Hodes Endorses Obama
Union Leader | July 26, 2007
CONCORD, N.H. (AP) -- Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama today named New Hampshire U.S. Rep. Paul Hodes as one of his national campaign co-chairs, as Hodes endorsed Obama in the presidential primary.
The first-term congressman made the announcement during a rally this morning in downtown Concord, with Obama at his side. He said Obama is the catalyst to complete what voters started last year when Democrats took control of Congress.
The endorsement is a major coup for the campaign, who has seen other top-tier Democrats endorse rival Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and former Sen. John Edwards. Hodes is the first member of the state's four-member congressional delegation to register an official endorsement in the primary races.
