From a google search just a few minutes ago:

Hill to endorse Obama tonight
The Herald-Times (subscription), IN - 3 minutes ago
Barack Obama will pick up an endorsement from Indiana 9th District Congressman Baron Hill tonight at a rally in Bloomington. Hill is an uncommitted “super ...

That's a Congressman from Indiana. I predict another "Hill" will be endorsing Obama after June 3. :D

45. Somehow, I feel Hank is on the other team. Maybe that's just me.
His buddy with the pest control business definitely posts in freepville. But I think Peggy is a secret Democrat.

5. another SD will defy the will of his state's voters??? the obama mob should be outraged again....
Edited on Wed Apr-30-08 09:29 AM by msongs
because Indiana voters have not yet spoken and because we all know that failure to endorse obama against the will of the primary voters is a capital crime. then again, Indidana has not voted, so to avoid being massive hypocrites, if Clinton wins Indidana the obama mob will DEMAND a retraction of this super delegate, just like they are demanding kerry/kennedy honor the will of Mass. voters.

yeah, right, when pigs fly :-)

11. No, bucky, our problem isn't with endorsements, it's with reversing elected delegates.
I suppose you're busy writing Evan Bayh and telling him to withdraw his support for Hillary until his district's votes are tallied, right?

And, homey, I normally don't bitch about grammar and spelling, but it's I-N-D-I-A-N-A, not Indidan and not Indidana. Show some respect, okay?

7. That is huge, people. This is an area where Obama needs support.
Bloomington is home to IU, but it is nestled in the heart of Indiana's more southern culture.

44. Oops...
now he's on Bayh's, Clinton's and Carville's s-list.

At this rate Obama should surpass Clinton's SD count in about two more weeks...or less.

This has been coming for quite some time.

But... make no mistake.... Bloomington is not reflective of Indiana as a whole.
