Arizona governor to back Obama Posted: 10:14 AM ET

Napolitano’s nod could help Obama in western states.

(CNN) — CNN has confirmed that Arizona’s popular Democratic governor, Janet Napolitano, will endorse Barack Obama. The endorsement could prove useful in the upcoming caucuses in Nevada, where Napolitano is expected to join Obama on the trail this evening.
Napolitano is the most prominent Democrat in Arizona, which is one of more than 20 states holding a Democratic presidential primary on "Super Tuesday," Febuary 5. Her backing, especially as a female elected official, is considered a big boost for his campaign in the state.
Napolitano plans to join Obama as he campaigns in neighboring Nevada, the sources said.
Obama received another big boost in South Carolina on Thursday when Sen. John Kerry, the 2004 Democratic presidential candidate four years ago, announced he's endorsing the U.S. senator from Illinois.

Obama/Napolitano would be a solid ticket in my book.

Please no. She hasn't done bad, but she isn't a VP.

I'd actually be okay with it. She'd need a makeover, though, sadly. Pariah (I think it was) was right when he said 30% beauty contest...

I got my voter card and it turns out I am registered Democrat. Go figure.

Everyone would confuse her with Janet Reno.

A little, perhaps. I think endorsements are WAAAAYYYYY overrated.

I agree. But presumably she has her own coalition/network of folks that will consider this.

That Obama just keeps geting cooler and cooler by the day.

I liked what he said yesterday to take the initiative in diffusing the squabble with the Clinton campaign over Hillary's MLK remarks. He gave praise to Hillary and Bill Clinton's civil rights record. He's a real class act.

Well it looks like Senator Obama has starting running his TV ads in AZ:

Let me know what you guys think. The website has much better stuff as far as detail on the issues, but I guess this is still the way to reach Joe and Jane 6 pack and others who may not be online.

February 5th is coming up fast! Are you all ready to vote?
