Hawaii Sen. Daniel Akaka (D) on Monday became the 15th senator to endorse Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) for president.

Obama in February won the caucuses in Hawaii handily, carrying 75 percent of the vote. But Akaka’s colleague, Sen. Daniel Inouye (D), has endorsed Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.). Clinton has a total of 13 Senate endorsements. [...]

Akaka joined several other superdelegates in endorsing Obama. Rep. Tom Allen (D-Maine), Hawaii superdelegate Dolly Strazar and Idaho state Democratic Party Chairman Keith Roark also endorsed Obama on Monday.
