WASHINGTON - A leader of the Democratic Party under Bill Clinton has switched his allegiance to Barack Obama and is encouraging fellow Democrats to "heal the rift in our party" and unite behind the Illinois senator.

Joe Andrew, who was Democratic National Committee chairman from 1999-2001, planned a news conference Thursday in his hometown of Indianapolis to urge other Hoosiers to support Obama in Tuesday's primary, perhaps the most important contest left in the White House race. He also has written a lengthy letter explaining his decision that he plans to send to other superdelegates.
"I am convinced that the primary process has devolved to the point that it's now bad for the Democratic Party," Andrew said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press.
The word on the street is that two men who claim to be superdelegates (but have not proven this by showing their Official Superdelegate ID Decoder Rings) are already behind Obama 100%. They're also behind McCain. One claimed that both of the candidates had "aSSHOLES THAT ARE MUY ESPICY SALSA!"
Former White House intern-turned-trailer park trash Monica Lewinsky claims that Andrew was never under Clinton, as she was there the whole time and never saw him.
