Clinton, Obama get endorsements in Washington

go HILLARY!!!!!

jfk - '60
wjc - 92
bho - '08

if the dem party is the party of women, these three tall, handsome, young men are their leading men.

it's not quite sexist; it's just hollywood

hillary is just the big sister with all the brains.

I wholeheartedly endorse Hillary Clinton for President. I am a white male senior citizen and a veteran of the armed forces serving my country during Vietnam and the Cuban Missle Crisis. We need a qualified person day one to take over the mess from George Bush. Hillary is that person!!!

What, no mention of a Ted Kennedy or John Kerry or Tom Daschle endorsement?

Oh, they have all gone back to the sixties and can't be reached.

What, no Caroline or Ethel or Maria endorsement. Same thing, back in the sixties and can't be reached.

Hillary Clinton gets the endorsement of all Democrats who want health care coverage for everyone. Unlike the Obama plan which still leaves million without coverage.

congressman and senators are speaking intelligently, thank God!
Obama is a charming speaker and talks big. i love to listen to him. I am unable to find much substance in his words though? Can he deliver an ounce of what he is promising? We already have a charmer in the white house. look what he has lead us into? Obama, go get a TV show. You'll give Oprah run for her money.
America doesn't need more emptiness (in head or words).
At most - lets have Clinton Obama ticket. that will gove Obama some time to get some real experience. He can get away with his favorite stance of "present' instead of taking a side (read decision) for the most part. as a vice president, he doesn't need to vote unless there is a tie right? :)

I lived on the Olympic Peninsula for seven years. Norm Dicks is a Republican in Democratic garb. I find it hilarious that he is supporting Clinton, and not the least bit surprising. Chris Gregoire, on the other hand, is a great Democrat and is a great governor for our state. Its GREAT that Obama got her support and it means a heck of a lot. People in WA aren't stupid; Obama will win the state!!

What if Hillary wins the presidency - are we going to find skeletons in the previous Clinton administrations in Hillary? More scandals ?

Clinton is much to polarizing to ever win the presidency imo, although I would still vote for her over any of the remaining GOP candidates. I just have this great impression of Barack that makes him my #1 choice. He is a breath of fresh air for this country, and a lot of people are buying into his message.

What is really interesting is how he is leveraging the Internet to get a lot more contribution $$$. Clinton has a lot more lobbyists in her pocket, but Barack has more money! Check out this study on grass roots support, it is very interesting:

I remember watching the run up to the wer in Iraq. It was obvious to me that we were going to war. I remember Hillary Clinton voting for the war. I remember watching her speech defendidngher vote. It was painful then and it is painful now. Hillary did not vote hoping that George Bush was going to negotiate. If she didn't know we were going to war, I certainly did. The Iraq war is a huge blunder and Hillary voted for it, Obama was against the war. Obam has better judgement.
I endorse Obama

"Hillary Clinton gets the endorsement of all Democrats who want health care coverage for everyone. Unlike the Obama plan which still leaves million without coverage."
Hillary proposes a mandated health care system that will require people to pay out of pocket for health insurance whether they want it or not and whose wages will be garnished if they don't. There are subsidies, but these will not cover everyone as there will no doubt be a moving bar of "whose poor or not." Fact.
secondly, it would be hugely hypocritical on Obama's part to join along with establishment-Clinton. So, this so called "dream ticket" they keep pushing, is a terrible idea. Not to mention the fact that in almost all recent polls, Obama beats McCain, in a hypothetical election whereas, HIllary loses.

yup we sure need someone who changes her views and is only interested in power and is a puppet to her husband YEHAA

I'm for Hillary, but I wouldn't mind Obama. What I don't understand is why people think Obama is so great. Great speaking doesn't mean a lot. Every candidate in every election promises change. Hillary has a long time record. Obama has very little. So, go Hillary.

Just for the record Golden Girls, Obama voted "Present" less than .03% of the time. It is a common strategic practice in the Illinois Senate. Please give it a rest.

Or do we want to keep talking about whitewater, travel gate, and all the pro-George Bush foreign policy vote that Hillary has cast?

You Obama "fans" aren't playing your cards right. If you just back the heck down and psuh for his Vice Presidency, you could potentially get sixteen years of Obama. But no, you don't want that, you want to rush it and stick a KID into a position that requires a MATURE person. We're essentially hiring this person for a job--an IMPORTANT job--so tell me this: if these two people were standing in front of you with their resumes in hand and you had a certain set of qualifications you needed to meet, who would you pick? Would you pick the kid with a short resume, or would you pick the older person with the longer resume/qualifications? Or are you going to discriminate against her because she's "overqualified" and risk your company's future?

WAKE UP AMERICA!!!! HILLARY WILL NEVER WIN AGAINST JOHN MCCAIN. I GUESS YOU ALL WANT 4 MORE YEARS OF THE REPUBLICAN RULE!!!!!

I AM NOT A SUPPORTER OF THE OBAMA CAMPAIGN, I AM A VERY PRAGMATIC OBSERVER. DEMOCRATS ARE GOING TO LOSE THE ELECTION IF MRS CLINTON IS NOMINATED. YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT!!!!!

WAKE UP AMERICA!!!! MRS. CLINTON WILL NEVER WIN AGAINST JOHN M.; THAT IS JUST A FACT. I AM NO SUPPORTER OF THE OBAMA CAMPAIGN AND I AM FAR FROM BEING A SEXIST. I AM JUST A PRAGMATIC OBSERVER.

THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY STANDS A BETTER CHANCE BY NOMINATING OBAMA, WHICH AT THIS JUNCTURE, I DO NOT SEE HAPPENING. THUS, WE WILL HAVE 4 MORE YEARS OF THE REPUBLICAN RULE!!!!!!

Hillary & Bill's roots are firmly in Arkansas.
Why did they decide to move to New York? Could it be so that Hillary could run for a senate seat, then run for president?
Why choose New York, well look at the number of delegates from New York alone, then New Jersey is usually onboard with New York because many people commute between these two states for work.
Hillary & Bill have been planning this run since before the Monica scandal.
I am a Democrat, and I've never had a major problem with the Clintons, but the way that they have attacked Obama leading up to the South Carolina primary, geatly offended me. They made it a lot easier to choose between the Clintons and Obamas.

I am a supporter of Obama.

I respect a candidate that can speak for himself and not rely on the thoughts of their spouse ie Clinton.

Considering the appalling foreign policy of the Clinton Administration (made worse under Bush) it's time America had a fresh face that can put America back as a respected nation rather than a loathed one.

I am British and have lived in, and love America. Sometimes it takes friends to point out where you are going wrong. Hillary would be a disaster for America. McCain or Obama would be far better in the world than returning to the Clinton incompetence that brought is the mess in Somalia and the Yugoslavia fiasco's.

Dump Hillary and America stands a chance of saving itself.

Yes, Obama has been in for less time than Clinton. And in that short time he has accomlished many admirable things. For example, as a member of the Veterans Affairs committe, he has fought to ensure that veterans get the disability pay they have been promised. He travelled to Russia with Republican Dick Lugar to work for nuclear non-proliferation. And, most importanly he helped to pass much needed ethics reform to clean up the Abramoff style politics in Washington. He is not "just an inexperience kid." It's more than just personality and amazing rhetorical skills--he can also walk the walk. OBAMA '08!!!!!

This African-American is for Hillary all the way.

HOPE IS FREE EXPERIENCE YOU EARN. YES WE CAN IS AN EMPTY SLOGAN, EXPERIENCE CAN BRING CHANGE AND RESULTS. VOTE HILLARY CLINTON.

Anyone who keeps clamoring that Obama has no detailed plans really needs to learn how to use the internet. He has very specific plans on his website. http://www.barackobama.com/issues/ I'm so sick of people drinking the kool-aid of talking points, ready from day 1, all talk, present votes. Stop shaking your heads and do some research. She voted for Iraq and now is against it, voted for Kyl/Lieberman (Iran Resolution) and now is against it, she voted for the Bankruptcy Bill and now is against it. Doesn't this sound familiar "Flip-flop". Then there are policies like NAFTA, which blew away our middle class manufacturing jobs. The amazing thing is that as far as torture goes, she's actually to the right of McCain and thinks it is justified in certain circumstances. Her health care plan cannot pass a Senate without a filibuster proof majority and even then it is a long shot. How many swing district congressman are endorsing Hillary? All of her super delegate endorsements are from democrats who are in very secure districts. This is not a coincidence. Which red state is Hillary going to win that Kerry didn't? Please enlighten me. She doesn't have any crossover appeal. How many Republicans for Clinton people do you know? She is such a polarizing figure that the GOP will unite and come out in record numbers to not allow a third Clinton term, in spite of the fact that they don't like McCain. If we want to lose again, I suppose we can keep divorcing ourselves from reality and think she'll be able to turn a state from the last election.

Whoever came up with the idea that Hillary is polarizing is nuts ! I think it is a complete untruth and mislabeling.Also her clothes,shoes and hair are fine with me.She will get my respect with my vote.You go Hillary ! Oh,by the way,John F-
Kennedy Jr.,Kathleen Kennedy and Kerry Kennedy endorses Hillary .Ted and Caroline are not the only Kennedys around.Hillary 08,I can't wait !

I will choose the candidate of "experience" no matter their political positions. Right now, only two candidates have a satisfactory amount of experience in my opinion- Hillary Clinton and John McCain. I have supported both of these candidates in their respective primaries. If these two are the eventual nominees, I will not support one over another in the General Election. However if Huckabee is nominated, I will support Clinton. If Obama is nominated, I will support McCain. And if Obama and Huckabee are nominated, I will support Huckabee.

DEMOCRAT FOR REPUBLICAN OVER OBAMA

Barack Obama is the ideal candidate, not just the lesser of two evils.

Is chronological age equivalent to experience? We are still reeling from the repercussions of the Clinton years where Mrs. Clinton was a prominent player in drafting policy, Mrs. Clinton was the First Lady for 8 years and is presently a Senator, but that does not translate to successful implementation of her programs. If anything we should be concerned about her POOR JUDGMENT (Iraq vote and refusal to acknowledge error).

Obama's creative campaign, his history with accomplishing goals and his ability to inspire others to do things for themselves is a great asset to the next president. Obama has maintained a campaign of integrity despite cheap shots from the Clintons. Obama is a person that will impact this world in ways yet unknown and mostly positive, Look at the inspiration he has brought to young people who are once again vested in the political process. Bravo Obama!

Well now lets see... if Obama had kept Bill Clinton's name out of his mouth (albeit while praising Ronald Reagan no less), then Clinton wouldn't have had the wherewithall to go @ him like he did! Obama is an undercover republican and as far as the republican candidates telling the media that they would rather face Hillary Clinton because it would "unite" the republican party.......REVERSE PSYCOLOGY 101 PEOPLE!!! By saying that they're hoping to get Barack nominated because they know Hillary would beat McCain hands down! McCain is a Bush leftover and btw....does 100 years in Iraq ring a bell?? Barack gets a free pass from the media, GO HILLARY!!

I am a white middle aged woman, wife and mother of five with a graduate degree who is supporting Senator Obama for President. I also happen to be a Republican. Obama appeals to me and others in my circle because we feel frustrated by the evolution and destructive force of vengeful partisan politics in Washington DC. Do her words "vast right-wing conspiracy" ring a bell? Senator Clinton is definitely a force for more isolationism and more of the same polarization of parties, when our country and our world clearly seek a unifying force for principled decision making. Our future depends on globally unifying leadership. Senator Clinton's speech to supporters following Super Tuesday was politically divisive and very telling. I do believe her when she says she will be ready on "Day One." She will be righting old wrongs and fitting in with the current partisan political and special interest machine. Obama's alleged lack of experience with the political underpinnings of our nation's capital therefore is a definite refreshing plus.
