Rahm Emanuel endorses Obama... finally!

GObama!

Rep. Rahm Emanuel is endorsing Barack Obama, after months of avoiding the choice between his fellow Illinois Democrat and his old friends Bill and Hillary Clinton.

"He has endorsed," said Nick Papas, an aide to Emanuel. Emanuel and Obama are together at the conference of the American-Israel Public Affairs Committee in Washington this morning.

In addition to being the fourth-ranking Democrat in the House, Emanuel is also a superdelegate. Emanuel was an advisor to President Bill Clinton during his administration and had strictly avoided endorsing in the race between Sen. Hillary Clinton and Obama.
