Paul Kirk, Ex-DNC Chair And Superdelegate, To Endorse Obama

ABC's the note says Obama will roll out the endorsement of another DNC ex-chair today.

Speaking of math -- the Obama campaign rolls out another former DNC chairman's endorsement on Friday: Paul Kirk, a superdelegate who led the party from 1985-1989, is coming out for Obama -- a day after Andrew's switch, an Obama campaign official tells The Note. (And don't count on that being it for the day, as the dribble continues.)

If Clinton, D-N.Y., can make this is a race yet, we're about to find out just how patient Democrats can be with a race that's showing signs of shredding the party. Notwithstanding moves by Andrew, Kirk, and the like, Clinton needs superdelegates to wait for her case to play out -- and then she needs an utter and total rejection of the Democratic frontrunner.

Yesterday Joe Andrew, former DNC Chair under Bill Clinton, withdrew his support from Sen Clinton and endorsed Obama. Read why Joe decided to switch to an Obama endorsement.

Political Wire notes that Obama after the last two days, Obama has pulled ahead in endorsements from former DNC chairs:

For those keeping score, The Hotline notes that of the 11 living Democratic National Committee chairs between 1981 and 2005, six have endorsed Sen. Barack Obama and four have backed Sen. Hillary Clinton.

Only former Colorado Gov. Gov. Roy Romer has remained neutral.

"ABC reporter Jake Tapper on Wednesday night undermined Hillary Clinton's campaign trail tale blaming the Bush administration for allowing a Valparaiso, Indiana manufacturer of magnets for smart-bombs to move to China, costing 200 jobs and giving the technology to the communist regime. Tapper, however, pointed out that the sale occurred in 1995 and was approved by....the Clinton administration. “Senator Clinton decries how the company Magnequench moved from Indiana to China in 2003,” Tapper reported, “but there's one key part of the story Senator Clinton tends to leave out: Her husband's role.”

Still "misspeaking" ....I don't want a president I can not trust.
Change WE can believe in...vote Obama

TO ALL THE OBAMA SUPPORTERS:

Since the media is refusing to reveal/report the Paul vs Clinton fraud case in court right now, we need to create our own movement and flood every blog on CNN and every blogging website on the World Wide Web with information from the case regardless of what the topic is. For those that don't know - Google Paul vs Clinton and hold on to your shirt with what you read!!

OBAMANACS UNITE!!! LET'S DO THIS!!

[poco767]

Ok everyone, I don't want to have to do this again.
Both the Rezco and Peter Paul cases will go nowhere.
who ever wins the nomination will get hit by the RNC because of their respective court case.
Stop doing the Republicans job for them, suck it up, and get ready to welcome whoever the democratic nominee is, and beat McCain.
Campaign hard, but stop channeling the spirit of Rove, it doesn't become you.

[SunnyDay]

Don't worry, that will come out big time if she is chosen the candidate. Obama is trying not to wreck the party with Clinton dirt aired in public. Unlike Hillary who is clawing and scratching her way to the nomination at every opportunity.

[dtrain51]

Thank you brabra, I've been e-mailing every network news and cable news trying to get someone to listen, and I will continue to do so, this si to big of a story to try and swept under the rug, so brabra keep up the good work

[johnqdemocrat]

If she does somehow steal the nomination, the Peter Paul trial would move to the front burner. It would make Rezko and Rev. Wright look like a kid's birthday party in comparison.

Thanks to the grown ups in our party! Keep those endorsements coming.

Each one (of the few) Shrill gets blows it w/ a gay slur or gender slur.

I am more than a little pissed off. I was going to make Eight Belles my longshot tomorrow on Derby Day. Then not only did Our Lady of the bad pantsuit disrupt the traffic on my street by stopping by her campaign office....­.disruptin­g traffic on the day of our Pegasus Parade, but she asked everyone to put a little money on the filly.

Happy Derby, everybody, wish you were here!

[Testtubebaby]

Yeah, Of course with my 109 million, I'm going to put a little sumpthin sumpthin down and so should you. Take your gas money, go ahead place a bet, since you may be one pay check from not being employed anyway.

That BY ITSELF would have sunk Obama had he made those comments.

[dtrain51]

well it on tape, but she will say she was having a senior moment, she really is beginning to sound and look like John McCain, Who I truly beleive has PDS and is in the first stage of Alzheimer.

[ksyellowdog]

what is PDS? Do you mean Post Traumatic Stress Disorder?

[markusmarkus]

Yup, sounds like "God bless us" to me.

[Monsi]

Did the Democrats won the election when these guys were the DNC Chair?

Uhmmmm!!!

[MiddleRoad1]

They didn't when Clinton was President

[momofsix]

What difference does that make? they are superdelegates and each have a vote.

[Boringat]

A silver stake through the harridan's heart will be needed.

[JiminNC]

Hillary, here's a kewpie doll, thanks for playing.

[pertello]

Bye Bye Hillary!!!!!!!!!
