Wyoming Gov. Dave Freudenthal says he will support Barack Obama for president.
Former President Clinton named Freudenthal U.S. attorney for Wyoming in 1994, and Freudenthal held that job until 2001. Freudenthal was elected governor in 2002 and re-elected in 2006.
Freudenthal said Wednesday he was impressed by the large, enthusiastic crowds that turned out when Obama visited Wyoming ahead of the state's caucuses last month. Freudenthal also said Obama struck him as "incredibly smart" and someone who gave honest answers instead of scripted responses.
The governor also said Obama gave him an honest answer about putting the Wyoming Range in western Wyoming off-limits to oil and gas drilling, something Freudenthal would like to see the U.S. Senate approve.
Freudenthal is a super delegate and this may be a start of things to come in the super delegate game.
Land of Lincolner picks up the backing of superdelegate Dave Freudenthal. "The negativity, partisanship and lack of purpose that characterize our national debate and government are crippling this country."
In other words, Governor Freudenthal wants this primary over.
With Clinton losing ground per polls in Pennsylvania and cash strapped, many Democrats are at the point of ending this. As for Clinton, she really need this primary now not later. If the polling holds up it could be a close race for Clinton, but I caution, I still expect Hillary Clinton to win Pennsylvania.
Hillary Clinton needs an exit strategy to get out of this race. That is obvious. But what's happening is this, Democrats are tired of this race being drawn out. No one wants a delegate fight in Denver. And as my sister told me, call me when Hillary is out and we can focus on McCain.
That really is the end game, folks.
We can't afford this to continue on, it needs to end.
Expect more supers to follow suit.
