Two former New Jersey governors, Jim Florio and Brendan Byrne, endorsed Mrs. Clinton last year, but they were only selected to be their state’s add-on delegates Thursday....
Representative Betty Sutton of Ohio also came out in support of Mrs. Clinton. The district she represents is in northeastern Ohio.
“I have had the opportunity to engage in significant discussions with Senator Clinton about the concerns and hopes of the people I am so honored to represent,” Ms. Sutton said in a news release. “She has demonstrated a keen understanding of the pressing issues, such as the need to create economic opportunity for working families right here in Northeast Ohio.”

No she got one more a delegate named EastGuy who is really a former Weather Underground member from what I remember. I might be wrong. Isn't this the way the Clinton campaign does it? If I am wrong I stand corrected and apologize to East Guy. |

According to First Read with these pick ups, Clinton is now +2 since Super Tuesday while Obama is +65. If I was a Clinton supporter, that's not something I'd crow about. |

Another superdelegate announced today (4-19) for Obama. Neb. Democratic State Chairman Steve Achelpohl. That gives Obama 5 of the 6 Neb. SDs, the other remains uncommitted.

Yeah, she's not perfect, but at least she's electable.
I'm ready for a black president. But why does it have to be this guy?
I was hoping for someone with the solid character represented by folks like Morgan Freeman, Sidney Poitier, Louis Gosset, Jr. maybe Denzel Washington ...
Not an an airy-fairy leftist flake. Sorry if I offend.

You can be as offensive as you wish. It appears you can't vote here, anyway. I am sure you don't care what we have to say about the political system in the UK., either. But you sure do sound ignorant w/ your list of Hollywood leading men. This election is not about black or white . . . it is about qualifications and philosophy and leadership.  |

True. However, Obama is neither qualified or displays leadership qualities. And his philosophy is just plain scary. |

He's more qualified that Republican-lite Hillary. Obama has spent more time in public office than the lying Terror of Tuzla. Being first lady (a ceremonial position) doesn't count for a damn thing. |

Agreed!
He has zero leadership capabities and displays very poor judgement.
Add that to the fact he is a racist man which the media is covering up and you have yourself a total disaster waiting to happen.
Hopefully the super delegates will be smarter then the Obama followers and see this man for what he really is and go to Clinton.
I do not like her either but she is far better then he will ever be.
Not to worry, every day that goes by we find out something new about this man and none of it is good news.
We are clinging to our guns and our church just like clings to his racist church and ties to the people who are bitter and angry about things that happen 50+ years ago. Why doesnt he talk about how bitter and angry his friends are? Uhmmm. They are the bitter ones. |
