John Glenn endorses Sen. Hillary Clinton

[journalist3072]

Former Ohio Senator and astronaut John Glenn announced his endorsement of Hillary Clinton today.

"With all of the challenges facing Ohio and America, we need a leader who can deliver real solutions on her first day in office," Senator Glenn said.

"Hillary Clinton will immediately go to work turning around our economy and rebuilding the middle class. She has the strength and experience to take on the Republicans in November and win Ohio and the White House."

Sen. Glenn was the third American to fly in space aboard the Friendship 7 in 1962, and received the Congressional Space Medal of Honor in 1978. After retiring from NASA, Sen. Glenn served the people of Ohio in the United States Senate from 1974 to 1999, the longest tenure of any Ohio Senator in history.

He began his career as a Marine Corps and Air Force pilot, flying combat missions during World War II and later Korea.

"I am deeply honored to have the support of Senator Glenn, a true American hero," Clinton said. "With his help, we'll bring our message of change across Ohio."

6. breaking, Hillary wins moon primary

in her comments, Clinton said "I'd like to thank all the good people up on the moon for voting for me. As we all know, the moon is much more vital to our quest for the White House than Virgina, where Democrats won't win anyway. I'm sure the moon has sent a powerful message today that the Democrats can compete on in places that have a lot of gravity, and those that hardly have any at all. It's a broad coalition.
