Kentucky congressman to endorse Obama

LOUISVILLE (AP) - Democrat Barack Obama's campaign director in Kentucky says Congressman Ben Chandler will endorse Obama for their party's presidential nomination.

Carolyn Tandy told The Associated Press on Tuesday that Chandler will announce his support for Obama at a midday news conference in downtown Louisville. Chandler represents a central Kentucky district and carries one of the most famous names in Kentucky politics.

The endorsement means Obama will have the backing of both of Kentucky's Democratic congressmen leading into the state's May 20 presidential primary.

Congressman John Yarmuth - who represents the Louisville area - previously endorsed Obama.

27. according to

Democratic Convention Watch 2008

http://demconwatch.blogspot.com/2008/01/superdelegate-list.html

that's 7 sd endorsements for Obama and 2 for Clinton since the Pennsylvania election.

I hear on DU that Clinton also supposed to get an endorsement from NC Gov. Easley, and that Obama will get an endorsement from Ky Rep Ben Chandler.

By my rough count it seems that he is getting 2 for every 1 SD she puts up, since PA.

[graycem]

23. Lobby the others..

I just posted a thread where you can go and Lobby the superdelegates, whether pledged or unpledged. I targeted the unpledged in my state. Hope everyone else would do the same if they haven't already.

er...oh, did you mean someone else?

[William769]

52. Are you really that daft?

Those are pictures of Red Skeleton.

[Barack_America]

41. This is now on the front-page of DU. If that's not proof that today was a low relevance day,

I don't know what is.

*sigh* I miss the days of intelligent, well-thought out posts. Now it's just pointless trench warfare.

[Cha]

42. May the two Kentucky Congressmen

have a positive influence for their constituents on the Primary Day, May 20th

Thank you, Ben Chandler and John Yarmouth..you know what you're doing.

[downindixie]

47. I thought that I heard there are 7

super delegates in N.C. that are to endorse Obama the day before the N.C. primary?

[Divine Discontent]

48. That's kinda huge!

And yet another SD that Sen. Clinton will not be getting! Can you IMAGINE the pressure Bill is putting on these SD's to help his wife out after he helped (some of) them get in or raise money over the years? And he's been so mad-doggish lately that they certainly feel heat from him, and it's so great to hear one after another say "no thanks, I'm backing Barack Obama for President!"


That's awesome!

Only a few more weeks of this crap folks, I think we'll start hearing 3-4 a day going for Obama starting after these two states vote.

[SaveAmerica]

50. He's taking a political risk to do what's right for America, from the article:

"Anything that you do is a political risk along these lines, but in my view the stakes are too high to worry about that," said Chandler.

[LaStrega]

51. wooohooot!

:woohoo:

[knixphan]

53. Yeah Boi!
