Gov. Napolitano to endorse Obama in Las Vegas

Many sources are now confirming that Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano will travel to Las Vegas today to announce her support of Sen. Barack Obama together with the candidate.

For those who wonder about the importance of endorsements, they can sometimes act as one of many factors in voter's decisions to support a candidate.

Maybe just as important, endorsements can help with fundraising, getting new volunteers and additional endorsements and in boosting the morale of a candidate's troops. They help create the appearance and/or reality of momentum at least for a brief period of time.

An endorsement from a governor is generally a good thing as it acts as a vote of confidence in one's leadership ability from the chief executive of a state.

Buzz: Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano to endorse Obama?

Some sources are reporting that Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano may announce her endorsement as early as tomorrow and that it looks more likely she will endorse Sen. Barack Obama according to the political blogs. That would be yet another superdelegate for the Illinois senator.

"And right now that buzz, from Tucson to Phoenix, is pointing heavily toward Obama rather than his archrival Hillary Clinton."
