2 Superdelegates Declare for Obama in New Jersey !


"Senator Barack Obama won the backing of two additional superdelegates from New Jersey on Wednesday, including one who had declared for his opponent in the Democratic presidential race, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton.

State Senator Dana L. Redd of Camden, who had backed Mrs. Clinton, said she switched because Mr. Obama’s growing support had convinced her that Mr. Obama was the best choice to win the general election and lead effectively as president.

Donald Norcross, a labor leader and co-chairman of the powerful Camden County Democratic organization, who had been uncommitted, said that Mr. Obama’s strong campaign and ability to attract voters from a wide array of demographic groups indicated that he could assemble the kind of coalition needed to change the tone in Washington."
