Two Virgin Island Superdelegates Endorse Barack Obama; Delegate Countdown - 157 To Go


by Christopher HassSaturday, May 10, 2008 at 09:50 PM

Virgin Island superdelegates Carole Burke and Kevin Rodriquez endorsed Barack Obama today. Rodriquez had previously backed Senator Clinton but decided to switch his endorsement, citing Obama’s ability to unite the Democratic Party and win the White House:

While I have great respect for Senator Clinton, today I am announcing my support for Barack Obama. Senator Obama has brought a new generation and energy into the democratic process and the Democratic Party. He has shown he can connect with Democrats, Republicans and Independents across this country, whether we live on the mainland or an island. Senator Obama’s judgment to lead, courage to tell the truth and commitment to working men and women make him the best candidate to lead this country forward.

274 superdelegates have now endorsed Barack Obama and 122th have endorsed since February 5. Obama is 157 delegates away from securing the Democratic nomination.
