Democratic Rep. Tom Allen announced this morning that he is supporting Barack Obama for president. "I have been friends for a very long time with former President Clinton and Sen. Clinton. I respect their service to our nation," Allen said in a written statement. He added that "most of the primary voters across the nation have now spoken. It is time to bring a graceful end to the primary campaign. We now need to unify the Democratic party and focus on electing Sen. Obama and a working majority in the United States Senate."
Allen is challenging Sen. Susan Collins in a hotly contested Senate race.
