Former Clinton Supporter Switches to Obama
(CBS)
From CBS News’ Maria Gavrilovic:
COLUMBIA CITY, IND. -- Former Democratic National Committee chairman and former Hillary Clinton supporter, Joe Andrew, threw his support to Barack Obama today. Andrew, a superdelegate, said he made the switch from Clinton to Obama in effort to heal the Democratic Party.
“I am changing my support from Senator Clinton to Senator Obama, and doing so with a heavy heart about how this process has hurt the Democratic Party, but enlightened and energized by what I have seen from Senator Obama, particularly over the past days and weeks,” Andrew said.
Andrew said he is going to urge House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Ca., and Senator Harry Reid, D-Nev., to call upon other Democratic Party leaders to back Obama. According to CBS News estimates, more superdelegates have been endorsing Obama since the Pennsylvania primary – he has picked up 11 superdelegates since April 22nd, while Clinton has nabbed six. She still leads in the overall superdelegate count, however, 263 to 244, with 288 undecided.
As he tries to win the Indiana primary and wrap up the nomination, Obama continued to court voter blocks that usually side with Clinton. The day after he lost the Pennsylvania primary, Obama said that it is more difficult for him to win over older voters than it is to win over working class Democrats.
“The problem is that, to the extent there is a problem, is that the older voters are very loyal to Senator Clinton,” he said. “Part of that is they've got a track record of voting for not just Senator Clinton but also her husband.”
To try and counter that, Obama campaigned in a senior citizens home here today, frequently telling stories about his grandparents.
“The reason I’m running is because I’m here only because this country gave my grandparents, and my mother and me a chance,” Obama said. “They gave me a great education, they allowed my grandparents to save and build a family, that’s the American dream.”

While Hillary Clinton battles Barack Obama on the campaign trail, a judge in Los Angeles is quietly preparing to set a trial date in a $17 million fraud suit that aims to expose an alleged culture of widespread corruption by the Clintons and the Democratic Party.
The Clintons have tried to dismiss the case, but the California Supreme Court, in 2004, upheld a lower-court decision to deny the motion.

Barak is not all that experienced.
---------------
Neither is Hillary. And it does. Well, she''s got a lot of experience with LYING. Apparently she was raised that way.
If you want EXPERIENCE, VOTE FOR MCCAIN.
the state dom''t matter Ought
make things good with voters
Behold the ignorance of the average Hillary supporter. What a steaming pile of cr*ap this post was. typical of the mental illness of blind Hillary supporters, but still sad. Rowdy''s alter ego maybe?

No actually the number is 4 and they aren''t new ones. They are old endorsements from New York she''s had for awhile but withheld revealing until she could use the announcement to her political advantage to give herself a little boost. Joe Andrews however is not only a new one for Barack, but the loss of one for her since he switched over from her camp.
OBAMA is losing and can''t win the nomination.
These party elites are giving it to him. How ugly can it be!!!
Whenever a party is placing itself above the people, making choices for the people, it is not of the people, for the people and by the people.
It is a communist party in fact. They are fixing the election.

He''s won the most delegates, the most states (by far) and the popular vote. How is that losing?
She has her pride wrapped up in the whole thing now.
She was told more than a month ago that it was over. There was no way she could win. But she''d rather watch the house burn down than let someone else buy it.
Very sad.
...pretty poor judgement.....or just a great big liar.
Because he''s never had the popular vote, and never will. And the majority of states (16 of them) are red states that won''t carry him in Nov. The DNC knows this. That''s why he doesn''t have the nomination.
How can we trust her if she chooses such a man to be her pastor?

Hillary cried on TV when things were tough in NH during the campaign.
What is she going to do if there is a crisis at 3am, start blubbering like a baby. The last thing the U.S. needs is Hillary in the oval office getting emotional and showing weakness. If we are going to have a woman President we need our own iron lady will who will never show emotion under pressure.
America deserves a strong leader, not a cry baby !
The Federal Election Commission has just reported that her campaign debt is $15 million and not $10 million as the Clinton camp reported because she failed to list her $5 million loan among the debts.
This means that even after her new surge of fundraising, she is still $5 million in debt; but Hillary is still smiling; why? Because she knows that her $110 million fortune is nice and safe. It%u2019s the ordinary person on the street who is tricked into losing money on a campaign that is doomed to fail.
Mitt Romney put $42 million of his own money into his campaign, why doesn%u2019t Hillary show she has complete confidence in her campaign and put in some of her own millions. Why? Because she knows it%u2019s a lost cause.
Those of you who are fooled into contributing to her campaign ask yourself why she LOANS her own money but wants you to GIVE your money?
That OBAMA is winning the most states is a joke about blow ups in credential.
Not only he is losing, he is losing big.
Look at the polls. He is in a landslide.
Obama bragged he would stay close in Pennsylvania.
The people tell him, ''No, you don''t"
He gets blown out despite spending $11.2 million in advertisement.
They always place the party above people.
It sounds so familiar. Ah! This is from George Orwell, the Animal Farm.
The people don''t want OBAMA and the fanatics are trying to stick it down our throat. No you don''t.
The people determines the election, not the OBAMA fanatics, nor the party.

He does have the popular vote and you constantly lying about it isn''t going to change that. Really, you''re getting to sound like a buffoon constantly denying the truth. You say he''s called people racist, but you have no source for that either. What''s next? Are you going to started saying the sky is pokedotted and not blue? Where''s your source for your lies?

I don''t get someone else to add ''em up for me. I add them up myself. And guess what, she''s been ahead since Mississippi, and she''s even more ahead today!
Exactly! So why did his conduct include lying about Rev. Wright.
Nobody cares about the old gas bag Wright!
The problem is Obama LIED about it!
lol, Hillary''s been quite a successful person on her own...including her years in the White House supporting her husband.
Even without Bill, she would be doing just fine!
you shouldn''t be here voting,
you shouldn''t be a factor in choosing whom to be nominated,
you shouldn''t be voting at all
your votes are not important
your voices shouldn''t be heard
The primary is over.
For the good of the party, the people should take a backseat. The party are fixed on OBAMA. You are stupid to fight the party no matter how wrong they are.
The party are fixed on OBAMA.
---------------
That''s because HE''S WINNING.
More states. More delegates. More CREDIBILITY. HE''S THE BETTER CANDIDATE, you''re just so infatuated with Hillary that you didn''t notice.
Are you racist?
Have you noticed the type of people that is supporting Obama
-------------
Have you noticed the "type of people" that IS Hillary Clinton?
A non-stop liar, obnoxious, strident, arrogant, elitist and, lest we forget, DIVISIVE.
How STUPID do you have to be to vote for her? Most of her supporters are poor ignorant women who are voting for her just because SHE''S A WOMAN.
Are you racist?
Hahhaa! Grab your girdles girls, theres a sexist idiot in the house!
Obama is an anti-american, racist lying bigot...
----------------
Wow, nice name calling. Here, let me try.
Hillary is an anti-worker sexist lying jerk who expects us to believe she was only PRETENDING to support NAFTA while she was First Lady, and that she''ll do a better job THIS TIME on health care reform.
Or, can your pea brain remember back that far? Probably not...
Are you racist?
theres a sexist idiot in the house!
-----------
But if you log off, the sexist idiot will go away.
Are you racist?
Or they''re voting against Obama because they''re racist bigots.
Either way, most of Hillary''s supporters are poor and ignorant. Educated, successful voters are STAYING AWAY IN DROVES.
George W Bush: born 1946
John McCain: born 1936
Do we really want another Baby Boomer in the White House? Or do we want John McCain?
Do we want someone with less EXPERIENCE? Or do we want John McCain?
It''s really THAT SIMPLE!
according to fox, and BBC news, Iran''s ambassador to the U.N. said, mrs. clinton had "unwarantedly and under erroneous and false pretexts threatned to use force aginst the Islamic Republic of Iran. She is not even president and is stirring the pot already, w/ her mouth we really would be in trouble, she has no tact,and is brash and abrasive, Is this a person we can really trust to be in the white house, I think NOT. OBAMA 08
He urged Democrats to %u201Creject the old negative politics%u201D and unify behind Obama.
This attempt to demean Reverend Wright is a perfect example. Being white the Old Guard Clinton Campaign are hoping that old people like us will become intimidated. Become bitter, & negative concerning Obama & rally around Hillary our Great White Hope.
I was a Clinton supporter but have been much disappointed with this Negative polictics of Hillary''s. She claims to have 35 years experience in Washington and when I look at the polictics in Washington during this time. It was a very negative, hostile, & warring time. The all about me agenda.
I realize that she has made a small fortune 110,000,000 dollars practicing her polictics of personal destruction. Little has been done for the People during this time of Bitter rhetoric.
The special conciderations the Judge gave her in the Peter Paul case. Its becoming evident that the Clinton campaign is biased and getting special considerations from the Judical & Media. It''''s time to stop this policy of personal destruction and get back to doing the work of the American people. 35 years of negative polictics is not the answer. Chairman Joe Andrew has it right.
