New Mexico Superdelegate Announces for Obama

Today, New Mexico Party Chair Brian Colon declared his support for Senator Obama. This decision is a boost to the Obama campaign for several reasons:

1) Colon is yet another superdelegate backing Obama

2) Colon is linking his support to Obama as a result of his distress over the "negative tone of the campaign"--an echo to the Joe Andrew announcement a few days ago

3) Colon's decision could provide a preview of what recently appointed add-on delegate, Laurie Weahkee.

If you recall, the Clinton campaign argued vociferously against this appointment, even though she was appointed as an 'undeclared' add-on delegate. Maybe the Clinton camp knew how Colon was leaning and that Weahkee was a stealth Obama delegate?
