Obama gets more CA superdelegate support
By Alex IsenstadtCrystal Strait, a superdelegate and Political Action Director for the California Democratic Party who also serves as a board member for the Young Democrats of America, has thrown her support to Barack Obama.
“Barack Obama has shown a real commitment to young voters in his campaign and in response young people have overwhelmingly voted and caucused for Obama in these primary contests. We know that if a young person votes three times in a row for a Party, they become a Party voter for life. We know that because of high youth turnout in 2004 and 2006, 2008 is the third and critical election for young voters. And that's why I know I want to pledge my delegate vote to Barack Obama,” Strait said Sunday.
Strait’s endorsement of Obama comes just days after the frontrunner for the Democratic presidential nomination won the support of California superdelegates Ed Espinoza, Vernon Watkins, and Inola Henry.
