Capitol View

Collin Peterson appears to be leaning toward Obama

Posted at 10:24 AM on May 13, 2008 by Tom Scheck

DFL Rep. Collin Peterson was on MPR this morning to talk about the Farm Bill, ethanol and other issues. You can listen to the interview here. Peterson, who is Minnesota remaining uncommitted superdelegate, said he would wait until the Farm Bill debate was over before he would back a candidate. He did, however, add this nugget:

"Senator Obama won my district by a pretty good margin. So that'll be heavily weighted in my decision."

Here's where Minnesota superdelegates stand.

Two other superdelegates will be selected at the DFL State Party Convention.
