Goin' Strait for Obama

Crystal Strait, the DNC Committeewoman for the Young Democrats of America, has come out for Barack Obama.

“While representing the Young Democrats of America at the DNC, my number one priority is to ensure that young people are fully represented at the polls and in the Party. Barack Obama has shown a real commitment to young voters in his campaign and in response young people have overwhelmingly voted and caucused for Obama in these primary contests. We know that if a young person votes three times in a row for a Party, they become a Party voter for life. We know that because of high youth turnout in 2004 and 2006, 2008 is the third and critical election for young voters. And that’s why I know I want to pledge my delegate vote to Barack Obama.”

The DNC Committeeman, Francisco Domenech, endorsed Sen. Clinton last year. The other YDA Superdelegate, President David Hardt, has not endorsed either candidate.
