Hillary Clinton received a ringing endorsement Tuesday.

Make that 101 ringing endorsements.

101 mayors from across Pennsylvania announced their unified support of Clinton on Tuesday.  A handful gathered at the State Capitol for the announcement.  Harrisburg Mayor Stephen Reed lead the announcement, saying that Clinton is the most experienced candidate.

"This is 21st century leadership," Reed said.  "Experience does count, and she has it."

Reed also took the opportunity to blast comments made by Senator Barack Obama (web|news|bio), characterizing small-town voters as "bitter." 

"They serve as divisive comments," Reed said.  "They serve as comments that stereotype and characterize in inaccurate and unfair ways."

Reed believes these mayoral endorsements will help sway undecided voters toward Clinton.

"The input they get from local elected officials they know and trust is a factor," Reed said.  "And I believe that particularly in the 101 cities and towns represented by this mayor's coalition, that the undecided voters in those areas are now more likely to be voting for Clinton than for anybody else."

Other mid-state communities represented include Mount Wolf, Mountville, East Prospect, and McSherrystown.
