Superdelegates Flocking to Obama

ImageToday Obama picked up a whopping nine superdelegates, and is now only 160 delegates short of clinching the Democratic nomination. Here are some quotes from, and links to today’s endorsements.

DNC member Ed Espinoza said, “He has shown he has the character to lead our great nation, from his choice to spend his career serving people in the poorest communities in Chicago to his commitment to speaking truth to the American people, even when it isn’t politically convenient to do so.”

Wilber Lee Jeffcoat, the South Carolina Democratic Party Vice Chair said, “With Barack Obama as our nominee, we can bring more and more new voters out to become involved and have their voices heard. Obama has worked his whole life to unite people from all backgrounds and walks of life for change, he has done that in this campaign and he will continue to do that as President. I am excited to join his campaign today.”

Laurie Weahkee of New Mexico said, "Obama has proven that he can campaign in a difficult environment and still inspire thousands of new voices to take part in the democratic process."

Rep. Mazie Hirono of Hawaii said, Of course, all of us are especially proud of Senator Obama's deep roots here in our state, and overwhelmingly embraced his candidacy in our recent caucus. His love for Hawaii and understanding of its diversity have given him a foundation for understanding the diversity of our country. I am proud to endorse Senator Obama and I look forward to a winning campaign.”

Superdelegates better hurry up and get their seat on the bandwagon, because space is filling up by the hour. Is there anyone out there besides the Clintons who believes that the Democratic nomination is still in dispute? A new generation of leadership is poised to take over the Democratic Party.

What president has ever had

What president has ever had experience other than doing a second term. As far as Obama not having experience, he has just as much experience as any other past president. If George Bush, a "C" student, can be president then certainly the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review can serve as President of the United States of America.

Terrie...Barack Obama has

Terrie...Barack Obama has specific plans on all the same issues as Clinton. He has given details about many of them in speeches, debates, interviews, and on his website (you must not have looked under the "ISSUES" tab). "Choice" is the issue that Hillary falsely attacked him on in NH and IA. I'm from NH and received the false flyer in the mail right before the primary. It claimed he was not pro-choice. In fact, he is 100% pro-choice and has always been. He is an extremely strong proponent of women and women's rights. Because of the false flyers Clinton sent out many of her supporters from the National Organization for Women switched to Obama.

If Obama wins and want my

If Obama wins and want my vote in November, I want to hear how we are going to change and nothing about movements. Me and most of Hispanic don't get impressed by speeches. So far what we see is a cult not because of the candidate (he has not fault in the fanatism of his followers), but because the biased press and the horrible fanatics! If he cannot do this I prefer 4 more years of Republican nogovernment.

Caucuses are dumb.It

Caucuses are dumb.It disinfranchize voters who can't wait in line too long .Obama is echoing Clinton's issues since he didn't have one's till recently just changing a little bit here and there. I think popular votes mean more than a few thousand votes from caucuses.The success Obama is a direct result of Republican's machine. Why do you think Rep. has fewer votes?

Good!

Thanks for your overview

I would like to see a group of leading Democrats supporting Obama write an open letter to the Canadian prime minister protesting his government's malicious interference in our politics. It was not only inappropriate; it was illegal ujnder Canadian law, the memo leaked false, with nothing to back it up, and it did harm to the candidate whose position the Canadian Neocon PM's administration opposed. In addition to issuing a statement repudiating the claim made, an appology to Mr. Obama should be made immediately.

Obama will be able to take

Obama will be able to take all the strong Dem states as well. Clinton won the primariesin NY, NJ, MA & CA, but to hink Obama won't strongly take all of those states is just silly. I live in NY, it will strongly go for Obama in November. In regards to the smaller states, Obama helps bring in some of the purplish or red leaning states such as Virginia, Colroado and a few others more so than Clinton would.van Gogh Oil Painting,bouguereau oil painting.

South Carolina

Even if Obama have so many delegates in the past campaigns, still I don't see any effect after he already become our President. I do think it's time for him to focus in decreasing the rate of unemployment in our country. Did you hear the new in South Carolina, The Legislators have been laying the smack down on the payday loan industry in South Carolina lately. However, today it appears they might be willing to ease up a bit. The regulations moving through the Senate included a provision that limits the total amount of a payday loan to 25 percent of the person’s income. South Carolina, along with California, Michigan, and Rhode Island, has the doubtful distinction of having over 10% unemployment. The Palmetto State is also in the midst of a battle over payday loan regulations, as they are trying to define the payday loan limit. The limit was already capped at $500, but an additional limit of 25% of a person's monthly income (gross or net pay going undefined) is a proposed addition to the bill. The payday lending industry has argued that it is placing too many restrictions on their business. Legislators insist more work will be done on their part for regulating legitimate business in South Carolina . So let's hope for the best and to those who become delegates of Obama try to support him on solving the unemployment crisis and other economic issues.

Obama for some reason

Obama for some reason inspires me. I have never voted for any Democrat except Diane Fienstien. I voted for Reagan, Bush, Dole, and Bush2 twice. (Sorry about the last one people) But now Obama has me feeling like this country can truly be great again with the right choice.

Senator Obama so far can

Senator Obama so far can only win the small states which he will be defeat by John McCain in this November. It’s a bad news for DEM if he wins the DEM nomination after all, GOP will again control the White House for another 4 years.

Lucky

I really liked your article.It really have alot of new things to see.Hope to have some more from u in the future.

It claimed he was not pro-choice. In fact, he is 100% pro-choice and has always been.

o my!

Six months into this administration, I wonder is this the hope and change you voted for?
I was and remain a HIllary supporter. I can't imagine voting for any of the sorry excuses of super delegates in my state who went for Obama despite the fact Obama didn't carry a single county in my state.
For some odd reason, Obama didn't do as well in primaries as caucuses.
