Obama Gets New Wave of Endorsements
"Slowly but steadily, a string of Democratic Party figures is taking Barack Obama's side in the presidential nominating race and raising the pressure on Hillary Clinton to give up," the reports.
Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) "is expected to endorse Sen. Obama Monday, according to a Democrat familiar with her plans. Meanwhile, North Carolina's seven Democratic House members are poised to endorse Sen. Obama as a group -- just one has so far -- before that state's May 6 primary, several Democrats say."
"Helping to drive the endorsements is a fear that the Obama-Clinton contest has grown toxic and threatens the Democratic Party's chances against Republican John McCain in the fall."
Update: The reports Obama endorsements by North Carolina Democrats are coming -- but that it's not likely to be the full seven in the congressional delegation.
