In a YouTube video posted last week, Lauren Wolfe and Awais Khaleel, who as president and vice president of the College Democrats of America are among the youngest Democratic superdelegates, endorsed Obama. In the two-minute video, Wolfe said:
"We've received over 5,000 e-mails ... hundreds of YouTube comments. ... We support Senator Barack Obama."
Last month, Wolfe and Khaleel did what no superdelegate had done before: They posted a YouTube video asking college students to tell them whom to endorse. See both videos at youtube.com /collegedemocrats.

Apple Inc. has a deal with Time Warner Inc.'s HBO to feed television shows to its online iTunes store, reeling in one of the last holdouts among major channels and agreeing to a rare pricing concession to land hit shows like "The Sopranos," "Sex and the City" and "The Wire."
The Cupertino, Calif.-based company said HBO programming began appearing on iTunes last week and the shows cost either $1.99 or $2.99 per episode, making HBO the only channel allowed to charge above the standard $1.99 for its episodes on iTunes.
