Superdelegate Pelz to back Obama


From late last night. If you haven't seen before, there is a list of the supers here and a running total of who has declared or not here.

Washington State Democratic Party Chairman Dwight Pelz, a superdelegate at the Democratic National Convention this summer, has just announced that he will support Barack Obama for the Democratic presidential nomination.

"I am writing you today to let you know that I will be supporting Sen. Barack Obama at the Democratic National Convention in Denver," he said in an e-mail to supporters.

"I will be supporting Barack Obama for many reasons," Pelz continued. "Over the last few years, I have gained a profound respect for Sen. Obama. I have read his books, listened to his speeches, and watched the campaign he has run on the grueling modern presidential playing-field for nearly two years. And I have spoken with literally hundreds of friends and colleagues -- both in and out of politics -- regarding their opinions and observations of this man. I have concluded that Barack Obama is ready to be a great American President."
