Word on the blogs yesterday was that the Obama campaign had at least one big endorsement before Super Tuesday. People have speculated it could be Edwards or Richardson because Obama crosses paths with each of them on Friday. That said, a big momentum shot in the arm for the campaign, as they announce the endorsement of four congresspersons from February 5th states of California, Connecticut, and North Dakota.
Two Connecticut congressmen, John Larson (CT-01) and Chris Murphy (CT-05) are endorsing Obama:
