tell Clinton she needed to add more Zeros to that check

about time cnn reported and endorsement for Sen Obama. you all are slipping. tighten up!

Who cares, He just an elitist…..

That's nice, what about his two superdelegates picked up today.

Thank You NARAL! He is the best candidate!

Good choice NARAL… just because Hillary is a woman don't mean she will do much, if even anything, for women..

Cue the Hillary head explosion!

AMERICA WANT CHANGE.

THE TIME HAS COME FOR A CHANGE.

GO OBAMA GO!!!!

I'm a little confused. Why are they so angry? Doesn't Obama share the same views on this topic as Clinton? Are they upset becuase they are backing a male???

Maybe I'm not quite understanding the issue here…Someone please explain. Thank you!

whether it been 3 weeks, or 3 days, or 3 hours, obama still would of received the endorsement whether people want him to or not. he is the presumptive nominee and next week will show just that. lets get ready for november already!!

Way to go! Now let's see all the Obama bashers rise from their coffins and make it seem like this man don't deserve to win! Obama is a smart man and he cought Hillary sleeping because she just knew she had this nomination all wrapped up….LOL.

Just more of that sense of entitlement from the Clintons. Everyone OWES them. "Your either with us, or your against us" - Hillary Clinton. And of course, anyone who is not with them is a Judas.

This is a HUGE endorsement considering McCain is against a woman's right to choose!!!

One more reason to jump ship and vote for McCain. This was one of my former sacrifices to vote democrat. I won't need to compromise my stand on pro-choice any longer.

John McCain in 08

DEMOCRATS……………it's time to unite.

Stop the infighting!

Unite against our REAL adversary. No Bush third term!

Obama/Clark in 2008!

Have you seen the "Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton Madtv" on the youtube? Obama wins the prise that Hillary thinks he cannot.

I agree with Emily's List…an endorsement for Nobama..tsk, tsk. I didn't know they were souless as well as brainless. Another Judas like Richardson…

Checkmate! Again!

Welcome to the "O" Team!

We are happy to have you!

Go Obama!

Welcome on board.

That is reason enough not to vote for her. Abortion is murder. The time to choose is before you get pregnant. I would never vote for any candidate that suports Roe vs Wade. McCain gets my vote.

Just because a group is pro choice does not mean Hillary has a claim to them . Like the group is pro-choice they Chose and it happened to be OBAMA.
NOT EVERY woman has to agree with Hillary or even disagree with her, we just have the right to choose what we feel is best,and some of us happens to choose other than Hillary Clinton.
Contrary to belief Hillary doesn't have the monopoly on all women's issues.

First of all, why is EMILY'S List getting in a huff? It's not like NARAL are superdelegates - they're just an organization who happens to support Obama? And btw, it's obvious by their tone that they support Hillary Clinton - but no one is (or should be) slamming them for that. I'm pretty sure that the NAACP is behind Barack Obama - again…it's only an organization. Influential, yes…but does not count a vote.

If anything….EMILY'S List AND NARAL should BOTH be coming out AGAINST Sen. John McCain since he supports legislation that would make abortions illegal unless the mother's life is in danger or rape. Now you wanna talk about taking back women's rights?

That's a just a head's up for anybody thinking about switching from Democrat to Republican.

"Sen. Obama has been a strong advocate for a woman's right to choose throughout his career in public office," NARAL President Nancy Keenan

Where's that blogger from yesatrday who said that Obama hdd been mocking women? I gues NARAL sees it a little different and I'm inclined to listen to them and not a blogger hiding behind a keyboard.

Obama '08

NObama

Hillary we love you and support you all the way!!!
We need a Clinton to restore our broken economy

FLA and Michigan must count, they are Americans

Obama can be your VP until he learns how to do the job. He might eventually be ready in the future.

Hillary 08 - Yes you will!!!
Puerto Rico, Florida, Michigan, West Virginia, Kentucky for Clinton!!!
Vote Democrat- Vote for Clinton

Where does Ellen Malcolm get off deciding who is ok to support? If NARAL wants to back Obama instead of Clinton that's perfectly valid and not the least bit disrespectful of Clinton. It's simply their choice. I think Malcolm may be a Hillary supporter who's having a hard time coming to grips with her candidate's failed campaign. That's democracy, honey. Get over it!

Thank you. We appreciate the endorsements.

No where did NARAL tell Clinton (Hill, Bill or Chill) to not finish the three weeks. Where did you get an idea like that? All they did was endorse the candidate they wanted - just like you did and like everyone else in America has the right to do. There is no disrespect. It's called freedom of choice. Your comment does not make any sense. All your statement does is make you sound bitter and full of sour grapes.

WHO CARES WHAT EMILY'S LIST THINKS?? I AM A PROUD MEMBER OF NARAL, AND I AM GLAD THEY FINALLY SAW THE LIGHT IN ENDORSING SENATOR OBAMA.. QUIT WHINING EMILY AND ALL YOU PRO CHOICE HILLARY SUPPORTERS, SOUNDS LIKE SOUR GRAPES TO ME !! GET OVER IT! OBAMA SUPPORTER 08

Are you kidding,she can endorse who she wants,why is it everybody has to ole Hillary.She think she is the godfather.

Bo doesn't want any girl or woman punished with a baby. Even if it's a full term baby.

More infighting with the Clinton camp? Obama's supporters don't do that.
But whatever. let HRC play this out and three weeks later it will all be over. no fighting. no pulling. no dissing. no racially charged remarks. It will just be over.

Plenty of endorsements have been given for the primary season - what the heck is this "EMILY'S List' idiot talking about? This wasn't about general election.

OkAAAY?

And the chips keep falling this is a group that supported Clinton.

Go Obama!!!!

Contrary to what the press may be trying to peddle, not all women support Hillary, not all African-Americans support Barack, and not all men support McCain. This is a country of independent thinkers that can all think for themselves.

For EMILY'S List to come out like they did against NARAL because they chose to support Barack is extremely small-minded.

It makes me feel rteally good when an organization that I support takes such a crucial step and makes such an important statement. I am also a member of Move On. As we know, they too have done the right thing.

GO OBAMA. You will get more endorsements.

Are they irrelevant too, Hillary?

Great endorsement!!!

Obama 08/12

Well get over it!!! I don't think is disrespectful at all, everybody has the right to change their mind… GOOD FOR OBAMA

oBAMA 2008!!! YES WE CAN AND WE WILL!!!

I sure wish I had one of those Georgia Tee-Shirts.

Yes ASAP it's time for change jack.

Congratulations, Senator Obama. You have run a truly inspiring and first rate campaign.

there you go!! keep em coming!!!

God said in the Bible that He will punish those "who call evil, good". That is what "a woman's right to choose" is, evil in the form of killing babies.

Both candidates are pro-choice. Pick one!

emily you are so right this how this election has been going all of hillary supporters disrespecting her SHAME ON YOU ALL. why would you support someone then when they really need you, you jump ship, this is why the dem. party stinks i cannot be aparty to this anymore after this election im going to be an independent. you dem. need to have your heads checked i think you,ve lost all your marbels.

So many people have been disrespectful to Senator Clinton that it's hard to keep track any more. I'm afraid our wounded country is missing a rare window of opportunity to elect a woman who would probably be the most capable president in our history.

Let's protect the right to murder unborn children. Always smacked me in the face how it is a woman's choice to murder her children since it is her body. Guess as long as it doesn't make it out the womb it is OK. Glowing endorsement, OBAMA.

Obama/Hamas 08

Who cares about abortion rights? Why don't all you educated Obama followers learn how to use birth control?

JUST WAIT AND SEE……..

THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY WILL HAVE A RUDE AWAKENING IN NOVEMBER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I guess you could say NARAL aborted Hillary prematurely!

LOL! They probably endorsed Obama because he's as pro-choice as and Hillary and they know he's going to win the nomination. No rocket science here.

Maybe the American people are finally just sick of mean and ugly
politics. This has been the style of the Republican party for many, many years. Wouldn't it be nice to be nice!

As an Obama supporter this is one issue I do not agree with him on. I think there are some better ways than aborting kids. Like education and spirtual values. However, I am with Obama on all the other issues.

Why some people think like Hillary is a Queen, that she is supposed to have her way. People and Organization endorse who they think can do the job for the entire country. This is a FREE Country. America is not a Kingdom ruled by the Clintons. Any move or endorsment does not need explanation to the Clintons, that's to say They do not own anybody. The Democratic Party does not belong to them. They are part of the party like anybody else, despite the signicant role they have played. Don't forget that , we have stood by them during the impeachement…. Hillary supporters , stop beeing sensitive and think that anybody is turning their back to Hillary when they endorse Obama. It's a choice they make, same as you are choosing Hillary

Welcome aboard!!!

Yes We Can and NO Hillary Can't.

Hey EMILY’s List,

I don't know if you've noticed but Hillray's morphed into a Republican over the past couple of months. She's more interested in gun rights than Pro-choice. Hard working blur-collar, rural Americans don't like Pro-choice and she's their canditdate now.

WOW HRC loses a Pro-Choice women's vote. Really the writing is on the wall for Hillary.

Both Senator Clinton and Senator Obama have the same stance on abortion rights, and both have worked diligently to support and defend Roe v. Wade…so, why is it disrespectful for NARAL to endorse anyone? They have a right to choose just like everyone else.

It's pretty disheartening that the Clinton supporters feel that anyone who doesn't support or endorse her are disrespectful, or judases, or whatever have you. And you talk about Obama supporters, how hypocritical! Get over it! Your vote counts, so should theirs.

Democrat '08

who cares- just makes red states more determine to beat him in the fall go Obama

Okay, what is up with this Emily people, this is the second time they have made remarks to point to the fact the women must vote for other women!!!

People complain when black people (who last time i checked had the right for who they want) vote for Obama, but women and pro-choice orgs MUST vote for Clinton?

Im all for supporting someone, and doing it publically, but do NOT attack someone else for supproting someone else, that is why this country is FREE, IT MEANS YOU CAN SUPPORT WHOEVER YOU WANT!!!!

anyways—-> DEMOCRATS UNITE!!!!

Operation Chaos is still going full steam.

Don't get played by the neo-cons - Don't let them divide the party - Don't let them steal the election in November.

Vote Democrat '08 - Either way.

I am totally against the Clinton's getting back into the White House, but Hillary is very smart. I am hearing that something is comming and it ain't pretty.

Now that they know who the nominee IS, alot more of HRC's supporters will start to endorse Obama.

WOW…
Feminists even going to Obama. Is Hill's campaign over? Has anyone bothered to tell her?

I love it. Old politics. They make a decision based on what they believe is right, and they are derided because they were supposed to return some favor.

Of course Obama should have received endorsement by NARAL….he believes in infanticide. He out does Clinton on that.

How about if they endorse Clinton and see if the statement is written about Obama? What's your guest of the same statement people?

Not sure where my comment went but here it is again:

I'm a little confused. Why is the other party so angry that this group is endorsing Obama? Don't they share the same views as one another and the same views as Obama and Clinton???

Are they angry because they are endorsing a male instead of a female??

Someone please help me understand this one. Thank you!

How about HRC showing some respect for the party, values, the PEOPLE?

She has absolutely no chance at the nomination.

Many HRC supporters say they will not support Obama in the GE - She needs to come to grips with the devisiveness she has caused and work to heal that rift with NO STRINGS ATTACHED if she expects to ever be supported in a future endeavor.

Maybe NARAL endorsed Obama because the group remembers what happened when Bill got elected–the Republicans swept into power just a few years later, threatening women's rights on a whole host of issues.

Maybe NARAL decided it was better to "disrespect" Hillary than to threaten the welfare of all women.

Wah, wah, wah Emily's List!

Clitnon voted FOR the war in Iraq!

it is never disrespectful to endorse a candidate you believe in.it's a choice,that everyone has.emily's list sounds like sore losers.

If Hillary was the front runner I'm sure NARAL would have endorsed her. Politically, they did the right thing, the power is with the future President Barack Obama.

NARAL just lost my support. What a horrible endorsement and with such horrible timing!!

I will certainly be sending my NARAL dollars to EMILY's List.

McGovern=Mondale=Dukakis=Gore=Kerry=Obama

There is no way he will win. Hillary is the ONLY one who can beat McCain and bring her years of experience working for women's reproductive rights to the White House.

Obama has had anti-choice and anti-gay people working with him throughout his campaign. He is not to be trusted!

I could not agree with EMILY's list more. Well said Ms. Malcom.

Wow, a scathing attack on someone that supports another. When will it end. Dont take this wrong this is a great endorsement; however, I am curious why this is reported and no mention is given to the superdelegates won today that really count towards the end result.

Do you get the feeling mr. No Politics As Usual, had given NARAL the message, endorse me now or feel my wrath as President?

oh well

good i duess

Welcome to the new world.

FINALLY CNN! What about 2 superdelegates to Obama??? Come on you guys are losing credibilty against others as Yahoo, Abc, etc

Can we agree that we want the best candidate - gender neutral? Hillary has tons of baggage that her supporters want to ignore….(lets list them for fun….but your denial is strong….):

Support for illegals to get drivers licenses in NY State
Healthcare plan that supports the "12 million" illegals
"Experience" that doesn't have her in even one cabinet meeting during the Clinton years
Support for NAFTA - then non-support for NAFTA
funny million dollar add to the SCHIP bill for a Woodstock museum
During Clinton Admin - sold ballistic missile technology to China
During Clinton Admin - rented Lincoln bedroom to contributors
Voted for Iraq war - after stating she didn't read intelligence reports

and on and on and on…..yes…a woman would be nice - not this one….never this one - I hope Obama picks the gov of Kansas….she's qualified…(not in a "go girl" way….in a she earned her stripes with actual experience and excellent policies)

Its so over for HIllary.

West Virginia was meaningless.

Wouldn't it be sad that the democrats loose in '08 due to Hillary supporters, or another way to say it, because of Hillary Clinton…WOULDN'T IT BE SAD TO SAY ROE V WADE WAS OVERTURNED DUE TO HILLARY SUPPORTERS AND BECAUSE OF HILLARY.

Get over it EMILY….they are endorsing the person whom they feel supports their cause…not based on gender…choosing to endorse someone based on gender is your way…not neccesarily the right way….

Welcome aboard NARAL!!!!

Yeah, see now that's what I'm talking about. More support for Obama. Let's start now focusing on McCain. The nomination is pretty much a given now if everything goes fair.

This is disappointing. Wish the backstabbing would end. Why the announcement of this decision right now? Honestly, what point are NARAL execs trying to make? I'm a Hillary supporter who will vote for Barack. But in the future, I won't support NARAL. If the idiots who run that organization fail to see that the nasty sexism factoring into this campaign affects all women, then they obvisouly see the world differently than I do. So . . . they won't get my time or my contribution. I've volunteered for NARAL in the past. From now on, I'll give my support to other pro-choice organizations.

To all you bloggers….
Most of the negative comments come from republicans who are trying thier best to disrupt the process. They want you to think the other candidates backers are doing this. Stop , think and give yourself a minute to see the patern here.
Vote the way you feel and be yourself

It's not disrespectful. They endorsed Hillary in the primary, they are now endorsing Obama for the general. The general election has been going on for a month or two now, everything has unfolded the way pretty much everyone expected since before Pennsylvania.

It's time we stop putting the democratic nominee in danger by fighting among democrats and republicans against him. We need to move ahead and do what is right.

It's not disrespectful when as polarizing as this campaign has become where we need to be worried that McCain could win because we're too busy fighting amongst ourselves.

The only ones disrespectful to Hillary are the ones who say they will vote for McCain in November instead of Obama. They will vote for conservative judges and put both Emily's List and NARAL in danger because of hurt pride.

Democrats, the writing is on the wall. It's time to come together!

Ellen Malcolm needs to take a chill. I didn't see any pressure to have Clinton drop out of the primary, and Ellen's attempt to spin it as such is really sad. I think NARAL has the "choice" to endorse whoever they want. Or does choice mean "as long as you agree with us"?

EMILY's List is full of crap to stand there and downgrade NARAL's endorsement of Senator Obama simply because Hillary is down to the last three weeks of a very divisive campaign. In fact, EMILY's List only furthers the divisiveness among Democrats and THAT is even more disrespectful to supporters of both Obama and Clinton - it even borders sexism.

He's a "strong advocate of women's rights", yet he encourages his supporters to engage in sexist and remarkably inappropriate behavior against Sen. Clinton???? And he, himself, makes comments and engages in behavior that is sexist as well. Sorry, but I don't buy it. The NARAL is being paid to endorse Obama. There's no other reason for it.

And I'm from Chicago so I'm well aware of is stance on women's issues……and it's no where near being a "strong advocate". Obama doesn't take a strong stand on anything…..he chooses to avoid voting on issues that require taking a strong stand.

So let me guess… All of you Clinton supporters are going to vote for John McCain who is going to overturn Roe v. Wade.
Or better yet, your NOT going to vote at all, and basically give the election to John McCain who will then, overturn Roe v. Wade.

Ahhh boy. Nothing surprises me anymore.

Wow, this is a big endorsement! If the party is going to be united before November,the message is,to women voters who are supporting Hillary ,that this contest is over and we need to solidify our base. Women for Hillary come aboard!!!!

for change,what change?obama has not mentioned what he is going to change matter of fact if everything that has came out about obamas past lately would have came out at the beginning he would not even be close to clinton.
it is a sad day in this country when people vote for a person that has friends like mr obama.
i really think if obama is chosen to run against mccain then the democrat party has given the republican party 4 more years
i,m a true democrat but will vote republican before i vote for obama.

NARAL, what does Obama know about a woman's right to choose???
I agree with the president of EMILY's LIST. This is a country that lip service reigns. It is so sad.

Yes they should support him because afterall he is a civil rights attorney. Obama represents this and that is why iHE is the best candidate. Bush has taken away our individual rights with wire tapping and unecessary wars. We need a president that can respect the constitution. THat is America. God Bless AMerica!!

*what happened to my comment?

Barack Obama has proven many times over that he supports the rights of All Americans, not just the "blue-collar, hardworking, white Americans"

It's about time that you report something,what about the superdelegates ,Oh Jack Cafferty reported these ,thanks Jack.

You go Obama! Almost there! Wake up people! America is finally coming around!

Go OBama! Yes!

It just demonstrates the low quality of these endorsers who are actually following the crowd. You doubt if they ever think of issues. What makes Obama more appropriate for this endorsement than Clinton? Shame on you NARAL.

Way to bite the hand that fed you. What are you thinking? HRC has actually demonstrated her support , Obama talks about it., but that's right, he talks a good game about everything.

Hillary will not give up till the convention and I can't blame her. Super delegates don't official vote until August and by then all will be over for Obama. We haven't heard of this in the national media, but quite a few know about Barrack and it seems that it’s just mostly republicans that I speak with. This is what you will find out when the news media finally breaks the rest of the story. It is funny that the investigation got wrapped up in September 2005. Rezko was indicted in January of 2006.

Obama voted for the Bush Energy Bill in 2005, Hillary didn't. Obama reach out across the isle. This Energy Bill of Bush's included a nuclear power plant in Iraq. Companion Security corporation received the contract for this project and is owned by Nadhmi Auchi. Nadhmi Auchi has known Saddam since 1959 and was a political fixer in the Bath Party in Iraq. When the country fell apart he ran of with billions of Iraqi money. He is wanted in France on corruption charges and is hiding out in London. Companion Security is a subsidiary of the Rezmar Corporation.

In the Rezko trial on April 14, 2008, evidence was introduced in court that Barrack Obama attended a private party at Rezko's mansion In April of 2004. This wasn't a fund raiser but a party in honor of Auchi. There are a lot of questions the authorities can't answer on how Nadhmi got into this country in the first place, since he is wanted in France, but who helped him get in.

We have heard a little about the house deal that happened on June 15, 2005 between Michelle Obama and Judy Rezko, but Barrack called that mudslinging. We haven't heard much about how Tony Rezko received 3.2 million dollars the end of May 2005 from another subsidiary company in Panama. This Finn Trade Inc. that is majority owned by Auchi ironically wired 3.2 million dollars to Rezko just 3 weeks before the house deal closed. What will Obama call this news when it breaks?

Though I'm a Obama supporter, I am extremely proud of Sen. Clinton's stands on a woman's right to choose. From my understanding, she is a staunch defender of her pro choice position. This is an area that I'll always be thankful to her on. She is very dedicated to causes she believes in. The public has benefitted tremendously from her efforts.

abortion is murder. enough said

The majority of Clinton supporters will support Obama in November…

Some will not, but I think most realize the stakes, and put that above sour grapes and petty jealousy.

However, most of the folks who keep repeating they won't support Obama on this blog will probably stick to their word. They can congratulate themselves if Obama loses, and smirk for a bit. They can also pat themselves on the back when the US troop casualty count comes in each month, and feel proud they help perpetuate that. They can smile to themselves as the dollar continues to weaken and friends and family can't find blue collar jobs in America, and know they had a hand in that too. As more conservative judges are appointed to the supreme court, they can laugh to themselves and say "yeah, but we sure taught the DNC a leason, didn't we?"

So be proud Obama haters, you are the true Americans aren't you?

Good choice. Obama is a sincere one.

Hmmm, where does Hillary stand on this issue? I guess her efforts in the past don't matter to Nancy. This type of endorsement makes me really scared of Obama and the power he seems to have, very scary indeed.

Though I'm a Obama supporter, I am extremely proud of Sen. Clinton's stands on a woman's right to choose. From my understanding, she is a staunch defender of her pro choice position. This is an area that I'll always be thankful to her on. She is very dedicated to causes she believes in. The public has benefitted tremendously from her efforts.

Obama '08

I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY SO MANY PEOPLE ARE BEHIND OBAMA ? IT SEEMS TO ME , IT'S LIKE GOING FROM FIRST GRADE TO A SENIOR OVER NIGHT ! I BELIEVE HILLARY IS THE CLEAR CANIDATE FOR THE WHITEHOUSE..

JOHN BUHRIE
ST. CLAIR SHORES MI.

This statement from Emily's List is EXACTLY why I stopped my Sustaining membership. It is BLIND allegience to someone who is supposed to be a feminist but is actually not. Most of her arguments for her candidacy are based on her position as a WIFE, not on her OWN accomplishments. And why has no one asked her, when she sanctimoniously said that she wouldn't have stayed in Rev. Wright's church, why she stayed in a marriage which was much more damaging! Does she enjoy being a victim because she get's votes that way? Is this really feminism?? And do we like the fake tears to get votes?

Sen. Obama shows in his marriage to a strong woman as a real co-equal that he would be much more effective for women's rights! Good for NARAL for being true to the essence of what we want!

Why should they pledge loyalty to Clinton over just one issue, if they agree with Obama on that issue and more. This is how idiots end up in power…..blind loyalty and voting straight party tickets.

Question?
WHEN DID THE CLINTONS RAISE TO THE LEVEL OF THE A GOD LIKE BEINGS -TO BE WORSHIP. I DON'T THINK THE POPE IS GETTING THIS MUCH RESPECT DUE!
Someone need to check themselve.

CNN IS SCOPED AGAIN. ACCORDING TO HUFF OBAMA GOT A UNION, 3 SCE CHAIRMEN ENDORSMENTS, AND 2 OR 3 SUPER DELEGETS SINCE WV

I don't understand, Obama has said it would be a punishment if his daughter gets pregnant.

Considering his reversal at the faith forum on CNN, I wonder what they were thinking? Obama not pro-choice anymore according to his own statements.

I see no disrespect to Mrs Clinton in NARAL's endorsement of OBAMA

can i post here?

Go Obama, we need a place for our meetings, you can help us, yes you can.

THE MATH OF HONOR…..is………….50…..yes you can !!!!!!!!!!!!!

come one …come all…Obama 08

As a Male voter, I am amazed that women do not not support Hillary. They always cry for respect and being equal to men , but they will not support a woman President. Makes me gasp for air.

Okay, CNN. I thought you could locate this information if you tried.

Thanks…Helen

how on earth is this disrepsectful to hillary?
because they didn't "return the favor".
an endorsement, like a vote, is to be given for who you think will make the best president. not becaue you feel you owe someone.

He is the one

For anyone that is wise enough to see what the Lord is doing; join us because THIS, you will not regret

florida and Michigan add up to…………..50….democrats yes you can.

There goes the Bob Casey-as-VP idea.

I think its disrespectful how some women seem to support Clinton just because she is a woman, same for Obama and African Americans. If you want equality, it has to be both ways.

That said…. all women that say they will vote for McCain if Obama wins, LISTEN TO THIS.

If McCain wins, hello conservative agenda and judges to appease the right. If Obama wins, it may not be the queen you wanted, but at least he will support the causes you believe in.

Still with this you won't get the women voters!

McCain if not Clinton

Get over yourself Ellen Malcolm! I am amazed how vicious and defensive these so called progressive white women are when it comes to Obama. We've watched Gloria Steinhem, Geraldine Ferraro and others completely lose their minds over other women supporting Obama. My question is were we ever really friends? It appears that this so called coalition for social justice only works if blacks are marching lock step with whites, not the other way around.
Go Obama!!!

Hillary is lame

Barack is a true gentlemen, that's why I voted for him. Barack doesn't look at color and he also puts himself in a woman shoes to chose to do whatever she wants. Go Barack, you're the greatest.

NARAL endorses Obama,

hahahahahahahahahaha

take that crazy lady

Let the Joyous News be Spread, the Wicked Old Republicans at Last Are Dead!

Time to run the bastar*'s out of town on a rail. The Dictaroship is coming to an end. Dems picking up Congressional seats, Bush/Cheney Dictatorship toppling, the air is clearing!

Ding! Dong! The Republicans are dead!

WOW!

More and more people are saying, "Hillary please leave the stage soon!"

Obama in 08!

Another excellent endorsement! I guess announcing Obama's daily SD's is getting boring to CNN so thanks for moving on to bigger endorsements.

Obama '08
YES WE CAN!

Malcolm is way off base. As Hillary Clinton herself has said, everyone should have an opportunity to support the candidate of his/her choice, Isn't this last three weeks of her campaign being waged as an opportunity for EVERYONE to voice an opinion? After all, Hillary has taken the "rights of the voter" as her own personal mantra and we have een hearing it ad nauseum on the news.

In accordance with that stance, NARAL has made the decision to support Obama. There's no disrespect, just a decision about who is the best candidate.

go Obama

I think it is tremendously disrespectful to Nancy Keenan and NARAL that Ellen Malcolm would even make comment. This is the same ol' politics. It's right up there with James Carville calling Bill Richardson a Judas.

OH MY LORD, STOP WITH THE "WOMEN OWE CLINTON THEIR SUPPORT."

WE ARE NOT STEPFORD WIVES AND WE CAN CHOOSE WHOMEVER WE PLEASE.

YOU ARE TURNING OFF MEN AND WOMEN WITH THAT ATTITUDE. I DIDN'T HEAR ANYTHING FROM YOU WHEN RANGEL AND JOHNSON AND THE MAYOR OF PHILADELPHIA ENDORSED AND WORK FOR CLINTON IN THEIR PRIMARIES ALTHOUGH ALL THREE OF THEM ARE BLACK. OH, THAT'S RIGHT, THEY WERE JUST "DOING THE RIGHT THING" ACCORDING TO YOUR POINT OF VIEW.

FOR PETE'S SAKE, STOP FIGHTING AND LET'S GET ABOUT TRYING TO PUT A DEMOCRAT IN THE WHITE HOUSE AND KEEPING CONTROL OF CONGRESS.

I SUPPORTED CLINTON AT FIRST BUT SHE AND SOME OF HER OTHER SUPPORTERS ARE GETTING ON MY NERVES. AND TO THINK, YOU ARE THREATENING TO VOTE FOR McCAIN, WHO OPPOSES ROE V. WADE AND WANTS TO DO AWAY WITH IT.

JUST KEEP ON WITH YOUR NEGATIVE ATTITUDES AND YOU WILL CONVINCE OTHERS TO ACTUALLY VOTE FOR JOHN McCAIN.

THE PRESIDENCY IS NOT AN ENTITLEMENT, PLEASE. DO YOU WANT THE REPUBLICANS TO TAKE US BACK OR WHAT?

Welcome to the winning team, Team Obama! A vote for Obama will protect yo Mama!! Ha ha. My insidious attempt at humor.

All jokes aside, the fat lady is in tune, she's just waiting for her cue to sing!!

GO OBAMA '08!!

Shut up " EMILY’s List", It's time to move forward and get ready for November. We have given enough time to Clintons. If you give more they will lose more money. It's in their interest to stop now and let us move forward.

How's that disrespectful to Sen. Clinton? Is it because she is a woman?

Had she been in a position to fight in November, I'm pretty sure they would have offered their endorsement to Sen. Clinton. The criticism is down right stupid.

This is a great endorsement for the Obama Camp. The pres of Emilys list needs to get over it and jump on the Obama wagon.

"Obama 08 enough said"

Thank You NARAL!
I really hope that the women who say they will not support Obama if Clinton is not the nominee will consider the possible consequences of giving the Republicans another chance to overturn Roe vs. Wade.

Emily's List endorsed Clinton in JANUARY, before almost everyone had a chance to vote. Was that disrespectful to senator Obama? No!

Why is it ok for folks to endorse Clinton before this thing is done, but endorsing Obama is ALWAYS disrespectful to Clinton or an outright betrayal? It's like the default position is for Clinton to win this thing, and anything else is just presumptious, arrogant, cheap, and insulting to her sacred name.

Oh, sorry, Mrs. Clinton, deeply sorry for presuming to campaign against you. Doubly sorry for winning and maintaining a lead over you. Next time around, we'll make sure and wait for your say-so before attempting to rise above our place in the world. We'll try not to let it happen again…

Keep realing them in Mr future President.

Obama/Edwards 08
Obama/Sebelius 08
Obama/Richardson 08

heck im down for Obama/Powell 08 wouldn't thT be awsome

I get the feeling that this endorsement is going to convince older white women (Hillary's largest constituency) to vote for Obama if he defeats Hillary for the nomination….

I think Obama is done if he doesn't get the support of older white women (the Democrats' largest voting bloc)

I'm deeply disturbed and saddened by NARAL's blatant disrespect for Hillary Clinton, one of their biggest supporters, so they can jump on the Obama bandwagon. I agree with Ellen Malcon's statement about NARAL. Shame on NARAL for lacking the heart and courage to respect one their biggest champions. Good luck with your decision NARAL. I have a sad feeling that you'll regret this.

To Hillary Supporters who won't vote for Obama if he is the Nominee:

You have the choice to vote for OBama or vote for the 3rd term of BUSH; War for 100 years; Worse economy; Jobs loss; High groceries and gas prices… Just choose what you want…

I don't care about the Old , non-educated people voting for Hillary… I am old, but I care about the future for my children , grand children.. We need Change… No more BUSH-CLINTON…; Why you old -white , keep voting for the same people? Do you want the same politicover and over again?

I don't it's disrespectful especially since it's her choice and opinion. Isn't that what this country is about?

So, three weeks from now, Emily's List would be endorsing Obama? Hmmm.

NARAL is not being disrespectful of Senator Clinton. They know the next three weeks are not going to make a difference in her being nominated but could make a difference in our efforts to stop McCain.

Like everyone else they are tired of waiting to go after the Republicans. Their loyalty is to what is best for all women, not to what is best for one candidate. I admire their choice to move forward and appreciate them fighting for me.

Nice

Thank god some woman in this country can actually see through Hillary. Thank you.

"The president of EMILY’s List, a group that supports pro-choice Democratic women candidates, called NARAL's endorsement "tremendously disrespectful" to Clinton."

See this is the continued problem.. Clinton surrogates ALWAYS.. and I mean ALWAYS.. dismissing anything that is positive for Barack Obama.
Hillary Clinton and her camp are so negative… We NEED to change the course.. and the time is now..

I am glad people recognize the future of positive leadership..

I voted for Barack in early primary voting and I will vote him on down the line..

Yes…We…Can..

Shameful. Emily's List will be getting my contributions from now on.

I don't understand why the president of Emily's list thinks this is "disrespectful". NARAL are doing exactly what Al Gore is doing, looking after their future interests. They want to get behind who they think the next president of the US is going to be. This is cold logic that I think Hilary appreciates and fully understands. "Al Gore", yes Al Gore is doing the same thing. He has not endorsed anyone because he wants a job in the White house dealing with environmental issues and doesn't want to back the wrong horse. This is not entirely selfish, he may believe he can change things and doesn't particularly care which one is the president to do that, however this is still insincere considering the times.

…but wait what about Jeremiah Wright?

Oh yes, we're over it now, you know except the white people who are scared of the darky

boo, he's coming to get you, boo

scared yet?

your house just got forclosed, you lost your job, cant even declare bankruptcy any more, your kid just got sick (oh yeah you lost your health insurance with your job), but don't worry about it you cant go anywhere becasue the price of gas is 5 dollars a gallon, am I missing anything?

BUT JEREMIAH WRIGHT SCARES YOU, YOU DUMB DUMB DUMB DUMB DUMB DUMB MAN

I am certain that NARAL Pro-Choice America endorsement was a statement of strong support and confidence in Barack Obama.

This organization's objective was to do its part to heal the media fueled divide between supporters of Hillary, particularly older white female voters, and those voters across the country supporting Obama.

I don't believe that this endorsement was a snub at Sen. Clinton at all.

Sincerely,
OBAMA '08/12

As always Clinton supporters have to rebuke anyone they expected to go their way who does otherwise. There has been a consistent pattern with Clinton's leadership and the most telling story of it all is that as president, together with her loyalist bloc, she would only chastise dissenters. Now, how different would that make a second Clinton administration different from George Bush's?

Keep them coming, because a lot of posters who are talking about jumping ship to Mccain, don't realize one of Mccain judges are against women rights.

Go Obama '08

There is nothing disrespectful about this endosement they do not owe anything to the Clintons, they are doing what is good for the Country which if what matters the most.

Let's not have Democrats again forming a circular firing squad.

Why does Emily's List choose to criticize NARAL?

NARAL can make a choice among Democrats (though the participated in an attack on Obama in NH - not cool!). Sounds like they think it is time for us to unite and focus on the more important campaign. That's reasonable.

UM… there is a Republican nominee if Emily's List wants to fire a shot today. What is his position on choice?

It is tremendously disrespectful to Obama and the American people to continue to raise questions of race and electability. Sen. Clinton can not face the fact that she misjudged her opponent and did not fully understand the American peoples needs. Guess it was from her spending all that time in the White House and not in communities around the country. Obama ran a better campaign without using fear tactics (her being a women). Face it… On a even playing field we can't be stopped….

OBAMA 08

Thank you!!!!!

Yes, another edorsement. I am definitely for the woman's right to choose. The right for a woman to choose which color condom, which brand of spermicide, which type of birth control pills. We have to start making better choices. For those instances where the decision is made because of birth defects, or some other reason, well, that's one more thing you will have to answer for when asked, "Why did you destroy the gift I gave to you" your reply "the doctor told me it was defective". Yes you can have the choice but make the right decisions from the start!

Sorry you changed to Obama

"Tremendously disrespectful"??? Talk about bias! That is the most blatant example of gender bias I've seen yet!

If Senator Clinton hadn't taken her campaign to a whole new level of intra-party attacks, she might even be actually in the running to become the next President. She has been badly, badly served, especially by people of her own gender who have COMPLETELY missed the point in their rush to support a female candidate: It's not so much who campaigns as HOW they campaign!

Many of us were ready to support her - and I for one would still vote for her should she get the nomination - but she has gone WAY over the line in her attacks on Senator Obama. As a result, she has seriously damaged the women's rights movement itself.

She has a lot of work to do to repair that damage. But first she, and all the other women who are in denial, need to accept the reality of their error.

I may be a white male, and so probably will be discounted, but I can still tell a hawk from a handsaw….

Barack Obama believes in America and it's Constitution as he studied and taught it and will uphold it in every instance as he seats our Supreme Court seats. Timing is of the essence. This is no longer about Hillary Clinton. Our threat is John McCain who is suggesting to seat the Supreme Court with justices who will threaten to argue R v W. There are bigger issues than Hillary Clinton feelings. He face trying and threatening times times on every level of our government. When it comes to the Constitution, Obama clearly has a very well laid out plan.

Senator Obama had Eight endorsements today but CNN refused to disclose it to the public. Senator Obama's delegate Countdown - 135.5 To Go

Three former chairmen of the Securities and Exchange Commission endorsed Democratic Sen. Barack Obama for the presidency. William Donaldson, who was SEC chairman for about 2½ years in Bush administration along with Clinton and Reagan appointees Arthur Levitt and David Ruder.

Superdelegates;

2 Superdelegates—College Democrats President and Vice President Endorsed Senator Obama.

Two other Superdelegates-
Indiana Congressman Pete Visclosky Endorses Barack Obama.

Democrats Abroad Chair Christine Schon Marques Endorses Barack Obama.

Bring the total of endorsements today to Eight.

This is not disrespectful. People and groups have the right to endorse whomever they want when they want. Since when does Hillary demand so much respect? The NARAL can endorse Barack if they want to at this time.

Go Obama!

The President of EMILYS List believes loyalty should outweigh whats right t for the country and the peoples choice?

I have lost all patience with angry women.

NARAL has supported Bill and Hillary Clinton since they were running for County pip squeak. You’re telling me they couldn’t have waited another two weeks, until the primaries are over, to announce this. This is a powerful Democratic interest group trying to gently nudge nudge nudge Hillary out of the race.

I think it'd be a much more fair and balanced article if it pointed out that Emily's List endorsed Hillary Clinton in -January-, whereas, they are claiming that it's now all of a sudden disrespectful to endorse someone with 3 weeks left? Give me a break. Hypocrites.

A huge endorsement that puts one of the final nails in the coffin ( more to come) for John McCain.

This is going to be a HUGE issue in the election and push the majority of female vote to Obama.

WHO CARES

WE ARE VOTING FOR THE NAVY GUY AND NOT THE
COMMUNITY GARDENER !

"NARAL officials said the decision wasn't intended to be a snub of Clinton, who is running to be the first female president.

They said the board decided to back Obama over Clinton because he is overwhelmingly favored to win the nomination and to heal what the organization viewed as a growing rift between black voters and white female activists that the protracted Clinton-Obama contest may have caused."

This is more of the story that was run on MSNBC. To bad it was hacked here instead of letting NARAL better explain their decision. Just enough of the story published to get some conflict going.

This somethng to be proud of?
Nina

Goes to show…obama unites across gender, racial, cultural, and economic lines
Everyone wants obama..

Ooops… except uhm.. racist. and
we want them only if the denounce their old ways.

Way to go OBAMA! As a woman I couldn't agree more! NARAL - you made the right choice!

Everyone wants Clinton out, wants her to give up, say her ty speach and go her merry way. I for one, do not. Obama makes my skin crawl, always has , always will. Not because he is a black man, but because since day one I have had a erie feeling about the man. Now its like so many want to put him on high, come get on the band wagon, well you very well may get what you wish, but remember this, "beware of false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing ,but inwardly they are ferocious wolves." You people flock to him like he is GOD, I refuse to take a chance on a UNKNOWN as him. He and his wife scare me. I think he comes full of deception and trickery. So, so what Barack Obama has picked up the endorsement of NARAL Pro-Choice America, an organization that has supported Hillary Clinton in the past. Shame on you , shame on all of us, not because she is a woman, not because she is a Clinton, because we have become blinded to WHO WE MAY HAVE SEATED IN THE WHITEHOUSE AS A PRESIDENT, Shame on us all. Forgive us when it comes to light , for we were blinded to the truth.

"It is tremendously disrespectful for an organization to support someone they believe in as opposed to basing their decision off of gender."

From Nancy Keenan's statement, it sounds like they ARE standing with an elected leader who stands up for reproductive rights. He's just not a woman. Why should they wait until the primary process is officially over? It's more or less over already.

Why is this disrepectful to Clinton. She has been totally disrespectful in thinking she is entitled to any and all matters of female concerns. She may think her gender should apply but in some rational cases it does not.

I didn't realize a candidate had to be a woman to support women's rights.

obama is has the best stand for women's choice. He was education for a women so she will not have to get an abortion.

n response to a Pennsylvania voter's question about elementary school sex education, Obama said:

"Look, I got two daughters - nine years old and six years old. I am going to teach them first about values and morals, but if they make a mistake, I don't want them punished with a baby."

Absolutely unbelievable that they would endorse him over Clinton and try to spin his support for women as greater than hers. NARAL you deserve the McCain presidency you just opted to bring into office.

I now have no respect for this organization that I have donated to in the past. Never again.

More Defecting… she won WV and it didn't even make a dent! Maybe NOW her supporters will see why every one is saying the race is over.
Sen Obama's lead is too great for her to catch with the remaining 6 states. he only needs 145 left to go whileHillary got 304!
Its OVER!!!!

I feel that this is a well deserved edorsement for Barack Obama. I thank God for fair and openly minded people. He is truly a great presidential candidate for this country. Nobody ever got anywhere without hope. We love you Barack and all of your staff.

March 28, 2008

You tell em', Ellen! Unlike the do-nothing empty suit who hasn't even completed half a senate term and votes "present" on key issues, Hillary actually took a stand on a very controversial topic and did what she had to do to protect the rights of her constituency. Shame on you, NARAL!

Hey EMILY's List, here's a little notice for you since you have obviously not paid attention to anything during this election process:

HILLARY IS NOT TO BE TRUSTED (and about 54.99% of other Americans agree with me. So, that is the reason they chose to endorse Barack over her…because they have faith in his words.

To the president of EMILY's List … it IS NOT disrespectful to HRC for NARAL to endorse the individual they believe will best serve our nation. It is actually disrespectful to NARAL for them to be criticized for their endorsement … it’s their right! Although, a woman's right to choose is an important issue … it's really too small of an issue to be the only reason to vote for a candidate … care and caution would go along way on the part of an individual to reduce their 'need' to have an abortion in the first place. I am always very leery of one issue voters … they simply do not have a balanced perspective of life!

What is Hillary still doing?

It seems she still can't make a good jugment or is she trying to get more interest from the money she borrowed to her campaign?

I think it is impudent to say Obama getting the NARAL endorsement is disrespectful to senator clinton. Neither NARAL, America, the democratic party nor anyone else is Senator Clinton's private property! If we all are objective and stopped using loyalties to decide whom to support, the world would be a better place.

Good for You! Nancy Keenan! you made the right choice. Doesn't matter when you did it, the point is, he supports it just like Billary.

Rendell , WHY ARE YA'LL TALKING V.P. DIDN'T SHE GET A WIN? YOU PEOPLE NEED TO QUIT.

The only way an endorsement could be "disrespectful" is if the other party thinks its theirs by right. You don't get to inherit these things - they have to be earned.

I think NARAL made the right choice. Obama has a record of fighting for civil rights & liberties.

The rats are jumping ship. Obama is going to be a disaster for the Democratic party.

Way to go.

This race has been over for a week.

thats Right OBAMA……why isnt that only clinton supporters are haters///////////////////they are just haters…

That's wonderful

It has nothing to do with respect, the question is - do we want a continuation if the Bush-Clinton-Bush tag time at the White House. Hilary should resign and go to the senate and do what she was electe dto do. I am sure her reasons to beacome a Senator were to somehow force her way to the White House. Sorry lady, this just isnt the right time, and you are not what the country or the world need!!

Carry on GOBAMA '08!!!!!!!!!!!11

Woo Hoo! And what in the heck is EMILY talking about?? The NARAL did
