In this, the second day since Obama's victory against Hillary, we can be sure more endorsements will come. I'll keep updating them here.
First, David Bonior, former Edwards '08 campaign manager and former Michigan congressman has endorsed Obama, citing Obama's positive tone, his message of change, and his firm stance against taking money from federal lobbyists.
For the second one today we have Montana superdelegate and rancher Jean Lemire Dahlman, who made a few important points about Obama:
There's no 'white working voter' problem for Barack here. Yesterday, I was at the post office and I asked a retired welder - a union guy - if he was going to Billings tomorrow to see Bill [Clinton] and he said he didn't think he should since he's going to vote for Barack. And another guy - a young electrician - told me that he's supporting Barack and working hard for him. The people I see on the street are all white and they have no problem voting for a man whose father is black. It's what he stands for - he's authentic, he isn't pandering and he's telling us the truth - that's why people here are voting for him and that's why he'll win Montana.Bam! Way to go Jean!
[...]
I care about health care insurance, the economy, and the war in Iraq and I also want a person who is unafraid to go against the grain, even when it's unpopular. I don't give a dime about [Sen. Clinton] gas roll-back plan. It's not going to do us any good in the long run and when Obama came out against that - that's what I'm looking for. Nonsense issues like the gas roll-back or wearing an American flag pin on your lapel. He [Barack] keeps tells the people the truth.
Third for the day, North Carolina Rep. Brad Miller has endorsed Obama.
