Barrow throws support to Obama

Another Georgia Democrat has thrown his support behind presidential candidate Barack Obama. Representative John Barrow of Savannah is the third state Democrat this month to do so. Barrow says Obama has shown he can work with people of both parties, and he's the best choice for bringing the nation together.

Barrow narrowly won re-election last year and has been a key target for Republicans since winning his seat in 2004. He also has a Democratic superdelegate vote.

Barrow's announcement comes just after that of Representative John Lewis, who confirmed this week his switch of support from Hillary Clinton to Obama.
