Edited on Tue May-13-08 09:54 AM by babylonsister
m$nbc, more when I find a link.

That makes three today by my count!

Update: someone else just endorsed Obama, but I didn't catch the name; he's up to four.

5. He's not a SD, but in terms of delegates, it is a net gain of 5 so far today because of the switch..

4. Good News he was a decent Governor of Colorado
I heard he had moved to LA to work on their school systems, I haven't
been following his career for years.

12. I think the Obama campaign is regulating the number of SDs
it releases each day and limiting it to a steady stream so as not to have it look like Hill is being bullied or pushed out. It's a good strategy and I hope they stick with it.

20. Obama might be screwing this one up
I don't care what she says - Hillary is not going to man up and stump for Obama when he wins the nomination. No way in hell. She knows that unless he loses the GE that her chances of running for President are dead and buried.

So then why this stupid strategy, if it's true, of limiting the number of SD's announcing?

TODAY is the day for the flood! Let a hundred of them all declare together and just knock WV off the media map! Let them make WV utterly, utterly meaningless and end this once and for all.

Obama's campaign needs to wise up. Hillary is a rabid dog which needs to be put down. She has to be knocked out of the picture as SOON as they fucking can to get her out of the headlines OR just a subject of mockery if she continues to run.

Expecting Hillary to stump for Obama seems to me to be the height of folly, as does any hope of him taking her on a ticket. He can't, not without betraying every principle he claims to be standing for.

23. I personally believe she will stump. Also why alienate her voters further..with piling on..a steady
stream is good..and healthy.

I do; he's been playing this game pretty amazingly so far, it's been a wonder to watch.

18. Today's endorsements are especially important.
They will help keep Hillary's big WV win in perspective.

24. Exactly. A steady stream keeps it in perspective. An avalanche will seem cocky..
