If you havebeen apart of the past, you havebeen apart of the problem. The change we need isn't that of a black president but and honest president with new ideas and visions, and that candidate is, Obama. I would be ashame if I was Hillary or any of the other candidates to say they have experiece and have served time in the office making changes. What I'm trying to say is, look at our world today and were it stands, and listen to the candidates bragging about being apart of bringing it to this place. A lot of people just don't get it, especially the other candidates. If Obama was white or any other race I would support him for his belief, his vision, and most important of all, his inexperience. I really wouldn't support him if he had the kind of experience that have our country in the state its in today. New ideas, new visions is what we need and if a white, black, mexican or other can bring this about, I'm all for him. K-Romeo Southfield MI

Jason - WOW you must have really hit a nerve with the antiHillary ClubMed members! One has to wonder if they all get together on their little sites and compare notes –> sure a lot of cockroaches that come scurrying out of the woodwork and start tag-teaming whenever they hear the name Hillary. One has to figure that they're mostly GOP Trolls who haven't gotten over not being able to oust Bill - even though Bush & Cheney are worse than Nixon & Agnew!!! (Remember THE SAME IDIOTS must have voted in 4 more yrs of Rove&Co)

TRUE SENATOR OBAMA supporters are listening to what he has to preach about wanting to be the uniter not the divider - which instead is the goal of the small but vocal "voices against Hillary" - who if by chance are Democrat are either jealous old cows or insecure Neanderthal wannabees… Either way they are the ones who are still stuck in the 90's and they are only serving to turn off the undecided and Independents from voting for ANY candidate

The DNC owes a lot to Bill Clinton for its national standing in politics. The least they can do is to endorse Hillary for 2008.

To Bart: You couldn't have condensed that loooong boring article? If you had, someone might actually have read your comment. In the meantime: Go Hillary!!

DNC owes its prominence to Bill Clinton. Thus DNC should support Hillary. Go Hillary 08!

I had the honor of listening to Clinton speak in Iowa, she is either is extremely honest or the best actress ever. She knows these people and what they want, and she has been working for it for years. Obama has vision. SO? What good will vision do for us? We have to many problems to fix for a vision to fix. People, be smart, Obama needs some more work, let him be present when we need him, or better yet let him get experience under Hillary. I like Obama and his views, but we need to have a president who has experience working for the childern and despareged (Spelling I'm Sorry) for over thirty five years. She has the most direct means to fix our problems. Please Obama people, lets just embrace both in a nice little packet and stop screaming at our allies. This Primary is tearing our party apart.

Clinton/Obama 08
For Experience and Vision bring Change.
(And please no hateful comments back! I was nice to you!)

Well, I don't know Don Fowler, so I can't comment on the quality of his endorsement, but for all those sniping about the "worthiness" of this article, the endorsement of a prior DNC Chairman IS news, even if you don't like his selection.

On a more positive note, I do know Carol Fowler, and she has really injected a breath of fresh air into the SC Democratic Party. Unlike the Chairmen of the past, who ran the party like a good ol' boy's club, Carol has gone to great lengths to welcome EVERYONE into the Party tent.

THIS MAN IS ON DRUGS PEOPLE! SORRY!

Jason,
What is that the black people know about Obama that would make then not want to vote for him? I just don't get it? I also agree with the person who said if Hillary is the candidate I will vote Republican. That is how much damage I think she can do.
Please answer my question. It is asked with the deepest sincerity.

Mark from Maryland: "Obama is a[]typical black man"!!! I would like to ask a black man exactly how racists that comment was. Does any typical black man lead Hillary Clinton in the polls from both Iowa AND New Hampshire? Does any typical MAN actually do that, let alone black? No. If Democrats run Hillary, we have got ourselves Romney or Huckabee or that mayor guy who just keeps whispering "9/11″ into the microphone! If Democrats are wise enough to nominate Obama, it will be the first time we've had a true liberal in office for several decades. And if you think you don't like liberals: put blacks back into slavery and take away the vote for the women! Liberal change needs to happen once every couple of decades.

But the point I actually wanted to make was in reference to a comment that we could never know if Obama would have voted for the war, being as he wasn't in the senate at the time. Isn't it true that he opposed the war in the state senate, at least verbally? I think the man has been against the war since before Hillary and Edwards voted for it.

Obama '08

Hillary supporters…quick question - when HRC is asked a question…and doesn't answer it - or makes a speech that completely contradicts her position of less than a year ago - do you actually bury your head in the sand…or is that a figure of speech…and if you do need to buy the sand - where do you get it?

Dear "Educated Class"

There is a great irony in your spelling and rhetoric.

Wow, I'm so surprised! Who would have thought this could happen?

This is the same Don Fowler the LA Times wrote the following about in 1997:

CIA Probes Missing Memo on DNC Official
Inquiry: Paper warned that Democrat sought agency's aid for donor.
Charge sparks party fund-raising questions.
By JAMES RISEN, ALAN C. MILLER, Times Staff Writers

WASHINGTON–An internal memo warning then-CIA Director John M. Deutch that a
top Democratic Party official had improperly contacted the CIA on behalf of
a major campaign contributor mysteriously vanished in the spy agency's upper
reaches in 1995, and its disappearance is now the focus of an investigation
into alleged efforts to exploit the CIA for political purposes.

The CIA official who sent the warning to Deutch has since been identified in
news accounts as having cooperated with Democratic National Chairman Donald
L. Fowler on behalf of a major Democratic contributor.

That has left some who are familiar with the case wondering whether the CIA
officer was set up as the fall guy to protect more senior CIA officials who
may have failed to heed his warning.

Regardless of the answer, Fowler's willingness to reach into the U.S.
intelligence community on behalf of a generous donor who wanted the CIA's
help in gaining access to President Clinton and Vice President Al Gore has
raised new questions about the blurring of the line between the cash-hungry
Clinton reelection campaign and the government.

Fowler tried to assist Roger Tamraz, a Lebanese American entrepreneur
seeking U.S. support in his effort to build a multibillion-dollar pipeline
from the Caspian Sea through the strife-torn Caucasus to Turkey.

Tamraz, who is wanted by the Lebanese government on bank embezzlement
charges, attended six White House events with Clinton, including at least
three after a National Security Council official urged the administration to
bar him from such high-level access.

The December 1995 memo warning of Fowler's allegedly improper contacts with
the CIA was signed by William Lofgren, then-chief of the central Eurasian
division in the agency's directorate of operations, its clandestine
espionage arm.

The warning memo carried a "routing code" showing that, in addition to
Deutch, it was also addressed to many of the CIA's other top
officials–including Nora Slatkin, the agency's executive director and
third-ranking official, and David Cohen, deputy director for operations and
head of clandestine espionage.

U.S. intelligence sources stress that Lofgren sent the memo, but CIA
officials insist that there is no evidence Deutch or the other senior
officials to whom it was addressed actually received it. CIA sources also
say that Deputy CIA Director George J. Tenet, Clinton's nominee to head the
agency, never received the warning either.

Phone Calls Leave Electronic Record

The mystery of the missing memo is now the focus of an inquiry by the CIA's
inspector general into contacts between Fowler and the CIA, according to
U.S. intelligence sources.

Lofgren, who has since retired from the agency, refused comment. After
leaving the CIA, he briefly worked as a consultant for Tamraz.

Fowler denied that he had contacted the CIA, but two calls from Fowler to
the CIA were electronically documented on a CIA caller ID system, according
to a White House source. The CIA's "inspector general has determined to his
satisfaction that those calls were made by Don Fowler," the source said. In
addition to the electronic record, he said, contemporaneous notes show that
the caller identified himself as Fowler on both occasions.

Sources say that Lofgren's warning came in response to repeated attempts by
Fowler to enlist the CIA to help Tamraz, who had a long-standing, secret
relationship with the CIA.

When he found that he had been shut out of the White House, Tamraz told DNC
officials that the resistance was probably due to his shadowy past in the
Middle East, and that the CIA could vouch for him to overcome the
gatekeepers at the National Security Council.

In October 1995, Tamraz also complained about being denied access to the
White House during a dinner with DNC Finance Chairman Marvin Rosen, sources
say. That same month, Fowler telephoned one of Lofgren's subordinates in the
central Eurasian division who had served as Tamraz's contact in the agency,
leading CIA officials to believe that Tamraz had told Fowler whom to call.

Fowler asked the CIA officer to send a memo about Tamraz and his activities
on behalf of U.S. intelligence to Sheila Heslin, a specialist on the
Caucasus at the NSC who had raised red flags about Tamraz at the White
House. Fowler told the CIA officer that Tamraz was trying to obtain a
meeting with Gore but needed to overcome the NSC's resistance.

Heslin had met with Tamraz in June 1995 about his pipeline proposal and
afterward had told her superiors at the NSC that Tamraz should not be given
meetings with anyone else further up the chain of command. She had also
already obtained a CIA memo on Tamraz before her first meeting with him in
June.

But in July 1995, Tamraz began contributing generously to the Democrats,
ultimately giving at least $177,000 to the Democratic National Committee and
state parties and pledging to give several times more. Sources say Tamraz
was seeking–unsuccessfully, as it turned out–one-on-one meetings with both
Clinton and Gore to discuss the Caspian Sea pipeline proposal.

When Fowler called the CIA on Tamraz's behalf in October, he was told that
the agency would not cooperate with him. But Fowler still called Heslin to
tell her that the CIA had information for her on Tamraz that could convince
her that Tamraz should be given greater White House access.

Heslin then called the CIA for an update on the Tamraz memo she had received
before her June meeting. Her call came to the CIA within a day or two of
Fowler's initial call to the spy agency, sources say. But since the NSC has
the right to ask for information from the CIA, Lofgren's office complied
with her request.

New Memo on Donor Intercepted, Sanitized

An updated memo on Tamraz was then prepared by the CIA's central Eurasian
division–the successor to the CIA's old Soviet-Eastern Europe division–for
Heslin, but it was intercepted by the CIA general counsel's office. The
CIA's legal experts, wary of disseminating negative information about an
American citizen, sanitized the report before it was sent on to Heslin,
sources say.

But by December of 1995, Tamraz was still meeting NSC resistance in his
efforts to gain access to Clinton and Gore. So Fowler called the CIA again,
reaching the same officer in the central Eurasian division and again asking
for more support for Tamraz.

Alarmed that their earlier efforts to rebuff Fowler had not deterred him,
staffers in the central Eurasian division wrote a memo detailing Fowler's
contacts. It was sent up to Deutch's office under Lofgren's signature.

And then it vanished, sources say. It is still unclear how far the memo went
before it was lost or intercepted. A copy was kept at the central Eurasian
division.

Meanwhile, Fowler had called Heslin again, leaving a voice-mail message.
Alarmed, Heslin told her superior, Staff Director Nancy Soderberg, about
Fowler's calls. Soderberg called Fowler to tell him to "knock it off" and
leave NSC staffers alone.

Top CIA officials insist that they did not become aware of Fowler's 1995
contacts with CIA officers until recent weeks, when Fowler's efforts to
reach into the CIA became an issue in the Democratic fund-raising
controversy. The CIA's inspector general opened an investigation into the
matter on March 13, and Tenet later provided a classified briefing to the
Senate Intelligence Committee on the controversy.

Tamraz's work with the CIA dates back at least to the early 1980s, when he
was a close advisor to Lebanese President Amin Gemayel. Sources say he also
had ties to former CIA Director William J. Casey during the Reagan
administration. After Israel invaded Lebanon, Tamraz briefly acted as a
secret, back-channel envoy between Gemayel and Israeli Prime Minister
Menachem Begin–at Casey's behest, Tamraz and other sources say. Tamraz, a
native of Cairo, became a U.S. citizen in 1989 but had held a U.S. green
card since his days as a Harvard Business School student in the 1960s.

A major Republican campaign contributor during the Reagan administration,
Tamraz had never given to the Democratic Party until mid-1995, after he had
held a series of unproductive meetings in Washington with State and Energy
department officials and Heslin, pushing, without success, for Clinton
administration support for his pipeline proposal.

"Nobody did anything different with him than with any other oil guy," said
one senior State Department official who met with Tamraz before he
contributed to the Democratic Party.

Contributions to the Democratic Party

In an interview, Tamraz said he wanted nothing more than assurances that the
administration would not oppose his pipeline. The administration finally
endorsed a "multiple pipeline" approach calling for new pipeline routes out
of the Caspian basin.

In addition to the money Tamraz contributed, he raised about $75,000 from
friends and relatives for the DNC, Democratic sources say. His largest
contribution — $100,000 to the Virginia Democratic Party–was requested by
Fowler.

Fowler gave party officials a green light to accept Tamraz's money even
after a computer check of stories on the controversial international
businessman disclosed that he was wanted by the Lebanese government on bank
embezzlement charges, sources say. They say the DNC officials regarded
Tamraz as "an aggressive businessman in a tough environment."

Mrs. Clinton continues to be a negative messenger of "gloom and doom!" I keep looking for a signal she represents hope and challenge, however, enough is enough!

Jason of Atlanta - You sound so angry! Are you related to Al Sharpton? Of course many Blacks support Hillary, including Al Sharpton, just as many Whites support Obama.

But if one feels that the good of the Republic is better served by not voting to institutionalize dynastic rule who are you to tell them go? Go where?

Bill Clinton was for the likes of you the first Black President because of the narrative of his personal life and thus Hillary by defending his infidelity against the Republican attack machine is qualified to be president because she is tested. Obama is atypical Black man. Good for you Jason!

Jason,

I disagree with you that the comments were not intended to be racist. For example, the emails sent out saying Obama is a Muslim with ties to terrorism was clearly discriminatory. Moreover, insinuating Obama was a drug dealer was a subtle jab intended to put fear in people with racist tendencies. I think you are looking at things from the standpoint of does it put down minorities. But there is also the aspect of stoking prejudices that may linger in white voters.

And it is possible it is working. The newest N.H. poll has shown Hillary surge based largely on a boost from older voters. With no degree of scientific evidence, I will simply say the issue of race is different in my generation than my parents generation than their parents generation. Generally, the older the generation the more likely for prejudice.

Ummm Jason nobody said racist, they said evil, hateful, and so forth, not racist…I'm black too and I feel the same way about Hillary, white or black, I think the establishment needs to be broken….not the race issue. As far as Obama I admire him because he HASN'T used his race to get the black vote…

He's not trying to be the black candidate…he's just being the BEST candidate for All americans… That's something I want from any candidate.

And before the HIllary supporters say she's the best… sell it to another democrat…I'm an independent, I don't and won't wear rose-colored glasses.

He also responded to recent poll numbers in South Carolina that show Sen. Barack Obama cutting into Clinton's long-held lead.

"This is a close race," he said. "Anyone who ever thought this was a done deal is a bit mistaken and perhaps naïve."

Is he calling Clinton naive?

I am honestly beginning to think that most of you that post your comments on this site are actually Republicans, pretending to be Democrats. If you are a true Democrat that fully understands political dynamics and election strategies, you would know that Barack Obama has no chance to win the general election if he becomes the Democratic nominee. He will not win any state south of the Mason-Dixon line. I am African American, I live in the Sotuh and I have worked in numerous political campaigns. HILLARY CLINTON ON THE OTHER HAND IS THE BEST CHANCE DEMOCRATS HAVE TO WIN BACK THE WHITE HOUSE. WHETHER YOU LIKE HER OR NOT SHE IS OUR BEST CHANCE IN 08.

So now even Clinton supporters are stealing Obama's slogan?

Don't be fooled America? You have very little say in who will be your nominee. These "superdelegates" are establishment folks and can pick whoever they want to be the nominee.

Someone like Obama, who will create change, scares the hell out of them, because it will take power out of their hands.

Posted By Jesse, Burnsville, MN : December 19, 2007 12:58 pm

I totally agree with you.
Do you remember Hillary in black churches in November last year pretending to match over the bridge?

Do you remember Hillary flicking out when Obama got media attention and asked him to damp 'hope' campaign so that they could be one "united" democratic party?

Do you remember when hillary was stealing Obama's plan on education,poverty and foreign policy plans?

Now look at them stealing the slogans,
I am sick and tired with these fake people who will do anything to get elected!!
Hillary is Fake. Give me Obama anytime of the day, I trust the guy!

What is newsworthy about another endorsement? Endorsements are a dime a dozen and they serve merely as crutches for the ignorant and uninformed.

GRACE

What would be better…a Obama who said he would not have voted for the war, but wasn't elected to the position so we don't know that for sure! Also he has missed so many VOTES!! How can we count on him to do the job of a President if he can't do his current job!? Also I wish he would stop complaining about other senator's votes, when he missed the vote himself (Iraq not included since he couldn't vote)!!

This guy does alot of illegal fund raising for the clintons. Read this people…

DON FOWLER, Former DNC Chairman: We at the Democratic National Committee made mistakes. As chair of the Democratic National Committee, I accept responsibility for those mistakes. To the best of my knowledge, there was no intent by DNC officials to accept money from foreign–illegal foreign sources, despite the pressing needs during the campaign to raise large sums of money to compete with the far better financed campaigns of our opposition party, no one, no one at the White House, not the President, not the Vice President, not anyone else suggested that we cut corners, that we avoid rooms, or that we do anything other than comply fully with every rule, every law, and every ethical standard.

KWAME HOLMAN: Fowler says that applied to the highly publicized event attended by Vice President Gore at a Buddhist temple outside Los Angeles in April 1996. Improper contributions resulted from the event, but Fowler disputed claims by committee Republicans that the event was designed to be a fund-raiser.

I have two quick comments…

Jason from Atlanta, you apparently lack intelligence as well. The post you refer states nothing of racism against Obama. The statement went to the effect of establishment candidates fear the change in status quo (see Edwards or Obama), while people bost of Hillary's experience yet credit none to those who have far more experience (one happens to be a Latino, therefore break the status quo). Granted, the idea of a woman president would break said status quo. Yet she has proven to be more of an establishment candidate than any man.

Secondly regarding the statement from Pixie in Tennessee, ABSOLUTELY HILLARIOUS!!!

WE NEEDS SOMEONE WHO CAN PUT AN END TO THE GAME-PLAYING, NOT SOMEONE WHO PLAYS THE GAME BETTER.

BARACK OBAMA '08.

Is this the same guy still sporting the Jimmy Carter and Mondale/Ferraro bumper stickers??? Oh yeah, he probably has a Dukakis button on his lapel………… what an idiot

I agree on her views on the war in Iraq. We have no reason to be there. Let's bring our men and women home.

Fowler's a jerk. He told students supporting Colbert that they were being foolish and didn't know how to write.

If its for Obama, then great but if its for Hillary, then Obama's supporters go ballistic. Obama will NEVER be the next president!

Fowler was up to his neck in illegal fundraising for Bill Clinton, so this is an appropriate endorsement!

To Jason,
You are native to think that Hillary Clinton is going to be the best hope for African-Americans. Just take a look at some of the things Bill Clinton is saying about Obama. Remember Bill Clinton did some things that effected African-Americans. Why should we think that Hillary Clinton is going to be like Bush? Why we would somebody that voted for the war and all of a sudden she has had a change of heart? Why would we want somebody that doesn't answer questions when asked? America needs a change and Hillary Clinton is not a change, she is the extension of Bush.

Hillary is up in a NH poll so all the Hillary haters are having a bad day.
LOL

I thought CNN was the political news network? Cynthia McKinney just announced her presidential bid for the Green Party and CNN is doing endorsements from who?? Pitiful political biased news network is more like it..

What evil, hateful comments towards Obama? That he used drugs? He was the first to mention this in his book. Everyone knew about it because of HIM.

What's so frustrating is that Obama is becoming like George Bush…you can't say anything critical of him or people will get mad and offended. He, like Bush, is becoming like a child; don't say anything or he might cry. He's running for President…either he can take the heat or he can't…which is it? He's a grown man and politics is not fun and not always positive.

Everything that has been said about him has been out there for sometime, mostly coming from his mouth. It's nothing new and it's not hateful or evil. It's just the facts.

People grow up. If he wants to be President then he needs to take the criticism. What happens if he becomes President when other countries may criticize him?

I'm getting so tired of listening to these reporters talking about how mean people have been towards him. This isn't an election for senior class president…it's the US Presidency.

CNN should also report on this endorsement:

The Clinton Campaign today announced the endorsement of the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades. The IUPAT represents more than 160,000 members and retirees in the finishing trades.

"Our members have spoken and they have overwhelmingly chosen Senator Clinton as the IUPAT candidate for president," said IUPAT General President James Williams. "They told us that they want retirement security, health care reform and a leader in the White House who can deliver the change this country needs. Senator Clinton, the members of the Painters and Allied Trades believe in you, and we're ready to help you win in 2008."

Williams said the IUPAT undertook the most extensive polling of its members and retirees ever conducted, mailing out ballots to every member nationwide, with Hillary the overwhelming winner.

"I am honored to have the support of the hard working men and women of the IUPAT," Hillary said. "Together, we will ensure that America's working families are no longer invisible to the President of the United States."

Hillary has been endorsed by more than a dozen unions representing 6 million working families nationwide, including: Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union; International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers; Transportation Communications Union; National Association of Letter Carriers; International Union of Bricklayers and Allied Craftworkers; American Federation of Teachers; the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees; Sheet Metal, Air, Rail and Transportation Workers; Amalgamated Transit Union; Office and Professional Employees International Union; and the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, Moving Picture Technicians, Artists and Allied Crafts.

I think this speaks volumes. Go Hillary!

What you right wing fanatical Republicans refuse to accept is that the Clintons gave us the most prosperous country in the history of America and you rocking chair Republican warriors gave us the most dangerous and UN-American President and Congress in the history of this great nation. Keep up the good work, you right wing fanatical Constitutional burning Republicans, because Hillary will be your leader whether you like it or not.

His tenure on the DNC was so corrupted by the issues of the time, quite frankly, I wouldn't look at this as a "good endorsement". My 2 cents. Elephants may never forget, but us Donkey's have pretty good memories too.

Clinton 08.

Some of you people sound so dumb. Like this person who says she is going to vote republican if Hillary is the nominee…GO!! Why are you calling the attacks on Obama racist? Because you support him? You need to be real…I'm black and I see nothing racist about the attacks against Obama. By the way there are a lot of blacks supporting Hillary they know the deal with Obama.

Fired up and ready to go is Obama's slogan! Clinton & Edwards have been using Obama's lines in the debates and in their ads, now Clinton supporters are using his slogan? Its just one more example of Senator Obama's dynamic leadership! Even his opponents follow him. Obama 08!

The majority of them voted for the War. Obama wasnt around. However if you look at their voting records almost identical. For those of you who are still upset about the "war" vote..get over it we had an election on that issue WE LOST. NUFF said MOVE ON!

What change is Obama going to bring? When he sold himself out with Oprah that created change. It changed who I thought he was and what type of campaign he was running. Obama's time is in the future. We need a strong, smart, and eager leader in this country NOW. Hillary is by far the best candidate to meet the current needs of the country. It's funny how Obama supporters will say that basically his inexperience in Washington is why they are attracted to him. But then they will try to argue that Hillary doesn't have enough experience to be running for the job. Come on guys…make up your mind. This process isn't about taking power out of anyone's hands. It is about electing the best person for the job for all of us. Hillary will be a great president.

And so we have the establishment endorsing an establishment candidate. In other news, the sun is hot.

Not surprising! She is the establishment candidate. And it is that same establishment that has been in control of the party for nearly twoo decades. Yet, the Clintons failed to give us universal health care, brought us NAFTA, supported open borders, and demeaned the Democratic party thorugh personal failings.

I don't care much about this endorsement because it is meant to maintain status quo. I have seen what the Demcoratic party of Clinton is: it hates young and progressive leadership, Edwards, Obama - very outstanding candidates. If it is conventional experience, is Hillary more experienced than Bill Richardson - No! But why is his name not being mentioned by the party establishment -He is Hispanic.

I am seeing the erosion of confidence in the Democratic party, especialy among Blacks, Hispanics, and some of us who are want to rejuvenate the party and return it to its true roots. I am comfortable with any Democrat winning except Hillary.

If she is nominated after their evil,vicious and hate campaign against Obama I will vote Republican to save the Republic from dynastic rule and force the Democratic party to reexamine itself after losing so that we can have free and frank discussion about the establishment's hold on our party.

EXPERIENCE AT WHAT…USING POOR
JUDGMENT? SHE VOTED FOR THE WAR.
MIGHT AS WELL RE-ELECT G.W.

OK Yolanda, I will bite.

What "change" will she bring that is different than the last 20 years?

What has she actually EVER had the "lead" of up to this point?

Just curious.

So now even Clinton supporters are stealing Obama's slogan?

Don't be fooled America? You have very little say in who will be your nominee. These "superdelegates" are establishment folks and can pick whoever they want to be the nominee.

Someone like Obama, who will create change, scares the hell out of them, because it will take power out of their hands.

FIRED UP AND READY TO GO
FIRED UP AND READY TO LEAD

LETS BRING "CHANGE" TO AMERICAN POLITICAL SYSTEM WITH THE MOST QUALIFIED AND EXPERIENCED 1ST WOMAN LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD AND TAKE OUR COUNTRY IN A NEW DIRECTION.

Yeah, so who cares?

Loser endorsing loser.

How this is even newsworthy? A Bill Clinton supporter (and DNC chairperson) during the 1990s is supporting Hillary. If this former DNC chairperson was endorsing someone else other than Clinton, this would be a little more newsworthy.
