Bill Burton Snags His Mother-in-law's Endorsement...

I couldn't help but think "Awwww...." when this landed in my emailbox a few minutes ago from Obama press secretary Bill Burton...

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today Congresswoman Lois Capps (CA-23), Co-Chair of the Congressional Caucus for Women's Issues and Chair of the Democratic Women's Working Group, released the following statement regarding her endorsement of Senator Barack Obama for President:

"Today, I am announcing my endorsement of Barack Obama for President.

The announcement goes on to quote Capps:

"This wasn't an easy decision for me. Democrats were blessed this year with many talented and capable candidates, and I believe both Sen. Clinton and Sen. Obama would make fine presidents. But Sen. Obama's proven judgment, his hopeful vision for America, and his unmatched ability to motivate millions of Americans eager for change made the choice for me."

But I bet it makes the next big family get-together a lot easier...
