Former Governor and current Richmond Mayor, L. Douglas Wilder joins an ever increasing number of Democratic leaders around Virginia supporting <a href="http://barackobama.com">Barack Obama for President</a>, his announcement follows:
“The outcome of next year’s presidential election is of tremendous importance to the long-term future of our country, at home and abroad. Our country is in desperate need of a new direction, new ideas, and new solutions to resolve the circumstances that the U.S. has shouldered in recent years. The situation our country faces calls for a new direction, new thinking and change that we can believe in.
“Our country needs a leader who can unite and inspire our citizens, a leader who can see things with a fresh eye, and a leader who can move beyond the parochialisms of the past. We need a leader whom people want to rally around with the confidence that positive change is on the way.
“Senator Barack Obama brings forth all of these qualities. I am tremendously impressed with him and have said many favorable things about him in the past. I formally and officially endorse him for the Presidency and will campaign for him across the country to the fullest extent possible that my schedule will allow.”
