( Phoenix, AZ ) With six months until the presidential election, it's still not completely clear who the contestants will be, at least on the Democratic side. And for the first time in recent memory, the choice could come down to about 800 people known as superdelegates. They're delegates to the national convention whose votes are not bound by the party's primaries. We have 11 Democratic superdelegates in Arizona, and they include elected officials and party leaders. Of the 11, seven have already declared their support for a candidate. Four for Clinton. Three for Obama. So this morning, we'll focus now on the four superdelegates who are still undeclared. KJZZ's Rene Gutel reports.
| Superdelegate | Position | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Janet Napolitano | Arizona Governor | Obama |
| Charlene Fernandez | Chair of Yuma Democratic Party | Obama |
| Raul Grijalva | Congressman | Obama |
| Harry Mitchell | Congressman | Undecided |
| Gabrielle Giffords | Congresswoman | Undecided |
| Don Bivens | Head of Democratic Party | Undecided |
| Terry Goddard | Arizona Attorney General | Undecided |
| Ed Pastor | Congressman | Clinton |
| Carolyn Warner | DNC member | Clinton |
| Janice Brunson | Party Activist | Clinton |
| Joe Rios | Party Activist and National Committeeman | Clinton |
