Doyle endorses Obama

By Alex Roarty, PolitickerPA.com Reporter

One uncommitted superdelegate down, two more to go.

U.S. Rep. Mike Doyle (D-Forrest Hills) announced this afternoon he will endorse U.S. Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) for president -- a day after Obama clinched enough delegates to secure the nomination.

U.S. Reps. Jason Altmire (D-Wexford) and Tim Holden (D-St. Clair) still remain uncommitted.

Obama has clearly clinched the nomination even if Clinton has not conceded, Doyle said.

"There's no question about it,"  Doyle told PolitickerPa.

State party backing Obama; other uncommitted delegates still on fence

The party's stance hasn't changed, said spokesman Abe Amoros. It has continually said whoever emerges victorious would receive the party's full support, Amoros said.

Asked if the senator from Illinois had won, Amoros said, "That's apparent to probably everyone that's breathing on the planet at this point."
