Sen. Hillary Clinton won another important superdelegate in the form of the Louisiana Party Chair Chris Whittington to her side on Monday. The Whittington endorsement took her superdelegate total to 291.

In his endorsement statement, Whittington said, “Hillary Clinton has what it takes to turn around our economy and rebuild the middle class. There is no question that she is the strongest Democrat to go toe-to-toe with John McCain in a general election. It is our responsibility as automatic delegates to choose the candidate we believe best fit to beat Senator McCain. That candidate is Senator Clinton.”
