Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano will endorse Sen. Barack Obama's presidential campaign today, according to two sources familiar with the decision.
Napolitano's endorsement has literal and symbolic significance. As a popular western state governor, she could prove as an effective surrogate for Obama in Nevada's Jan. 19 caucuses.
Napolitano is also one of a handful of female governors in the country, and her decision to go with Obama could undercut Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's attempts to unify female elected officials behind her candidacy.

Arizona has trationally gone for the GOP presidential candidate in past general elections, but it is increasingly becoming a swing state, due at least in part to the large Latino population.

Yes Senator Obama is really a busy man. He is speaking out for change and collecting all the support. Even helping out Africa. Yes Kerry and Arnie are waiting to give Obama direction. As all that's happening Hillary is setting out a plan to repair our US economy, Military, environment and Global Warming. I guess we can get by on Hope and Change without a plan. As millions of Americans lose their homes they can wait to see if Senator Obama can get a plan. Maybe Kerry can give a plan for Obama. Maybe Kerry can give a plan for the Military. We know Senator Obama is already got a plan for Africa's problems as he sent a tape. Good news for the suffering people of Illinois you still have one Senator working for you Senator Durbin.
Hillary seems to have laid out plans and gone to vote for bills that support her State of New York. But of course Americans aren't interested in experience or qualifications right now. We show the Stock Market fall yet again, we see the prices of food go up yet again and of course the high price of gas, but we don't need someone like Hillary who has a plan to repair those things we need a President who can give a great speech of Hope and Change.
