RALEIGH -- The North Carolina primary is over, but 17 area superdelegates are still getting intense pressure from the presidential campaigns. If neither Democratic candidate drops out, these types of voters will decide who gets the nomination.

While thousands of North Carolinians saw the Democratic candidates in person, very few had access like superdelegate Muriel Offerman.

"I've probably met Hillary about three times," Offerman said. "Met with Michelle Obama and [Barack] Obama once and other surrogates who are out there supporting the candidates."

Superdelegates are influential Democrats who will pick the presidential nominee if a candidate doesn't win by the last primary on June 3.

"They are going to be the deciding factor in this year’s primary fight," said Peace College political professor David McLennan said. "Just look at the numbers and six primaries out mathematically it can't be figured out otherwise."

That has the Democratic candidates putting on the full court press, but Offerman says she won't make a decision until June when all states have voted.

"I don't feel pressured even though when I met with Hillary last Tuesday when Governor Easley had endorsed her she did ask that I endorse now and I didn't do it and told her why," Offerman added.

While the few undecided superdelegates remain undecided, it is clear the results from Tuesday’s election are weighing on their minds. Offerman says she has remained neutral but hints her mind may be changing.

"I will say that I'm probably leaning more toward a decision now after the vote has been taken in North Carolina because that definitely tells me which candidate this state is backing," Offerman said.

In this state, Barack Obama won by 14 percentage points.
