U.S. Rep. Ron Kind, who had promised to use his super delegate vote to support whichever candidate won his congressional district, has issued a statement verifying that he will support Barack Obama at the Democratic National Convention in Denver.

"If our party and our democracy stands for anything, it is that no person, regardless of position or office, should have his or her vote count more than anyone else's," Kind said in a statement of his decision to back his constituents' choice for the nominee. He added that Obama represents "our best chance to break down the partisan barriers that have been building for years."

Both Congressmen said they would endorse whoever won their districts. Obama won both of their districts with about 56% of the vote. Kind has now endorsed, waiting on Kagan.
