Peterson hints he will support Obama
May 13, 2008
St. Paul, Minn. — The last uncommitted Minnesota superdelegate is hinting he will support Barack Obama for president.

U.S. Rep. Collin Peterson, D-Minn., said he wants to pass the farm bill first, before he decides which candidate he'll support in the presidential race.

Congress is expected to approve the five-year package this week

rich - good catch! This would result in a change to the Pelosi club, moving him from uncommitted to Obama and the numbers of Pelosi dropping from +7 to +6.

Peter -

Thanks for the response (I must have missed RR, ie. Roy Romer, on first glance at uncommitted list earlier today.

Why though is Romer in green (ie. Pelosi club), if he's added as an endorsement to Obama ?

Andrew - it's hardly an endorsement - sounds more like someone in a dark suite with a little curly wire behind his left ear and wearing sunglasses is standing behind her with his finger in his jacket pocket.

Roy Romer and Anita Bonds added for Obama.

Roy Romer is correct... he will be added as soon as I hear the words from his mouth.

Re Rich

He is listed under "Distinguished Party". So, yes he is a super. I have only heard rumours about Romer so not 100%, but it is likely.

Daschle is supporting Obama, but said that he believes that the leader in pledged delegates should win. If Clinton were to end the process with a lead in pledged delegates he would have voted for her.

I don't see Roy Romer (former CO governor) on the DCW uncommitted list or on the already committed list.

Is he a SD ?

Re Scquirrel

Obama-camp and Clinton-camp has allready decleared WV as a big win for WV, that means expections for Obama is low, some people are even talking about 80-20 or 75-25 (which is unlikely since Edwards will get som %). I think Obama-camp will roll out supers today and tomorrow, I would also guess on one or two major endorsements tomorrow or thursday, my bet will be Edwards or Gore for Obama tomorrow or thursday, that will get the attention away from his big loss in WV and could give him som momentum towards Or and KY.

If you look at Obamas superdelegate lead, it is around 10 and could end up somewhere between 10-15 today, that means his superdelegate lead is bigger than what Clinton could net from WV.
That away Obama-camp is kind of saying: "We got the same amount of delegates this weekend as your big WV will give you. You can`t win..."

Peter, guessing game at this time, but I would have a sportsmens bet that we will see quite a few today and tomorrow, as you say it would take the spin value out of WV.
