WASHINGTON --Rep. John Barrow of Savannah became the third Georgia Democrat this month to announce his support for Barack Obama's presidential campaign.

Barrow, who had withheld his endorsement, said Thursday that Obama has demonstrated he can unite people and work across the aisle.

"The more I saw and the more closely I watched, the more convinced I was that he was the best choice for bringing us together as a party and as a country," Barrow said.

Barrow narrowly won re-election last year and has been a top target for Republicans since first winning his seat in 2004. He is a Democratic superdelegate, meaning he has a vote at this summer's national convention in Denver.

His endorsement of Obama follows similar announcements this month from Reps. David Scott and John Lewis, both of Atlanta.

Reps. Sanford Bishop of Albany and Hank Johnson of Lithonia endorsed Obama last year.

Rep. Jim Marshall of Macon is the only Georgia Democrat who remains undecided.

Obama and Clinton are now tied among elected Superdelegates (Senators, Representatives, and Governors) 94-94. Clinton's superdelegate lead now comes entirely from the unelected portion (DNC members, distinguished party leaders, and add-ons) where she leads 145-91.
