NARAL Endorses Obama -- Hillary Spokesperson Is "Surprised"
Obama scores the endorsement of NARAL, a key get by any measure.
Here's the key graf, from the Associated Press story, which explains the thinking of NARAL board members...
They said the board decided to back Obama over Clinton because he is overwhelmingly favored to win the nomination and to heal what the organization viewed as a growing rift between black voters and white female activists that the protracted Clinton-Obama contest may have caused.
Which confirms Ben Smith's observation that this endorsement is another "sign of the party coalescing" around Obama.
On the Hillary conference call, Hillary spokesperson was asked about NARAL's choice. "Surprised, would be my response," Wolfson said. "I think Senator Clinton's leadership on advocacy and choice issues is second to none."
