Peterson speaks: Last Minnesota superdelegate hints he’ll pick Obama

Rep. Collin Peterson, Minnesota’s last remaining undecided superdelegate, hinted on Minnesota Public Radio that he may pick Sen. Barack Obama, but he wants to get the farm bill wrapped up before he makes the decision.

“Sen. Obama won my district by a pretty good margin. So that’ll be heavily weighted in my decision,” Peterson said on Tuesday.

Out of 14 Minnesota superdelegates, only three have promised support for Sen. Hillary Clinton: Vice President Walter Mondale, and DNC members Rick Stafford and Jackie Stevenson. Obama has picked up the support of Sen. Amy Klobuchar, Reps. Tim Walz, Betty McCollum, Keith Ellison and James Oberstar, DFL Party Chair Brian Melendez, DFL Associate Chair Donna Cassutt and DNC members Ken Foxworth, Nancy Larson and State Sen. Mee Moua.
