Obama scores another Oregon superdelegate
By Lauren LafaroAnother Oregon super delegate caught the Obama bug today.
Jenny Greenleaf, the Democratic Party of Oregon’s DNC Committeewoman, today endorsed the Senator from Illinois.
Oregon has 12 super delegates; Greenleaf is the fourth to endorse Obama (Reps. Blumenhauer, Wu and DeFazio are also in Obama’s camp) while Gov. Ted Kulongoski and Rep. Darlene Hooley stand with Sen. Hillary Clinton.
Greenleaf’s Statement:
The netroots is my political home and where I got started, so I have chosen to announce my endorsement here on BlueOregon.
The voters of Oregon have spoken, and I have listened.
I will be supporting Senator Barack Obama at the Democratic National Convention in August. Senator Obama has the vision and leadership ability to move this country forward and to undo the damage done by the Bush administration. I am proud to support him in this endeavor and will do whatever I can to make sure Oregon's electoral votes are Democratic this fall.
Our Democratic Party of Oregon will be the hub for the presidential campaign in Oregon. I hope you will join me in volunteering with the DPO to turn Senator Obama into President Obama.
I have the utmost respect and admiration for Senator Hillary Clinton. She has run a great campaign and has contributed much to our national debate. She deserves our thanks for her service, her leadership and her candidacy.
