Two delegates to be named at the state convention.

Joyce Brayboy has endorsed Barack Obama.

The Democratic superdelegate, whose day job is as a Washington, D.C.-based lobbyist, made the decision recently.

Previously, she told Dome that she would study both candidates' electability and their stances on health care and education before making a decision.

U.S. Rep. G.K. Butterfield and two other superdelegates, Everett Ward and Dannie Montgomery, are also backing Obama, while Charlotte City Councilwoman Susan Burgess backs Hillary Clinton.

Everett Ward has been a Barack Obama fan for a long time.

The former executive director of the N.C. Democratic Party, now a state member on the Democratic National Committee, will be a superdelegate at the national convention, and he's backing Obama.

"I think without any question his platform, his position and his view for the country led me to gravitate to him," he told Dome.

Ward, 49, went to his first convention as a teen-aged volunteer in 1976. He served as a superdelegate in 1996, 2000 and 2004, and helped draft the complicated rules for this year's race.

"It actually feels good to see your rules working," he said.  

Ward said that he could not see himself voting for Hillary Clinton at this point, but he said that once the convention starts, anything can happen.

"Those of us who are veterans of national conventions know that each day is different," he said.
