Governor Baldacci Endorses Sen. Barack Obama



AUGUSTA – Governor John E. Baldacci made the following statement today after Sen. Hillary Clinton suspended her campaign as a presidential candidate.

“Today I also offer my full support to Sen. Barack Obama for President of the United States. Sen. Obama has proven himself through a competitive primary against a slate of terrific candidates. Today, the Democratic Party is united.”

“It’s been a long eight years of the Bush administration. We’ve gone from peace and prosperity to war and economic turmoil. Sen. Obama has demonstrated the leadership necessary to put us back on the right track.”

“Sen. Clinton and I have been friends for more than 15 years. She ran a strong campaign, and broke down barriers against long odds. The country is better for her efforts. Now it is time for all of us to work together to put Barack Obama in the White House.”
