(CNN) Sources: Senate superdelegates will throw support to Obama

Source: CNN

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Most of the 17 Democratic senators who are uncommitted superdelegates will endorse Sen. Barack Obama for president this week, sources told CNN Monday.

Sen. Barack Obama is expected to pick up superdelegate endorsements after Tuesday's contests, sources say.

The lawmakers will wait until after the South Dakota and Montana primaries Tuesday before announcing their support for Obama, two sources familiar with discussions between Obama supporters and these senators told CNN's Gloria Borger.

Obama supporters have been "pressing" for these superdelegates to endorse early this week, but according to one source, "the senators don't want to pound Hillary Clinton, and there is a sense she should be given a grace period."

A series of meetings on the topic have been facilitated at different times by Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin, former Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle and Iowa Sen. Tom Harkin. Durbin and Daschle are Obama supporters, while Harkin is uncommitted.

A bit late for that I think.

She lost. Stop whining about bullshit sexism.

:sarcasm:

Hillary has had her grace period and it ends tomorrow at 8PM.

I've said it before, but as a woman, I don't want our first female president to achieve this position because she was married to a former President. She might (and it's a big maybe) have become a senator in her own right, but she is where she is today because of Bill. Look at the others who ran....Biden, Dodd, Richardson. So much experience. Yeah, Obama doesn't have that kind of experience, but he's made his own moment. He is where he is because of no one else Hillary? Fine, she can do the job, but her avenue to getting there is hardly admirable or inspiring to women.

ding dong something something?



:evilgrin:

spell that with a "W" or we're sexist all over again!! LOL
