NC Primary Watch: What about the superdelegates?

Exit polls are showing that today's primaries in Indiana and North Carolina are headed towards predictable results: Clinton taking Indiana, Obama winning N.C.

Meaning, today's primaries will likely settle nothing in the Democratic presidential contest, making the role of superdelegates all the more important.

So where do North Carolina's superdelegates stand? Under the Dome has a useful list:

Clinton

Gov. Mike Easley
Susan Burgess, Charlotte Councilwoman

Obama

U.S. Rep. G.K. Butterfield
U.S. Rep. David Price
U.S. Rep. Mel Watt
Everett Ward, former Democratic Party director
Dannie Montgomery, N.C. Democratic Party vice chair
Joyce Brayboy, public policy lobbyist
Jeanette Council, Cumberland County commissioner

Uncommitted

U.S. Rep. Heath Shuler
U.S. Rep. Mike McIntyre
U.S. Rep. Brad Miller
U.S. Rep. Bob Etheridge
Jerry Meek, chairman of state party
Carol Peterson, Buncombe County commissioner
David Parker, Statesville attorney
Dr. Jeanette Council
Muriel K. Offerman
Two delegates to be named at the state convention.
