Another Super Delegate for Hillary!

[2rth2pwr]

Rep. John Tanner Jumps Off The Superdelegate Fence

Mark Halperin reports the 8th District Congressman will commit his superdelegate vote to Hillary Clinton. (via SB)

…”I do not remember a time when our nation has faced the financial peril that confronts all Americans,” Congressman Tanner said. “To me, this election is not about politics as usual. I believe nothing less than our financial liberty and economic freedom are at stake.

“In my opinion, the best person to lead this critical effort is Hillary Clinton. Hillary is a smart, pragmatic leader who understands the grave situation our country faces, with a $9 trillion debt, much of which is borrowed from foreign countries. Now, more than ever, our nation needs a leader like Sen. Clinton who can work with others to return to fiscal sanity.”…

…”I am honored to have the support of Congressman John Tanner,” said Hillary Clinton. “As co-founder of the Blue Dog Coalition, John has spent his career in Congress fighting to eliminate our national debt and restore fiscal soundness to our nation’s government. John is known as a common sense, results-oriented leader, and I look forward to having him join me in spreading my message of change and experience across America.”

[Windy]

4. Keep telling yourself that... a less than 10point win in PA...

Edwards supporters and campaign personnel in NC endorsing OBAMA...

More delegates, the popular vote by over 1,000,000.00..

You need to stop ingesting the hallucinogens!

5. Wahoo!

If this thing were in the bag for Obama, why would Rep. Tanner do this?

Or Tim Ryan?

:woohoo::woohoo::woohoo:

21. Some people have no sense

Hillary thinks the tide is turning but doesn't realize it's a riptide. Some folks are hell bent on trying to rescue her.

6. People who keep turning end up going in circles

[RiverStone]

7. What tide - ya mean that trickle for Hillary?

Show me the Super Delegate numbers over the past couple of months that show any tide, stream, or brook that is running for Hillary.

10. PA is the pivot point.

[HCE SuiGeneris]

12. Pivoted from needing 60 % to 70 % of the remaining delegates.

WooHoo!

[RiverStone]

13. Congrats on Hillary's win yesterday...

Though lets see what she is pivoting around after Obama wins in N.C. and (hopefully) Indiana.

Sorry, but I do not think there is enough delegates left to pivot anything around; and the SuperD's will not perform a coup on her behalf - it will not happen.

[Straight Shooter]

8. Well, I'm not familiar with the Blue Dog Coalition, but the more, the merrier.

I have an idea, though, it's the moderate Democrats in that party.

Thank you, John Tanner. :thumbsup:

19. Blue Dog = DINO conservatives

[yardwork]

9. Founder of the Blue Dog Coalition - DINOs.

Tanner was always going to support Hillary. Hell, he'll probably vote for McCAin in the general.

11. "Another"? What's that make.... 7 since Feb 5? To Obama's 80+?

[Jamastiene]

18. Let 0Bamababies continue to act the way they are acting

and the rug will slip right out from under them one Superdelegate and one vote at the time.

22. sorry, little hillybot

the SDs have been strongly going for Obama since Super Tuesday, and Obama got Governor Henry's endorsement today. hilly has alienated an awful lot of SDs. All she really won in PA is a reprieve. she's still done.

[MattBaggins]

20. Dead to me

this guy is dead to me

Who is he again?
