4. Sweet!

[KingFlorez]

5. K&R

Really good news

[zabet]

6. w00t!!

:woohoo:

[quinnox]

7. Interesting

If more super delegates start going to Hillary in the next few weeks then it may mean politicians are starting to get nervous about Obama/Rev. Wright and the fallout is serious...

[Bigleaf]

8. Got a link for the Maroney endorsement?

[MojoMojoMojo]

9. Funny the press didnt mention Murtha was SD

[MediaBabe]

10. Yeah I read in another thread that Murtha is the latest DINO slime

I suppose they'll attack this discussion next. God but I HATE Obama supporters here. I've never seen anything like it.

I'm proud that Murtha and Maroney chose today to endorse her. A little glimmer of sunshine for the future of this country.

[meow mix]

11. Mr Pork Barrels is Dead to me. guess he's goin for the big score.

too bad..

[rodeodance]

14. Who cares if he dead to you. Its about Hillary --not YOU

[MercutioATC]

18. I don't think you realize what you just said...it IS about us...ALL of us...

...not Clinton.

But I've become accustomed to that sentiment from HRC and her supporters...

[rodeodance]

27. I know exactly what I said and I do not need a lecture from you.

I don't think you realize what you just said...it IS about us...ALL of us...

...not Clinton.

But I've become accustomed to that sentiment from HRC and her supporters...

[MercutioATC]

33. As I said (and you quoted) "I've become accustomed to that..."

It's going to be an interesting general election...

[greguganus]

12. I'm sure Hillary promised Murtha a spot in her war cabinet. n/t

[rodeodance]

15. Madam President will be a grand president

[LittleClarkie]

20. In the same way that Kerry, Kennedy, Olbermann, and Kos have been attacked

among others I'm sure.

Shit floats both ways, it seems

And I'm sure the feeling is mutual among some Obama people toward Hillary people.

But that's hardly the way to bring civility back to the board.

13. Marc Ambinder: Superdelegates From Florida, Michigan May Be Seated

Here's the rub, the Obama camp doesn't want it to happen because anyone who voted repug in the 1st round can't vote this time. That would be his folks.

[rodeodance]

16. He has been against since day one. !!

[housewolf]

25. Superdelegates only, doesn't address the issue of pledged delegates

The DNC's Rules & Bylaws committee would have to rule on it in mid-April, so there's nothing sure about it.

[emilyg]

17. Good.

[AGirl]

19. wow thats kind of neat.

[Bigleaf]

21. Still waiting for that Maroney link. Link or B.S.

[ruggerson]

22. I think you people have personality disorders

[Bigleaf]

24. Why? I've seen the many links with respect to Murtha but zip on Maroney.

I'm not trying to stir shit. I just wanted to read the endorsement, that's all.

[Johnny__Motown]

23. hey, now she is only down 5 since 2/5. not bad, at this rate her 2012 time line is about right

[jackson_dem]

28. The two she got both came after pastorgate, as did the Edwards endorsement rumor

Maybe the sd's are recognizing Obama is damaged goods?

[rodeodance]

29. good point.

[LulaMay]

37. What rumor? I didn't hear that.

[robbedvoter]

31. People who braved the elements to oppose war go to Hillary. I wonder why?

:shrug: (Clark, Wilson, Murtha)

[boppers]

32. Hillary's big on earmarks and defense spending, as is Murtha.

So those two are natural allies. What's Pat Maroney's reasoning?

[Straight Shooter]

34. All constituents love earmarks going to their own communities.

It's one of the major reasons Congress Critters keep getting reelected. It's only perceived as a big problem when it goes to other places.

Murtha took some mighty hits from the right wing machine for trying to set a deadline to get the troops home and finding a workable solution. I guess that's where he has more in common with Hillary than with Obama.

[Forkboy]

35. Murtha has his issues, but...

I'll never forget that he spoke up when it seemed like no one else in that position really was. He took the hits for a lot of us, and changed the tone of the whole debate. For that he has, and will continue to have, my gratitude.

[Nutmegger]

36. Thanks

Time to throw those two under the bus.

[Justice Is Comin]

38. Watch them line up behind her.

We're talking about selecting a president, not a real estate lawyer.

The fluffy toy was fun while it lasted.

If our primaries were winner take all like the repukes, obama would have been history ages ago.

Right on John!!
