BREAKING: Former (President) Clinton Campaign Manager to Endorse Obama

A big endorsement came out today, one that has to particularly sting Senator Clinton, David Wilhelm, the ex-DNC chair and campaign manager for President Clinton's 1992 presidential campaign.  

Clinton Ex- Campaign Manager Backs Obama

COLUMBUS, Ohio - The man who served as national manager of former President Clinton's 1992 campaign plans to endorse Sen. Barack Obama, an aide to Obama said Wednesday.

Wilhelm planned to tell reporters that Obama can build a coalition of Democrats, independents and Republicans needed to win the general election.

This is a big get for Senator Obama.  Not only is Wilhelm an ex-Clinton confidant, but he is also a Super Delegate as well.  On top of the devestating losses last night, this endorsement spells more bad news for Senator Clinton.  

Wilhelm is a superdelegate who was previously uncommitted in the race. His endorsement helps Obama in the race for delegates, in which he pulled ahead after Tuesday's sweeps of primaries in Virginia, Maryland and the District of Columbia. Clinton remains considerably ahead in superdelegates, which are party officials, elected officials and others who can vote however they choose at the nominating convention.

As Obama continues to dominate primaries and caucuses look for more Super Delegates to get behind his campaign.  I have very little doubt that if Obama continues to win with the sweeping coalitions we saw last night,  Super Delegates will rally around him and help settle the nomination before the convention.
