By Jessica Alaimo, PolitickerME.com Reporter

U.S. Rep. Mike Michaud endorsed John Edwards early in the presidential campaign.

When Edwards dropped out, Michaud entered vast realm of “uncommitted superdelegates”, the subject of virtually every pundit debate and a buzz word in political circles.

Following Edwards’ endorsement of Barack Obama, Michaud has decided to remain uncommitted.

U.S. Rep. Tom Allen endorsed Obama on Monday, helping to put him in the lead with superdelegates.

Superdelegate Stevens backing Obama

By Alex Isenstadt, Politicker.com Reporter

On Wednesday, Maine Democratic Vice Chair Marianne Stevens, a Superdelegate, is announcing her support for Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama.

“After considerable thought I am proud to give my support and endorsement to Senator Barack Obama. He has won eleven straight contests since February 5, including the Maine caucuses. His success and the overwhelming number of voters who have chosen change helped me make this decision. He's run a smart and exciting campaign and he will bring us to victory in November,” Stevens said.
