Former Indiana Congressman & 9/11 Commissioner Lee Hamilton Endorses Obama
Sorry if this has been posted. I missed it. Great news for Obama!

"Obama is expected to get a lift in Southern Indiana where the most influential political figure there - former congressman and 9/11 Commissioner Lee Hamilton - was planning to barnstorm Saturday and Sunday to cities such as Evansville, Corydon, Madison, Columbus, Seymour and Bloomington. The Hamilton tour has the potential to shift momentum away from Clinton, who has been widely favored in the 8th and 9th CDs."

This and Baron Hill's endorsement is good news for Obama in Southern Indiana. But, there's still Evan Bayh... :puke:

3. I wonder what Kristen Breitweiser and the other Jersey Girls think of that?
Oh wait ... she expressed her opinion here on April 3rd, the day after Lee Hamilton endorsed Obama.

You Obamanutz are pathetic -- recycling old endorsements as is they were new ... in the old days we called it joementum.

15. the article you linked didn't report an endorsement; it reported that
Edited on Sat May-03-08 04:25 PM by spooky3
Hamilton was helping Obama campaign, i.e., barnstorm. The person who wrote the article TODAY was not confused about this, so I am not sure why you seem to be using that as a defense or jumping on the person who gave you evidence that the endorsement was old (by about a month) news - and that Breitweiser (and many DUers) have been highly critical of Hamilton's performance on the 9/11 commission.

Happy to kick your thread too.

6. Take your conspiracy idiocy to the Sept 11th board.
I can't help if you don't have the critical thinking skills to figure out those theories are garbage and I'm not surprised you're a CLinton supporter.

10. DO you think 9-11 was an inside job? Yes or No?
If you do than you don't have the critical thinking skills to get your self out of a paper bag.

I prefer to listen to structural engineers and my own expeiences (I worked at Building 7) over a grieving relative who doesn't unsterstand the first thing about controlled demolition or how buildings come down.

Take your thermite loving, mini-nukes, no planes lunacy to another board and please vote for Hillary.

9. Obamanutz?
that's a little harsh, don't ya think?

it's an interesting article you didn't read...
mostly about Evan Bayh and Lee Hamilton the "two most influential Democrats in Indiana"
not an announcement of an endorsement.

11. My point was that Lee Hamilton endorsed Obama on April 2nd
a side issue is that KB would be disappointed in the endorsement(which she was/is).

14. Expect a lot of comments about Lee "Whitewash" Hamilton from some...
...of the HRC supporters here. As I pointed out earlier, Hoosiers are very proud of their own, especially one who is on the World Stage. I lived in Southern Indiana for 8 years (Columbus, where Hamilton is from) and know he continues to be well respected in that part of the state. In talking to friends there, Hamilton may have more "coattails" than Evan statewide. We'll see in Tuesday.
