Interesting comment - even Ted Kennedy came out for Obama pretty early on - and he often speaks for the old guard establishment.  I wonder is it because Obama hasn't sufficiently addressed their agendas yet - the economy, environment and human rights - in a sufficiently radical way.  Obama is in "don't scare the horses" mode, and whilst trying to ride the wave of a yearning for change is trying to keep a very broad coalition on board whilst not being too specific on anything.

I think the real battle for these SUPER super delegates will come in June when the Primary season is over and the Dem party gets down to the real business of hammering out an electoral policy platform (and who gets what jobs).  This will happen mostly behind closed doors, but expect a steady stream of high profile endorsements to keep the news flow going on quiet days of the campaign to create the sense of a gathering moment of change behind Obama.

McCain may have peaked too soon.  He doesn't really have anywhere else to go - whereas the Obama movement is still growing.
