Quickest superdelegate endorsement ever?

Superdelegate/Rep. David Wu (D-OR) announced his support for Barack Obama, citing his ability to make real change. Wu: “I believe that he is best suited to turn the page on this sorry episode in American history. He and I both had the judgment to oppose the Iraq War from the very beginning.”

Wu marks Obama’s 240th superdelegate endorsement.

An interesting note: On NPR’s “Morning Edition” this a.m., Wu was quoted saying, “I will decide at a reasonable time. I have very little intention of stretching it out till the convention, but I just have not had a reason to declare up till now.”

Ha! How’s that for a fast turnaround time?
