By Unknown user Today at 10:47 am EST Another super delegate to Obama By Greg J. Borowski Thursday, Feb 21 2008, 08:56 AM Remember Jason Rae, the 21-year-old Marquette student by day, Demcoratci super-delegate by night? When we last talked to him, he was uncommitted. No longer. He sent this email to friends this morning. Friends-- I wanted to write to you today, before you see it in the news, to inform you that I have officially endorsed Senator Barack Obama for President of the United States. This was a difficult decision for me to make. While I had every intention of remaining neutral in the race, Tuesday's primary results showed a huge movement in Wisconsin, a movement of which I want to be a part. Back in 2004, I ran for the Democratic National Committee because I wanted to represent America's next generation of voters. Well, yesterday, that generation spoke. According to CNN exit polls, 73% of 18-to-24 year olds turned out in support of Senator Obama. That is an outstanding number. But it wasn't only young people turning out; people all over Wisconsin turned out overwhelming to support Senator Obama. I have a responsibility to listen to the voices that I am representing. I do firmly believe that we have two qualified, talented candidates seeking the nomination. However, when I see one candidate energizing a new generation like Senator Obama is, I cannot help but be impressed and inspired. As I think about who I want to lead our country and party forward, I cannot think of another candidate to do that than Senator Barack Obama. I just wanted to take a moment to share this note with you. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions, comments, or concerns. All my best to you for a wonderful day. Respectfully, Jason Filed under: Elections, president Permalink \| Mail to a friend
