Elizabeth Taylor urges primary voters to back Clinton

The actress and activist officially endorsed Clinton Friday.
The actress and activist officially endorsed Clinton Friday.

(CNN) - Actress Elizabeth Taylor urged voters in next week’s Democratic primaries to back Hillary Clinton's White House run, saying in a statement released Friday that the New York senator was “not a flibbertijibbet.”

“It would be magnificent for our country if Senator Clinton won the votes, hearts and minds of the people in Indiana and North Carolina on Tuesday. She’s a brilliant teacher and powerful leader. We all know what she’s about. We know what she isn’t. Senator Clinton is not a flibbertijibbet [sic]. She’s strong,” said Taylor.

“It’s also important for great leaders to have a sense of humor about themselves. The future of our great country rests in the hands of the next president. Who sits in the Oval Office will be determined greatly by the citizens of Indiana and North Carolina. In my heart, I know they will choose wisely and they will choose well.”

The actress and activist is a longtime Clinton supporter who has donated the legal maximum of $4,600 to the senator’s campaign.

In January 2007, Taylor also pointed to Clinton’s toughness as the reason she was contributing to her presidential bid. "I have contributed to Sen. Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign because she has a mind of her own and a very strong one at that," Taylor she said in a statement then. "I like the way she thinks. She is very savvy and a smart leader with years of experience in government, diplomacy and politics."

    Hillary is NOT tearing apart the democratic party. Hillary is doing just what any Clinton does— take advantage of any situation given to them (e.g., Monica L., Sniper-fire; NAFTA, Michigan and FL votes etc.).

    The real people splitting this party are the "bilnd" and uneducated supporters of Hillary. How can Hillary, with more negatives than any politican (except Gov. Bush), ever run a successful general election in this nation? The Republicans and Independents are praying for that day to come!!! We will have to thank, not Hillary (because she will be off somewhere with her $109 million), but her "bird-brain" supporters

    SO?!?! Liz Taylor did ONE good movie (no, not Cleopatra). Even if she'd done A HUNDRED good movies, who in the hell cares what she thinks?!?! That's like saying, "Vote Obama - George Clooney says he's neat!"

    I wouldn't listen to Elizabeth Taylor if she was the last person on earth. How many times has she been married? She does not have very good judgement in her choices of men let alone tell others who to endorse for president.....Go Obama!!!!

    This endorsement should carry some major weight !!!! Guess Obama has been knocked out. I didnt know Ms Taylor was still alive... I just dont keep up with those elitists..........

    May 2, 2008 06:30 pm at 6:30 pm |
  22. Jenny

    Ok so Elizabeth Taylor slept with how many married men? and Married Bill Clinton slept with how many women? and Hillary stayed with him to further her political carreer? No wonder they stick together.

    None of the 3 have any morals and I don't want that kind of morals back in the White House.

    Boy. An old actress who has had all sorts of drug and alcohol problems, been a big supporter and pal of Michael Jackson a pedophile.
    . WOW.
    Why in the world should that influence Me??? It is more significant that Clinton cabinet members have come out for Obama! And more Senators support Obama over Clinton having served with both.

    Again just another old woman who wants to see a woman in the oval office.

    Obama would be better than Clinton could ever hope to be. We need a leader who is truthful not one who lies every time she opens her mouth.

  28. Sallie Mae, Ex-Hillary Supporter

    Hillary is a smart liar who knows how to bend, manipulate, cover up and distort the truth. But the voters in Indiana, North Carolina and the rest of America are on to her! What she fails to realize is that we can think for ourselves. We're smart, too! Say NO to Hillary Clinton and the politics of the past! ANYBODY BUT HILLARY IN '08!

    I'm Sallie Mae and I approve this message!

    OBAMA '08

  36. White voter for Obama

    Clinton is not a strong, independent woman. She is nothing more than a feminist doormat. Most women with far fewer resources would not have stayed with a spouse like Bill Clinton. But she needs his filthy lucre and network to get what she wants. Heaven help this country if they return to the White House.

    I'm glad one of these celebrity backers are actually paying attention to the issues that actually matter. I say good choice, she actually picked someone that has solutions that would not only change but benefit the American people.

    Yeah, because the endorsement of a 76 year old actress actually counts. I can't wait until Michael Jackson and his monkey endorse John McCain.

    Hillary has problems that will cause her to take focus off the coutry.. Hint (Jail) Peter Paul Case is a big issue.

    Hillary is a lier
    Hillary is said, God Bless the Rich..
    So no wonder she has Eliz Taylor backing her.. She is rich too..
    So naturally she would want Hillary to win..

    Poor people like me need a president to help us, not drain our wallets to cover the taxes for the Rich.

    Down with Hillary

    Get ready for the Obama morons to flood this with irrelevant comments and lies. Guess what Obama? You are your supporters and today they spread around a doctored video for you – how disgusting. If you win, I can't wait to abandon the Democratic party and vote McCain – I will EVEN CONTRIBUTE TO HIS CAMPAIGN JUST TO SEE YOU LOSE. AND I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE!

    In certain circles, Clinton may not be a flibbertijibbet, but on no account can she be considered a hortonwillersnit. I hardly see how we can back someone who actually lacks definition.

  57. David D Kollie

    Being a president is not an actress' job. Hillary is a good actress but not for the presidency. She lied three time about Bosnia and said she misspoke. Actors and actresses misspeak and inpersonate. Hillary should not be misspeaking when men and women of the United States military are putting their lives on the line each day abroad.

    I agree with you Lize I see things the same way you do. Hillary is our only hope. Please North Carolina and Indiana vote for her. I dont think you will be sorry

  59. aware

    Right Elizabeth!

    Hillary Clinton the smart choice 2008 and 2012! :)

    Obama, the freshman senator, is too inept, too dishonest, too elitist and lacks judgment/credibility. He keeps some very questionable company and says some very questionable things behind closed doors. He is extremely slow to respond – 20 years? Also, for a campaign with a mantra of unity, his bloggers/supporters are just plain mean! :(

    The far left media doesn't get to decide for America on their far left choice!

    America is centrist and will vote accordingly in the General Election!

    All these celebrities who are waking up from their political comas need to be quiet. No one cares. Their choices hold as much creedance as The Man On The Moon. And I'm insulted that they think we can't think for ourselves and that somehow we need their help. Give me a break.

She is NOT a good role Model for My girls, or my grandaughters..I am sure we will see a woman elected President down the Road, BUT she is NOT the One !!!! We need change, and Hope and Unity in this Country, and Hillary is NOT going to be doing that.... OBAMA will Will win the Nomination ,and Once again , Please stay OUT of this Election... Obama 08

    Okay Then! Now Hillary is supported by the very old who think a Black man has to use the back door to enter the White House. The uneducated and ignorant who also think the same . And now Crazy old Hollywood has beens. A coalition is forming. Now gather in the Hitler Youth. Add the right wing nut jobs who are impressed by Hillary's Nuke Iran threat. And any other Racists that just cannot sleep at night thinking that a fine, honest,intelligent Man might become President. Now we have the NEW DEMOCRATS and their standard bearer Hillary (Bush lite ) Clinton.

    Hillary had her chance to make a difference and she failed.
    Its time to bring on the politic of Obama.

    I will not vote for Hillary.. No matter what happens.
    I will not vote for McCain.. No matter what happens
    I will vote for Obama, because he is going to bring a change.
    I believe in what he has to offer..
    I don't want no quick fix on the gas prices.
    I want some changes on the gas prices.

    After seeing Mrs Clinton's interview with Bill Oreily I have to say it was the strongest I have heard her sound yet. Mrs Taylors endorsement is welcome I'm sure but more interviews on Fox news will do her much more good. Eat that cnn !!!!!!! so much for the fox news boycott, there ratings sky rocketed for the last two nights,,,,,, I wonder who or what party was watching ??????????

  86. Tim from Eugene OR.

    Not surprised to hear the ancient supporting the old. I always wondered what the people who experienced the past turn of the centurys felt like. I thought this would be an exciting time full of hope and wonder. But we were robbed of that as we all were saturated with fear and scare tactics, day after day. Most of it designed to keep us frozen and afraid as the wealthy stole all the wealth. I am voting for Obama because he dosn't seem to be of the old guard, old politics. We are already about ten percent into this new century and I am sick of the old ways. I am ready for the future.

    That's about as valuable an endorsment as her buddy Michael Jackson's. She's plum loony.

  97. Bill-S

    More from the same old sad establishment. Very much out of touch and from a different time. We need new leadership who has a vision for the future and is not tied in with the old corrupt oligarchs of the past. Hillary is not for the future, she is part of the problem.

    Please PLEASE CNN.do not print my previous comment! I thought Taylor was backing Obama. This makes me feel like a fool! Maybe I am

  101. Philandis Wimbush

    I have been waiting for a sign from heaven, and finally it has arrived. Liz Taylor, that model of stability ( she's been married , what, 7or 8 times?) has declared for Hillary. That's good enough for me. Whatever a flider..., filderb..., flipperty....Oh hell, whatever it is, I think Liz must be one.

    May 2, 2008 06:44 pm at 6:44 pm |

    This is practically an endorsement for Obama!

  104. Norman

    Thank God! Elizabeth Taylor finally came out to back a candidate. For a while, I was lost. It's good that we have the views of people who have nothing to do with the campaign and obviously have done little else but gender research publicized in the hope of swaying some votes.

    Go play with Michael Jackson.....who cares about your opinion. What have you done NEW in the past 25 years????

    who cares.

    May 2, 2008 06:46 pm at 6:46 pm |
  107. Brazza Man

    Oh yes – consider the source.

    And a supporter of Michael Jackson as well, crippled for years with substance abuse issues, and a true spokesperson for main stream America?

    Please good citizens of Indiana and North Carolina - look toward the future, leave aside the Clinton baggage of the past, and vote for a unifying figure, Barack Obama, with hope, trust and transparency to unite this great land after years of division, hatred and mistrust.

    We did not have that under Clinton-I, and do not believe for a moment that Hillary will change stripes at this late date - although her "make-over" artists are doing a wonderful job of putting her out this week in cutsy pinks, yellows, etc. to show the "softer side?" Don't be fooled.

    May 2, 2008 06:46 pm at 6:46 pm |

  109. James

    Is that surprising: Liz Taylor is exactly Hillary's demographic: wealthy, old female.

    and flibbertijibbet, where the heck did she get that from? Was she trying to impress us with an obscure word or does she really talk that way?

    May 2, 2008 06:46 pm at 6:46 pm |
  110. Tony, Miami

    She is formidable she must be around 125 years old and probably already change any big or little piece of her body. Don't listen to her she is senile that she can't correct yet.

  111. Big Al

    Has anyone noticed that no matter what blog CNN puts up for discussion everyone gravitates to the Clinton vs Obama race.

    And so I would like to thank Elizabeth Taylor who still recognized talent when she hears it and see it...

    Hillary R. Clinton, the first female president in the history of America and an Iron Women she will be for this glorious country...

    God Bless America and God Bless Ms. Taylor

    Barack Obama is the best man for the job period!!!!!!!!!
    If he had certain physical characteristics that all the former presidents have in common he would have been the democratic nominee a long time now and would be on his way to become president. What a pity! wat a shame indeed!

    May 2, 2008 06:48 pm at 6:48 pm |
  115. Ellie in Aurora, CO

    And we should care because? I don't recall Liz Taylor being any kind of a political activist or expert on any issues. Many Hollywood types are very involved in politics and I respect them for their commitmet. But Liz Taylor? Really?

    May 2, 2008 06:48 pm at 6:48 pm |
  116. Amy

    Considering how out of it she usually is, I doubt she said that. Probably one of her people is a Clinton backer.

    Wow... I'm convinced! Not! With all due respect to Ms Taylor, but Clinton is not for the people. She's for herself and only herself!

    May 2, 2008 06:48 pm at 6:48 pm |
  122. mouli

    yep, Senator Clinton is strong, strong-armed with belligerent rhetoric showing a readiness to annihilate another country from the podium of the white-house, positively negative. The future of the country does not rest with the past pathways of status quo.

    I too hope that wisdom will prevail.

    May 2, 2008 06:48 pm at 6:48 pm |
  123. J-Syxx

    Who cares what this old bag thinks? Why is this news? Maybe they should go to the Chicago history museum and talk to the fossilized skeleton of of the Tyrannosaurus Rex to see who he endorses.

    Elizabeth Taylor, great actress and I repeat actress. If you listen to any actor/actress on politics then you need to reevaluate where you get your news from.

    I decide who I vote for, from listening to the issues not Wright, not Bill C., Not Bruce S., not 50 cent, I make my decisions not some actor/actress.

    PS. I know this won't get posted I've yet to see any of my comments and I comment EVERYDAY!!!!

  132. Mandy, California

    Voting for Hillary because she is a woman is a wasted vote. Elizabeth Dole was a better candidate but the public wasn't ready for a woman President back then.

    Why not wait until a legitimate woman candidate comes along wihtout all the baggage and negative ratings and vote for her!

    May 2, 2008 06:51 pm at 6:51 pm |
  133. Jason Means

    I'm desperately looking for the "is this actually news" or "who really cares" button in the corner of my screen. Who in the world honestly cares about what Elizabeth Taylor thinks or who she endorses for president – much less if she thinks they're a "flibbertiwhatever". Give me a break. Come on CNN – help me out here – let's at least get something that resembles actual news.

    May 2, 2008 06:51 pm at 6:51 pm |
  134. Sounds like Bush!

    She's probably on her meds! I for sure will vote for HRC because this lady said too....give me a break. Bet she picks her candidate endorsements as well as she picks her husbands....

    With all due respect for your longevity as an actress the only thing Hillary should be in line for is an Oscar for the most dubious characterizations in the shortest period of time.

  140. Anastasia Beaverhausen

    Oh, Lord! Elizabeth Taylor? Come on! She hardly knows whether she's coming or going most of the time, so what difference does her endorsement make? In that crazy head of hers, she probably thinks Barack Obama is Hillary Clinton, and vice versa. A woman with her past can't commit to anything anyway, especially since she has married twenty different men over the years. She'll be rooting for Obama next week.

    May 2, 2008 06:52 pm at 6:52 pm |
  141. Jay Shah

    this is simple one old hag supporting another. Liz taylor has no reason to saying about politics. She should get married for a 9th time instead!

  142. Cameron

    Way to go Liz; I am glad to see woman coming out for Senator Clinton. I've been trying to convince my women friends for 8 years that Hillary will be strong voice for women and ultimately for our country. Mrs. Edwards supports Hillary too. Go Hillary!

    The path to our first woman President goes as follows: two wins on Tuesday will send the automatic (Super) delegates towards Hillary and when the DNC adds MI and FL as they have promised at the end of month the picture will become clear – Hillary is the most electable candidate for the Democratic Party. The icing on the cake, putting her ahead in the delegate count and the popular vote, will be when Hillary wins the winner-take-all primary with 63 delgates in Puerto Rico.

    People do not give up the fight, because we have Hillary fighting for us.

    RIGHT ON LIZ TAYLOR!!!! I always knew why I loved you ! GO HILLARY

    Yes and Lizzy is Bossum Buddies with all of the Clintons radical Freinds. Like the several members of the Weather Underground Terorist Group that Bill Clinton pardoned after they were convicted of terrorist bombings and sentenced to long prison terms.

    May 2, 2008 06:53 pm at 6:53 pm |
  145. Bob, Lyons Oregon,

    Well, I beg to differ with Elizabeth. Clinton is not a strong candidate, she does not tell the truth and panders to get votes. I will not be voting for her. She is a divider, and Obama is a uniter. With all her years of experience, I don't see that she has accomplished much of anything. She has not run a very smart or decent campaign. I will not vote for her. Vote for your children, Vote Obama. Its time to change things in Washington for your children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, not old actresses out of touch with what america really needs.

    Gee an 80 year Mrs Taylor endorsing Hillay. Now what a shock that is. I beleive hillary gets 80% of the 80 and over crowd.

    May 2, 2008 06:54 pm at 6:54 pm |
  151. KH

    Obama's campaign should now get former DNC chair Joe Andrew and make an Ad about why he has switched from Clinton to Obama. Cite all the reasons he gave in his endorsement letter and hammer in on the gas issue. Take that ad and run it in IN & NC over the weekend.

    The folks in the political arena who are behind Hillarious Clinton are the ones who 'OWE' Bill 'Cigar' Clinton! Like that Judge in the Peter Paul vs Clinton case! Shhhhhh dont tell nobody till AFTER Nov!

    I'm not sure what a "flibbertijibbet" is! But I do think that if Hillary had not begun to use her negative "kitchen sink" campaign strategy against her democratic opponent, she may have been more likable. After that, and a few other faux pas, her like-ability and trustworthiness went to flibbertijibbet!

    Hillary is NOT tearing apart the democratic party. Hillary is doing just what any Clinton does— take advantage of any situation given to them (e.g., Monica L., Sniper-fire; NAFTA, Michigan and FL votes etc.).

    The real people splitting this party are the "bilnd" and uneducated supporters of Hillary. How can Hillary, with more negatives than any politican (except Gov. Bush), ever run a successful general election in this nation? The Republicans and Independents are praying for that day to come!!! We will have to thank, not Hillary (because she will be off somewhere with her $109 million), but her "bird-brain" supporters

    Can someone tell me what in the world makes these entertainers the eye opener to the candidates because I will not vote for any candidate based upon the elite who back them. They are in a totally different tax bracket that I will be in if I win LOTTO. So tell me again, why does Liz Taylor or any other entertainer matters in this process!!!

    Elizabeth Taylor,a woman of substance,makes a lot of sense,when she describes who Hillary Clinton is,when it comes to knowing who our President is going to be.Not the simplistic shoving of a President to be down, the throats of the voters.No No ,this is the United States of America.Due process are considered in Courts for every citizen and all that live and try to make life better for their families .The judiciary has not got the fix it quick and we move on.When it comes to disenfenchising voters,then something is not right.This is happening in the middle of a debacle in Florida and Michigan States.Now they want to dictate what suites them best,their candidate,who they think is going to win.What if it does not work their way???? Let true democracy work.

    what a ditzy sounding woman.

    i wish the endorsers of any presidential candidate would just shut up. This article says to me:

    "supporting hillary is so easy, a cave (wo)man could do it."

    OMG again and again – who cares what she or any other actors says regards politics. She has no more voice than I do the average voter! She is no one special at all whether she was backing Clinton, Obama, McCain or the man on the moon.

    CNN this is not news ad you shoudl be ashamed of yourselves!

    I'm sure Clinton supporters will be happy about this, but my vote will still go to Barack Obama. He will be my next president.

    Love you Liz, but you don't know Hillary.

    That's all nice and dandy.

    The problem with the Clintons is that they need to step aside and let some new blood lead this country. They had their time in the sun. More than that they have a history of deception. Of course, this is the dirty world of politics but Hillary is not truthful in almost every step of the way. Sooner or later people start to think about this.
    And the conclusion they come to is that the Clintons are misguided or frauds.

    this is getting nuts, i'm sorry but this really is getting out of hand. first of all, it's not news, second, how is she the voice of reason to tell people how to vote?

    May 2, 2008 07:05 pm at 7:05 pm |
  206. Brian in Windsor Ontario

    Hummm, a woman over 60... Yes, it would be expected that she would support Sen. Clinton. Celebrety endorsements are pretty lame... except Springsteen, and he is supporting Obama...

    coming from someone who has been married 7 or is it 8 times? and one who has been reputed to have addictions, does she have the kind of judgement that folks should pay attention to? I'm glad she endorsed Clinton – whew! I was afraid she would endorse Obama who has a loving wife (only one) and two beautiful children.

    Talk about ELITE people. My Question How many pants suits does Hillary Clinton own. Does she ever wear a dress or is it more important to be "testicular". Doesn't fly with me.I don't care for women who think they are one of the guys! Men should run the country not a women who cries, lies and cheats our country.

    May 2, 2008 07:06 pm at 7:06 pm |

    The state of our country is in worse shape than I originally thought if anyone actually cares what Elizabeth Taylor thinks. Does she even know her own mind? How many times has she been married...at least 8! Gimmeabreak!

    So wait, this is essentially a good thing for Obama. Who wants this crotchety old woman's support? And since when is a hollywood endorsement news? Thank you again, tabloid CNN.

    I agree with Liz Taylor and Maya Angelou!

    It's time for real change. After years and years of men at the helm–it's about time we have a strong woman steer the country back in the right direction! Historical? "Madame President!"...How that for Historical and Groundbreaking!
    I hope the voters of Indiana and North Carolina steer this primary season back in the right direction.

    Only ET could find a way to pry 'flibbertijibbet' into a presidential endorsement. The hollywood elite has stayed pretty quite on this race, I've noticed. There hasn't been lot of hooting and hollering coming from the West Coast during this contest. I wonder if they've gotten the hint that it doesn't help with the folks in fly-over America, and the silence is by design.

    May 2, 2008 07:07 pm at 7:07 pm |

    SHUT UP! Liz Taylor you wretched old wacko. You HAD your 15 minutes already. Why should ANYONE care what YOU think about WHO should be President. Who do you think you are? Sean Penn?

    Paleeze! Go back to sleep. Now why would I take her word for it...how many times has she been married? Didn't she believe in Michael and later was not seen with him in public anymore? Liz, select your candidate but don't tell others who they should choose. Clinton has earned her own suspicions as a flibbertijibbet as have you!!!

    Obama 08-12 – All the way – Yes we can change!!!

    May 2, 2008 07:08 pm at 7:08 pm |

    Not surprising. She is certainly emblematic of Clinton's key demographic: fat, elderly, white, & delusional

    Sorry Liz.. That isnt happening. Her husband sent my family in a tailspin and that I can not forget nor forgive. I don't think Hillary will be any better from her own lies / confusion, flip flopping on NAFTA and the list could go on.. Again its Obama or I stay home plain and simple..

  226. Joe, Northern Virginia

    Who cares are what Miss Taylor says... she has never taken her own life seriously? How does she expect anyone in his or her right mind to treat what she says with any relevance? She is stuck in the past just like the person she is endorsing. Miss Taylor this about the FUTUER not the past. That same business as usual attitude in Washington that has turned things soar in our country isn't going to cut it this time around. We need fresh minds...

    VIVA OBAMA!!

    Taylor needs to stick to what she does best: Husbands, perfume and movies.
    Movie stars, unless they are running for office, should stick to what they do best.
    I take offense at her comments about Clinton being a good teacher.
    The woman who acted like the intern her husband had sex with while at work was a major inconvience didn't teach us anything but deny, deny, deny.
    She didn't have the grace or leadership to get him to admit the truth and move on.

    Glad to hear one more for Clinton, I state again if Obama gets it I will vote for McClain. So if McClain gets it it will be the fault of the big wigs in the party who are to bull headed to listen to what Obama is and want their own way. Such as not counting the FL and MI votes. Get rid of those and get someone with common sence in.

    May 2, 2008 07:10 pm at 7:10 pm |
  232. Oh! Great!

    I will go right out and vote for HRC because this lady said too...get real! Elizabeth can't pick a husband but can pick the President...give me a break! How old is she? I am surprised she even knows what is going on, but then she has alot of money in the bank too, isn't in touch with America!

    Since when does Elizbeth Taylors opinion matter! I find it amazing that we act as if Celebrities that know how to act, have a more intelligent knowledge when it comes to Politics. Hillary is an actor want to be, and shows it each time she acts with her ever changing stories. If the Democrats cannot come up with anything better than Hillary, or Obama, then the Democratic party is in major trouble. Neither one will do anything to improve the economy, or the price of gas.

    Hillary is a politician.
    Hillary is a senior in the white house.
    Hillary has the heart and mind to work for public service.
    But,
    She can not be our president.
    She can not unite people in this country. She does not truly understand how other governments works in their system, especially middle east and Asian countries. She has no clue about how they think. Therefore, she can not promote peace.
    She has no integrity. She mends problems. She goes what is popular. She has no ability to think through a challenging problem so that to make a crucial judgment to solve a problem from its roots.
    I warn you, vote for her is a vote for doom!!!

    US Magazine August 28, 2000 shows Peter Paul's Japanese partner Tendo Oto, with his interpreter VP Johnathan Rodgers, sitting behind the Clintons at the Gala Concert Fundraiser for Hillary Clinton (Event 39) paid for and produced by Paul. Oto was prohibited from attending and/or contributing to a federal fundraising event and he was unable to be vetted by the Secret Service because he had no Social Security number. He was "smuggled" in by Clinton agents Rosen, Levin with the approval of the Clintons because of his business relationship with Paul and through him the Clintons.

    well thank you Liz, by the way when is the last time you bumped your gas. Also the saving $35 for a short term gain is not that smart of a plan especially ,if the replublicans have to go along with a windfall profit tax on oil companies, get real people. Most people called that
    pandering, but she is not elite, yeah right .Also why doesn't she fire
    Mark Penn a notorius uniom buster, paying him about $10 million, but can't find the money to pay her workers benefits, or for that matter
    her old high school for rent she owe. Hmmm. And when will the
    media report on Peter Paul. Did you attend Liz, inquiring minds want to know. Have you got your subpoena yet?

    "She is very savvy and a smart leader with years of experience in government, diplomacy and politics." - Liz Taylor

    You're right, Liz – Clinton is savvy, smart, blah blah blah – when you compare her against YOURSELF. However, your baseline is wrong my dear.

    Try comparing her against Obama – you will realize he far outweighs her in savviness and smartness.

    As for her experience? That didn't help us whole lot when the vote for Iraq war came up, did it?

    Experience that doesn't translate to good decisions is no good. Sorry, but I will take Obama's "inexperience" anyday over Hillary's experience.

    I agree wholeheartedly. It is Senator Clinton's strength and determination that allows Americans to get to know Barack Obama,a little more. Time is everything and the most valuable!

    Give Hillary a chance, she deserves it just as much as Obama. They both deserve the next 8-16 years. (Historically)!

    I totally agree with Taylor. We've known Hillary since she's in the public eye for many years and there will be no surprised. Hillary is intelligent, strong and she is a fighter and will fight for us. Hillary is the one with solutions and can help fix our economy, our country. Even Elizabeth Edwards has recently endorsed Hillary's Universal Healthcare Plan. Voters in Indiana and North Carolina, vote for Hillary!

    Either she's misusing the word flibbertigibbet or she's endorsing the wrong candidate. For all the seniors out there that find Elizabeth Taylor still relevant, a flibbertigibbet is basically a chatty gossip. The only candidate spreading gossip in this election is Hillary Clinton (a.k.a Tracy Flick).

    Sorry Lizzie, I adore you but like so many of our octogenarians, your totally wrong on this one. Time to listen to our young better educated voters. Sense of humor is nice but the WH needs integrity, character, honor and we can't get any of these with your candidate. This is a fact, don't make me list all of her lies here and now theres the Peter Paul scandal being placed on hold until AFTER the nomination? I don't know...she can't be trusted. Think again Lizzie and join the majority who want real change in Washington. We want and support Barack Obama for 8/12 and we've got room for ya!

    Well if Liz Taylor says so I'm changing my vote from Senator Obama to Senator Clinton. Why does CNN think anyone cares about what Ms. Taylor has to say about this election. Great she has an opinion, but since she's not a super and her state has already gone too bad so sad she doens't matter.

    In 2001 President Clinton awarded Elizabeth Taylor with the Presidential Citizen's medal, but I'm sure that had nothing to do with Liz's support of Hillary. Nah...

    I take it that Miss Liz never heard about Hillary's Clinton's rage about the white southern voters who became Reagan Democrats. When the Clintons were upset about the their congressional lost when Bill was president, the then first lady took a less than inclusive approach about the southern voters. She said; "Screw 'em," Bill, you don't owe them a thing. "They're doing nothing for you and you don't have to do anything for them!" See a book by Benjamin Barber called "Truth of Power:" Intelligence Affairs in The Clinton White House.

    "I have contributed to Sen. Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign because she has a mind of her own and a very strong one at that,"

    And Hillary's supporter has a mind of their own as well.

    I read somewhere some people complaining that Hillary never would be here today if she wasn't married to the president. That is so very wrong people. People are in their place not because of one single decision they've made but the series of decisions they've made throughout their entire life.

    Hillary is here becasue of her own decison.

    Go, Hillary!

    Oh come on CNN. Is this a newsworthy endorsement? The woman is just a campaign contributor. So what. Is she a super delegate?
    This is the same Elizabeth Taylor that was married to Republican Senator John Warner. I have thought for awhile now that Hillary is acting more and more like a Republican in her campaign tactics. I forget she was ever a Democrat. This reinforces my sense of Clinton as Republican. Why doesn't she just change parties. Then her continuous Obama bashing would make sense.

    Spaeaking from a more removed perspective from up here in Vancouver, Canada, I am stunned that voters aren't fully backing Barrack Obama....One has rarely seen a politician with more integrity, honesty and genune concern for the average person....I can't believe that he may not make it to the White House....WAKE UP AMERICA and don't let this opportunity slip through your hands!
