[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

ALBUQUERQUE—Sen. Jeff Bingaman endorsed Barack Obama for president Monday, joining Gov. Bill Richardson to put another of New Mexico's Democratic superdelegates in camp with the Illinois senator.

"I am announcing my support for Barack Obama for president and declaring my intention to vote for him at the Democratic convention," Bingaman said in a news release issued by the Obama campaign.

Bingaman, D-N.M., said he believes Obama is a better choice than Hillary Clinton on issues such as the Iraq war, health care and improving energy independence.

Why I support Hillary Clinton

Sunday, April 27, 2008

REP. DARLENE HOOLEY

For the first time in more than 200 years, the presidential nominee from one of the major political parties will not be a white male.

One candidate is not just potentially the first woman to be nominated for president, but undeniably the best qualified and best prepared candidate for the job.

I support Hillary Clinton -- not because she is a woman, but because she is knowledgeable, experienced and tenacious. She has been through political fire in the relentless attacks thrown at her in the '90s. She has studied the issues, as an advocate for families, as first lady, and as a U.S. senator.

And Hillary has overcome obstacles. After she fell short in her effort to pass universal health care, she didn't fade into the background. She got back to work.

The last seven years have been very hard on our country. The peace and prosperity of the '90s have been overtaken by war and recession. This is no time for on-the-job training.

Hillary Clinton knows the issues, knows the problems we face and knows how to renew our country and return to a time when opportunity was available for everyone and America was respected around the world.

Hillary will get us out of Iraq. She will honor our commitments to our veterans and service members.

Hillary will strengthen our economy and create new jobs by promoting new technologies and new enterprises.

Hillary will rebuild the bridges that have been burned by failed diplomacy and belligerent and irresponsible rhetoric.

Hillary will expand health care coverage to all Americans.

Hillary will protect our natural resources, promote renewable energy and reduce our dependence on foreign oil.

And, yes, Hillary will be a voice for women around the world. She will be an inspiration to little girls who will finally see truth behind the words, "Anyone can grow up and become president."

We sometimes forget that in dozens of nations, women are considered less than men. They are considered the property of their husbands or fathers. They are subjected to restrictions, humiliation and torment because of their gender. And they are killed simply for daring to act of their own free will. What would it mean to those women to see that the leader of the greatest nation in the world is a woman?

Hillary Clinton is a remarkable person, not just for her place in history, but because of all her accomplishments and abilities. Her resounding victory in Pennsylvania should show once and for all that Americans want real leadership. They want policies that will better their lives. They want solutions.

They want a leader who is ready from day one.

Hillary Clinton is that person.

Rep. Darlene Hooley is a Democrat representing Oregon's 5th Congressional District. She is a national co-chairwoman of Rural Americans for Hillary and one of Oregon's 12 Democratic Party superdelegates.
