Rep. Rick Larson endorses Obama

[Upton]

WASHINGTON -- Rep. Rick Larsen said Thursday that he is endorsing Barack Obama for president.

Larsen, a four-term Democrat who represents Everett, Bellingham and other areas north of Seattle, said Obama was "the best candidate to turn our best hopes for a better future into reality."

Obama's performance this week in primaries in North Carolina and Indiana show "he can take a pounding and come back strong to deliver his message of hope and change. He is tough as nails," Larsen said.

Larsen joins at least four other Washington "superdelegates" who have endorsed the Illinois senator: Gov. Chris Gregoire; Reps. Adam Smith and Brian Baird, his state chairman; and Pat Notter, a member of the Democratic National Committee.

Hillary Clinton has the support of five of the state's superdelegates, including Sens. Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell, Reps. Norm Dicks and Jay Inslee, and King County Executive Ron Sims.

Rep. Jim McDermott remains uncommitted

That's good news, but what's with Murray, Cantwell, Dicks, Inslee, and Sims? Isn't it about time they got on board and supported our party's nominee?
