Another top Georgia Democrat will announce today that he's backing Sen. Barack Obama in the Democrat presidential race.
Rep. John Barrow of Savannah, who represents a toss-up district and who had one of the toughest re-elections battles in the country in 2006, picked Obama over Sen. Hillary Clinton, saying Obama's already proven his willingness and ability to work in a bipartisan manner.
"He's the one who has shown in his work that he's able to work with all sides," Barrow said.
Obama now has the backing of all five of the Democratic congressmen from Georgia who have announced a preference.
