Dodd to Endorse Obama

Big deal, he needs all the support he can get. The focus is now on Nader, finally an independant jumps in to throw the democratic election. Bush is right, a Republican will be in office for four more, thanks Obama.

I will vote for McCain before I vote for Obama!

SJ – Why do you think the media coverage has been so lopsided?
I think it has something to do with 1) Hillary coming into this campaign as a known attack dog, who ran the White House political war room during an impeachment, and 2) her campaign’s heavy handed dealing with the media.
The first makes her a vulnerable candidate. The second makes me question her staff’s competence.

Si Se Puede…Now if Johnny Edwards would just return to the sandbox with all the toys, perhaps we can all play. Most people know if Edwards campaign had a drop of truth there is only one endorsement he can go with…unless Hillary promised the ranch!!!

This is not news. Dodd supported him during the Conn. primary. This is just political timing. I always liked Dodd. It is unfortunate that he is a man of his word. Why? Because he is now stuck to someone who is finally being scrutinized and the results are not good. Examples: The 19 year relationship with Rezko. (His bail was revoked because of his connection with a Middle East billionaire Adhmi.) Also, more information is coming out about the reverend of Obama’s church and the association with Farrakhan. In addition, Obama is known to have received donations from William Ayers when first running for office. (William Ayers is the founder of the notorious “Weathermen”. Ayers and Dohrn are best known as two of the most notorious figures during the 1960 anti-war movement. Is Obama guilty by association or simply has been very naive

Paul my view is that the media favored Obama because they want to help McCain thinking that is the easier candidate to beat especially at first when Hillary had all the support.
Due to the media constant attacks and highlights of every thing that Hillary has said or done she has taking a beating at the polls, but I believe that the media has underestimated the problems they have created in this.
What they have done is pushed Obama into a position where the public is now drunk on it, and in the end whenever the media decides to try to turn the screws on Obama to assist McCain it may well be to late for that. The media in trying to assist McCain has now drowned him with the Obama wave, its too late to turn back the clock now they caused it so whatever happens in this election I hope they are all willing to live with it for the next 4 years.

Wow!!!! Thats a game closer right there.
What did Dodd get…2 votes?

I was a Dodd supporter until he unfortunately dropped out after Iowa. I’m still depressed that his campaign never made it beyond the 2nd tier.
I spoke to Senator Dodd a week ago and suspected that he was headed in this direction. At that time I didn’t care who won. I just knew that I would vote for whomever was the nominee. Now, because my respect for Chris Dodd is infinite, I am officially on the Obama train.

Why is this being advertised in the media and not the Farrakan endorsement?

Everybody in America has the right to an opinion, even Farrakan, so it is HIS opinion, what can you do about it? Shut him down??
Besides for those of you who are just common citizens as I am, BEWARE of those false bloggers planting lies everywhere, trying to spread false ideas until they become facts!
Take a look, the abbreviation is “oppos” and they will play any dirty trick available to smear the opponent, sounds familiar??

We really need John Edwards to endorse Obama. Please, Senator Edwards, if you’re listening, please endorse Senator Obama! Soon! Before March 4!

While Hillary flays around trying to find something to attack she needs to understand that the world is watching.
On Obama’s site there are comments from people in England, France and Germany expressing their unhappiness that they cannot contribute to the Obama campaign.
When they can’t they leave messages about how much they want to see Obama as the next Commander in Chief.

President Barack Obama will restore America’s esteem in the world. The world is already in love with him. They are cheering for him in Europe in Africa in Asia in South America.
After 8 years of the current administration stirring up record anti-Americanism and tarnishing our global standing, Barack Obama represents a wonderful opportunity for America to be loved again.

Thanks Mr. Dodd. Obama is the hope of the entire World. He is going to undo the demage caused with our relationship abroad.

Who cares! Dodd is a nobody! The press is really stretching to try to find something good to say about Hussein. They ignore the fact that Hillary spoke in New Orleans and in DC giving very important talks about REAL issues. Plus, she has gotten endorsements from national heroes such as John Glenn, and strong women such as Maya Angelou and Ellen Degeneres which are much more important that Dodd any day. Strong women everywhere unite for Hillary! HILLARY 2008!!!

McCain is in the back pocket of the Lobbyist and specialist interest Squad.
McCain has seen his best days.
Obama wins General Election.

Dodd’s reasons for endorsing Obama now, and talking about the division of the party and coming together? Isn’t he the one in an earlier debate who said that Hillary was not electable? Was that an attempt to match Obama saying she is not trustworthy? Isn’t he a close friend of Ted Kennedy who got Obama in the race to begin with? There, now we have three northeastern liberals (Kennedy, Kerry, and Dodd) who must not like white southern men (Bill Clintom, Jimmy Carter, and Al Gore) who were nominated and were elected President. Kennedy, Kerry, and Dodd are the also-rans who do not want to see a woman in the White House. And what about that picture of Obama in Muslim dress? They fear he is being picked on? By whom, his own camp who wants more feigned bias like the race card they pulled before the South Carolina Primary?
If Dodd thinks that all the Democrats who support Hillary are going to throw in the towel and support Obama, he is dreaming. They can pick and preen any candidate they want, but, it does not make all the rest of us gullible and ready to make unwise choices. We listen to the debates, read and study the issues, and we are not buying it. Democratic values matter, but, not at the expense of choosing someone so inexperienced and unprepared as Obama. George Bush’s first four years in the White house were a hard lesson. The last 3-4 years even harder. Keep it up Hillary! You are the best candidate in the race. Let the rest of the states decide, then let the “wisdom” of the party elders face the music and show us how wise they are.
It could be a prelude to formation of another party or a write-in vote!

I’m amazed at the level of invective that is being spewed between obviously intelligent and passionate people. WHOEVER wins to become president is going to need help. Someone said ” A President lends the country,not run it”
There is one true thing,each of the candidate loves this country. If you.re going to criticize Obama for lack of experience,than you can also criticize Clinton for her lack of budgeting skills( looking at how her camp-pain money is being spent.) and you can question McCains comments about admition abouthis lack of understanding on economics. What I trying to say is it not good for us as fellow Americans to turn on each other while the world watches.

for the record? i hate all that “yes we can” stuff. all the cheerleading. i just hate it. but.. BUT.. i have to get over it and just look at my choices of who won’t LOSE IT IN THE WHITE HOUSE! and … as far as i can tell, it’s Sen Obama. i like his steadiness. i like how smart he is. I like that he is ready to throw all of us baby boomers (yes… i am right smack dab in the middle of that generation) out of the pool if we are going to cling to our old baggage! this is a NEW WORLD… and its time we start acting like it. i mean… really… who in the world says XEROX any more? women over 70? seriously… that was as embarrassing as when GEORGE BUSH tried to give the german prime minister a back rub!

I was a Edwards backer until he left. I am now a Oboma supporter and will remain so but I too wish that Edwards would come out for Oboma.When he does I think everyone will breath a sigh of relief.It ewould also be great if Richardson would get behind Oboma. These are great men and I hope Oboma makes good use of them when he wins in November.

Obama is going to have to WIN over the support of Hillary Democrats. It’s not going to be easy.
Aside from the hatred between the two sides, the one thing I notice most about Obama is his misogynist traits. He’s always dismissed Hillary’s concerns as if they don’t exist. Now he mentioned the word “silly” when referring to her. Isn’t that how women are dismissed…by being such a silly women her fears couldn’t be real?
Anyway, that’s what he is doing.

I can’t believe the idiocy of most of these comments, especially the one by Ben about Obama being a mysogynist. His reference to “silly” had to do with the “silly politics” of trying to push this plagarism issue of “just words. And right he was to take that stand. Even if you think he is dismissive of Hillary (apropos, no more than she is of him), that does not equate to hating women. If you don’t like him that is fine, but please forgo the attempt to make “grass from hay”

I find his actions misogynist too. Like him pulling out the chair for Hillary. Like she can’t pull her own chair out for herself. Please! At the last debate he almost pulled her chair out from under her. How rude! He is also arrogant to say that he has “no doubt” that he can get Hillary’s votes. There is no way I am voting for him. How presumptive is that? HILLARY 2008!

Heather McDonald – I’ll vote for any woman EXCEPT this woman. And, of course, I AM a woman, but a wise one.
