Rep. Grijalva switches to Obama from Edwards
By PAUL DAVENPORT

PHOENIX — Democratic U.S. Rep. Raul Grijalva of Arizona is endorsing Barack Obama after earlier backing John Edwards in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination.
Grijalva cited Obama's electability and his intention to "fundamentally change the rules of the game" in Washington, according to a statement obtained by The Associated Press in advance of a planned Tuesday conference call with reporters.

The third-term congressman, whose southern Arizona district includes Yuma and parts of Tucson, is the second prominent Arizona Democrat to endorse Obama in the immediate run-up to the state's Feb. 5 presidential primary.

Gov. Janet Napolitano endorsed Obama on Jan. 11 after being courted by Obama and rival Hillary Rodham Clinton. Since then, Napolitano has campaigned for Obama in Arizona, Colorado, Nevada and New Mexico.

2. that's the thing about super delegates is that their votes are not binding.

10. Absolutely. This is why counting superdelegates is pointless.

5. First time I had seen it... so thanks

On edit: just checked the links above. I'm in CA so all the original postings referred to were made before I woke up. Which is why I did not see them I guess.

6. oh for pete's sake. the Water's endorsement has been posted

at least 6 times. And you should fucking well know that. And yet here you are being missy prissy about this? I call hypocrisy.

13. So call people on it. We have so much going on that multiple threads are distracting.

It's suggested by DU that you should search before posting.

You have a problem with this? Talk to Skinner.

8. First time I saw it. And given the handshakegate diarrhea, this post is ridiculous.

9. Sounds like somebody is venting at the fact that another supporter peeled off Team Edwards.

4. The shifting tide

There will be a lot more already commited superdelegates moving to Obama, and then theres still the fact that the majority of the superdelegates that Congress holds still remain uncommited and can endorse at any time.

Gobama!

12. However if Edwards wins

He will change back to Edwards so it's really a moot point. :) That said, Go Hillary. :)
