Waxman and Berman Back Obama

By Jeremy P. Jacobs 05/15/2008 01:18PM

Two prominent House Democrats announced their support of Obama today: foreign affairs committee chair Howard Berman (D-Calif.) and oversight committee chair Henry Waxman (D-Calif.). Waxman stressed Obama's "experience, judgment, integrity and toughness" in his statement, while Berman said Obama has "laid out a foreign policy vision driven by principle and conviction." Here is Waxman's release.

I was just going through the list of unpledged superdelegates, picking out which are the big names left. Besides the obvious choices (Pelosi, Carter, Gore), Waxman and Berman were near the top of the list. I'm expecting Obama to continue rolling out supers, but saving a few for after Kentucky next week, where Clinton will likely win big again.

If you’re tired of waiting around for those super delegates to make a decision already, go to LobbyDelegates.com and push them to support Clinton
If you haven’t done so yet, please write a message to each of your state’s superdelegates at http://www.lobbydelegates.com

Sending a note to current Clinton supporters lets them know it’s appreciated, sending a note to current Obama supporters can hopefully sway them to change their vote to Clinton, and sending a note to the uncommitted folks will hopefully sway them to vote for Clinton. It’s that easy…
