State party backing Obama; other uncommitted delegates still on fence

The Pa. state party has hopped off the fence and thrown its support behind Barack Obama before Hillary Clinton declines drops out of the race.

The party's stance hasn't changed, said spokesman Abe Amoros. It has continually said whoever emerges victorious would receive the party's full support, Amoros said.

Asked if the senator from Illinois had won, Amoros said, "That's apparent to probably everyone that's breathing on the planet at this point."

Other uncommitted state Democrats might also back Obama before the day is over.

Uncommitted superdelegate U.S. Rep. Mike Doyle will announce his endorsement for the Democratic nominee later today, according to aides.

He, U.S. Rep. Tim Holden and U.S. Rep Jason Altmire are the three remaining uncommitted superdelegates in the race.

Tess Mullen, Altmire spokeswoman, said she is still unsure when he will make a formal endorsement.
