Whitney Tilson's Blog on Barack Obama's Presidential Candidacy

I've been a supporter of Barack Obama since I first heard him speak in June 2004 -- that very night, I emailed my friends and family that I'd met the first black President. For more on my thoughts on Obama and why I'm supporting him, see www.tilsonfunds.com/Personal/Obama. Now that he's running, I'll be following his campaign closely and will post articles of interest and my commentary on this blog. If you want to be on my Obama email list, simply email me at WTilson@tilsonfunds.com.

Bam! Hil takes hit

Hopefully Cory and Perkins are the beginning of a trend.

A Harlem state senator became the first of New York's Democratic officials to break ranks with Sen. Hillary Clinton yesterday and endorse her presidential rival, Sen. Barack Obama.

State Sen. Bill Perkins (D-Harlem) told the Daily News that he will formally announce his support for Obama tonight, and some believe it could encourage other New York Dems to defect.
