Superdelegates Shift To Obama

UPDATE: Obama has picked up another superdelegate from Oregon.

Barack Obama has picked up a series of superdelegates this morning, one of which at the expense of Sen. Clinton.

Today, two California superdelegates endorsed Obama, Reps. Jim Costa and Dennis Cardoza. Cadoza has previously endorsed Hillary Clinton.

In addition, two of John Edwards' New Hampshire delegates, who have since been designated as unpledged delegates, endorsed Obama.

Cardoza:

"This is the most important election of my lifetime. While I continue to greatly respect and admire Senator Clinton and feel she has made history with her campaign, I believe that Senator Obama will inevitably be our party's nominee for President. He has proven himself to be a thoughtful, knowledgeable, and inspirational leader and will take America in a new direction, which we desperately need."

Costa:

"In my conversations with Senator Obama, I explained to him that our San Joaquin Valley is the number one agricultural region in the country and in the world. Before the election in November, he needs to come to our Valley and understand the water challenges we face, the diversity of our farm crops, and the combination of the wonderful ethnic communities that make up Valley families, which is truly a reflection of our nation."

Tasteless,Shameful,Idiotic .......Desperation by the hours!

[NationsFinest]

Pretty telling. Power is dope, and Hillary is an addict.

[Ariesjill]

No, as the real quote from the Bible re money....it is LUST for power that is the most toxic of all agents and root of much evil....tho this one could win sumthin, no doubt about it..

[broadbrush]

No wonder AnnCoulter likes Hillary.They are so much alike. The right-
3/5 Limbaugh and Coulter & Co. prefer Hillary to McCain. Operation Chaos
is not a scam but an all out push for Hillary by defenders of the status quo.

[Marlyn]

"No wonder AnnCoulter likes Hillary." ???

The only thing Ann Coulter likes about Hillary is that she would be easy for the GOP to beat.

[pacats]

Do not give Hillarys comments any legs.

[ThunderclapNewman]

And don't give Hillary's legs any comments.

[Yohomegirl]

LMAO! But on a more serious note, watch out for gun toting grannies!

[lvdragonlady]

Does she have legs?

[Ariesjill]

OK guys, let us let HER wallow at the bottom of the barrel....if every no cheap shots were needed....it is now in this. Aspire to Obamaness.

Hillary agreed! Well, you see what she thinks of words!

[2351]

It sounds to me that she is telling some nut to assasinate him. Something is wrong with her.

[Ariesjill]

Again, FOR THE GAZILLIONTH TIME, it is official Narcissistic Personality Disorder. I will paste the symptoms. And let us remember--FOR ALL TIME....the posterperson for this truly serious pathology....has managed to run for the nomination of President of the United States of Amerca and is STILL holding us hostage!

Symptoms
Reacts to criticism with feelings or rage, shame or humiliation
Takes advantage of others to achieve own goals
Self-important
Exaggerates achievements and talents
Preoccupation with fantasies of success, power, beauty, intelligence, or ideal love
Unreasonable expectations of favorable treatment
Requires constant attention and admiration
Exhibits jealousy of others

[liseworks]

All of these traits point to a resulting : inability to see the "rationale" in situations -
Hence, her refusing to accept that someone other than her is EVIDENTLY going to be President.

[ObamAtomic]

Sick to my stomach,this botchy
person,knowing full well our history
playing with codes words to INCITE violence!
Clinton's please go away, all of you,please!

[brioli]

has anyone heard about her comment about the assassination of Bobby Kennedy? absolutely disgusting!!!!!!!! Now, I really don't like her!

[JeffWasHere]

I read a joke on another blog about why Obama would not choose her as VP, because he would prefer to have a VP that would not be planning his assassination during his first 100 days in office. Apparently Hillary wants it to happen much sooner than that. How in heaven and/or earth could she bring up Bobbie Kennedy's assassination? I'm sorry, but if something happens to Barack Obama between now and the Democratic National Convention: 1) Hillary is getting the blame; and 2) the delegates should pick anyone else but Hillary to be the nominee--she will not have a majority of delegates to begin with, so they will be free to choose anyone they want. Every uncommitted superdelegate should declare for Barack Obama today. Hillary has just taken dirty politics to a brand new level.

[lvdragonlady]

I can total relate to that kind of thinking. Why would I want a VP that would stop at nothing to be pres?

[Testtubebaby]

I really hope people don't be so cavalier because it won't be that easy if anything happens to that man. Yall need to wake up.

[Freedomscap]

Clinton's words are meaningless. As if, two terms with Bush lying to the American people isn't enough. That Argus Leader TV is neat.

[williamg]

Video of Hillary speaking to the newspaper editorial board about why she shouldn't get out, and her bringing up assassination of RFK.

http://www.breitbart.tv/html/101403.html

[dumboldfarmer]

That is sick. No other words can describe that statement.

[OlderBudWeiser]

Really shocking and disgusting! Notice the little giggle. She usually does it when she is lying, but in this context, she'd better hope and pray nothing happens to Barack Obama. She has already left plenty of bodies along her bloody trail.

[Yohomegirl]

I think that The Clintons are now focussed on the 2012 presidential race. Divide and conquer this one, get Obama to take the blame for another four years of murder and mayhem at the hands of McCain, and look for a comeback of Hillary. All of America suffers with this strategy, but won't Hillary be in a good position in 2012

[McPander]

2012....................LMAO

[Thabit]

i have to agree with McPander on this i dont think she could win her senate seat in NY if she had to run for it this year . She'll never get the Black vote again nor will she get votes from anyone with a college degree . For that matter based on this campaign i doubt if she could swing the vote of women under 50 (nor a lot over 50 either) 2012-2212 are closed to her now

[ObamAtomic]

Clinton cards played so far:
Race,sex,education,class,murder,association,any more?

[williamg]

Didn't Hillary ask her superdelegates to hold tight, and promised that she wouldn't do anything that they might find embarrassing. I guess that went out the window with the whole assassination thing.

[gditty]

40 Superdelegates ready to move...

[Myshkin57]

If that's true, what are they waiting for? They should just do it and shut this thing down so we can work on beating McCain.

[dumboldfarmer]

They are hoping she will play nice. I wouldn't hold my breath, though.

[Braveheart1]

WTF! That's an extremely awful thing to say. There are some comments a decent person with core values would not let pass their lips!! This is one of them! I am absolutely sick of Hillary. How much more must we endure from her???

[Braveheart1]

Hit the wrong link. This was a reaction regarding Hillary's invoking of the Bobby Kennedy assassination as reported in the New York Post today.

[dawn2dusk]

It doesn't matter. Her comments today overwhelm all else, no matter what link you go to. I am so disgusted, I threw up in my mouth
