Sen. Bob Casey, D-Pa., today endorsed fellow Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois for the Democratic presidential nomination. Casey made the announcment in a speech in Pittsburgh. The state’s primary is weeks away.
“This campaign is a chance for America to chart a new course, to go down a different path” that is about “healing” and “a new kind of politics,” Casey said, adding that Obama is the only candidate who can lead the nation down that path.
