CNN

Hillary is the best choice of all the candidates. Great job, Murtha!

Uh, little late, John – Hillary has already lost.

It wouldn't make a difference. The math speaks for itself. She would need to have at least 70% of the vote overall to win the election. I don't see any possible way other than to cheat. If, she cheats it will be un-american and will not be americas favorite former first lady or President.

Obama has addressed an issue today that even she can begin to relate too, other than criticize it. By far he has proven that he can deal with complex issues that can be dealt with without have to whine, or call cheap shots.

Go Obama Go

Murtha made the right decision.

Hillary 08'

HELP WANTED EXPERIENCE NEEDED

Yeah Champ!!!!!

Go Hillary!

Talk about your OLD politics...

GO HILLARY!!!

Isnt he the same senator who constanly whined about The situation in Iraq, how Troops are getting killed, Yet here he is Endorsing one of the People who Helped authorize the War
Ironic

Is this CNN's attempt to give Hillary a little air time today? One more superdelegate...big deal!

Obamas consistant poor choices and backpedaling make me think he needs a few more years in the Senate.

Go Hillary

The party and nation you more TODAY than EVER !

God Bless America

Sen. Clinton has 8 years while Pres. Clinton was in office to forge ahead with health care and failed. It seems that she was unable to reach out to bi-partisan support at that time, and failed miserably. She was unable to convince Pres. Clinton that NAFTA would be detrimental to the US workers when he was working on that issue, will she be more affective the second time around?

good u will support for hillary finally than obama

Sad.

Murtha can give Hillary strength! It is not over until it is over.
GO HILLARY!

This man really knows what our country needs. Thank you John Murtha.
HILLARY 08

Hey John, I meant "Thanks for backing the best candidate", certainly not "baking the best candidate". Sorry about the typo, but it is sort of funny.

Great! An endorsement that really means something. This guy is gutty, courageous, and well-respected. Thanks, John, for baking the best candidate!

Not sure if this helps Hillary, Barack, or McCain. My guess in McCain.

I guess Murtha know which side his pork is buttered on.

Ouch that has to hurt Clinton to be endorsed by this guy. He called our troops murderers before even seeing the evidence or giving them a chance to respond. He's far worse than moveon.org

Thank you Murtha for endorsing Hillary Clinton for President. Super Delgates you need to follow suit and step up to the plate and endorse Hillary. Many of the Super Delgates steped out before Ohio and Texas to change the race to favor Obama. We all know that Hillary is ready to be President, so get off your tush and help make it happen. I don't know what has been wrong with you super delgates. I think you are disgusting playing with this decision about selecting a President.

Way to go Rep. Murtha! People really respect you as an independent thinker!

What a shame! I would have hoped for better from a fellow vet.

What a chowder head

Impressive the first in how many weeks?

Dear Mr. John Murtha, you are the real Democrat leader. Kerry and Kennedy are not at same level with you and they will never be.
Thank you Rep. Murtha, I knew you are bigger than House speaker, Nancy. Why? Nancy said she wants delegates should choose the nominee by the rule, not superdelegates, means she is Obama's side. I think she made a huge mistake because Obama will lose, he lost his confidence and supporters will leave him slowly when his real colors is disclosed more. I was disappointed by Nancy's interview, but I feel better because Mr. Murtha recognized Hillary's ability. Go Hillary, you will win State by State from 22 April.

He'll cash this favor in big time.

Thank you, John Murtha! This shows what good judgment you have!

My major initial intent as we began to look at the potential candidates for our next President was to get Rudy Guiliani as far away as possible from representing me as our next Commander in Chief. Thank God his arrogance and attitude lost him the Florida votes. What an loser he was!

Now I am left with not one individual who I can fully endorse as my next President - Hillary is not that person - Obama is certainly not someone i can support – that leaves me with the Old Man, McCain, and I certainly don't agree with his endorsement of the Iraqi fiasco.
What is the average American to do? There is no one that I can see who fits the bill to lead this Country. Obama is really a laughing stock of all the candidates. What a joke he is!!!

Great! Go Hillary!!!!!!!!!!!

As the primary season unfolds I admire Hillary Clinton more and more. She is attacked viciously by readers, many of them asking why she doesn't get out of the race. She continues in the race with dignity and spirit. Why people hate her, I do not understand.
She was a great First Lady and has been an outstanding Senator. And even now, she has to live through cutting remarks about her husband's scandal, brought out by a vindictive Republican Congress. It is obvious to me that the Clintons have spent their political lives embracing all Americans, speaking for the needs of our country. As I watch the news, I see how much love there is in the Clinton family. I have no problem with Senator Obama, but I am hoping that Mrs. Clinton will be the nominee. She is extremely capable and will restore to this country the respect that we seem to have lost in the world.

Overall the best candidate! Smart move Mr Murtha, at least someone is not drinking the Obama Koolaid!

Just like Clinton but the opposite, I was for the war, then I was against it, now I am for it again.

Another TRUE AMERICAN HERO for Hillary –
God Bless America!

Let's see now. Murtha is against the war. Hillary voted for the war, and does not apologize for that vote. Barack was against the war. So it follows that Murtha endorses HILLARY? Something under the table must be going on that the rest of us can't know.

This is a man who does not support the withdrawal of troops from Iraq...

He and Ed Rendell are involved with the clintons in very underhanded ways!!!! Ed Rendell is involved in a lawsuit with the clintons and Peter Paul a felon who raised money for the clintons. Ed Rendell and John Murtha are supporters of the clintons because they have been promised favors from the clintons if they support them and cover their backs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Know who you're voting women!!!! I'm a woman but I would never vote for Hillary.....She's a liar and ravenous for power and she will do and say whatever she needs to to get this nomination!!!!!

DON'T BE FOOLED PENNSYLVANIANS!!!!!! SHE'S NOT WHO SHE SAYS SHE IS....

VOTE FOR HONESTY AND CHANGE, VOTE OBAMA!

I enlisted in the USMC in Jan.1945 and it has become embaressing to me to admit that a John Murtha was also a member of that magnificient group of people.
Sometimes you just fooled and wind up with a member full of magots.

Thanks John. You got the right choice. We know Hillary better than any other candidate.

Hillary 08

A lot of elderly white males will now endorse Hillary, most of the Good Ole boys were just waiting for an excuse not to vote for Barack. I am not saying Mr. Murtha is a Good Ole boy, only he as well as many others knows the comments they have had at their kitchen tables.

Does anybody REALLY care what this retired RESERVE Marine officer has to say?....

WAY TO GO MURTHA. I AGREE WITH YOU.OBAMA IS OUT AFTER BIG LOS IN PA...HILLARY WILL CRASH HIM ..THANK YOU JOHN MURTHA. HILL-ARY,HILL-ARY.....08

Thanks Murtha!!

Mistake Mistake Mistake.....unless you like losing!

Obama Richardson 08!!!

SO....................... Murtha? That MIGHT get her 12 votes. Now ALL of the BillyBots come on out and say how great this is when you always say they mean nothing when they are for Obama.

This game is getting too predictable and Boring.

Murtha was one of the first leaders in America to question and challenge the Iraq war in a serious way. This is very significant that this anti-war leader is supporting Hillary. I would hope CNN would make this a headline of sorts.

Good for her ... now she has 'only' NEGATIVE SIX superdelegates since February 5th.

I am sorry to learn of your preference, Murtha. It took you a while to decide! I'm wondering about the timing! Did this "race" furor Obama is caught up in have anything to do with your decision?

"In a statement, Murtha said Clinton is "the candidate that will forge a consensus on health care, education, the economy, and the war in Iraq."

Clinton failed miserably on heatlh care in 1993.

She failed on Iraq in 2002.

It's remarkable for someone who hads a record of failure, she talks about socalled "experience"

good for you Mr. Murtha, I hope the rest of the democratic officials get on the Hillary bandwagon and get on it soon, it is the best ride in town

and HILLARY is the right. person to lead this country forward to a strong economy, more jobs here on US soil, a better standing in the world.to an end to the Iraq war, to benefit both Iraq, the USA, and the world.

Hillary will not only make changes, but she will make changes that will make POSITIVE differences in the lives of the American Public, and isn't that what the American Public want. all the american public,regardless of gender, race, creed, or religious affiliation.

""I've known Senator Clinton for fifteen years," he said. "I know that she continually reaches out for opinions and ideas not just from our nation's leaders, but from all Americans.""

Yeah right!

Hillary reaches out with her fist to people with different ideas.

Definitely NOT a team player!

Great choice! I think Sen Clinton would bring a measure of stability to our defense need as we adjust to fight not countries but state-sponsored terrorism, while getting the heck out of Iraq but achieving that without placing a target sign on the backs of our troops as we withdraw.

I am a Clinton supporters. She may be overly nuaced, but at least her judgement is much better than staying in a church with a pastor who shout GD America! I wince even to write it.

And what did he do with that today, he didn;t throw his pastor under the bus for that, he threw his poor grandmother for expressing a private concern to him. What a coward–Obama!

Hillary all the way!

VOTE FOR HILLARY IS BETTER THAN OBAMA HIS A BIG BIG LIAR.

Senator John McCain will DEFINITELY not bring about any change.
He will continue Bush Business as usual.
Anyone who doesn't believe that must be a Bush Fan!

Hillary 2008

who is this mather?? i this a big endorsement??
Anyway Obama will win...

I clicked on this because I thought it said "Mothra endorses Clinton".....What a let down.....

YEAH!!

Go Obama!
Obama supports healthcare and has efficient
proof to back it up.
GO OBAMA!
GO OBAMA!

WOW WHAT A SHOCK THAT MURTHA SUPPORTS CLINTON. WHAT IS HE 100 YEARS OLD WHICH IS PART OF HER BASE. IF YOU OVER 55 YOU THINK TODAYS CLINTONS CAN BRING BACK THE 1990'S . NOT A CHANCE BECAUSE IT IS A DIFFERENT WORLD TODAY. THE CLINTONS HAD THEIR TIME.

DNC....we will write Hillary in on our ballots......you have rolled
out the red carpet for a candidate you do not know.......
You should be concerned about all the democatics voters.....

McCain will not roll out the red carpet for Obama.......
Rethink this Superdelegates

OBAMA NEVER MENTIONED ANY ATI-AMERICAN TOXIC MESSAGES FROM HIS PREACHER, REV WRIGHT. IT WAS ABOUT RACE AND HATRED FOR AMERICA.

"The candidate that will forge a consensus on health care, education, the economy, and the war in Iraq."

Murth man, I think you just got on the wrong ship. The one you chose is set to sink.

She tried healthcare under a hush-hush partisan strategy, DIDN'T WORK.

She can't run her campaign very well, OBVIOUSLY.

Iraq?!?!!? SHE VOTED TO INVADE IRAQ.

I hope Murtha and Clinton can get the message out that Hillary DOES reach out for ideas and consensus. Obama wants to claim that territory for his own, but it's simply not true.

Sounds like he made the right move at the right time.

Hillary continues showing her capability to win the big and swing states. Some republican are backing Obama, but will they choose Obama over McCain in the general? To believe it is to say I am 6-year old naive. If Democrats want to take back the White House, they should be smart enough to see that... time to wake up from the "Hoping" dream.

Go Hillary!

Great, Hillary is going to make a great president.

I'm glad. The Super Delegates need to do their duty and see to it that an electable nominee represents our party.

Unfortunately, that is no longer Senator Obama.

Clinton may have a lot of baggage, but she's been carrying it a long time. In the general election, Obama will cave in under the weight of the ton of bricks that has fallen on him.

YAY for CLINTON!! PENNSYLVANIA IS CLINTON COUNTRY!!!

Lets see the angry Obamans attack John MUrtha...lol

Seriously! Do these people actually believe Hillary or Bill will come through for them after the election is over with?

I know everyone is going to bring up Murtha's past, but Obama also sought the endorsement of Murtha. Obviousily he chose Clinton, but for all you Hillary bashers and Obama lovers, you would be hypocrits to think that Murtha's endorsement "goes to show how corrupt Clinton is" or "of course, one dirty politician backing another"

Wow. An endorsement from a guy who looks like George Bush. That really helps the Democrats all around...

Thank you Rep. Murtha, I have always respected you.

If you are a voter who previously supported Barack Obama but have had a change of heart.... Write, call and email the Super delegates in your state! It is not too late to turn this race around.

This is the retried general who couldn't shoot straight in his lead role for Democrats against the Iraq war.

He ranted and raved like a mad man on the issue to the extent I thought his military standing would have made a huge difference in the Democratic-controlled Congress; a Congress that was taken over by the Democrats in 2006 to help end the war.

Sadly for Murtha and Democrats, after two years, not only is the war still on and gaining favorable reviews by over half of America, the Democrats also voted FOR financing its continuation despite rhetorical threats of filibustering.

More sadly for Murtha and Democrats, after two years, the much maligned George W. Bush – because of the Iraq war – is scoring better in approval ratings than the Democratic-controlled Congress by 35 to 24 percent.

Murtha, Martha, murda, whatever!!!!

Well there is a surprise, leave it to Murtha to pick wrong.

Sen. Clinton's super delegates. shows that she has strong ties to politics of Washington.

I hope America realizes this was a well writen speach.he prepared. Mr. Obama will not have the a 5 day period of time to respond to most issues at the white house. so to be fair why dont we have a town hall forum so all the news media can ask unsensored questions. remember how he handled the last news conference he couldnt run out of the room fast enough.

Talk about flip flop. This guy now puts Iraq behind all other issues. Wow. What a flop.

Hillary takes other people's opinions?

If that is true then she must have the worst judgment ever since she took Bush's opinion on the Iraq war and agreed!!!

Hillary took Bush's opinion on the Iran vote and agreed!!!

If true, Hillary took someone's opinion and decided that it was ok not to plan after Feb 5th Super Tuesday since she would be crowned!!! So perhaps she will do the same as president and be ready on Day 1 but not on Day 5, 6, 7 ........

Maybe she took someone's opinion in the controversial case with Peter Paul. That is, you took illegal contributions then decided not to report it either!!!

Sorry, but from what I have heard she is too divisive . Also, she would do anything to win this race. Even CNN's Cafferty asked this exact question today!!!

Either way, I believe it would be immoral to vote for someone who voted for the unwarranted Iraq war. Just thinking of all those who died!!!

Barrack Obama is a great leader and it took much courage to make the speech he made today and not back down to the cynical people who thrive off hate.

Remember, Martin Luther King was also mocked and attacked when he made great speeches. Those same people will now say he was a great leader.

It's no surprise to see the hate filled cynics from the Hillary and Conservative camps so hurtful and attackful. Just more proof that their is still a great divide in our society with regards to race, gender, and religion while America stands for diversity.

I can tell you I am not proud of this country when I read so many Americans and their hate speech on these blogs.

Rep, Murtha I applauded you....I wish Icould say same thing to Pelosi.

The Ides of March has come......

Senator Murtha maybe you can tell us why, Senator Clinton and her campaign team conspired to defraud the U.S. Senate and the Federal Election Commission (FEC) by failing to report the true cost of a $2 million Hollywood campaign fundraising event in August 2000. David Rosen, Hillary Clinton’s National Finance Director, recently stood trial for his role in the campaign finance scheme, facing charges he caused false campaign finance reports to be filed with the Federal Election Commission. Federal prosecutors, in an effort to keep Hillary and Bill Clinton out of the trial, presented a watered down case and Rosen was eventually acquitted. Still, there is a mountain of evidence implicating Rosen and both Clintons, and this evidence can be found in the following complaint filed by Judicial Watch with the U.S. Senate’s Select Committee on Ethics.

MURTHA THE KISS OF DOOM!

Smart Choice John Murtha!
Hillary 08

Putz!

who?

another, fat politician supporting the clinton evil empire

Way to go Murtha!

Wow, John Murtha, I am sorry to hear you made this choice. I expected more from you.

On wonder he lost last time. He is on wrong side of the hitory.

Very Good – Superdelegates need to stand firm on the person who can best lead the Country – that person is Sen. Hilary Rodham Clinton!

Thank you Rep. Murtha

Dang, I thought Murtha wasn't a sell out. I guess I was wrong about him.

Not counting Florida and Michigan's vote is so unfair. Their primaries were more accurate than the caucuses. Our military men and women can't have their voices heard in a caucus unless they are on leave and that is sad.

Kudos to Congressman Murtha. Senator Clinton is clearly the better candidate on the economy, health care, and Iraq. On Iraq, there is no Democrat more respected than Murtha. I'm glad he didn't base his endorsement on one speech given six years ago.

As the terror in Rwanda had unfolded, Clinton had shown virtually no interest in stopping the genocide, and his Administration had stood by as the death toll rose into the hundreds of thousands.

But now there pro Africa

Go Hillary

It was so easy to find the Clinton misgivens but he Media Rating Game is focus on OBAMA

For get a bout the Clinton and Enron or Paul V Clinton as long as the Clinton is not Cheating on Hillary again

it not a rating grabber

Everyone who values experience and knowledge in a candidate endorses Clinton.

Good choice Murtha

EXCELLENT!!! I am so very happy to hear this and it is a BIG endorsement for Hillary Clinton who rightly deserves it.

John Murtha has been an excellent spokesperson against the war and against Bush. But he has chosen Senator Clinton over Senator Obama because he realizes EXPERIENCE matters.

That good Judgement is important, but Senator Clinton has shown us that her judgement in handling complex issues and crisis is sound.

I am anxious to cast my vote for Senator Clinton for President.

So.. the most crooked Congressmen endorses Clinton. Figures.

I used to like Murtha. Not anymore. He made the wrong choice.

OBama 2008 or NO ONE

I'm neither an outspoken supporter of Barack nor Hillary but it seems CNN is getting a bit partial here. Barack has received an awful lot of endorsements this last period and nearly all stayed totally unmentioned (most remarkable was to my opinion sen. Jay Rockefeller) and Hillary gets after a very very long draught finally one more and its big news??? Please report on all important ones... and just as important to me please keep track again on the superdelegate "who supports who" webpage which hasn't been updated since February 26.

We all know he will vote for his fellow white guy this November.

McCain '08

And I thought he was smarter than that

Thank you Rep. Murtha! I am glad to see that common sense has not completely deserted the Democratic party. After the revelations of the last few days, I do not believe any one other than Hillary Clinton will be able to win in November. We can not, as a nation, afford another 4 years of the same type of leadership we have had for the last 7. I believe Hillary Clinton to be the best person for the job. She is also the one who will be able to defeat Senator McCain.

who cares. never heard of the guy

Three cheers for John Murtha who sees the strongest candidate. Other super delegates will follow. While Barack gave an excellent speech this morning on race he executed a typical politician strategy of changing the subject to divert/deflect attention when the heat is getting a little too much to handle. The main issue revolving around Reverend Wright is one of judgment and character, not race. Barack can't run away from Reverend Wright and his close, personal and long-standing relationship with him. He lied about not sitting in services where Reverend Wright spewed his hateful, inflammatory and anti-American rhetoric. He admitted to it today that he was at some of these sermons. A lie he can't run away from. Judgment he can't run away from. If his supporters want to ignore or not accept these flaws then fine, that's their right. But don't pretend they don't exist. Pennsylvania sees it, the electorate sees it and the remaining primaries will reflect it. Divisive, Barack, his campaign and followers have to look no further than in the mirror.

Get ready to see a BIG swing in momentum. Obama had his 15 months of fame. Make way for Hillary!

whatever, she's not my canidate...the camp has caused so much division in the party as well as the black community and I've lost my respect for the clintons at this point

Isn't this the guy who was so whole bent on getting out of Iraq.
(the wrong war, the wrong policy). What a hypocrite. These people must think we have alzheimer's and can't remember a thing.

Voters,"WAKE UP" . The Clintons have created the greatest puppet show since Shari Lewis created "Lamb Chop".

NOTE: Their are some similarities

Go Hillary.

Change you can count on and believe it.

A old white man...what a surprise he would pick Hillary. He looks to be around her core age group alright.

Murtha just lost a lot of my respect.

Good for Hillary.

Crossing over party lines. Hillary – change you can count on and believe in.

Well done Rep. Murtha, a respectable member of Congress!

Go Hillary!

I will endorse her for a dosen Donuts. I like them Clintos and Donuts for the last 15 years

He must have some skeletons too hide also. Vote for the same,same,same ol' Washington.

Awesome!

I'm Happy he endorsed Hillary. Rep. John Murtha knows Hillary and what she stands for and realizes she is a leader who can get things done.

Good man, Murtha!! Go Hillary!! Step down Obama, there is no way you can win the general election now.

Can't agree with you more Mr Murtha!

Clinton '08

Clinton for Vice President 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MURTHA IS ALSO THE DEMOCRAT WHO HAS THE HIGHEST NUMBER OF EARMARKS.

CNN, my goodness. "He is also the latest so-called Democratic “Super Delegate” to choose sides in the contest between Clinton and Barack Obama. According to CNN's latest estimate."

SO-CALLED? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?

Martha,
You did a good decission to endorse Hillary Clinton. your judgment was perfect when you asked immediate troop withdrowl from Iraq. Martha's game is accuracy.
Obama's speech today was very articulated and wonderful. but, it is too little and too late
Ali

Go Hillary!!

who cares, he is wierd, and probabaly promised something... he will be on the losing side...

Why are all of these old people endorsing her. They don't want to see any real change in America. Why would they.

GREAT....This is good news!!!! Go Hillary!! Obama's 15 minutes are over!!

WOW,great news...go babe go...08

Hvae you heard about the lawsuit the clintons are involved in??

Yet another respected military voice supports Hillary. Not surprised. It's time for an ad with nothing but Murtha and all the former military officials supporting Hillary. Makes sense to me.

A man with common sense – perhaps all the "Obama Babes" are having serious second thoughts about him – he now admits he WAS in the congregation when his racist minister delivered the sermon, he now admits it was another $100,000 than originally declared from his crooked friend – what else is he lying about? Elect Hillary – she may not be perfect, but she's certainly not racist. Just take a look at where Bill is right now, digging for a better future for the poor in New Orleans.

I expect several more superdelegates from PA will endorse Clinton as well. Sadly, it won't change the outcome of the final contest where Barack Obama will be victorious.

To all of the Mexican American Hillary Clinton supporters.

HILLARY WILL THROW YOU UNDER THE BUS FIRST CHANCE SHE GETS.

Another intelligent voice. Thank you, Rep. Murtha!

Good Choice Representative Murtha, I thought you'd fall for hype of racist senator from Illinois.

As a woman, I can Almost feel sorry for Hillary But, naaaaaaa

Hillary has lied too much to the American people. She's dishonest and untrustworthy.

We really don't want any of her "Old Washington" experience.

We need new ideas, a new way of getting things finally done.
We need Obama !!

What needs to be asked is how much did Rep. Jonh Murtha sell his soul for. It should not be about knowing her for 15 years , it should be what can you do for this country Sen. Clinton when you lost in the state where you are the Sen. This just shows it is not what you can do for the country but who you know and what you are going to get from the deal.

Shame on you!!!!!!!!

Big John must owe some big favors to big Bill.

GO HILL!!!, and she also picked up one in West Virginia also Pat Maroney.

THIS MAN DOES NOT SUPPORT THE WITHDRAWAL OF TROOPS FROM IRAQ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SHE DOES, SO SHE SAYS!!!!! SO WHY THIS SUPPORT?????

SOMETHING SMELLS HERE!!!!!!!!!!

don't fall for this people!

This will really help Senator Clinton whenever Senator Obama starts harping on the war vote and his speech against it. Rep. Murtha gives her anti-war credentials.

YES! Another smart senator (Super Delegate) that chooses what is right for our country. We have to step back and really look at which of these both candidates will have the experience and drive to bring this country back to what it used to be and better.

alright.....BIG NAME MURTHA is endorsing Hillary. I will let u guess how many democrat delegates will follow Murtha's lead!!!!!!!!!!

Blah....blah...blah.... are we surprised?

under the table wheeling and dealing!!! Wake up Pennsylvannians.

Ed Rendell is involved with the clintons in the trial that will be comeing up later this year where they took money from a felon...

READ ABOUT HER DEALS WITH THESE POLITICIANS.... PENNSYLVANIANS DON'T BE FOOLED BY HER!!!!!!!!!!!

OLD John Murtha has backed the old lady Hillary in our pa campain. I would remind the old man last election he almost that year and backing her will be his last year in office because she like her old man billyboy had no tails in the election.

Good for you John, it takes a lot of guts, no shame in supporting a losing battle.

EXSPERINCE, ITS WHAT IT WILL TAKE AND ITS WHAT NEEDED.

she who laughs last , may get the last laugh?

missouri

ARE AMERICANS AWARE THAT HE SUPPORTED THE USE OF FORCE AND THE IRAQ QAR AND THAT HE DOES NOT SUPPORT THE WITHDRAWAL FROM IRAQ???

So it should make you Penssylvanians wonder why has this man decided to support Hillary--special favors, under the table wheels and deals!!!! WAKE UP PENNSYLVANIANS!!!!! DON'T FALL FOR HER TRICKS!!!!!

Vote for Obama!

Murtha I don't agree with your choice but I RESPECT you totally.
Obama08

He is right!

Well I want to see if the media will be fair and down play the fact that Barack is not expected to Win PA like they did with Hillary in Louissiana????????????

This is absolutely fantastic!! I hope Hillary Clinton wins Pennsylvania. Senator Clinton, we are supporting you here in Florida. Don't give up. Will be watching the primary results of Pennsylvania with baited breath.

GO HILLARY 08!!!!!

Look at the age of the man, he represents old style politics in Washington. Too old to want or support change!!

Good for you Murtha, you see what other idiots don't see. Obama has brought so much misery to the memocratic party, I just wish he never joined the party.

This is absolutely fantastic!! I hope Hillary Clinton wins Pennsylvania. Senator Clinton, we are supporting you here in Florida. Don't give up. Will be watching the primary results of Pennsylvania with baited breath.

GO HILLARY 08!!!!!

Yeeehaaaawwww!!! The SD's are seeing the light! Thanks, Rep. Murtha – you made the right decision.

Its the smart move polictically. His state is most likely going to go in Sen. Clintons favor, just look at the demographic, why take a black eye for nothing. I think your gonna see a migration of Super D's going Clintons way. IFshe win PA she has proven to the country that she can deliver the neccessary votes to win the states ( CA, FL, TX, OH, NY, MI,) that Dems have to win to succeed come Nov.
Barack has won more states, but the truth is that many of the states he has won, he or any Dem will simply not carrie come Nov. Does that make them irrelevant? No, but it is something that the Super D's must and will consider. And in the end given this unusually tight race, I see them putting forwar the most ELECTABLE canadate which is Hillary Clinton.

I am happy to hear that John Murtha announced the endorsement for Senator Clinton. I just hope it continues. We Americans do not need Obama. He has lied one time too many. He created this fale preception.

Thankyou!

Martin Luther King set non-violence as his credo. When violence erupted during the garbage collectors strike...he walked out. He was not going to remain and allow his presence to seem like approval.
Mr. Obama, who likens himself to MLK, stayed in a church, where the pastor, preached hate, anger, and divisiveness.
We are terrified of being accused of being a "racist" whenever we disagree with Senator Obama, or if we question his experience, knowledge, and understanding of the issues. However, when he supports an obvious racially biased pastor, and says we just don't understand. It is not as bad as it sounded.
Then he might consider how he sounds like many of the segregationists who tried to justify their beliefs during in the past...
Gov. Wallace for example.
Sorry, I am tired of feeling "white" guilt over slavery, and other mistreatments. They are not my views, and when I am in the presence of anyone expounding racist views, I speak up, and walk out. Senator Obama owes no less when faced with reverse racism.
I think his speed was a poorly veiled attempt to hoodwink us.
Thank you John Murtha for sticking to your values.

This the beginning of a super delegate momentum that will put Hillary over the top. I believe that people are starting to examine Obama's Judgement and his typical political nature. Obama's message is nice but in the last weeks more has been reveled about this Barrack H. Obama.
GO CLINTONITES.

Pennsylvania = smartest citizens ever

Yea!

Go Hillary. Even of you don't win the nom. I will still vote you as a write-in.

Thank you John Murtha for your support. Go Hillary!

wow, with his background what a surprise. the cubs will win the world series this year.

Yes! Thank you Congressman Murtha. Finally some good super delegate news.

Hillary 2008!

Let me put this into perspective.

Clinton has lost 15 out of the last 17 primaries.

She has won 2 out of the last 17 primaries

Obama has lost 2 out of the last 17 primaries.

Obama has WON 15 out of the last 17 primaries.

She won Ohio, she is probably going to win Pennsylvania, those victories combined are going to net her a total of probably 20 delegates... she needs 170+ to catch up to Obama.

You can lie to yourself and say those numbers aren't hard to catch up with... but if you looked into how many delegates are left at stake, you would know that at this stage in the game it is near impossible for her to even come close.

Stick a fork in her she is done... though nobody seems to have the heart to tell her.

Good for you, sir! You are a bona fide, genuine American Hero, and I've nothing but respect for you. You were the first to really take on George Bush, and you took a lot of heat for that, but you were right. You are a man of courage, conviction, and intelligence!

Democrats fall in love, Republicans fall in line. Does Murtha know that Hillary has been mathamatically eliminated and that prolonging this nomination process only hurts the Democratic party? Obama has a lead of 160 pledged delegates. Hillary gained 7 in her wins from Ohio and Texas and quickly lost that 7 delegate gain when Obama won in Wyomming and MS. So you see..she will never catch up she can only hope to spoil Obama's image for the general election. Murtha!! What are you doing???!!!

good for Clinton

So what she loses all these delegates..She is going to win the nomination because of superdelegates because they are loyal to her

You go Girl

Wonderful, wonderful. Thank you Rep Murtha for seeing the light.
The democratic party is headed for a landslide LOSS in November with Obama heading the ticket. Reagen democrats who loss interest
are tuning up the STOP Obama Express. How can you trust a man who would label his own grandmother a racist bigot and throw her under the bus to save his own hide?
The inevitable backlash in November will destroy the party and cause the loss of the majority in congress. Is he worth it? You decide.
VOTE HILLARY? HILLYES !!

That's a piece of welcome news for Clinton. I'm not sure if it changes much because Murtha himself has some mixed reviews. He's a strong anti-Iraq war critic but has liabilities with the Abscam scandal and "pork" (earmark scandals). He's also intensely anti-NAFTA.

Somewhat of a controversial figure and can be polarizing.

The big win for Clinton is his Pennsylvania roots and his superdelegate status. I am surprised this was announced so early before the primary.

John Murtha is a great and very wise man...

Another Democrat with ties to the establishment getting in line, too sad for him this endorsement will get little play in light of Obama’s speech today, but good try by the Clinton camp.

Re:Hillary Clinton – John Murtha

Even though I have held in high regard Sen. Murtha's courage to speak up on important issues in the past, I am thankful that he is taking an important step with backing Sen. Clinton. Keep up the good work!

Wooah.

That was unexpected.

Now it's time for the Obama crowd to start their bashing.

i hope hillary wins. obama go back to where you came from!

Well, that is typical, he is an old establishment politician as is Clinton. They stick together like glue.

That was expected; same politics as usual.

I think you are getting too old sir. I don't see the point, everything you say in your comment are the contrary of what clinton is capable to do. What's wrong with you???????? Yes sorry I just say it above,,,,

Figures, "Man of OLD Politics" endorsing "Woman of OLD Politics".
It amazes me, why is it that some people fear change, and new ways.
It is no different than removing old worn out clothing from your closet and replacing it with something newer and brighter.

Obama seeks to energize the people.

Clinton seeks to get votes by courting the leadership.

It shows the major contrast between the candidates.

While Obama goes directly to the people to energize people to his campaign and get them to want chance and to better our country, Clinton goes to the leadership and hopes that they will get her the votes she needs.

Obama is a man of the people, Clinton is a woman of the establishment..

i can't wait until this is over and Obama gets the nomination, and after the way Clinton is handling herself in this leg of the campaign her political career past the U.S. Senate is finished.

Obama is in the lead, even if Florida and Michigan were seated as is, Obama would still have over 120 more delegates than her, if she wins Pennsylvania he will still have more delegates than her.

If she won every single last state remaining by 20 points (Double her Ohio win) she would pull into the lead by 8 delegates.

If she does that well (20 point lead) in every state but TIES is North Carolina (a state Obama is surely going to win) she will be behind by 80 delegates.

Unless she finds a way to steal this election she is surely going to lose.

Popular vote can't be the measure we use to count. The vote is a representation of the whole state, and each state is given a certain amount of delegates for a reason. For instance is RI has more people turn out to vote than MA, RI still has the same amount of Delegates.

Our system to determine a winner is delegate count, a fact that the Clinton campaign is on RECORD saying up until they dropped into second place.

Obama will surely win this nomination... I am not even sure that Clinton won't drop out after Obama gained more delegates in Iowa and Florida is history.

The past versus the future. Murtha and Clinton are the past.

You've known her for 15 years, huh! I guess you might be aware of some of the scandolous deceptions she and her husband have been and are part of and some still a mystery to many inquiring minds that want to know! You probably based that decision on Rev. Wright didn't you, America is full of idiots!

Has Clinton really shown that she is the candidate who will be able to forge a consensus. Her polarizing campaign seems to have proven quite the opposite.

Another Dinosaur Democrat for Hillary. Not surprising.

I see he is not really serious about his anti-war stand!
How can you support someone who is directly responsible for the war starting???
What a hypocrite!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is huge for Hillary – Rep. Murtha is highly respected.

Yeah yeah ...go ahead and choose a side before you know the will of your constituents. Brilliant! Our state senators did the same thing before 2/3 of the voters chose the opposite of what they did. Now try to guess who's going to get voted out of office in the next state election. "Democracy"? Maybe the superdelegates need a refresher course.

CONSIDERING THAT OBAMA WON'T DROP FROM THE TUUC THE GOP WILL HAVE FIELD DAY WITH IT SO THE DNC NEEDS TO STEP IN AND SAY THAT OBAMAS CAMPAIGN IS DOA BEFORE NOVEMBER COMES AND WE ALL GET STUCK WITH ANOTHER 4 YEARS OF GOP AND THEN WE'LL ALL BE SOL

Is this a suprise for anyone ? I'm sorry but it just does not surprise me about Murtha, I expect most whites in Penn!

As a Republican, I really have embraced Clinton as of this last week. Her experience speaks for itself. She keeps her nose to the grindstone. She's realistic about gradually raising taxes to pay for this war and sure we get someone who knows about the politcial grind that Washington puts you through.
Obama, who is running on his judgement, has just blown his only argument for his candidacy. He has shown poor judgement on his Pastor. He has nothing else to go on. Sure he gets the college kids, who's parents still support them, to faint at his hollywood-type appearances.
If Hillary or McCain used the word "white" everywhere Obama says "black".....they would be deemed as bigots. Obama is angry because of the history of the United States and is continuing to keeping our black and white polulations separate by standing by someone who hates America. He likes rubbing our history in our face. Let's all get into the 21st century. All poor American's are in the same, small, lifeboat...,while all rich American's (1%) are in the Yacht. Oh, and there are black, rich American's in the Yacht as well.

Another well earned and well deserved endorsement for Senator Clinton. Popular votes matter and delegates matter... way to go Rep. Murtha.

How much did you get for this endorsement from both clinton..Shame on you sir, you just lost my respect...

Ok., Murtha endorses Hillary who in the world is Murtha?

That is terrific! He is endorsing a woman that should not be a role model for all women and cannot even manage her own marriage. How many other women, including Hillary supporters, would stay with a man that cheats on her publicly at least three times (ex: Jennifer Flowers, Paula Jones, Monica Lewinsky)??? Yet they are all looking up to this woman.

In addition – ask yourself "why does she stay with him?" Is it love? Is it for the power? Is it for her ambition? If it is for the last two – she will do and endure anything to be president. That is disgusting and she is no better than "Kristen" but at least Kristen is open about her business.

Glad that Murtha and the Hillary supporters have chosen such a great, upstanding candidate with such great leadership skills.

McCain in 08.

He is bogus in his presidential posturing by going there.
If he is elected, USA will have at least four more of the same.

Go Hillary Its good to see that we are not all taken in by a lot of fancy talk.

Thanks from a dedicated democrat and American for Hillary. John Murtha is a solid leader in the democratic party and extremely knowledgeable about Iraq and the military. Now, maybe more super delegates will choose Hillary Clinton for President.

Could this election be any more about old vs young? Obama and his supporters are trying to throw out the old guard, that has basically blown everything the past twenty years. The old guard and old way of doing politics is doing everything it can to hang in there.

Young people, keep working at it, Obama is going to win!

C'mon Murtha. I liked you. I thought you had sound judgement. You shouldn't have done this. "Experienced" people like you, McSame, Bush, Cheney and Billy boy are the reason we take one step forward and 2 steps backwards (did you notice how I did not mention Hillary as experienced?) – 1 stone, 2 birds.

The tide is turning.
Politicians are seeing past the fluff and realize that a better match against McCain would be Hilary.

John Murtha is a man of vision with the courage to do the right thing!!!

HILL YEAH!!!!

I DO BELIEVE THIS IS JUST ONE OF MANY PEOPLE WHO WILL BE BEGINNING TO BACK HILLARY CLINTON IN THE DAYS AND WEEKS TO COME. AND AFTER A DECISIVE WIN IN PENNSYLVAINA MORE WILL BE GATHERING ON BOARD SOON. WE ARE ALL BEGINNING TO SEE WHO AND WHAT OBAMA IS AND ALOT OF PEOPLE ARE GOING IN THE DIRECTION THEY SEE IS THE RIGHT ONE....CLINTON FOR PREZ! ITS JUST PLAIN AND SIMPLE, WHEN YOU LOOK AT WHO THE CANIDATES SAY THEY ARE AND WHO THEY ARE REVEALED TO BE ITS IN SIMPLE VIEW THAT NIETHER OBAMA NOR MCCAIN ARE WHO WE WANT LEADING OUR NATION AHEAD. ALL OF THIS ABOUT BARRACK OBAMA COMMING OUT THIS WEEK, ALONG WITH HIS WIFE SAYING SHE HAS NEVER BEEN PROUD OF THIS COUNTRY UNTIL NOW, AND THE FACT THAT OBAMA'S WIFE AND CHILDREN WERE MEMEBERS OF THAT CHURCH AND HAVE BEEN FOR YEARS, BEING TAUGHT THOSE VIEWS. AND WITH THE NAFTA DEALS ALONG WITH THE SHADY AND CRIMNAL DEALINGS OF SOME OF OBAMA'S CLOSE FRIENDS ITS APPARENT HE IS NOT WHO ALOT OF PEOPLE THOUGHT HE WAS AND NOW THAT THEY SEE THAT THE ARE GONNA BE GOING FOR SOMEONE WHO REALLY HAS A SHOT AT BEATTING MCCAIN IN NOVEMBER. ITS ALL PLAIN ANS SIMPLE. WHILE I HAVE NOT BEEN A BIG FAN OF MURTHA'S BEFORE I APPLAUD HIM NOW! THANK YOU.

I just can believe it... very desapointing, How can you support someone who vote for the war without any judgement...shane on you

For some, nagging questions remain. Did I know him to be an occasionally fierce critic of American domestic and foreign policy? Of course. Did I ever hear him make remarks that could be considered controversial while I sat in church? Yes. Did I strongly disagree with many of his political views?

Then why did he lie to CNN when he was asked right after the story broke out ? He said he had never heard. Now in his speech today he admits to having heard remarks that could be considered controversial. ( See above )

I just wanted to comment briefly that after several weeks of equal footing and tone for Obama and Clinton, it seems that once again a shift is occuring in the favoritism towards Obama. For example, in the "New in the Ticker" column, Murtha endorses Clinton, CNN makes the following statement: "According to CNN's latest estimate, Clinton leads Obama among super delegates by 30, though that margin is significantly less than it was before Super Tuesday." It would have sufficed to end the sentence at "30". Instead, CNN adds a bit of editorial flair "significantly less than it was before Super Tuesday" to ensure that the reader somehow does not end up with the impression that Murtha´s endorsement is all that significant. The implication is that Clinton is trailing or will trail. It would be balanced journalism to allow the reader to decide for him or herself whether this was a significant change. This slight shift or negativity is one of a few examples over the last week in which CNN appears to tilt towards Obama. Could you be more cautious? This is not subtle journalist. Your readers can catch on to bias more easily than we are given credit. Many thanks, Eric Cimon

HILLARY ALL THE WAY!!!

A good move - Murtha is an old pol with his old foot in his mouth ... just the kind of person HRC calls her base.

Obama 08

But of course. He'd look foolish endorsing someone else after all his anti-war, loosing whinning.

THank you, Rep. Murtha. Come on, Pennsylvania, lets vote for Senator Clinton!

Congratulations Senator Clinton and Thank You Rep. Murtha!!! Hillary deserves this endorsement!!!!!!!!!!!

Go Hillary , Go !!!!!

THANK YOU GREAT MOVE ...HILARY WILL MAKE A GREAT PRESIDENT...................

Now that's an endorsement worth mentioning!!

Good for him, I guess he can't add.

It is my perspective that Superdelegates will be forthcomming in endorsing Senator Hillary Clinton now, due to Sen. Obama's affiliations with Rev Wright "His Mentor" and controvertial friends.

Is this her brother they look and talk alike....... she will represent him, for sure, he is the status quo.......and that is what clinton stand for...
privelige for the few and the ones who are chosen.

No surprise here

GOOO HILLARY! This is GOOD STUFF!

Way to Murtha for showing courage like Maya Angelou said in TV interview in response to why she is supporting Hillary over Obama.

It is time to stop getting fooled by oratory learnt from a venomous pastor, saying one things in the capmapign and planning for the opposite when elected, false patriotism whn records show hatred for the country and the people.

Wow! One question Murtha, "who voted for the war in Iraq that you so diligently opposed?"

It is impossible for Clinton to catch up from a PURE MATH standpoint.

She'd have to win every contest from here out by a 35%+ margin and even then she might not catch up.

Impossible. Stop arguing. It's over.

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!

ANOTHER ENDORSEMENT FOR A GREAT LADY!!

TAKE US TO THE FINISH LINE HILLARY!!

AMERICA LOVES YOU!!

VOTE HILLARY
VOTE HILLARY
VOTE HILLARY

Oh I see. It's not just me.

Kiss of death after his turning his back on the military.

I DON^T MIND OBAMA DOING SOME DAMAGE CONTROL BY GIVING GOOD SPEECHES AND TWISTING THE FACTS.....

BUT I AM AGAINST THE LEADING DEMOCRATS WHO WERE SHOWING THEIR SUPPORT TO OBAMA AND GIVING ENDORSEMENTS AND TELLING THE MEDIA THAT OBAMA IS A TRUE LEADER WITHOUT ACTUALLY KNOWING THIS PERSON...

WHERE IS ACCOUNTABILITY????

There goes Obama's argument against Hillary over Iraq!

CLINTON '08

looks like everybody is endorsing hillary? Pa come on now your racists ways are showing too. I guess racism will always be a part of our world, its so sad.

We should expect nothing less from an old time Washington insider. To move forward you need to be willing to learn from the past. Murtha has messed up everything else he has ever done, why should his support be right this time.

Good judgment Murtha! After this 20 years hate feeding frenzy fiasco by the Obamas, is there any doubt that the ONLY electable democrat candidate is HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON?

HILLARY 08

Way to go Clinton

Obama's church claims to be enemies of white people. Whats up with that?

What did I ever do to blacks, we have been working for over 30 years to provide equallity.

According to Obama'a Pastor they do not want equality they want sapremicy. Obama needs to step down.

I am a cross over was Obama, cannot be now

Clinton\EDWARDS 2008

"YOUR FIRED NANCY PELOSI"

Excellent choice! Let us show how strong HILLARY is in PA! Let's unite to vote for her in WHITE HOUSE!

Check if this old peeps have more than ten years to live

That is terrific! He is endorsing a woman that should not be a role model for all women and cannot even manage her own marriage. How many other women, including Hillary supporters, would stay with a man that cheats on her publicly at least three times (ex: Jennifer Flowers, Paula Jones, Monica Lewinsky)??? Yet they are all looking up to this woman.

In addition – ask yourself "why does she stay with him?" Is it love? Is it for the power? Is it for her ambition? If it is for the last two – she will do and endure anything to be president. That is disgusting and she is no better than "Kristen" but at least Kristen is open about her business.

Glad that Murtha and the Hillary supporters have chosen such a great, upstanding candidate with such great leadership skills.

McCain in 08.

Yep, the Geezers With Wheezers will all come out for Hillary, who hasn't successfully wooed a voter under 40 since 1992.

What, are superdelegates just betting on who might win now? Unfortunately, he might be betting correctly, since Hillary has this election rigged anyway.

Great news! Thank you Rep. Murtha!

good job murtha

PURE SCAM....WELL DONE

It's over Billary! Everyone but you can see it. Are you hoping for an Obama collapse?

This is what Hillary needed someone like John Murtha to endorse her now. I can only hope more will follow

Its about time ! Im a latino veteran and im pleased with his choice!!

As an Obama supporter, I am very pleased that this person has endorsed Clinton...

another white person endorsing a white person. Racist.

Nobody will believe Obama now.
Hillary 2008!!!!!!!!

How much did she pay you to endorse, you pig.

Does he not realize that she has lost the nomination? Why is he jumping on her side when it's time to stop this in-fighting and move on to the nomination.

It's time for Hillary to stop hurting the party to further her own political agenda.

If the Superdelegates pick Hillary and takes it away from Obama, that would be the biggest mistake the party has ever made. I for one, will not vote for Hillary if she wins that way.

Too bad, he's on the wrong side of history. How much did Hillary pay him?

Obama 08

Ya! Way to go Hillary! You are our most viable candidate for 2008!

This nation needs a true leader.

This is fantastic! Just fantastic! People are beginning to realize that Obama is a dangerous joke.
