Mississippi Superdelegate Endorses Barack Obama

Jackson, MS – Today, Mississippi Superdelegate and Democratic National Committee Member Everett Sanders endorsed Barack Obama, citing his plan to provide affordable health care coverage to every American, improve education and his leadership on Katrina.

Mr. Sanders said, “I believe Senator Barack Obama is the best choice to lead our nation today and bring change that we can believe in here in Mississippi and across the country. He has a plan to provide affordable health care coverage to every single American and put tax cuts in the pockets of middle class families. He believes that every single child in our country deserves a world class education and has fought to make higher education more affordable in the United States Senate, increasing Pell Grants and securing better recognition for our HBCU’s and black colleges. He has a plan to help the Gulf Coast rebuild and has fought for the victims of Katrina here in Mississippi, passing legislation to investigate toxic trailers and leading the way for more funding for Katrina rebuilding. I’m proud to support Senator Obama in this campaign.”

15. Governor Eliot Spitzer. Huge prostitution rumor scandal. Breaking now. n/t

[EmilyAnne]

21. Oh no. That's pretty yucky. Why of why do these guys think they can get away with stuff like that?

You're a Governor, for christ sakes.

[Colobo]

23. Prostitution should be legal.

[EmilyAnne]

24. I agree. It doesn't make sense that it is illegal. Until it is legal, these men and women who work

like that are going to stay at risk for disease and violence. Its ridiculous.

[MadBadger]

17. certain NY governor

[Coexist]

20. oh, thanks...

I forgot he was a super!

[writes3000]

11. Spitzer is going to dominate the news for the rest of the day. Yuck. n/t

[shadowknows69]

[AtomicKitten]

6. Wonderful.

[writes3000]

7. Ching-ching, ring another one up for Obama. Two today.

I'm just waiting for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday after Mississippi.

[EmilyAnne]

12. Great news! Slowly, but surely, he's on his way to the nomination!

[Botany]

18. Great News ... now come on Mississippi

I wonder if the 50 super delegates that were going to
come out Obama last week are now coming out 1 to 2
@ a time?

[grantcart]

25. the campaign strongly denied the rumor - i think it was a misunderstanding

I think somebody in the campaign might have said something to the effect that they have identified 50 folks who are likely to endorse and Brokaw misunderstood it. They continue to pick up 1-3 every day.

[Botany]

27. Thanx

1 to 3 per day is good.

[thevoiceofreason]

19. Hell drip yes drip

[thevoiceofreason]

26. Kick for being something other than Spitzer

[catgirl]

28. Cool! (nt)

Joyce Brayboy has endorsed Barack Obama.

The Democratic superdelegate, whose day job is as a Washington, D.C.-based lobbyist, made the decision recently.

Previously, she told Dome that she would study both candidates' electability and their stances on health care and education before making a decision.

U.S. Rep. G.K. Butterfield and two other superdelegates, Everett Ward and Dannie Montgomery, are also backing Obama, while Charlotte City Councilwoman Susan Burgess backs Hillary Clinton.
