BREAKING NEWS: Senator Rockefeller endorses Obama

Obama picked up his 33rd super-delegate since February 5th's Super Tuesday when West Virginia's junior Senator (D) Jay Rockefeller publicly endorsed Barack Obama, (MSNBC has the count 255 to 201 for Clinton as of 02/27, that did include Dodd, ND's Pfenning and now WV's Rockefeller). The Hill.com reported:

Rockefeller, chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said Obama's position on the Iraq war in 2002 was partially behind his decision to support the Illinois senator.

“The indisputable fact is Barack Obama was right about Iraq when many of us were wrong," Rockefeller said in a statement. "It was a tough call and the single greatest national security question, and mistake, of our time."

Rockefeller's endorsement comes just after the Clinton campaign released one of the most powerful ads of the cycle. Entitled "Children," the Clinton ad tells viewers their children are safe and asleep at 3 a.m. when a phone rings in the White House.

"Something’s happening in the world," the ad says. "Your vote will decide who answers that call.”

The ad touched off a furious debate between the two camps that included numerous conference calls with reporters throughout the day. Both campaigns argued strenuously that their candidate is better suited to handle international incidents.
