Philadelphia superdelegate endorses Obama

HARRISBURG, Pa. — Barack Obama has his wife to thank for his latest endorsement from one of Pennsylvania's Democratic superdelegates.

Carol Ann Campbell, a former Philadelphia city councilwoman, said she made up her mind Saturday after receiving a telephone call from the Illinois senator's wife, Michelle.

The women talked for nearly 90 minutes about the problems of the handicapped, children being raised by their grandparents and the importance of religion in their lives. Campbell said she decided on the spot to support Obama over New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton "because of the level of comfort" she felt.

"She never once said, 'Will you support him?'" said Campbell, who uses a wheelchair. "She left it open to me to talk to her about what I considered important."

In superdelegate canvassing by The Associated Press, Campbell previously had said she was undecided.
