Indiana superdelegate endorses Obama

U.S. Rep. Pete Visclosky today released a statement endorsing U.S. Sen. Barack Obama in his bid to become president, becoming the second superdelegate from Indiana in as many days to declare his support for Obama.

"My choice is Senator Barack Obama who promises to bring Americans together to reach pragmatic, progressive solutions to the problems we face," Visclosky said in a statement.

He added: "Right now, America needs a president who offers a vision of the future comprised of sensible solutions to today's problems."

Indiana has 12 superdelegates, plus one will be added later after the state party convention on June 21.

Of the 12, seven are supporting Obama and four are backing U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton. U.S. Rep. Brad Ellsworth has not publicly committed. Ellsworth last week said that if the presidential race goes all the way to the convention, he would cast his vote for the candiate his district's voters chose. Clinton won Ellsowrth district during Indiana's May 6 primary.
