Barack Obama had a good day yesterday. First he snagged the endorsement of the the U.S.’s foremost pro-choice organization, NARAL.
“There are few more tireless defenders of women’s rights in this country than NARAL Pro-Choice America and I’m proud to accept their support,” Sen. Obama said. “For decades, they have worked in the courthouse, in the legislature, and in the streets to make sure that women have the right to choose. This is a fundamental civil right that I’ve fought to protect in Illinois and in Washington, that’s being threatened by Senator McCain, and that I’ll be fighting in the months ahead to make secure today, tomorrow, and always.”
Then, former Democratic Candidate John Edwards threw his support behind Obama at an event in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
In what felt like the longest debate ever, the three top contenders among the Democrats debated last night in South Carolina. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama went back and forth on each other with John Edwards struggling to get a word in edgewise.
