Clinton picks off a Pa. superdelegate
 
   
The Clinton campaign's press release stressed the electability issue. Here's George's official quote:
"Hillary Clinton has the strength and experience to jump start the economy and rebuild the middle class," George said. "Working families in Pennsylvania overwhelmingly favored her in last week’s primary, and I feel that she is our strongest candidate to carry Pennsylvania in November and win back the White House."
George has been a DNC member since 1996 and is President of the Pennsylvania AFL-CIO.
That leaves five Pennsylvania superdelegates uncommitted. All are members of Congress. George's move cannot be considered a surprise. Clinton did carry Pennsylvania, after all.
