Obama Supporters; Say Something Good About A Clinton Super Delegate

[SoFlaJet]

show them that WE democrats don't play the same as they do. I'll start; John Murtha has balls the size of casaba melons-he was THE guy who stood up and said enough is enough with this war. I will NOT throw him under the Obama bus just because he supports Hillary. Who's next?

[GarbagemanLB]

1. I like Bayh's hair?

[Teaser]

2. I've always admired their fashion sense

.

[tekisui]

3. I like Murtha's voice.

[movonne]

10. I second that...

[JayFredMuggs]

13. Actually Murtha I used to respect a lot

And still think he's a great advocate for our troops. If HE will endorse Obama, after the convention, I will respect him the morning after!

[azmouse]

4. They're Americans.

[hisownpetard]

5. That explains why he walks so funny.

[BuyingThyme]

6. They don't take up a lot of space?

[Ichingcarpenter]

7. Barney Franks rocks

he is one of my favorite Congressman

[JayFredMuggs]

20. His name has no "S" on the end of it.

FRANK

and I respect him since he has a great mind, likely NOT to lead local people in Mass to vote for McSame, if Obama wins the nomination.

He's smart enough to know what to do then!

[Forkboy]

29. Frank is my favorite politician, period.

Has been for a long time. I love the guy.

[thevoiceofreason]

8. Sue Lovell in Houston is an excellent city couoncil member

And one of the truest, most trustworthy democrats anywhere.

[Justitia]

17. Damn! She came out for Clinton? Didn't know that. I like her too. -eom

[thevoiceofreason]

40. She endorsed her very very early on.

[Justitia]

9. Ditto, I feel the same way about Murtha. I was sad (& surprised) to see him go to Clinton. -eom

[DarienComp]

11. Barney Frank kicks ass.

[george_maniakes]

21. I thought bill clinton was a great president.

Did a good job of engaging other countries rather then talking down to them. Was a hairs breadth away from an israeli-palestinian peace deal.

[Buzz Clik]

27. Yep. I like Barney

[cooolandrew]

12. I see where you are coming from good thinking. =)

[cooolandrew]

I admire the loyalty of Bill and Hillary to her campaign. I think they will never switch for nobody.

[FrenchieCat]

14. Charlie Rangel is the best.......

[Adelante]

15. Charlie Rangel is a witty fellow in a business where wit is in short supply

:loveya: Charlie

[Debi]

16. Sandy Opstvedt is an awesome labor leader and a great friend

What? You didn't say everyone on DU needed to know who the super delegate was :crazy:

[writes3000]

18. I love Barbara Boxer. And I respect Murtha. n/t

[OzarkDem]

19. Barbara Boxer anyone?

[Justitia]

26. You're late, look up. -eom

[SoFlaJet]

33. Love her...

great dem who I will continue to support

[sandnsea]

22. She has a lot of good super-delegates

I don't know what the hell they're thinking, but they're still good people. Stephanie Tubbs-Jones, Sheila Jackson Lee, Murray and Cantwell, Lynn Woolsey, my own governor, a bunch of them.

[Life Long Dem]

23. You let Murtha off the hook? I can't believe Murtha said Hillary

made a mistake in giving authority for war in Iraq. What happened to day one experience? With experience like that who needs to have an alternative to Bush?

[FrenchieCat]

31. Murtha gave authority as well, didn't he? Wasn't he a super hawk

before he wasn't? :shrug:

[Life Long Dem]

58. Yeah. And they both tried to retract it.

Hilary said she wouldn't’t have voted for "war" if she had known then what she knows now.

Would "you" of said the same thing? I followed the U.N. inspections just as Hillary did and I couldn't say that without lying. That is Hillary's biggest problem with me - her honesty.

[Justitia]

32. My take? It's the PA state Dem machine (Rendell) twisting arms. -eom

[LaurenG]

24. Debbie Stabenow

because one of her family members is a good friend to one of my family members and because she is probably in a world of hurt right now. I have always admired her, she tries to do the right thing.

[SoFlaJet]

28. I LOVE Debbie Stabenow

I REFUSE to throw any of these names (well maybe Baye b/c he'll change the rules to get HC elected if he could) under the proverbial bus

[Justitia]

39. I feel just terrible for her today, really bad. -eom

[SoFlaJet]

42. what can you say Jus

we men be dogs

[Justitia]

44. From what I hear, he's a nice guy. Sometimes good people do bad things. I hope it turns out okay.

[SoFlaJet]

49. hey humans need sex

and it's gotta be hard with her in Washington and him in Michigan...I hope she's OK and I hope their marriage survives this

[Justitia]

50. My husband is traveling on business - probably not the best time to remind me - LOL!

And I also hope things work out for the two of them.

[sandnsea]

52. Did her husband cheat on her??

Oh.My.God. What the hell? I had not heard that. What is wrong with these men.

[Justitia]

55. He got caught patronizing a prostitute.

[Hepburn]

65. Oh, geeeeeeez, that is really sad.

I feel so sorry for her.

[sandnsea]

67. Oh no

She seems like she has such a soft heart. How terrible for her.

[SoFlaJet]

25. how about Patty Murray

is there a smarter and harder worker (mostly behind the scenes) than her? Great democrat...

[anonymous171]

30. Bill Clinton is still cool.

[Justitia]

36. Don't go crazy on us now. He's in the Big Dog House. -eom

[elocs]

34. Many, many who support Clinton whether they are SDs or not

are good people and good Democrats. I support Obama and I do not make him more important or electable by trashing Clinton or the people who support her. We are all Democrats and it is McCain who is the ultimate person who needs to be defeated.

[FrenchieCat]

35. Is there a thread where Clinton supporters are saying good things about

Obama superdelegates? I haven't seen it, but then I've been off these board for the last couple of days.

[SoFlaJet]

41. I just threw one up on the board Frenchie

I'm curious to see the replies

[Warren DeMontague]

37. Doesn't Barbara Boxer support Hillary?

:patriot:

[grantcart]

45. she has said that she will vote for but refuses to endorse or campaign for her

Barbara Boxer, one of the state's best-known superdelegates, has confused some by her stance. Boxer does not plan to endorse Clinton or Obama as long as both are running. But even though she has not thrown her support to either candidate, she does plan to vote for Clinton at the convention because Clinton won the California primary. Saying "the will of the voters is paramount," she hopes the superdelegates do not decide the nominee at the convention.

[Warren DeMontague]

48. I see.

Well, even if she had endorsed Hillary, I would still respect her.

[Ichingcarpenter]

46. she has not been Clear on her support of Clinton or Obama

Barbara Boxer, one of the state's best-known superdelegates, has confused some by her stance. Boxer does not plan to endorse Clinton or Obama as long as both are running. But even though she has not thrown her support to either candidate, she does plan to vote for Clinton at the convention because Clinton won the California primary. Saying "the will of the voters is paramount," she hopes the superdelegates do not decide the nominee at the convention.

"Part of me says, 'Let's make the most of this.' We're seeing a record number of people turning out in state after state. There is tremendous excitement in states that we will need this fall. But this is dangerous territory - you try to control what your supporters say, but you can't always do that."

[myrna minx]

38. I adore Charlie Rangel, Barney Frank and Barbara Boxer.

:loveya:

[Ichingcarpenter]

47. Boxer is not on board on either Obama or Clinton camp

http://www.mercurynews.com/news/ci_8472501

[myrna minx]

53. It's my understanding that she's not endorsing either one, but will vote for Clinton

because her constituents went for Clinton. Am I mistaken?

from link:

I would love it if she would endorse Obama, though.

[Lucky 13]

43. I've always liked Barbara Mikulski (THE BULLDOG!!!) and always will... no matter who she supports.

Same with Gephardt, Boxer... all of them really.

They have the right to support whomever they choose and I respect their opinion and even took it into consideration when making my decision.

It doesn't have to be as ugly as the Hillary folks make it. It all comes down to respect.

[sandnsea]

54. Oh yeah, I forgot her

I love her. I wasn't surprised when she endorsed Hillary. I think they gave her a good ear when they were in the White House.

[Kaylee]

63. Mikulski is my Senator.....Gotta lover her!

She's a state institution.

[Bolo Boffin]

51. Daniel Inouye.

He lost an arm in service to this country, and he's been a great voice for the American soldier ever since.

[cali]

56. I have nothing but respect for Wes Clark and RFK Jr

They are fantastic advocates and leaders. Same goes for Joe Wilson and Valerie Plame.

[KAZ]

57. There's not enough space. Frank and Boxer always make me ..

.. smile that I'm a Dem. And I still love Clinton's non-SD endorsers. Krugman comes to mind.

[Hepburn]

59. Ed Rendell doesn't...

...sweat much for a fat man. :evilgrin:

[Ysabel]

60. i love tammy baldwin i hope she switches and i think eventually she will...

p.s. i know her personally and she is a friend...

edit: er is she a super delegate (uh lol i dunno)...

- ah well anyway...

[zulchzulu]

68. Tammy is a good egg

I've talked to her a couple times and she even took an Obama button once...she joked it was for her collection. She is my representative....and a damn good one at that.

[Ysabel]

71. yep... :)

[karynnj]

61. Senator Menendez took a real risk voting for Kerry/Feingold in 2006

The year he had to run for Senate - he had been appointed in 2005 to replace Corzine, who became Governor.

[nxylas]

62. Despite Elliot Spitzer's indiscretions...

...he still did a good job of fighting Wall Street corruption. Do you think he'd even have been found out if he didn't make some powerful enemies?

[CreekDog]

64. there are many who aren't Judas

yet. :evilgrin:

[powergirl]

66. Rep. Sheila Jackson - Lee has done a lot of great deeds

for the Houston, Texas area. She is in a tough district and she delivers for them year after year. She was the rep that was booed at the County Caucus by her constituents b/c her district went 90-10 for Obama. She said she already pledged to Clinton over a year ago and couldn't change her vote. I know she wished she hadn't done that.

The Clinton's thought they could intimidate other candidates by shoring up these superdelegates before the election. Now it is hurting their people and their campaign. It would be noble for Clinton to let Rep. Jackson - Lee to vote the way of her district. But I won't hold my breath.

[DesertRat]

69. Rep. Ed Pastor (AZ)

Pastor is one of the most liberal members of the House, and was a founding member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus. Pastor is pro-choice and in 2006 supported the interests of the Planned Parenthood 100 percent, according to their records.

He does not support the Iraq War. :thumbsup:

[Raine]

70. Wesley Clark...classy & intelligent

and even though he is for Hillary at heart I'll always be a "Clarkie". I love the guy. :loveya:
