NORTH CAROLINA - Democratic superdelegates

Rep. G.K. Butterfield, 1st Congressional District - Obama

Rep. Mike McIntyre, 7th Congressional District

Rep. Brad Miller, 13th Congressional District - Obama (Endorsed 5/8/08)

Rep. David Price, 4th Congressional District - Obama (Endorsed 4/16/08)

"The fact is that the unpledged delegate group (superdelegates) was added not to be kingmakers or queenmakers but simply to give each state a few extra slots without having to sign in blood for a presidential candidate or run against their own constituents," he said. "I don’t think anyone thought this would be the decisive voting bloc, let alone overturn a popular verdict." - Rep. David Price, quoted in the New York Times ("Superdelegate Stalemate Shows No Sign of Easing," 4-26-08.

David Parker - Obama (Endorsed 6/3/08)

"Parker, a Statesville attorney and a Democratic committee member, said he is trying to determine whether Clinton or Obama would most help Democratic candidates in North Carolina for offices such as governor and and U.S. Senator. That is one reason, Parker said, that superdelegates were selected -- to look dispassionately at what would be the best for the party. But Parker is undecided. "My mind is with Hillary," Parker said. "My heart is with Obama, and my gut has not kicked in yet. I don't know." - N&O, 2-16-08

"Meantime, Buncombe County commissioner Carol Peterson, after listening to Clinton's speech from South Dakota in which she declined to concede the race, said she'd like to hold her endorsement until the party can conclude discussions about disputed delegates in Florida and Michigan."There are still some things out there, and I feel like everyone needs to be heard," Peterson said." - N&O, Under The Dome, 6-3-08
Everett Ward - Obama
