WASHINGTON (AP) - A half-dozen of Missouri's Democratic super delegates remain undecided in the primary race between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, but the lobbying campaign for support from the party insiders is getting more intense. Clinton and Obama are running about even in the number of delegates won so far. The race may come down to the 796 super delegates, consisting of lawmakers, governors and other Democratic party insiders who are free to back whomever they want. Some Missouri super delegates say former President Clinton has called to seek support for his wife. Others who already back Clinton say Obama supporters have asked them to switch. Super delegates will make up about 19 percent of the overall delegates at the Democratic convention this summer.
