California Super Delegate Ed Espinoza endorsed Barack Obama today, according to the Obama campaign website.
Espinoza becomes the 269th super delebate to back Obama, which still leaves the candidates short 162 delegates.
The California DNC member cited Obama's judgement, character and his plan to end the war and the endorsement of Obama by New Mexico governor Bill Richardson reasons for his decision.
"From day one he opposed the Iraq war and has a plan to end the war in a responsible way and bring our sons and daughters home," Espinoza said according to the Obama website.
"He has shown he has the character to lead our great nation, from his choice to spend his career serving people in the poorest communities in Chicago to his commitment to speaking truth to the American people, even when it isn’t politically convenient to do so."
