VT Dem chair Carleton endorses Obama

Vermont Democratic Party Chair Ian Carleton, a superdelegate, has endorsed Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama.

“Vermonters overwhelmingly embraced Senator Obama’s message of hope and change in our State’s primary earlier this week, and so it is with great excitement and optimism that I pledge my support for Barack Obama,” said Carleton. “Since the very beginning of his campaign I, along with so many Vermonters, have been deeply moved by Senator Obama’s commitment to moving beyond the negative partisan rhetoric that has sadly characterized our nation’s politics for so long. His leadership and vision for a more productive and decent future is exactly what this nation needs at this moment in history.”
