Here is what is reported in Pittsburgh local paper: Sen. Casey to endorse Obama Friday, March 28, 2008 By Devlin Barrett, The Associated Press NEW YORK -- Pennsylvania Sen. Bob Casey plans to endorse Democrat Barack Obama today, a move that could carry special weight with critical Catholic voters in the Keystone State's upcoming primary and with superdelegates. Campaign spokeswoman Jen Psaki said the endorsement will come as Obama begins a six-day campaign swing through Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania's April 22 primary is the next big prize in the drawn-out nomination battle between Obama, the Illinois senator, and Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York. Clinton holds a double-digit lead in recent polls of Pennsylvania voters. Casey is a first-term senator and the son of a popular former governor of the state. Casey is Catholic and, like his father, is known for his opposition to abortion. His support could help Obama make inroads among Catholic voters. Catholics constitute more than 30 percent of the state. Casey is scheduled to join Obama in Pittsburgh Friday and campaign with him as Obama travels by across Pennsylvania by bus. Casey served two four-year terms as state auditor general. He lost a 2002 gubernatorial bid in the Democratic primary to Gov. Ed Rendell, who is backing Clinton. Casey was elected to the Senate in 2006, defeating conservative GOP incumbent Rick Santorum. Copyright 2008 Associated Press. All rights reserved.
