Rep. Rick Boucher Endorsing Barack Obama Today

[Renew Deal]

Another day, another big endorsement for Barack Obama here in Virginia. Tim Kaine...Bobby Scott...Doug Wilder...Don Beyer...now Rep. Rick Boucher (D-9th) (according to Tim Craig of the Washington Post):

The 9th congressional district spans all or part of 22 counties, including heavily-unionized areas near the Kentucky border and Republican-leaning communities in southern Virginia.
Until now, it was widely believed that Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards had an advantage in Southwest Virginia because he has been endorsed by the United Mine Workers of America.

But Boucher is the latest in a series of elected officials in Virginia to get behind Obama's candidacy.

Excellent news, thanks to Rick Boucher for this endorsement!

1. All these people see the new and unique possibilites with Obama.

2. Yes!!

I really do think that he's the best possible candidate out of the three. I did like Edwards and I wouldn't mind if he ran with Obama as VP but I don't know if he wants to do that again.

That makes me happy.
