Margaret Campbell, Party official, Mont.
«It’s been emotional, it’s been frustrating. It has been very frustrating. It is a huge responsibility».
Thomas R. Carper, Senator, Del.
«I frankly don’t care a lot who ends up at the top of the ticket, but I hope at the end of the day they could be convinced to run together».
James E. Clyburn, Representative, S.C.
«I still remain studiously neutral. I think that the historical significance of so-called superdelegates — these are unpledged delegates — is very, very important for us to maintain. We are in place in order to either extend the wishes of the voters or to try to make corrections if they need to be made».
Gilda Cobb-Hunter, Party official, S.C.
«I’m undeclared because I think it’s important for the process to play itself out. I don’t see inserting myself into the process. I’m not interested in being wooed. I’m not important».
Peter A. DeFazio, Representative, Ore.
«This has never come up in my political lifetime. I have no idea how this will play out».
Russ Feingold, Senator, Wis.
«I’m having a hard time deciding between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, as are many people. Those are the two I take the most seriously. I go back and forth, to be honest with you.

Tom Harkin, Senator, Iowa
«I haven’t made up my mind yet. I’m still neutral in this race, and I intend to remain that way».
Awais Khaleel, Party official, Wis.
«I don ‘t think anybody my age, 23 years old, expects to be this deep in the process right now».
James Roosevelt, Party official, Mass.
«I would urge superdelegates who are undecided to wait and see to get a better gauge of electability of the candidates».
