Author Garrison Keillor, former NARAL pro-choice America president endorse Obama
ST. PAUL, Minn. - Garrison Keillor, host of public radio's "A Prairie Home Companion," has endorsed Democratic Sen. Barack Obama for president, Obama's campaign announced Sunday. Obama also won backing from a key backer of former candidate John Edwards.

"I'm happy to support your candidacy, which is so full of promise for our country," Keillor, the best-selling author and humorist wrote in a letter declaring his support. "Seven years of a failed presidency is a depressing thing, and the country is pressing for a change and looking for someone with clear vision who is determined to break through the rhetorical logjam and find sensible ways to move our country forward. That's you, friend."

3. "Clear vision" of hope and change, change and hope, whatever you want it to be!
Thank you for telling me how to vote! Had I known you were going to make an endorsement, I wouldn't have already voted.
