6 Clinton Superdelegates From Mich Switch
LANSING, Mich. (AP) - Six Michigan superdelegates who had backed Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton have switched their support to presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama.
Gov. Jennifer Granholm, Lt. Gov. John Cherry, Democratic National Committee member Joel Ferguson and U.S. Reps. John Dingell of Dearborn and Dale Kildee of Flint say Saturday that they now endorse Obama. U.S. Sander Levin of Royal Oak says it's time to campaign for Obama in Michigan.
They say it's time to unite behind the party's nominee and begin campaigning for him in Michigan.
Seven Michigan superdelegates had endorsed Clinton before the switch.
Obama now has 21 in his camp. Clinton says Saturday she's suspending her campaign and that Democrats "need to do all we can to help elect Barack Obama."
