O'S SURGE MAY SWING SUPERDELEGATES HIS WAY
  • Hillary Rodham Clinton faces losing previously committed superdelegates if Barack Obama's upward momentum carries him to victory in three looming primaries.

    A Texas lawmaker who'd pledged his superdelegate vote to Clinton told The Post he'd have to "weigh" his decision if she doesn't win his district on March 4, when his state and Ohio hold elections.

    Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell, a staunch Clinton backer who expects her to win his state's April 22 contest, acknowledged that voting results matter.

    "Individually, if a candidate in my district won 60 to 40, I might feel I have to take into consideration the feelings of the people who are voting," said the governor. But if the results were close, he said, "I don't think it would make a difference."
