Iowa Governor Chet Culver will endorse Barack Obama's bid for the Democratic presidential nomination during a rally tonight in Omaha, Nebraska.

Culver says Obama has been fighting for ordinary people for many years, and will continue to fight for them as president.

This gives Obama another all-important superdelegate.

Although Culver had stayed neutral prior to the Iowa caucus, his wife had endorsed Edwards.

5. That makes two for Obama and two for Clinton from Iowa

Culver and Congressman Dave Loebsack for Obama

Congressman Leonard Boswell and DNC member Sandy Opstvedt for Clinton

Congressman Bruce Braley and DNC member Richard Mahacheck had endorsed John Edwards

Senator Tom Harkin, Chair Scott Brennan stayed neutral (are there any more superdelegates from Iowa?)

9. There are 11 total

and only those four you mentioned are committed.
The others are either waiting for Edwards to endorse or still remaining neutral.

10. Correction: This is now Obama's third superdelegate to Clinton's two

He also has State Treasurer Mike Fitzgerald:

11. That's right - both Mike Fitzgerald and Attorney General Tom Miller endorsed Obama

BEFORE former Governor Tom Vilsack dropped out and became Clinton's barking dog here in Iowa.
