Senator Barack Obama is continuing to enjoy a wave of new support from across the country following his victory in Iowa. Obama is expected to pick up a major endorsement in Nevada later this week from the largest union in the state: the Culinary Workers Union. Nevada holds its primary on January 19. During a campaign stop in Lebanon, New Hampshire, Obama vowed to help lead the fight against global warming.

Sen. Barack Obama: “In one day’s time, we have a chance to break the lock that big oil has on our economy and on our foreign policy. We know what to do. If we increase oil efficiency standards to forty miles per gallon, we save the equivalent of all the oil we import from the Persian Gulf. We know that climate change is real and that we have to cap the emission of greenhouse gases.”
