While driving down an East Texas country road I spotted this scene. The autumn trees and the late afternoon sun made these golden bales of hay shine just a little bit more. Fortunately I had my camera with me. (c) James Q. Eddy Jr.

Backroom Primary: Undecided Superdelegate Farr

NPR | By John McChesney

Published April 2, 2008 at 5:00 AM CDT

Rep. Sam Farr (D-CA) speaks during a Capitol Hill Ocean Week event on June 6, 2002, on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC.

More than 300 superdelegates across the country have yet to commit to either Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama. California has the most superdelegates, and nearly two dozen of them are uncommitted — about twice as many as any other state. As part of our series "Backroom Primary," NPR's John McChesney catches up with California Rep. Sam Farr, who is an uncommitted superdelegate.
