Some would argue that having your cellphone deluged by sales calls is not such a bad thing, especially when the tele-marketers are senators, governors a former president and two of the most sought after people on the planet.

In a long front-page article in today's Washington Post, by Philip Rucker chronicles state Del. Heather Mizeur's five month DNC superdelegate odyssey. She kept a detailed diary noting the phone calls, letters and on-the-street interactions she had with people trying to sway her one way or the other.

Mizeur bounced back and forth between candidates, voting for Hillary Clinton in the Feb. 12 primary, and waiting to endorse Barack Obama until after the primaries ended, out of respect for Clinton.

"I felt, you know what, if I came out now for Obama, it'd feel like I was kicking her in the teeth. I'd just be another one of the bullies telling her to get out."

On picking Obama, Mizeur tells The Post, "The visual I kept coming back to was a moving truck pulling up in front of the White House. When I would think of Barack, Michelle and their kids jumping out of the moving truck, it excited me. It represented a new start and change, versus Bill and Hillary dusting off all of their things and putting them back where they were."

Mizeur's endorsement gives Obama the lead in Maryland superdelegates at 13, followed by Clinton's 11 and 5 undecided.
