Mondale endorses Obama

http://blogs.usatoday.com/onpolitics/2008/06/mondale-endorse.html

On the morning after he wrapped up the Democratic presidential nomination, Barack Obama has picked up the support of former vice president and 1984 Democratic presidential nominee Walter Mondale.

On WCCO radio this morning, Mondale said he believes "the time has come to unite, to get behind our nominee. And I'm excited about Barack Obama. I think he's got an excellent chance of winning." The station has posted audio of its interview with Monday here.

Yesterday, Obama also got an endorsement from the man Mondale worked for in the White House -- former president Jimmy Carter.

Of course, I also voted for Mondale and Carter
and every Dem that ever ran for anything.

4. This is going to be a problem for Hillary
If she hopes to 'Bargain' she only has a few days really. The delegates in her camp will start switching en masse soon because the primaries are over and they need to get behind the candidate who won.
