Austin Mayor Dives Into Obama Camp
 Austin Chronicle Austin Mayor Will Wynn wades in |
Austin Mayor Will Wynn (possibly the best political name ever) hopes Barack Obama will win the Democratic nomination. The campaign announced the Mayor's endorsement this morning. Wynn - who's known nationally for his green-ness (now we're just making up words) - says he likes Obama's thinking on energy and the environment.
“For too long, we’ve allowed old divisions to hold us back,” Wynn said. “Recently I’ve had conversations about energy policy with presidential candidates from both parties, and I believe Senator Obama is the only person who can move us forward on this critical issue.
“Barack Obama gets it. He offers a commitment to confront our energy challenges in ways that will unite our country, help our economy flourish and protect our planet and national security for the next generation and beyond.”
