The Associated Press | 04/28/2008ALBUQUERQUE—Sen. Jeff Bingaman endorsed Barack Obama for president Monday, joining Gov. Bill Richardson and putting another of New Mexico's superdelegates in camp with the Illinois senator.
"I am announcing my support for Barack Obama for president and declaring my intention to vote for him at the Democratic convention," Bingaman said in a news release issued by the Obama campaign.
Bingaman, D-N.M., said he believes Obama is a better choice than Hillary Clinton on issues such as the Iraq war, health care and improving energy independence.
Bingaman, re-elected to a fifth senate term in 2006, said the United States needs a leader who can rise above partisanship and find common ground. He said it is imperative to "move the country in a dramatically new direction."
