Ted Kennedy Inspires New Obama Delegate Endorsement

Deborah Nelson's endorsement has already been posted on DU, but I thought the reason behind it deserved attention. Will more superdelegates follow suit? Seems a fitting tribute to Teddy, if you ask me.

State Senator Peter Burling of Cornish and Deborah Nelson of Hanover, two former Edwards superdelegates from New Hampshire, plan to announce their switch at a news conference this morning, the Associated Press reported...

Nelson told the AP she made up her mind as she watched the news coverage of Senator Edward M. Kennedy's diagnosis with brain cancer this week. "I thought, here's someone who represents everything that matters to me, and he supports Obama, so what am I waiting for?" she said in a separate phone interview.

Other of Senator Obama's colleagues in the Senate endorsed him. Obama said more than once he anticipates HRC being his replacement in a few places...

Particularly at those White House Press Correspondents Dinners. He really roasted the media and the GOP mocking the GOP wanting a white candidate in the White House again.

He invoked her likelihood of winning the White House after him. HRC and Obama have become fast friends. Obama said to the GOP they would get a white candidate in the White House - Hillary. And that their worst nightmare was going to come true..

Or words to that effect...

In the first, she is using the demand for single payer as a threat - saying if you don't have karynnj Jul 2015 #76
