Clinton superdelegate asks for Obama's autograph
During a House vote, Barack Obama, the likely Democratic nominee, strode into the chambers and spoke to a number of superdelegates, including some that already backed Clinton.
:
“I wanted to see what's going on over here,†Obama, wearing a broadsmile, told reporters. “I hear there's a lot of action on this side.â€
Hespoke to uncommitted superdelegates as well as supporters of his rivalSen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) He was also seen speaking toMajority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.), who is neutral in the race. And hetalked at length to Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D-Ohio), an uncommittedsuperdelegate.
The Democratic frontrunner spoke with Clintonsupporters Reps. John Murtha (Pa.) and Bill Pascrell (N.J.), as well asReps. Chris Van Hollen (Md.) and John Spratt (S.C.), who are bothuncommitted.
Rep. Yvette Clarke (D-N.Y.), a Clinton supporter,got Obama to sign a copy of today’s New York Daily News with theheadline: “It’s His Party.â€
Ouch! Compare that to yesterday when many decided to stay on the sidelines after being asked by Hillary to meet with her.
