The bells of doom toll for Hillary?

This can't be good... if you're Hillary that is.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Bill Clinton's former campaign manager endorsed Sen. Barack Obama on Wednesday, saying he hopes to use his influence in the Democratic Party to persuade more of the party establishment to back the surging Obama.

David Wilhelm, an Ohio native who led Clinton's campaign in 1992 and later became chairman of the Democratic National Committee, said Obama had the unique ability to encourage cooperation as a "65-percent president" after the divisive years of a "51-percent" majority. He was referring to his belief that Obama could govern the country with the support of a large coalition, as opposed to more polarized support for President Bush.

Oh, and Wilhelm is also one of those "Super Delegates" we've all been hearing so much about lately. Prior to today he was uncommitted.

This major news combined with Obama's ongoing surge would seem to foreshadow the bells of doom for Hillary Clinton's candidacy.
