The reason there are no articles about Hillary Clinton getting new endorsements is because SHE ISN'T getting any NEW endorsements. In fcat, she has lost FIVE to Obama getting over 25 this month. CNN UPDATE YOUR DELEGATE COUNT:+ OR TAKE Ithem DOWN:

Clinton supporters are really getting pathetic when they tear down national heroes anyone who is not supporting her...Your personalities reflect those of your candidate.

Yet Another powerful endorsement for Obama. He has some MAJOR names supporting him and rightfully so. America is tired of the GOP rhetoric that has launched our country into a recession, and wasted a gazillion dollars in Iraq. Go OBAMA!!! Please return this country to some semblance of normalcy!!

I am a Papua New Guinea, a country in the Pacific just above Australia. I have followed the US Presidential elections very closely with CNN on a day by day basis. The reporting is excellent and Jonathan Mann's coverage gives people outside of the US a better understanding of the election.

Former First Lady Hillery Clinton is brilliant in her presentations but her body language reflects that she can be easily emotional on contentious issues. Obama is a better leader and his personal composure reflects his ability to command and control issues as a President. Experience is not an issues as America is full of learned men and women that can fill that gap.

At the beginning, much was said about how strong the HRC machine was, now we know, WEAK. The other side is only scared because they do not know what is going to HIT them...

Check out Austan Goolsbee and CanadaTV drama…They are saying the story is true about Obama and NAFTA. When this gets around, Obama is probably finished.

Rockefeller? Have we not heard enough about him to fill the bucket? Obama is getting the cream of old politics endorsements. There are a lot of favors to be paid and they will be called in.

Sen. Rockefeller is on the right side. The country is hungry for change. Sen. Obama's theme from the begining has been change. Sen. Clinton represents the past, and does not have good judgement when it comes to making key decisions that will effect the lives of everyday Americans. Sen. Obama is the JOE LOUS, FDR, and JFK of our generation. He will unite the American people on every front. American should get ready for the 44th president of the United States, and his name is BARACK OBAMA!

I support Obama but this is a little uh... unexpected? I don't know what to think of this, or whether it matters. Probably not. To the people who keep talking about Obama's "present" votes, it should interest you that McCain has far more than Obama. And Hillary is only a scooch under Obama. Also, a few of Obama's present votes were for logistical reasons... to be able to revise something or add something...

It is all about Obama...just ask CNN!! Not a word today about Hillary and her POSITIVE campaign. Also just read an article on CNN page that black superdelegates are being pressured to change their vote. Isn't this racial? Something is really wrong with our world today. If they are switching because he is black then this election IS ABOUT Race!!! I say Go Hillary, stay the course and if you are not on the ballot it will be the first time I will not cast my vote for President!!!!

Well, the other sad thing is that the previous blogger is incorrect. Obama will win. Oh, by the way I'm hearing that Hillary could win the next two states and therefore should win the Democratic nomination. Well again, Obama has won eleven in a row, now should he be the Democratic Nominee? GO OBAMA 08!!

twice in the last 8 years the democrats in West Virginia has sold us out for george Bush and now it looks like they are selling us out for Obama. I am changing my opinion of Rockefeller and he sure won'y get my vote in the next election. I think I will regester as a independant.
Maybe we can get some new blood in Washington. Robert Byrd is the
only true democrat up there.

Rockefeller voted for the war, against investigations into waterboarding, and in favor of immunity for telecommunications companies after receiving large donations from them. It will be interesting to see the money trail between Obama's campaign and these old style Washington politicians when all is sad and done. Who says you can't buy superdelegates if you have enough money?

So many people are talking about Senator Clinton's experience. Let's take a look at that shall we? She has knowledge of the inner workings of the White House, this is true, but...she does not have the experience we need. 1. She has experience in making the wrong decisions, not once but twice, the Iraq war and Nafta. Hmmm, if that is not disturbing, then I dont know what is. Think about your first real job, you may have had knowledge, but not the experience, and I'm sure, some of you have climbed through the ranks at that job the first time around. Someone gave you a chance, give Obama a chance. We don't need a president that learns through trial and error, but one that thinks things through before they act. I say vote for Obama!

I Have a problem with Obama Supporter Obama and superdelagates saying that they are voting for what the prople want. Look at the above poll 48% want Hillary they are pretty much 50/50 with poll errors and so everyone saying the superdelagates need to vote\for what the people want are saying if you vote for Hillary your vote dont matter!!! They say it only matters if voted gor Obama!!!!!Guess what 50% of Democrats want Hillary!!!!

Obama says he was against the Iraq war but he was not in the US Senate and had no vote. He was not privy to the persuasive, dishonest intelligence that was presented to the Senators. He's trying to use his opposition to the war as his credentials for being a good commander in chief. Sorry, but that won't fly. It's totally out of context. How would he have voted if he was in the Senate? We'll never know. Since being in the Senate he has voted with the majority of Democrats on Iraq. He's too busy running for President now, in his 3rd year in national politics, to hold any hearings of his committee that impacts US foreign policy in Afghanistan- where he thinks we should have gone instead of Iraq! Well , that's just going to have to wait, he's busy with his own career. Slow down, Obama. What's your hurry? You need more life experience and the American people need to kinow who and what you are before you make a very big mess of this country. Obama's ego, rhetoric and ambition are no substitution for the real world experience and intelligence that Hillary Clinton will use to get this great country back on it's feet

This definately says he's is just on a high and totally out of controll.CNN this is my 4th comment and you never show it or do you not want the truth .I think its true what everyone says about Obama in being a muslin,this comment confirmed it for me and the news reporter on Fox News.

Maybe the third time is a charm for this to be posted...

I really hope that after Tuesday (or whenever its over) we can stop bashing eachother and start comming together. We need to worry about November and McCain. Most of the post on these blogs are pretty bad; Obama supporters AND Clinton supporters. One of them will make history, can we just agree that no matter which one it is that we as Dem's will come together to stop the GOP? I voted for Clinton, but I have NO PROBLEM supporting Obama in the general election. We (NOT CLINTON OR OBAMA) are ripping the party apart. Saying/threatening to vote McCain if Obama or Clinton is on the ticket is so stupid in so many ways. Pretty much what you are saying is that you would rather have 4 more years of Bush than be wrong. Please get over it, stop bashing eachother, and VOTE DEM IN 08!!!

Thank you
please post this!!

I'll try again to get posted: "Your comment is awaiting moderation. Another member of the so-called old Washington Democrat political network falling in behind Obama. Aren't they the ones he has been blasting as out of touch and in need of overhaul?" "Your comment is awaiting moderation. And, if Obama's judgment is so good, why did he have to vote 'present' 130 times while in the Illinois Senate? Couldn't he have used that good judgment to make a sound decision?"

I just heard on NPR that a prominent Latino in Texas said in a radio interview that Latinos shouldn't support Obama because of his race. HRC was interviewed by the same radio station later in the day and when asked if she would repudiate and reject the comments side-stepped and refused to answer the question. Typical Clinton hypocracy.

Strange isn't how some republicans are backing Obama? What do you make of it. I do not believe this nonsense of bringing parties together. They are different, otherwise we would only have one party.

I think there is something going on, and I am not sure who is behind it and what it is. Wake up people something, somewhere is not right!

Good to see that Barack is attracting those (Rockefeller) with a strong commitment to America and its core values – I believe a former Peace Corps volunteer and supporter of VISTA (Volunteers in Service to America.) And let's remind Hillary and Bill, it's time (before the Tuesday primary) to release those pesky tax returns and papers from their White House days. The nation does not need to content with a "smoking gun" on Wednesday, March 5th.
