Governor Henry Says Biden Perfect VP Choice

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- Gov. Brad Henry says he likes Sen. Barack Obama's running mate selection.

Henry, an Oklahoma superdelegate at next week's Democratic National Convention in Denver, said Saturday U.S. Sen. Joe Biden of Delaware is a good choice.

Henry says Biden will make a strong ticket even stronger. The convention opens tomorrow.

Henry endorsed Obama in April, saying the Illinois senator represents the change that is critical for the nation.

Henry said earlier he voted for Obama during Oklahoma's February 5th presidential primary. But, Oklahoma Democrats favored U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton of New York. She won the primary with 55% of the votes compared with 31% for Obama.
