Late yesterday Ian Carleton (DNC-VT), Vermont's State Party Chair committed to Obama. The Boston Globe on their website Boston.com' blog Political Intelligence reported the support today.
The latest is Ian Carleton, chairman of the state Democratic Party in Vermont, the only state Obama won on Tuesday.This is the 12th superdelegate to commit to Obama since March 4th to Clinton's 2. My count is Clinton-243 to Obama's 203, although MSNBC with their own research 254-215, either way it is a difference of about 40 and Obama seems to be closing about 10 a week."Vermonters overwhelmingly embraced Senator Obama's message of hope and change in our state's primary earlier this week, and so it is with great excitement and optimism that I pledge my support for Barack Obama," Carleton, a Burlington lawyer, said in a statement issued by the Obama campaign."Since the very beginning of his campaign I, along with so many Vermonters, have been deeply moved by Senator Obama's commitment to moving beyond the negative partisan rhetoric that has sadly characterized our nation's politics for so long. His leadership and vision for a more productive and decent future is exactly what this nation needs at this moment in history."
