Richardson
Pena

This should tell the Super Delegates all they need to know!

A lot of people who know the Clintons best are supporting Obama.

1. Because they are sexist pigs who hate women and think they are only good for cooking and baby making

10. Here is my pledge to be nice for three days:
It may seem disingenuous, but I'm trying!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=6036200&mesg_id=6037156

I do pledge, for the next 3 days, to:

1. Not post anything negative about Hillary Clinton, even if it's simply a link to a news story
2. Not post anything that points to the superiority of Obama over Clinton. e.g., latest polls
3. Simply not respond to anti-Obama posts, or posts pointing to the superiority of Clinton over Obama

4. Actually, the Clintons have the support of a very tight network of friends.
Reich & Pena both have felt a little burned by the Clintons' ambitions in the past. Those aren't big surprises. Richardson was, altho cries of "Judas" were a little hysterical, given the fact that Richardson only supported a different Democrat rather than, say, set them up for crucifiction, which is the normal standard of Judas-goading.

5. I respect and like all 4 of them, Kansas voter
When Reich started talking good stuff about Obama last autumn I was listening. The fact that Reich thought Obama would be a good president influenced me.

7. It's not "the Clintons" it is Sen. Clinton
A lot of us would be content to see Bill return for another 4 years, but Lady Macbeth has had blood on her hands for 30 years or more.

Those who know her best are afraid of her.

8. The Clintons have the support of many people
including many foreign leaders. Both Bill and Hillary are loved the world over. They are hated only in their own country.

13. The people who have worked with her the closest over the past
7 years are her peers in the Senate. Many who know her well did not choose to endorse her. Kennedy, Kerry, Dodd, Leahy, Dorgan, Johnson, etc.

12. Some out of pressure (tired of being pressured). Some out of fear of the divisions.
