Poll question: Who is crying more? Obama supporters or Hillary supporters upset about Obama's comments re: Lewis
It seems to me that there is a lot of Hillary supporters who just can't get over the fact that Obama, in acknowledging Congressman John Lewis's endorsement of Hillary, noted the long relationship between Lewis and President Clinton. So who is crying more?

2. Agreed. This is just silly
As an Obama supporter, I think we all need to move on and talk about the actual issues instead of who endorsed who and who's supporters are crying about it.

4. What's The Brouhaha About?
John Lewis is not the first prominent African American to endorse Senator Clinton...Her endorsements run the gamut from Ron Dellums to Earvin Johnson to Curtis Jackson...

It matters not a wit to me if Edwards, Obama, or Clinton get the nomination but they better be prepared to destroy or be destroyed by their Rethuglican opponent in the Fall...

Which candidate can do that?

5. You're exactly right..and WHERE is LBJ when we need him?
That man knew how to destroy Repukes, and that attitude is just what we require in the next election.

8. Look At Gore And Kerry
By the time the campaigns were over the Rethuglicans had assassinated their character and then cremated it...It took a Nobel Prize for Mr. Gore to redeem it and the Rethuglicans begrudged him that...

7. It is funny to watch the justifications created
When Clark and Mondale and Lewis gave support to Clinton, suddenly all sorts of justifications were given as to why in the world they would support Clinton. It could not be for the reasons they gave: that she would be best for the job in this era. The justifications include: political aspirations / likes her husband / old friends...

Many people have closed their minds and are attempting to fit square pegs in round holes to justify what does not fit what they believe.

Clark is an exceptional person with unsurpassed experience in matters of war. I trust him and consider his endorsement in making my decision. Lewis is also an exceptional civil rights leader and one whom I have respected for years. I would trust his endorsements.

Rather than simply dismiss their statements, listen, review, open your minds.
