Webb endorses Obama

Another endorsement for Barack Obama came this afternoon, a little by accident.

Wake County Commissioner Harold Webb, squeezed past Dome in a crowded group of young Democrats to shake hands with John Edwards.

Dome, who covered Webb back when we were WakePol, asked if he was going to endorse in the Democratic presidential primary.

"Later," he said.

We asked who he would endorse.

"Obama," he answered.

While he didn't say how much later, Dome had expected he meant more than three seconds, but the cat's out of the bag now.

Two of Webb's Democratic colleagues on the county board, Lindy Brown and Betty Lou Ward, endorsed Clinton at a speech at Wake Tech.
