Politics Oregon Secretary of State & Superdelegate Bill Bradbury Goes for Obama

Posted by Amy J. Ruiz on Tue, Jun 3 at 7:00 PM

The suspense has been killing us: This went out in the afternoon, but was embargoed until all the polls closed around the country. Which is now.

Oregon Secretary of State and Democratic superdelegate Bill Bradbury Tuesday endorsed Sen. Barack Obama for president.

Bradbury said he admires and respects Sen. Hillary Clinton but feels Obama would be the best choice for the Democrats in 2008.

“This has been a difficult personal decision for me because of my friendship and admiration for both Hillary and Bill Clinton,” Bradbury said. “We have been fortunate to have two enormously skilled Democratic candidates this year. Sen. Clinton has run a tremendous campaign and I am confident she will remain a leader in the U.S. Senate and the country.”

“Our challenge now is to defeat the Republicans in the fall and that will accomplish us working together. Sen. Obama has the vision and commitment to bring people together. This country needs a lot of repair and Sen. Obama will be well-suited to accomplish that.”

Bradbury was one of two superdelegates appointed by Democratic secretaries of state from around the country.

In its May 20 primary, nearly 59 percent of Oregon voters cast their ballots for Obama.

...and that will accomplish us working together...

What does that mean, exactly?

After canceling his September performance in Portland, Neil Diamond is back and ready to blow us out of our seats! Fine, maybe he won’t “blow us,” but I bet he’ll come to the stage locked and loaded with hits such as “Cherry, Cherry,” “Sweet Caroline,” and “I’m a Believer.” And does anybody remember “Heartlight”? I do! WSH
