Congressman Jason Altmire is in what could be a tough reelection fight against Melissa Hart. Some Democrats understand why he is waiting to make a formal announcement on who he is endorsing for President. Now that the election fight is over and the Democrats have a presumptive nominee it will be easy for Altmire to make that decision. Altmire has said for weeks now that he was going to wait until after the last vote was cast, then by the end of that week (this week) make his decision know. He has not hidden from the fact he did not want to upset any Democrats in his district by choosing the wrong candidate. Even as Altmire announced today he would support Barack Obama he treaded lightly.
