Everytime Hillary goes negative, Obama gets a spike in SD endorsements
Last time, Bill Richardson came out cause he was disgusted with the Clinton campaign tactics. I predict this week you'll start seeing some other shoes dropping.

Why does Hillary not realize that going negative on Barack only makes other Dems more upset and seek even more to end the campaign? It's not helping her with SD's at all, it's only hurting her.

And to make matters worse, Hillary has bashed Gore, Kerry, and Pelosi (by bashing San Francisco, her home), in one breath on national TV. They've got to be seething mad at her. Keep on Hillary cause you're bringing this campaign to a quicker close!!

3. I love how she derided Obama for talking about the RW's use of wedge issues to
manipulate rural voters into voting against their worst interest, then she turns around an starts using wedge issues to manipulate rural voters into voting for her.
:rofl: Way to prove Obama right!

4. No kidding. And it's worth asking if this is the way she would handle international disputes.
I wouldn't call this kind of behavior "leadership." It's disgraceful.

5. Superdelegate goes for Obama, Nancy Larson DNC of MN

Superdelegate goes for Obama

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — One of Minnesota's last uncommitted Democratic superdelegates is backing Barack Obama, the Obama campaign announced Sunday.

Nancy Larson , of Dassel, a Democratic National Committee member, told The Associated Press she decided to support Obama because his campaign will bring new people into the political process, and she believes he has the best chance of winning in November.

"It's looking more and more that the one person who can do it is Barack Obama," Larson said.

But Larson said the choice wasn't easy. As one of the last two uncommitted superdelegates in Minnesota, Larson had been lobbied heavily by Obama's and Hillary Clinton's campaigns. She said she spent countless hours speaking with the campaigns and others about her choice.

Larson joins eight other Minnesota superdelegates who are supporting Obama. Three are backing Clinton.

Larson's announcement leaves Rep. Collin Peterson as the only uncommitted superdelegate from the state.

7. She (Hillary) was referring to the fund raiser in SF, where
someone in the crowd got an audio tape of Obama's statement about the reason for the "bitterness" in States like PA. She inferred that he was speaking to the SF "elite" to raise campaign funds. In the same sentance she also dissed Gore and Kerry for their "elitist" campaigns!!

8. what she is doing
I know exactly what she's doing. She's faking being concerned about Obama in the general election by "helping him out", and saying he shouldn't say things that the Republicans will use against him. Even if they are mostly true.

That's where her SF comment comes in. She's feigning helping him out by saying he shouldn't say things like that in San Francisco. All the while telling everybody he's saying things like that in San Francisco.

It's like Huckabee going all over the press I don't think people should use Romney's being mormon against him, you know, mormon, mormon, mormon. People shouldn't do that to him. Mormon.

14. It's called "concern trolling"
and Hillary's an expert at it.

10. How many today. Since Monday is the beginning of the week
after a weekend of blogs showing the outrage over Hillary's attack on Obama, I'm sure many SD's know exactly what is going on. And know would be the time to chime in and tell us what they think by throwing some weight his way.

11. I posted this on another thread
Here's something creepy that every Super Delegate should know..

Hillary has shown, regardless of content, that she has no qualms
secretly taping private meetings of her political opponents and
using those tapes in the public domain for her own political gain.

If I were a Super Delegate, especially a member of Congress,
I would find this behavior by the Clintons deeply disturbing.

15. You'd think she'd be more sensitive to the issue of private conversations
being taped and then used to score political points.

Just saying.

16. That's because unlike Hillary, most SDs are good Democrats
they care about the party and it's prospects in November.
