LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Two previously uncommitted Michigan superdelegates have endorsed Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama.

Wayne County Executive Robert Ficano announced his decision Wednesday after meeting with Obama, who is in the state campaigning.

Obama also picked up the endorsement of College Democrats of America President Lauren Wolfe of Royal Oak.

Rival Hillary Rodham Clinton has the backing of seven Michigan superdelegates, while Obama has the backing of at least three.

Michigan's delegation isn't being counted at the moment because the state is being punished for moving up its primary in violation of party rules.

A national party committee on May 31 will decide whether to seat delegations from disputed primaries in Florida and Michigan.
