9:46 AM: Another super delegate for Obama
Another Dem super delegate from Wisconsin is supporting Barack Obama.
Marquette University student Jason Rae, a Democratic National Committee member, said he decided to back Obama after seeing the overwhelming support he received from students and young people in Tuesday's primary. Rae said he had been undecided between Obama and Hillary Clinton himself until he walked into the voting booth Tuesday and went with his gut feeling.
He said when he was elected to the DNC, he decided that he wanted to represent the voice of his generation on the body.
"It was pretty clear and evident to me that my generation was speaking out for Senator Obama," Rae said.
That gives Obama six of the state's 16 super delegates, while Clinton has two. U.S. Rep. Steve Kagen had had indicated before the primary that he would pledged his super delegate vote to whoever won his district, and Obama won the 8th CD. But Kagen is so far holding off announcing a decision.
