Just saw this one: Henry Waxman Endorses Obama!
Edited on Thu May-15-08 01:50 PM by tekisui
Statement of Henry A. Waxman

I have the greatest respect and admiration for Senator Clinton and former President Clinton. They have made remarkable contributions to our country and I believe Hillary Clinton would be a superb President of the United States.

That has been one of the major reasons I have remained an uncommitted superdelegate. I wanted to make sure that Senator Clinton had every opportunity to bring her campaign to the American people.

It is now clear, however, that the Democratic Party is nearing a broad consensus on our nominee. And it is with great pride that I endorse Senator Barack Obama for President.

Senator Obama has run an extraordinary campaign and he will be an extraordinary President. Senator Obama¹s vision for change has inspired tens of millions of Americans. And he’s also proved that he has the experience, judgment, integrity, and toughness to bring real reform to Washington.

Our nation faces big challenges. We need to bring our troops safely home from Iraq. We need to solve global warming and finally enact universal health care legislation. And we need to create new jobs and strengthen our middle class.

Senator Obama is the leader we need both here and around the world and I look forward to working with him to make his vision for change the new reality in Washington.

9. The supers are pouring in!
It is not getting more and more unlikely that Clinton will regain the super lead.

No Superdelegate endorsements since WV, only one add-on.
