La. SuperD Endorses Hillary [Update: +1 in NY!]

by TexasDarlin, Mon Jun 02, 2008 at 02:23:50 PM EST

Louisiana Democratic Party Chair and Automatic Delegate Chris Whittington endorsed Hillary Clinton for President Monday:

"Hillary Clinton has what it takes to turn around our economy and rebuild the middle class," Whittington said. "There is no question that she is the strongest Democrat to go toe-to-toe with John McCain in a general election. It is our responsibility as automatic delegates to choose the candidate we believe best fit to beat Senator McCain. That candidate is Senator Clinton." (emphasis added)

Whittington was elected Chairman of the Louisiana Democratic Party in January 2006, after serving as the Party's Legal Counsel, as a member of the Democratic State Central Committee and as a member of the Democratic Party Executive Committee.

Certainly Whittington's endorsement sends a strong signal that NOT ALL automatic delegates buy into the message being pushed by Media, some DNC elite, and Camp Obama that we should all automatically "unite" behind Obama, that the race is over. Apparently it is NOT over. If so, why would any Superdelegate still be announcing support for Senator Clinton? Why not just stay quiet, or wait until the convention?

UPDATE: New York Superdelegate Delegate Endorses Hillary!

Tompkins County Democratic Committee Chair and New York automatic delegate Irene Stein announced her support for Hillary Clinton today.

Wow -- 2 superdelegates for Senator Clinton on the eve of Obama's supposed "victory party?" I guess not everyone is prepared to hop on board the Unity Express just yet...

Congratulations, Senator Clinton!

Re: La. SuperD Endorses (2.00 / 1)

Listen It is over okay. But as an obama supporter I'm trying hard to let the grassroot see she is an asset on the VP ticket.

and I have to apologize to you hillary supporters because of the conduct of some younger , emotionally vested supporters from our camp. Just like you have some in yours they may say things off the cuff... but true blue folks want your respect and vote in NOV. and your candidate is worthy of every respect.

lets not forget Bill Clinton won Louisiana twice, with his biggest win there in 1996 being 52-38. Its therefore winnable again with Hillary as our nominee.

it always translates. Yes, I and a lot of other people are, repeat, ARE voting for her because of who she is married to. Got a problem? i'm not of the ultra-pantsuit type, but I think she'd be a better President because she has Bill near her, and already espouses some of his electoral strengths

Hillary to concede tomorrow (2.00 / 3)

Hillary Clinton has summoned top donors and backers to attend her speech tomorrow night in an unusual move that is being widely interpreted to mean she plans to suspend her campaign and endorse Barack Obama.

Hillary will become one of Barack's most vocal and effective advocates. TexasDarlin will probably be moving her hate speech over to free republic with the Hillaryis44 and No quarter crowd.

Bill says it's over (2.00 / 2)

Bill Clinton: 'This May Be the Last Day I'm Ever Involved in a Campaign of This Kind'

ABC News' Sarah Amos Reports: Speaking to a crowd in Milbank, SD former President Bill Clinton admitted that today could be the last time he has such an active role in presidential politics.

"I want to say also that this may be the last day I'm ever involved in a campaign of this kind. I thought I was out of politics, 'til Hillary decided to run. But it has been, one of the greatest honors of my life to go around and campaign for her for president," said Clinton as he began his speech.

by hankg on Mon Jun 02, 2008 at 02:45:57 PM EST

Re: Bill says it's over (none / 0)

You don't seem to read very closely. Bill never said it's over. He said it may be the last day I'm ever involved in a campaign. Read carefully.

Re: Bill says it's over (2.00 / 1)

So he would quit campaigning for Hillary if she were to win the nomination?

I can believe he misspoke, but if you take him at his words then it would seem to be he is saying that today is his last day of campaigning.

Why would he quit campaigning if Hillary was still in the race?
