Defection of longtime superdelegate jolts Clinton (and Bill sez elitists support Obama?)

Hillary Rodham Clinton was jolted Thursday by the defection of one of her longtime superdelegate supporters, a former national party chairman who urged fellow Democrats to "reject the old negative politics" and unify behind Barack Obama.

"A vote for Hillary Clinton is a vote to continue" a long, self-destructive Democratic campaign, Joe Andrew added in a letter designed to have an impact on the turbulent race nationally as well as in his home state of Indiana, site of a primary next week.

"A vote to continue this process is a vote that assists John McCain," Andrew wrote.

(Mr. Andrew agrees with Rush, hayna? And here's a bonus quote, from the end of the same article. Big Dog Bill contrasted Himmary's "appeal among working-class voters with the elitists he said support Obama":

"The great divide in this country is not by race or even income, it's by ," (Bill) said. "In West Virginia and Arkansas, we know that when we see it.")

Obama’s campaign is sinking, and this guy signs up. Good timing.

Democrats just do not want to count all the votes. Democrats have disenfranchised more voters in this election...

Well, they have to make a judgment on which boat is sinking the slowest.

“The great divide in this country is not by race or even income, it’s by those who think they are better than everyone else and think they should play by a different set of rules,” Clinton said.

You can’t make this stuff up. The Clintons lie, steal, murder people, sell weapons technology to communist China, sell pardons to drug dealers and then accuse others of playing by a different set of rules. The Clintons are unbelievable.

He should be a guest commentator on Rush’s show.

So Joe Andrews supports racism. I’m not the least bit surprised.

Look he was a former RAT party head. If you are looking for Sherlock Holms-type reasoning....that is not the place to look. These are liberals. Its all about feelings.

and on that ship he just boarded, he is about to feel really wet.

Hillary is absolutely going to be POTUS in 2012. For her, it is all win-win.

What is amazing is that all these defections show how truly hated Hillary and Bill are now among their loyal Dem followers. The super-delegates have every reason in the world to be leaving Obama — yet they continue supporting him in the face of his obviously sinking ship. This proves the Clinton mystique is over and done with — not even long-time and loyal Dems will put up with them any more. And she talks about Obama not being able to “close the deal”! Look in the mirror (if you can stand it), Baby!

Somebody needs to ask Bubba if he and James Carville are then campaigning for Hillary by dragging dollar bills through trailer parks (Carville’s quote when Paula Jones was trashed as being “beneath” the elitists Hill-Billy).

Yep, the very same people who stuck by the Clintons for eight years. A pox on both their houses.

Wright does not need your money has his 10 million dollar line of credit, plus his book coming out, so that makes the book tour free. Date unanounced.
