[Dems2008] Sen Rockefeller & 4 other superdelegates back Obama

Brian Melendez and Donna Cassutt of Minnesota, Renee Pfenning of North Dakota, Yvonne Davis of Texas and most importantly Senator Jay Rockefeller of West Virginia, Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee.

Here is Sen Rockefeller's endorsement:

"Today, I'm proud to lend my support and strong endorsement toBarack Obama and his candidacy for President of the United States.Barack Obama is the most qualified person – Democrat or Republican – tolead our country in the face of enormous challenges – the very realthreat of terrorism, economic uncertainty, and instability at home andabroad."As Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, I am all too
aware that the threats we face are unconventional. They are
sophisticated. They are constantly changing and adapting. And they
are very serious. What matters most in the Oval Office is sound
judgment and decisive action. It's about getting it right on crucial
national security questions the first time – and every time.
"The indisputable fact is Barack Obama was right about Iraq when
many of us were wrong. It was a tough call and the single greatest
national security question, and mistake, of our time. Today, we remain
a country at war, and countless mistakes over the last six and a half
years have made us less safe. The stakes have never been higher, and
that is why we must take a stand.
"I am not just supporting Barack Obama because of his strength on
national security. I am equally proud of his commitment to rebuild
America – so that we're a country of equality and prosperity – where no
segment of society is left behind. I know Barack Obama will fight and
win the battle for health care, good paying jobs, and energy security.
"Barack Obama is a uniquely gifted, brilliant and strategic thinker,
who genuinely understands the hopes and desires of the American
people. There is nothing sheltered about his life; he's always had to
work hard, and he's always fought to make his community and his country
better.
"A leader like Barack Obama just doesn't come along very often, and
as voters who care passionately about the future of our country, we
cannot afford to squander this opportunity."

Slainte,
Rob Harrington
