As expected, the Missouri Democratic Party’s state committee met today (Saturday) and selected Attorney General Jay Nixon and State Auditor Susan Montee as the party’s two additional superdelegates to the 2008 Democratic National Convention.

The two join 14 selected earlier.   The previous crowd had been split 4-4 between the two remaining presidential contenders — Sens. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama — with six uncommitted.

The addition of Nixon and Montee now gives Obama a slight edge. That’s because Montee has long been an Obama backer. Nixon says he’s remaining neutral.

The upshot: Missouri’s superdelegates are split 5-4 for Obama, with 7 uncommitted.

Here’s the breakdown of who the other 14 are, and who they support for president now.

Sen. Claire McCaskill – Obama
Former Rep. Dick Gephardt – Clinton
Rep. Russ Carnahan – Obama
Rep. Lacy Clay – Obama
Rep. Emanuel Cleaver – Clinton
Rep. Ike Skelton – uncommitted
Sec of State Robin Carnahan – intentionally neutral and plans to stay that way
State Party chair John Temporiti – intentionally neutral and plans to stay that way
Vice chair Yolanda Wheat – ditto

DNC member Doug Brooks — Clinton
DNC member Mark Bryant –  Obama
DNC member Leila Medley – undecided
DNC member Sandra Querry — Clinton
DNC member Maria Chappelle-Nadal — intentionally uncommitted
