Superdelegate Wu Backs Obama In Oregon

[stratomagi]

Oregon Rep. David Wu, one of Oregon's 12 Democratic superdelegates, announced Thursday that he'd back Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, citing Obama's stand against the Iraq war "from the very beginning."

Wu joins Oregon Rep. Earl Blumenauer in backing Obama. Gov. Ted Kulongoski and Rep. Darlene Hooley are supporting New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton. The rest of Oregon's superdelegates have not yet announced their choice.

"We need new policies both at home and abroad," Wu said in a statement. "Like Americans, the international community wants to see real change in America and I believe that Senator Obama embodies that change."

The endorsement is an important win for Obama in one of the few states still to vote. Oregon's primary ballots are counted on May 20.

16. Yup. David's a good guy and we're proud he's from Oregon.

If anyone remembers the right-wing freakazoid mutant named Mollie Boardanaro (sp?)--he beat her twice and sent her packing (I think she works for Bush now, LOL!!). Now they don't bother contesting the seat any more--and it used to be considered a "swing" district!
