Virginia Superdelegate for Obama; Delegate Countdown - 45 To Go

Chicago, IL – Today, Virginia superdelegate Democratic National Committee Member Jerome Wiley Segovia endorsed Barack Obama. Obama is now 45 delegates from the nomination.

Wiley Segovia said...

While sharing the valuable international experience of spending a portion of my formative years overseas in a similar fashion as Senator Obama, I am excited to add my support to a campaign that has clearly demonstrated a commitment to an inclusive national field campaign, has shattered all previous campaign fundraising records, and is supportive of alternative sources of energy to begin to solve our energy crisis. I believe that with Senator Obama's leadership the DNC and all Democratic party groups and programs can continue building upon the amazing progress already begun by Governor Dean and his team.
