WP: Clinton SD now "undecided", another is "unsure"

"This is the most stressful thing I've been through in my whole life," says Virginia Del. Jennifer L. McClellan, once a Clinton supporter, now undecided.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/story/2008/05/02/ST2008050203875.html?hpid=topnews

The article states that McClellan is a "superdelegate who endorsed Clinton last year but is now wavering". And another, Del. Lionell Spruill Sr. (D-Chesapeake), is "unsure whether he will stick with Clinton".

9. My personal opinion is that her dishonesty rating is considered a flaw that is insurmountable
And snipergate has really good art as they say in the advertising business. Snipergate is first person, Hillary stars in the footage. Wrightgate doesn't actually have the candidate in the footage

21. great call also they can smell the money
Obama has collected close to 250 million so far, the whiff of cash is beginning to penetrate the spin of Hillary's momentum esp.
when she is still cash starved.

10. Nancy Larson (Obama super) might change her mind.
It is scarcely a fortnight since Nancy Larson announced that after much agonising — and despite a “heartbreaking” last-minute plea from Chelsea Clinton — her super-delegate vote would go to Barack Obama. Now she is not so sure.

“Our role is to keep gauging and re-gauging what the public wants. Although I’m comfortable with the decision I made, there is nothing to stop me changing my mind,” said this Minnesotan yesterday.

17. "Despite a 'heartbreaking' last minute plea from Chelsea Clinton"
"But WHY won't you vote for my Mom? Why? Tell me WHY"
We've heard this from other superdelegates - It makes me want to frow up!

Look, it's one thing to use your kids for a family photo op, or to stand next to you on stage, or work the crowds with you. And if the kids are old enough and bright enough - like Chelsea - let them make speeches for you and answer questions for you. But to have them telephone delegates and whine and beg! ! ! Adults don't whine and beg - that's what spoiled little kids do. She's 29 years old!

It tells me that Ms. Chelsea Clinton has been raised to please both of her demanding, high maintenance parents - to the point that she will demean herself in the process. I don't fault her for it - but her parents.

25. Only 1 of the MD SD's is for Obama but we've picked up 2 others today maybe more
Edited on Sat May-03-08 04:30 PM by NotThisTime
S. Carolina Former state Education Superintendent Inez Tenenbaum, an Obama supporter,
New Mexico State Party Chair Brian S. Colón endorses Obama.

Maryland has chosen former Gov. Parris N. Glendening TBA Monday

It looks like the Guam Party Chair & Vice Chair that are leading are Supers and one backs Obama, the other will back the winner of Guam, of which Obama is currently leading, so could be net 4 today of Super's. This doesn't include the 4 from Illinois and Maryland

23. And that's what happens when you endorse before the primaries begin!
Better to follow the will of her electorate.

26. Yes I do!!!!
In my home state, Sens. Maria Cantwell and Patty Murray - need get off their ass and endorse Obama instead of Clinton.

Obama won here 68% - 32%. Talk about NOT representing the will of their constituency!

Cantwell has at least hinted that she will not go against the pledged delegates.

And yes, I think any politician is flirting with way too much arrogance if they think they are smarter than the people who elected them. They are there to represent the views of the people they represent.

That includes the Kerry, Kennedy, Casey....and Cantwell and Murray.
