Obama Campaign Conference Call with Big Name Supporters

Obama Campaign supporters Senators John Kerry, Amy Klobuchar, Claire McCaskill, and Governors Janet Napolitano and Deval Patrick in addition to campaign manager David Plouffe were on a conference call today to discuss the State of the Race.

Kerry was the first to speak and called last night’s victories a “giant and decisive stride” toward the nomination. McCaskill thought last night was “extraordinary” in many ways and believed that Obama squared off the electability argument and gained the trust of the voters. Now that there are more superdelegates outstanding than pledged delegates, Napolitano believes that now is the time for the superdelegates to begin bringing this process to a close and to begin announcing their preference. Klobuchar finished with “the heart of the heartland is with Barack Obama.”
