Kalyn Free, a former Pittsburg County district attorney who now helps American Indians run for public office, on Monday became the fourth Oklahoma superdelegate to endorse Obama, of Illinois.

Only one of the state's 10 superdelegates is backing Clinton, of New York, who won all five Oklahoma congressional districts and 55 percent of the vote statewide in Oklahoma's primary on Feb. 5; there are five state superdelegates who have not announced a preference.

Superdelegates are the 796 elected officials and party insiders who may ultimately decide the Democratic presidential nominee, since neither Obama nor Clinton is likely to garner enough of the pledged delegates allocated by primary voting.

Obama leads in pledged delegates, while Clinton has a narrow lead of 268 to 256 of the superdelegates who have committed so far.
