Casey to Endorse Obama in Pennsylvania more similar news »
Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA) plans to endorse Sen. Barack Obama for president today in Pittsburgh, "sending a message both to the state's primary voters and to undecided superdelegates who might decide the close race for the Democratic presidential nomination," according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.
"The endorsement comes as something of a surprise. Casey, a deliberative and cautious politician, had been adamant about remaining neutral until after the April 22 primary. He had said he wanted to help unify the party after the intensifying fight between Obama and Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton."
"The endorsement also comes at a crucial time for Obama, who has been trailing Clinton in Pennsylvania polls by double-digit margins but who also has bought at least $1.6 million worth of television advertising statewide in the last week, more than double Clinton's expenditure."

weighing in. I think that there's 800 of them and 450 of them have
already said who they're for. I'd like the other 350 to say who they're
at some point between now and the first of July so we don't have to

Edwards Donors Favor Obama more similar news »
According to analysis by CQ MoneyLine, John Edwards' former donors broke toward Sen. Barack Obama by a 2-to-1 margin over Sen. Hillary Clinton in February, the first full month after Edwards dropped out of the Democratic presidential nomination fight.
The analysis "identified 287 former Edwards contributors who donated to Obama for the first time during his record-breaking $56 million month. Collectively, though, the former Edwards donors amounted to a small fraction of Obama's haul, sending in $200,000. In comparison, Clinton banked $114,000 from 138 Edwards donors who had not given to her in past months as she piled up a personal-best $35 million in February."

IA Poll: Obama Opens Wide Lead in North Carolina more similar news »
A new InsiderAdvantage poll in North Carolina finds Sen. Barack Obama leading Sen. Hillary Clinton, 49% to 34%.
Key finding: "A modest but significant portion of whites are
drifting from Clinton back into the 'undecided' column."
Said pollster Matt Towery: "If she loses badly here, regardless of any modest gains in
the national delegate count, her candidacy may be done unless her
primary victories in Florida and Michigan somehow end up being seated
at the national nominating convention."
