Sen. Dorgan Endorses Obama
North Dakota Senator Byron Dorgan endorsed Barack Obama in the Democratic primary contest today, telling reporters in a conference call hosted by the campaign that the Illinois Senator is the candidate "who has really inspired the American people to become a part of something bigger than ourselves and to try to move this country in a different direction."
Dorgan discussed their joint work on trade and jobs, noting that Obama has "never felt that NAFTA was good for America" (are you listening Ohio?). Obama won North Dakota's caucuses with 61 percent of the vote and Dorgan said his success in states like his gave Democrats hope of competing in all 50 states this fall. One more super delegate for Obama.
Meanwhile, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution is reporting that Georgia Rep. John Lewis is switching his endorsement in the presidential campaign from Hillary Clinton to Obama. "Something's happening in America, something some of us did not see coming," Lewis is quoted saying. "Barack Obama has tapped into something that is extraordinary."
