Klobuchar Endorses Obama

The latest news from the Wall Street Journal and the Star Tribune indicates that freshman Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) endorsed presidential candidate Barack Obama last night.

"My endorsement reflects both Barack's strong support in my state and my own independent judgment about his abilities," explained Klobuchar, likening the Illinois Democrat to Minnesota's first Vice President, Hubert Humphrey.

According to the New York Times superdelegate tracker, the senator's endorsement of Obama leaves only two Minnesota superdelegates uncommitted: Collin Peterson, the representative from the state's 7th Congressional district; and Nancy Larson, a state party official.
