"Kentucky Rep. Chandler and Iowa DNC member Machaceck announce support for the Land of Lincolner.
Chandler provides key support in Kentucky, where Obama is relatively weak. Its primary is May 20.
Machaceck is the fifth of Iowa’s 12 superdelegates to endorse Obama; Clinton has three."

2. Thank you, Richard Machacek! Thanks, powergirl~

"Winthrop farmer Richard Machacek, an Iowa superdelegate, said today he is pledging to support Illinois Sen. Barack Obama.

Machacek, a member of the Democratic National Committee, had been uncommitted. He said he saw little difference between Obama and New York Sen. Hillary Clinton on policy positions or ability.


Machacek, a Buchanan County Democrat also on the party's state central committee, said Obama's performance at Saturday's Democratic district conventions in Iowa tipped the balance in his favor.

Obama netted 16 of the 29 national convention delegates at stake in the state's five congressional districts, while Clinton received nine. Former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards received four delegates, having retained sufficient support in some districts despite leaving the race in January."

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) - U.S. Rep. Ben Chandler, heir to a famous Kentucky political name, endorsed fellow Democrat Barack Obama on Tuesday, likening it to his grandfather's support of John Kennedy a generation ago.


Chandler, who represents a central Kentucky district featuring a mix of farms and small towns as well as Lexington, said he was impressed with Obama's message of "change and hope" and his "quiet strength."


"Now is not the time to be timid," Chandler told a group of Obama supporters in a downtown park. "It is instead a time to be bold, and to support the candidate who has the ability to transform our future."

9. I'm from Iowa...

...and as far as I knew, Mahacheck was a real mystery--because he had stated that both
Obama and Clinton were both very good candidates. He genuinely liked them both.

Someone else from Iowa, may have more detailed information--but that is what I read about
him.

He was a true fence straddler.

This is really wonderful news.

Someone who was totally uncommitted has ended up in Obama's court.

10. And I assume he is not a latte drinkin', volvo drivin', elitist

Like the rest of us Obama supporters. I'm just guessing on that one. :evilgrin:

[CoffeeCat]

14. No, he's not...

...He's a Folger's drinkin, tractor-driving farmer.

Every politician in the world was trying to crack into the psyche of
this rare breed.

Yeah Obama! :)
