Tuesday Endorsements For Obama

In addition to the pledged delegate who switched to Obama this morning, Indiana Rep. Joe Donnelly endorsed Obama, issuing the following statement:

Today, I am pleased to announce my support for Barack Obama. At a time when too many Americans have lost faith in their government, Senator Obama can move us beyond the politics of stalemate and gridlock that has kept us from meeting the monumental challenges of our time: our dependence on foreign oil, a health care gap that leaves tens of millions uninsured, the steady deterioration of our manufacturing base, and an economy that is not working for working people.

The Democratic Party's strength comes from its core commitment to the American Dream and from a coalition that is ideologically, economically, geographically and ethnically diverse. Barack Obama will stand with working families while building that coalition so that we can change this country, and that's why he's the best choice for America.

New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin also endorsed Obama this morning, bringing Obama's net gain for the day up to 4, and it is still early in the morning.

Update: Make that 5, former Colorado governor and DNC chair Roy Romer is also endorsing Obama this morning.

Update #2: Make that 6 (and it is still morning), Anita Bonds, chair of the DC Democratic Party endorsed Obama.

Update #3: Remember when they finished counting the ballots in Ohio and Hillary lost her double-digit lead there? Well that also gained Obama two pledged delegates today. Wee! 8 delegates for Obama today, 0 for Hillary, at least until WV votes.
