Fonzie gives Obama a thumbs up

Sen. Barack Obama picked up a couple of big endorsements in the last 24 hours.

First, former Democratic National Committee Chairman Joe Andrew switched his endorsement from Sen. Hillary Clinton to Obama, calling on Democrats to "unite behind Barack Obama now."

Andrew's move is quite a coup for Obama, but the former DNC chair doesn't wear a leather jacket, ride a motorcycle or, as far as we know, have the ability to start a juke box with a tap from his fist. Which makes him much less cool than the other recently announced Obama-backer, Henry Winkler, best know as "The Fonz" on "Happy Days."

In an interview with The LA City Beat, Winkler was a bit reluctant to reveal who he supported in the race for the White House, but then admitted to being "an Obama guy."

Said Winkler of Obama:

You can not be that articulate that often and not have it on the ball. People say we need “experience,” but intelligence and passion are what we need to fix this country again after what they’ve done to it.
