Ohio Democrats get pro-Obama message

By JULIE CARR SMYTH, Associated Press Writer 1 hour, 7 minutes ago

COLUMBUS, Ohio - Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland received a standing ovation Saturday night when he predicted the state will again tip the race for the White House — this time, delivering it to Democratic presidential nominee-in-waiting Barack Obama.

Strickland, noting that he had backed Hillary Rodham Clinton for the Democratic nomination, said she would want him to deliver a message.

"Barack Obama is the nominee of our party. He is a bright, committed, energizing young leader," Strickland said at the Ohio Democratic Party's annual dinner. "I met with him yesterday in Chicago and I pledged to him then, as I had previously, that I will work my heart out for him and that Ohio will work her heart out for him.

"Aren't you glad to be a Democrat?" Strickland shouted. "Aren't you really, really, really angry with George W. Bush and Dick Cheney?"

1. Actually I'm expecting a serious 'bump' once Hillary jumps on the Obama bandwagon... not that

Bill will join in, but maybe he should stay away...?
