Endorsement Wars

Obama picked up a couple of endorsements today: Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) and Sen. Byron Dorgan (D-ND).

"Something is happening in America, something some of us did not see coming," said Lewis, as reported by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Lewis had previously been a Clinton supporter, and commented to the AJC about why he originally supported her. "I did it because I felt I had to support Mrs. Clinton because of our friendship," Lewis said. "But also I thought she was ready to lead."

Dorgan announced his support of Obama early this afternoon on a conference call with reporters. North Dakota's caucuses were held February 5.
