Nutter ready to campaign hard for Obama
By Dan HirschhornPHILADELPHIA -- After working the crowd during the National Governors Association annual meeting, Philadelphia mayor Michael Nutter told PolitickerPa.com said he was ready to campaign hard for U.S. Sen. Barack Obama.
"We've had some contact with the campaign," he said. "I will do anything, go anywhere, do whatever I can, expend all possible energy. They just need to tell me the time and place."
Nutter campaigned hard for U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton in the Democratic primary during the spring, but said he would campaign for Obama when the primary season ended.
More coverage of the centennial meeting of the National Governors Association coming soon.
