(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)

Aren't the supers supposed to vote with the will of the people? I guess he is just the Governor of OK but does not represent the will of the people of OK? The same way Kerry and Kennedy do not represent the people of their states?
I see how this works... OK should be ashamed for electing this MAN to office.
Wonderful! Thank you, governor! Now if Edwards, Gore and others would have some backbone and do the same........ this brutal-attack-so-called-campaign would END.
Are you listening?
another idiot govenor going against the wishes of the voters of his state. GO HILLARY!!!!! WERE WITH YOU ALL THE WAY TO THE CONVENTION!!!!! People are NOW realizing just who this guy and his wife are, EMPTY SUITS ALL TALK NO ACTION!!!
Thank You Gov. Brad Henry we nee more like you before the Demcratic party falls apart with clinton's negativity. The rest of the superdelgates need to do the same they do not owe the clintons anything what are they waiting for.
BEcause we all know. those people voting for hilliary are McCain supporters anyway. regardless if she is the nominee or no
This is sad when Mr.Henry is going AGAINST his own people and support the candidate that didn't win his state!
Such is the way with super delegates but the people in this state should be infuriated.
Hey math wizards:
Hilary won by 9.4%.
9.4% does not round up to 10%. She did not win with a double-digit win like everyone claimed she needed to go on.
Ignore it if you want.
Could you imagine the uproar amongst the Obamistas if a governor of a state that was won by Obama, decided to give his superdelegate vote to Hillary?
Just as one is about to give up on America, there comes the voice of God offering encouragement in the face of disappointments.
Thank You Governer Henry.

AMERICA CANNOT TRUST MRS. HILLARY CLINTON FOR JOBS!
That is really sounds good for every one who seeks real change in Washington politics,Gov.Brad endorsement is an other big step forward towards a new vision for America.
Run him out of office! He is not following the will of the people of Oklahoma!

Thank you and welcome aboard
A NO VOTE FOR MRS. HILLARY CLINTON IS NOT A YES VOTE FOR MR. JOHN McCAIN AND AMERICA WILL VOTE.
Who can America trust after Mrs. Hillary Clinton campaign tales are over?
More support for Obama. Why is CNN acting like this was the presidential election? Sure Hillary won but how?
unbelieveable – WOMEN in Oklahoma should be outrached! Another typical white guy suppressing the woman vote.
She won a 10 pts spread in Oklahoma - he has no justification! Where's the will of his people?
Amazin every time this guy gets knocked around. Somebody comes to the save his butt.
