Reps. Watt, Price are endorsing Obama

Two N.C. superdelegates will endorse Sen. Barack Obama for president Wednesday.

Reps. Mel Watt and David Price planned a conference call to announce their decision to endorse Obama over Sen. Hillary Clinton of New York.

The entire N.C .delegation had endorsed former Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina, and until now only one had announced an endorsement of either of the two remaining candidates. Rep. G.K. Butterfield also endorsed Obama.

Price and Watt are two of the state's most influential representatives in Washington. Price, a former Duke political scientist, is a Democrat from Chapel Hill first elected to Congress in 1986. He is the most senior Democratic congressman from North Carolina and he chairs an appropriations subcommittee.

Watt, a lawyer, is a Charlotte Democrat first elected in 1992. He is chair of a financial services subcommittee -- a key post for his hometown -- and is a past chair of the Congressional Black Caucus.
