NARAL endorses Obama

I've decided that I am going to crank out as much good news as I can about Obama over the next few days. So today, NARAL (formerly the National Abortion Rights Action League) has endorsed Obama.
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.

Good for them. This is something that I have not thot of, but should be obvious - a lot of professional activists, many of whom are based in Washington, are thinking hard about healing this temporary rift between Hillary and Obama people. It's another sign that Hillary's base is already starting to move beyond her.
