In addition to Barack Obama's campaign raising more than $40 million in March, giving him a substantial financial advantage over Democratic rival Hillary Rodham Clinton as they compete for votes heading into the April 22 Pennsylvania primary, he has also received two more important endorsements in remaining primary states that could prove helpful to his march toward the nomination.
Highly respected former Indiana congressman Lee Hamilton, the top Democrat on the 9/11 Commission, endorsed Obama on Wednesday, as did Wyoming Gov. Dave Freudenthal, a former Clinton administration appointee. This is on the heels of Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar announcing her support for Obama on Monday, and earlier high-profile endorsements by Pennsylvania Sen. Robert Casey and New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson.
Meanwhile, in North Carolina former John Edwards strategist, Joe Trippi said, "I really believe May 6 has the potential to be everything. Every day you see increased pressure on Hillary Clinton about why she's staying in, and if she could win in North Carolina it would shut down that kind of talk and open up the possibility she could get there" to the nomination."
