PROVIDENCE, R.I.—Attorney General Patrick Lynch endorsed Sen. Barack Obama for president on Saturday, making him the second prominent Rhode Island Democrat to pick Obama over his rival, Sen. Hillary Clinton."He's the greatest hope for our country," Lynch said in a phone interview Saturday, just over three weeks before Rhode Island's March 4 primary."The spirit, energy, intelligence, vision and inspiration that he offers is what our country needs right now," he said.Lynch joins Rep. Patrick Kennedy as the two key Obama supporters in Rhode Island. Lynch's announcement is particularly significant because he is a superdelegate with an automatic vote at the party's national convention this summer. Since the race between Clinton and Obama is so close, superdelegates could become critical at the convention.
