Sweet Lou D. Falls for Hillary

New Hampshire state Sen. Lou D'Allesandro, a ubiquitous presence in Granite State politics, finally sealed the deal with Hillary Clinton's campaign. His endorsement carries weight in vote-rich Manchester, which D'Allesandro represents.

It's notable also because D'Allesandro, a grandfather of eight who has served five terms, backed John Edwards in 2004.

D'Allesandro will serve as HRC's national co-chair of Italian Americans for Hillary.

“After the Democratic presidential primary debate this week, my decision to support Senator Clinton became clear,” said D’Allesandro, in a statement released by the Clinton campaign. “At this critical time in our country’s history, we must move beyond negative politics. At the debate, Hillary demonstrated that she is the only candidate with a strong, positive message. I believe she can deliver the real change our country needs.”
