More great news from the state where Mark Warner and I grew up, Connecticut.

U.S. Rep. Rosa L. DeLauro, whose job before Congress was helping to elect Democratic women as the director of the influential feminist group EMILY's List, is endorsing Barack Obama over Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Great news.  By the way, I thought this was fascinating:

DeLauro is a former chief of staff to Sen. Christopher J. Dodd, who has yet to say if he will endorse a candidate or stay neutral. He canceled a press conference scheduled for Friday afternoon at a restaurant in Hartford, where he was expected to announce neutrality.

Dodd's staff said weather delayed him, but the senator made it to the restaurant for a reunion with key supporters of his presidential campaign.

Could a Chris Dodd endorsement of Barack Obama be on the horizon?  We'll see, but that would be shweeeeet! :)
