Doyle endorses Obama

One uncommitted superdelegate down, two more to go.

U.S. Rep. Mike Doyle (D-Forrest Hills) announced this afternoon he will endorse U.S. Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) for president -- a day after Obama clinched enough delegates to secure the nomination.

U.S. Reps. Jason Altmire (D-Wexford) and Tim Holden (D-St. Clair) still remain uncommitted.

Obama has clearly clinched the nomination even if Clinton has not conceded, Doyle said.

"There's no question about it,"  Doyle told PolitickerPa.

He predicted a rush of remaining uncommitted superdelegates will endorse Obama by Friday.

Most of them supported Obama before Tuesday, but did not endorse him out of "respect and courtesy for Hillary Clinton," Doyle said. 

He thinks Clinton will soon follow suit, saying she "just needs a little time."
