It's a first for President Barack Obama.

He has endorsed a fellow Democrat in a competitive special congressional election.

Obama sent an e-mail Wednesday urging voters in New York's 20th Congressional District to "Sign up and pitch in to elect Scott Murphy to Congress." At least 50,000 of the e-mails were sent.

And Wednesday evening, Obama headlined two fundraisers in Washington expected to bring in an estimated $3 million for the Democratic National Committee.

real helpful in getting fellow Dems elected for awhile now.
