New Backing for Obama As Party Seeks Unity
WSJ ^ | March 31, 2008 | JACKIE CALMES

WASHINGTON -- Slowly but steadily, a string of Democratic Party figures is taking Barack Obama's side in the presidential nominating race and raising the pressure on Hillary Clinton to give up.

Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota is expected to endorse Sen. Obama Monday, according to a Democrat familiar with her plans. Meanwhile, North Carolina's seven Democratic House members are poised to endorse Sen. Obama as a group -- just one has so far -- before that state's May 6 primary, several Democrats say.

Helping to drive the endorsements is a fear that the Obama-Clinton contest has grown toxic and threatens the Democratic Party's chances against Republican John McCain in the fall.

That's gonna hurt, with regard to the NC race anyway. I'm sure they are also superdelegates.

The DNC script plays out. But they are endorsing a LOSER.

This is all fabrication for the MSM. When it gets to the convention, Hil will take it and they all know it.

Where are the women’s groups saying Hillary, the woman with 35 years of experience being asked to quit with the party members men and women endorsing Obama in order shove the woman aside.

I’m starting to think that everyone involved is stark, staring mad. Can’t they see what sort of person they’re supporting? Isn’t there enough information out there to show that, rather than being a uniter as he claims, Obama isn’t even loyal to the country he seeks to lead?

Hillary has been accused of lying over and over but Obama matches that and raises it, adding anti-Americanism, racism, anti-semitism and ecomonic illiteracy(have I missed something?) to the pot. What will it take for people to start seeing through his smooth and soothing patter?

Pennsylvania switchovers need to vote for Hillary big time. The DNC and MSLSD have decided on Obama

Today I heard the Tennessee Governator mention (paraphrasing) that something really dirty and awful about a candidate could change things.

That sounded like a Klintonian preview of coming attractions at the Bijou.

Endorsements mean nothing. The voters have seen so much of these two that they aren't going to listen to what the party big shots want. The young voters and the black voters will vote for Obama. The matronly and patrician will vote for Hillary.

On to the convention!

Unbelievable at the stupidity. What makes osama obama an expert with 2.5 years of experience? Stupid is as stupid does.

They are trying to create momentum for Obama before he gets his butt-kicked by Hillary in PA. When that happens, it will be a brutal dead-heat all the way until the convention.
