PA Senator Bob Casey to endorse Obama, join bus tour

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

Pennsylvania Sen. Bob Casey plans to endorse Sen. Barack Obama for president today in Pittsburgh, sending a message both to the state's primary voters and to undecided superdelegates who might decide the close race for the Democratic presidential nomination.

...

Casey sees Obama as an "underdog" in the campaign who sacrificed at the beginning of his career to be a community organizer "in the shadows of the closed steel mills in Chicago," said a source close to Casey who is familiar with the endorsement decision but was not authorized to speak publicly about it.

The source, reached by The Inquirer yesterday, said that Casey was also impressed with how Obama had stood up to the pressures of the campaign, including recent attacks over the racially incendiary remarks of his former pastor.

Casey's decision was also personal, motivated in part by the enthusiasm his four daughters - Elyse, Caroline, Julia and Marena - have expressed for Obama, the source said. "He thinks we shouldn't be deaf to the voices of the next generation."

good endorsement

The Clinton campaign will soon announce that Sen Casey doesn't matter and that his endorsement means nothing.

Good endorsement. Hope he can draw some conservative Democrats in the keystone state. Yes, Clintons will say Sen Casey is not relevant, etc. Hope James Carville keeps my mouth shut.

True. Although, that repeated song and dance is getting more ridiculous each time they do it.
