Obama Picks up Endorsement of Elected Official

Wednesday February 27th, presidential hopeful Barack Obama picked up an endorsement from Ohio’s State Treasurer that could serve to propel him to the tie he is already in with Senator Hillary Clinton. The treasurer’s name is Cordray or something like that. At a rally for Senator Obama on Ohio State University’s campus, the State Treasurer spoke for a few minutes before everyone realized that it was going to be a while before Senator Obama would begin speaking and lost interest. In that time Mr. Cordray publicly endorsed Mr. Obama for president. He also took a few moments to explain to the assembled voters and Obama supporters that the office of State Treasurer is an elected office in Ohio. That was met with utter disbelief by a crowd that had little or no recollection of ever having voted in a Treasurer’s election. Mr. Obama is expected to ride the “Cordray Bump” to the top of a statistical dead-heat with Senator Clinton just ahead of the March 4th primary.
