I am not sure if a MoveOn endorsement will help a Democratic candidate in the General Election, but this has the potential to be HUGE!

(CNN) MoveOn.org, the liberal political action committee that claims over 3 million members, endorsed

Barack Obama's White House bid Friday, the first time the group has made a primary endorsement.

The endorsement came after the group allowed its members to vote over the last two days on either Obama

or rival Hillary Clinton. Obama overwhelmingly beat the New York Democrat, 70 percent to 30 percent.

"Our members' endorsement of Sen. Obama is a clear call for a new America at this critical moment in

history," MoveOn.org's Executive Director Eli Pariser said. "Seven years of the disastrous policies of

the Bush Administration have left the country desperate for change. We need a president who will bring

to bear the strong leadership and vision required to end the war in Iraq, provide health care to every

American, deal with our climate crisis, and restore America’s standing in the world."

The group says it has 1.7 million members across the 22 states set to weigh in on Super Tuesday, and it

is now actively recruiting volunteers on Obama's behalf. It also boast an impressive Get out the Vote

campaign, in 2006 its members made 7 million calls on behalf of Democratic candidates.

Results from a Daily KOS poll taken this week show that Obama is really taking it to Clinton in progressive circles.

There is a feeling in the air these days... Hillary may win, but it is just incredible the effect Obama has. Even watching the crowds outside the debate the other night, the energy was obviously Obama energy.
