Obama To Pick Up Endorsement Of Super-Del Bruce Braley Today
By Greg Sargent - April 30, 2008, 9:08AM

"The Obama campaign confirms that he will get the endorsement of Rep. Bruce Braley of Iowa today.

It's a key super-del get for Obama, because Braley's from a rural swing district and is a former Edwards backer, which could help defuse the talk that Obama is struggling with white working class voters.

Sources also confirm to me that Obama will roll out a second super-del -- and perhaps more on top of that -- later today."

3. Just as McClatchy survey in February discovered - supers are OVERWHELMINGLY in Obama's column.

Clintons have known this, too, and are waiting for some sort of drastic intervention to stop Obama from the nomination or at least maim him enough for McCain.

Hillary2012 - up and running since Super Tuesday.

7. Former Edwards backer - could be significant.
If the Edwards backers mostly break for Obama it could be all over.

9. But I thought all of those working white male folks won't vote
for no half-breed man. . .oh...that's right. They did - in Iowa. So much for the only-Hillary-loves-working-white-men meme. . .

13. Hey, that's MY Congressman! Braley is a trial lawyer who was with Edwards
I'm sure the recent County/District Conventions here in Iowa helped him make his decision.

Braley is and AWESOME freshman member of Congress. He'll be around for a long long time!

14. Closing that superdelegate gap fast.
How many Clinton supporters still want to let the Superdelegates decide?

:rofl:
