Hillary picks up a former Obama Supporter!

Another defection, this one to Clinton's camp
by Christi Parsons

Okay, we said we wouldn't tell you every time there was another Democratic defection.

But it seems worth noting that supporters aren't just flipping from supporting Hillary Clinton to backing Barack Obama.

Today, the Clinton campaign announced that El Paso County Commissioner and former Barack Obama supporter Veronica Escobar has switched her support to Clinton.

According to a release from the Clinton camp:

The announcement follows a Latino Decisions Texas Poll that shows Hillary Clinton leading Barack Obama by 62% to 21% among registered Hispanic voters in Texas.

“While I initially liked Barack Obama," Escobar says in the release, "I am supporting Hillary Clinton because it is clear that she is the one candidate who will truly fight for our communities as president."

Clearly, this fight is still on.

on edit, maybe she isn't a sd. so i changed op. but still great news!

:shrug:

:I

I guess they don't have a lot of super delegates switching these days....

No biggie.

....

:rofl:

See my post down thread with a link to all democratic superdelegates.

for good news when you say someone is a SD who has switched when they're not...BBBBWWWWAAAAHHHHHHHhh

than Chris Dodd or Rep. Lewis. And that's where the next primary will be held.

Get it?

Veronica Escobar is not a Super Delegate.

:eyes:

Someone supports her and is made out to be a Messiah....ROFL

Suffice it to say I was all ready to tell you to take your obnoxious sexism and fuck off. :blush:

I think the fat lady is still napping and nowhere near ready to sing.

Personally, I hope we don't know who gets the nom until the convention, like in the good ol' days:)

Even if Hillary wins TX and OH, it is not going to be by much. Obama is within striking distance in PA, so she won't win that by much either. So best case scenario for Hillary won't be enough to let her catch up with Obama either in popular vote or pledged delegates.

So...you are saying it is the good old days for there to be some question of whether the convention will ratify the votes of the people (that is, the Democrats they represent) or whether they would behind closed doors give the nomination to Hillary?

That would not be the good old days. It would be the wet dream come true for the Republicans....

Please spare us from the good old days....

Spare me your failed reading between the lines...

btw - the clinton's hoodwinked a bunch of county comissioners into supporting them by offering for them to meet bill clinton... mine was ... he saw the blue obama wave in this very red county... and swithed sided.

WTH?
