PONTIAC, Mich. (AP) — Michigan Democratic superdelegate Eric Coleman has endorsed Barack Obama for president.

The Oakland County commissioner issued a statement Tuesday saying he met with Obama during the Illinois U.S. senator's visit to Warren last Wednesday.

The Associated Press count Monday showed Obama with 1,915 delegates and U.S. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton with 1,721 out of the 2,026 needed for the nomination.

Coleman says he believes Obama is the candidate who will deliver the change the nation needs after eight years under President Bush.

The Democratic National Committee stripped Michigan and Florida of their delegates for holding their presidential primaries too early. Talks are under way for a plan to seat them.
