“Prominent PA supporters” will switch their support from Clinton to Obama due to her negativity.

Plus: The Obama campaign tells Stephanopoulos that “prominent Pennsylvania supporters” will switch their support from Clinton to Obama Thursday morning due to Clinton’s negativity.

*** Backlash? This debate is going to lead a lot of Obama supporters to ratchet up the calls on Clinton to either withdraw or tone down the attacks. Clinton supporters will point to this debate as proof that he's not yet ready for the general, that's why she should stay in, and that's why superdelegates should overturn the winner of pledged delegates. Still, Obama supporters -- and probably some neutral Democrats, too -- are going to be livid at how damaging this debate was to both of them. And the calls for getting the primary over with are going to rise. Indeed, per an aide, the Obama campaign is going to try to seize on last night’s negativity by announcing the support of Pennsylvania voters “who have switched their allegiance from Clinton to Obama, largely because of her negativity.”

why in the hell would the Obama campaign tell George S. anything. I would tell George S. to go to hell and to take Charlie with him!

5. “We are frankly troubled by her assumption that her husband’s administration and accomplishments
were her own."

Yahtzee.

in Bill's shadow.

6. Well, that's *great* news, if true.
Why was this news passed to The Snufflesuckass though? Surely they could have passed this scoop to someone more deserving.

8. Wow, a searing indictment indeed....
and with good reasoning behind their reasons for their endorsement of Obama over Clinton. Thanks for posting the link, it is a very interesting read.

12. Sniffa, this is the best written endorsement I have read.
Would you consider putting it in Editorials/Articles where it will stay up and be visible longer?

15. Same here.
It definitely is the best written endorsement I've seen, not just for Obama, but for any candidate. :-)

17. Thanks Sniffa
You know I was surfing here last night through all the shit ( it was horrible ignore function was disabled) Listeneing to giddy Hilly supporters and I thought to myself "this is going to back fire big time." I just couldn't see how it would not. All across the blogs every board I visited people were pissed at Hillary's performance and ABC it was pretty brutal. It seemed that the only ones that were giddy were the ones here.

18. And so it begans again. You can point this out to Clinton supporters
until you're blue in the face and they still don't get it. They think she's being tough or something when all she's doing is pissing people off and alienating them :shrug:

19. "Pissing people off & alienating them" - just what she'd do to the rest of the world
The US's international influence and standing is pretty damn low after 8 years of Bush. Having HRC lecturing them and shilling for the military-industrial complex would not improve that situation.
