Obama superdelegates: An article in Wednesday’s Section A about superdelegates backing Sen. Barack Obama for president reported that Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Los Angeles) did not praise Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton when Waters announced she was switching her support to Obama. Waters, in a statement, actually called Clinton an extraordinary candidate, saying, “As an outspoken advocate on issues critical to women and children, I have great admiration for Sen. Clinton and know firsthand her commitment to our country.”
