It’s getting hot in the kitchen
A newspaper calls for Clinton to drop out and Obama gets the endorsements of four superdelgates and a former presidential nominee.
Former Sen. George McGovern, a strong supporter of Hillary Clinton until today, endorsed Barack Obama and urged Clinton to drop out. McGovern, the 1972 Democratic presidential nominee, is not a superdelegate (not sure why), but his endorsement and call for Clinton to drop out, will certainly catch the media’s attention.
Turning the heat up on Clinton, Obama announced the addition of three superdelegates to his team.
Today, in the wake of the North Carolina and Indiana primaries, the Obama campaign is announcing three new superdelegates: Jerry Meek, chairman of the North Carolina Democratic Party, Jeanette Council, a member of the D.N.C. from North Carolina and Inola Henry, a member of the D.N.C. from California.
Moreover, The Washington Blade previously endorsed Clinton but today is calling for her to “end her campaign.”
Finally, for now that is, superdelegate Jennifer McClellan, a Virgina DNC member, dumped Clinton for Obama this afternoon. McClellan has been wavering, but the elections yesterday obviously pushed her beyond the threshold.
