John Lynch (D-Hopkinton) officially endorsed Barack Obama's presidential campaign today on the same stage where Hillary Clinton and Obama were to appear.

"Please join Susan and me as we work tirelessly to elect Barack Obama the next president of the United States," Lynch said.

Lynch's wife, Susan Lynch, endorsed Hillary Clinton during the New Hampshire primary.

"Are you ready for change in Washington? Do you want a president who will end the partisan bickering?" Lynch asked.

During McCain's visit to New Hampshire, Lynch called McCain aboard the Straight Talk Express to welcome the Arizona Senator to the Granite State and wish him luck on the campaign.
