Obama Cuts Into Clinton's Delegate Lead Among Elected Officials
Bloomberg
Barack Obama has pulled almost even with Hillary Clinton in endorsements from top elected officials and has cut into her lead among the other superdelegates she's relying on to win the Democratic presidential nomination.
...
Underlying the movement to Obama, 46, is some politicians' calculation that he'll be the strongest candidate to face Republican Senator John McCain in November.
"All along he has been the one person McCain does not want to run against and that is still true," said Senator Jay Rockefeller, a West Virginia Democrat who endorsed Obama last month.
Senator Ben Nelson of Nebraska said Obama, unlike Clinton, stands a chance of winning at least part of his state, which has voted Republican in every presidential election since 1964 and is one of two states that award some presidential electoral votes by congressional district rather than winner-take-all.
"Obama has coattails in Nebraska," said Nelson, who endorsed his Senate colleague two months ago. "Our internal polls show he can win one, possibly two, congressional districts." |
