Rep. Linda Sanchez (D-CA) endorses Barack Obama

"Since I began serving in Congress five years ago, I have seen the difficulty in bringing fresh ideas to Washington, DC, and to our country. Sadly, great talent and ideas are too often dismissed because those who possessed them were seen as too idealistic, too young, or too unwilling to submit to the same old Washington way of doing things. Senator Obama is the candidate who can change that culture by mobilizing a new generation to get involved in the civic life of our country. He is reinvigorating America by showing us that we all have a stake -- and a say -- in our democracy and our country's future.

7. Linda Sanchez is more liberal than her sister Loretta Sanchez, a Blue Dog Dem.

Her National Journal ranking is 91.3 to her sister Loretta's 74.3.

"My sister is more liberal than I. That's definitely true," Loretta Sanchez says. "We approach issues from a different perspective."

4. Hits on the generational theme

Perhaps someday, most of this country will lose its cynicism and stop settling for less.

Cheers, Linda.

6. I wonder who her sister, Rep. Loretta Sanchez (D-CA), will endorse?

To have both sisters would be a feather in Obama's cap.
