Maria Shriver Endorses Barack Obama

Maria Shriver, wife of California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger who recently endorsed Republican John McCain, pledged her support for Democrat Barack Obama this afternoon at an event in Los Angeles that featured Caroline Kennedy, Michelle Obama and media mogul Oprah Winfrey.

According to Shriver, "I'm proud to be standing here not just with these women, but with all of you -- different races, different age groups I'm sure, Democrats and independents alike -- because you believe," she said. "You believe in each and every one of yourselves, most importantly. And you believe that you have found someone who believes in you."

California's first lady is the niece of Massachusetts Senator Edward Kennedy who endorsed Obama last week at an event at American University in Washington D.C.
