Charlie Wilson Refuses to Endorse Obama...
I found this article while surfing around CQ Politics and I just had to ask my fellow Ohioans their opinion on this. My congressman is Zack Space and although I could not find verification on this I had heard that he has endorsed Obama. So I am asking people what they think of Charlie Wilson. I am a little disappointed in him for not endorsing Obama right away, in fact he said...

"No, I won’t be endorsing anyone,” agreed fellow Blue Dog Charlie Wilson of Ohio.

I know Charlie has nothing to worry about in the election coming up so I am lost as to why he refuses to help out Obama in a district that could help swing the election in ohio....

1. Wilson did endorse Obama - your info is old... (relatively)
from buckeyestateblog:

Rep. Charlie Wilson has now endorsed Barack Obama. It doesn't really mean much now, but it's still good for party unity.


"It's an honor to pledge my full support to Senator Barack Obama as the Democratic nominee for President of the United States.

This will be an historic election and its outcome will set a new course for this country. I look forward to working with Senator Obama on the issues that directly effect the residents of the Ohio Valley every day; they're hardworking people who deserve much more support then they got from the Bush Administration. Senator Obama has embraced a progressive coal policy and I'm eager to show him the role the Ohio River Valley can play as an energy corridor - producing clean coal technology, creating jobs and powering the country.


Zack Space endorsed Obama too.

2. Cool Thanks OhioBlue
I normally don't read the buckeyestate blog because I try to get more info from around the nation. Its good to see that Wilson did endorse Obama....I was wondering why he hadn't yet.

:hi:

3. It looks like he was waiting for Hillary to concede.
Maybe b/c his district voted for Hill in the Primary, maybe he is opposed to superdelegate thing... I don't know.
