Washington State Governor Chris Gregoire endorsed Sen. Barack Obama for the Democratic nomination for president Friday, the day before Washingtonians go to caucuses to make their voices heard in one of the closest races for the White House in recent memory.Gregoire said "Barack Obama has a unique ability to reach across all the artificial divides and divisions to move our nation forward...we need a leader who will unite us. Barack Obama is that kind of leader."
Gregoire planned to join Obama in a major campaign rally at Seattle's KeyArena on Friday. "I was inspired to pursue a career in public service by John F. Kennedy. His presence heralded the arrival of a new generations to lead our nation. Like President Kennedy, Barack Obama is inspiring a new generation of young people to get involved. If elected, I believe he will lead us all -- young and old, 'blue and red' -- to create a positive change in our communities, this nation and the world."
