Committee Chairs For Obama (Updated)

By Marc Ambinder

Apr 29 2008, 1:30 PM ET Comment

Reader MB writes:

So am I missing someone, or has Obama shut Hillary out among endorsements from Committee Chairs in the body in which they both serve? Kerry (Small Business), Leahy(Judiciary), .... Kennedy (Health, Education & Labor), Dodd (Banking), and now Bingaman (Energy.) I guess if you count the Rules Committee, Hillary has Feinstein.


Other readers who know better write in: what about Sen. Barbara Boxer? Daniel Inoyue?

That's five to three. Not a huge margin.

So -- nevermind.
