(CNN) – Oklahoma Gov. Brad Henry endorsed Barack Obama's White House bid Wednesday.
"Senator Obama is uniquely positioned to unite our nation and move beyond the divisiveness and partisan skirmishes that too often characterize politics as usual in Washington,” Henry told The Oklahoman.
Henry, currently serving his second term, had said he did not plan to endorse until the party's convention in late August.
Hillary Clinton won Oklahoma on February 5 with 55 percent of the vote.
Henry is one of the party's 720 superdelegates who will ultimately decide the party's nominee. About 300 remain undecided. (Related: Clinton picks up superdelegate)

. . . I wonder what story Hillary is going to make up to try and fool
Oklahoma voters? Bill was a midnight cowboy?
Obama 08.
thank you, gov henry welcome aboard
What happen to supporting the will of the people in their states?
Thank you.
What have the Clintons done while Bill was in office, that none of the respectable Democratic Party insiders back Hillary?
Hopefully The Super Delegates can SHUT HILLARY'S pie hole! She thinks her liitle win in PA is going to matter in the end! Hell to the no!
Thank you Gov. Brad for taking the high road this country needs it right about now. We have been torn down enough.

--------
All states Obama won to securehi lead that the Republicans win in a general election no matter what. Bank on it.
Ohio
PA
Florida
-------–
Swing states that Democrats MUST win 2 out of 3 of in the general election to have a shot at the White House... Also states Obama has proven he can't win come November.
Be careful what you wish for, kids. This guy is winning the nomination on smoke and mirrors (causcuses in red states) and has no chance come November.
Tyupical Democrat – wishy washy.
Obama kept getting endorsements, but that's not helping him winning the recent big primaries. What's wrong with his campaign?
Oklahoma Democrats voted for Hillary. Way to represent the wishes of your state, Governor.
we need more Supers to come out and send Hillary a clear message!
Good for Senator Obama receiving another delegate endorsement. I'm sure there will be more to come out over time for Senator Obama. They understand the math.
He smells the big money to be made with the interstate 35 deal.10 lane highway from Canada to Mexico.
This "winA" in PA was too little too late for Huckabee, I mean Hillary. The superdelegates will put the final nail in her coffin!
She wins the state and he backs Obama what a schmuck. Well a state in NE that houses Kerry and Kennedy is up 15 for McCain if Obama is the nominee. I guess what goes around comes around. LOL
The Super Delegates need to VOTE NOW!
Superdelegates please help close this thing before Hillary and Bill distroy the democratic party.
So... a Super Delegate can/should go againts the popular vote????
Sounds like a good argument for Clinton later down the road!
THANKS! GOOD CHOICE
OBAMA WILL WIN INDIANA AND NORTH CAROLINA
GO OBAMA !!!
Why Brad Henry–When we (Okalhomans) voted for Hillary?
Self interests most certainly, like some of the others who have gone against their constituents.
Here you go Hillary....talk about "RED" status turning to Obama while you need Republican's help to win "BLUE" states..:)
