Hillary Clinton will endorse Barack Obama.

[SoonerPride]

Yes, she will.

Maybe not today.
Maybe not next week.
But long before the convention.

Have no fear: Hillary Clinton will endorse, enthusiastically, unequivocally, loudly, proudly.... she WILL endorse Barack Obama.

United We Stand.

She will be on board and back the nominee. It will happen.

I hope that the Hillary backers will follow HER lead and unite behind the best option we have to save America. He my not be your first choice, your second choice or even your 20th choice. But he is a damn site far better than fucking John McCain. All Democrats should agree with that.

John Kerry does
Chris Dodd does
Bill Richardson does
John Edwards does

And Hillary Clinton will too.

[onenote]

1. Agreed.

[MonkeyFunk]

2. There's never been any doubt

that she'd endorse the eventual nominee, no matter who it was.

[LakeSamish706]

3. I agree as well, and I hope that she doesn't do any more damage until that time comes. n/t

[RichGirl]

16. If she has done damage to Obama...

then he's not ready for the general, because the republican attacks are going to make Hillary's attacks look like teasing.

As a Clinton supporter I have no doubt in my mind that Hillary will endorse Obama when/if he is the nominee. And, like she said, she will campaign her heart out for him.

[Heather MC]

24. The Repuke machine is limping, and Obama can unleash on them

he was holding back on Hillary, b/c he wanted to respect the party.
Obama can crush that old ratt they are calling a candidate

[SoonerPride]

26. I agree 100%.

He handled Hillary with kid gloves to do no harm to her or the party.

He didn't dredge up any spurrious crap that you know the repukes would unleash.

He wants us united and so does Hillary.

Unite!

[cui bono]

47. Exactly. He showed great restraint and when he unleashes on McCain it will be good.

[JuniperLea]

4. Yep, she has said it all along

And I believe she will.

[goldcanyonaz]

5. Of course she will, but will it be too late?

[RichGirl]

18. Too late?

You must be one of those younguns that Obama brought on board. Politics is not for the faint of heart. It's fast and ugly but we will forget spats and quarrels of the primary quickly because the general election will bring fresh new hell everyday.

[goldcanyonaz]

22. I meant too late for Clinton supporters to jump on board. The sores are fresh.

[Danger Mouse]

29. If Clinton supporters decide to sit it out even when Clinton calls for reconciliation...

well, that shows some real selfishness.

[goldcanyonaz]

38. as much selfishness as all the ABCs that were afforded privileges for months around here?

[Danger Mouse]

46. i'm not sure i follow.

[CreekDog]

56. then they are voting against all that Hillary supports

if she is that important to you because of what she stands for, then you are letting her down and undermining lifelong causes she has championed in not supporting the Democratic nominee.

but if supporting Hillary is more important than supporting her values, which make her what she is, then that's how you set priorities.

[walldude]

60. So are you saying that "Fresh sores" are going to trump

health care reform, a quicker end to the war, liberals on the SCOTUS, foreclosures, and a failing economy? I have seen at least 3 Hillary supporters in the last hour claim they will vote for Nader or write her in should she lose the nomination. I for one hope that when the nominee is chosen that people advocating a loss for Democrats are booted right the fuck off of DU.

[cali]

61. LOL. It's always funny to see someone make a condecending and totally

erroneous leap. The poster you addressed is a strong Clinton supporter.

[hisownpetard]

6. And her oral approval, at that point, will not be worth the paper it's written on.

[RichGirl]

20. So you're saying that Obama doesn't need...

her supporters? I bet he's not as confident as you are and will really appreciate her endorsement as it will help heal the party and shift her supporters his way.

[onenote]

25. wrong.

It is important and will rightfully be regarded as such by the Obama campaign.

[SoonerPride]

27. I agree. It will matter. Greatly.

I will rejoice that day.

[Danger Mouse]

59. Obama would disagree strongly. I am sure he will welcome Clinton's support.

Amazing how Clinton and Obama themselves are so much more mature than many DUer's.

[Shakespeare]

7. I think Edwards' wonderful remarks about her yesterday will ease the way.

I'm still moved by what a total class move that was by my candidate. I :loveya: Edwards. I'm actually feeling much better the last couple of days about our prospects for party unity.

[slinkerwink]

8. In full agreement.

[BlooInBloo]

9. Whenever she does, it'll be welcome.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

10. Dibs on November 2 in the pool!

[elocs]

11. But is it possible for her to build up herself without tearing down Obama from now on?

Cutting him down and attacking him now does not make Clinton taller or more noble.

[Danger Mouse]

34. she's been very classy lately.

[4_Legs_Good]

12. She'll do it in Florida

Mark my words.

A very smart move too! (I'm a genius, you see!)

David

[Forkboy]

13. Yup...no doubt in my mind on that.

[rock]

14. Well, duh!

Of course she will (if he's the Dem candidate).

[Rockholm]

15. Of course she will.

[bigwillq]

17. Yes she will.

I think eventually she will do the right thing. :)

[ruggerson]

19. I don't need you to instruct me how to vote

nor do I need Hillary Clinton nor Barack Obama to tell me how to vote.

I vote for the Democratic nominee, and have long before Hillary or Barack were in elective office.

[grantcart]

21. and you have always made it very clear too

unfortunately there appears to be many that lack your bearing

[Danger Mouse]

31. you're obviously very rational and mature, so you don't NEED this pointed out to you.

[Douglas Carpenter]

23. thanks. I think it is a good idea to remember this now

In spite of all the primary language. Sen. Clinton is pragmatic and rational.

I have no doubt whatsoever that she will campaign for him enthusiastically.

[Danger Mouse]

28. She will, and she and Obama will work together towards repairing the rift.

[SoonerPride]

30. It won't be as hard as some might think.

There wil lbe a few who slip away from the camp, but ost will get on board and fight for the common good.

[Danger Mouse]

32. mutual hatred of mccain will help a lot.

:)

[NatBurner]

35. i'm an obama supporter, and i want her to keep going

why?

becuz she SAID she would-
she's a "fighter" so let her fight til the last primary

she'll get her digs in on o, for sure
but she's fighting for the party as well

today at least

but let her do her thing; she's paying for it

[Catherina]

36. Yes she will. She'll not only endorse, she'll work proudly with

Hillary's an intelligent woman. She knows she lost fair and square and has the strength of character to accept that like a mature adult.

[SoonerPride]

37. Yep. Agre 100% We will march united arm in arm and take back our country!!

[Catherina]

68. Yes we can and Yes we will! n/t

[AlinPA]

39. I hope she endorses him. But her supporters are organizing to fight Obama in the GE.

[SoonerPride]

40. Only a few loons

99% wil fall in line.

They are not our enemy

[Catherina]

43. IMO that's only some supporters. Most of those "some" supporters

were going to fight Obama in the GE anyway for the last phase of Operation Chaos.

I can't think of many women who would gamble away their daughters' rights because they didn't get their way in an election.

Anger over womens' issues is just a smokescreen. Anyone who says they'll back McCain didn't share Democratic party values to begin with. IMO of course.

When those idiots organize to fight Obama in the GE, I'll betcha the first people to beat them up will be Hillary card-carrying Democratic supporters who won't appreciate the charade.

[AlinPA]

49. I hope you are right and there are not that many. Those polls that show

a lot of them not voting for Obama sounds bad.

[Hepburn]

41. ...

...<falling over in a dead faint>

That is what is gonna happen to me if Hillary does that! :hi:

[SoonerPride]

50. I'll be there to catch you, sweetie.

:)

[Hepburn]

63. Heya....

...then I will stay on this diet so there is not so much to catch!

:hi:

[shaniqua6392]

42. I have never once doubted that she will do this for Obama.

She just wants to see this to the end. She has a lot invested and she has millions of people who are going to be disappointed that she did not win. But they will never be disappointed that she did not fight. She has fought valiantly in my opinion. All the Dems on your list, including Senator Clinton, are a group that I am very proud of. I am also proud of Senator Obama too.

[Rene]

53. I'm not proud of a senator obama who practically hid under his desk

during his term in the Senate. The man doesn't make decisions(120 PRESENT) votes and doesn't hole critical committee meetings (oversight of Nato / Afghanistan)

[dchill]

55. Do you mean his term in the Illinois State Senate?

That's the place where "present" is actually allowed as a vote - not in the US Senate. "Present" is usually used as a strategic move and does not indicate "hiding under a desk." Word. Know things. It's kinda neat. Obama = Your nominee, too.

[SoonerPride]

58. Hillary will endorse Obama. You should be proud of that.

[shaniqua6392]

69. I have chosen to remain neutral throughout this process.

I looked at them both and I like them both. I am also hopeful that we will vote OUT a lot of Republicans this fall from the House and Senate. To me, that is as important as who we get for President. We need everyone to vote Straight Party Democrat. I care about the 3 possible Supreme Court nominations that may come up during this term. It is hard to undo what George Bush has done, but we must put aside any petty differences no matter how important we think they are. There is too much on the line. Clinton supporters should find out who in their congressional district is up for re-election and if they are a Republican, work hard for the Democrat challenger. We can do this. Don't worry about Obama. He will have a lot of pressure on him to deliver on his campaign promises. If he doesn't do what he says he will do he will get a one way ticket out of there in four years.

[JVS]

44. And under the bus she'll be tossed by her supporters

[The Doctor.]

45. No doubt.

K+R

[Lady-Damai]

48. I doubt it.

:spank:

[Colobo]

51. Of course she will.

[Rene]

52. hhmmm kerry,loser dodd,loser richardson,loser edwards,loser

Clinton is a fighter and will be the ultimate winner/candidate. Get behind and support HER.

[ClassWarrior]

54. And how do you characterize Mondale, Ferraro, Clark, Kerrey, and Vilsack?

I characterize them all as good Dems. Not a loser in the bunch.

NGU.

[SoonerPride]

57. The primary battles are over

Unite and we will win.

[tekisui]

72. Those look like winners to me.

All but Edwards still hold high level office. And Edwards isn't anywhere near retiring. Clinton is a fighter, but fighters don't always win. She didn't this time, but she is still a Senator, and has a political career ahead.

[DesEtoiles]

62. .

[dailykoff]

64. That ship has sailed.

Nothing she does now will convince me she's not fighting for the RNC, because she has been all along.

[Beacool]

65. Hillary may endorse him,

but that doesn't mean that her supporters will necessarily follow suit.

[HCE SuiGeneris]

66. You state your position 3-5 times a day. Who are you trying to convince?

[Eurobabe]

67. I believe she will. n/t

[TexasObserver]

70. she will endorse Obama eventually, but I don't expect her to campaign

She's simply not interested in seeing Obama win in November, so she's not going to help him win.

[SoonerPride]

74. I think she will campaign. At least some.

Quid pro quo

[kennetha]

71. Of course, she will! She will be his VP

If Hillary Clinton doesn't capture the nomination -- which, barring upsets in Oregon, SD and Montana, she seems unlikely to do -- will be the VP nominee. There is an inevitable and irresistible political logic, inexorably driving in that direction. By the end of the primary she will almost certainly be ahead of Obama in the popular vote. If and when Florida and Michigan are seated, she will be within a 100 delegates of him. Her supporters are just as passionate about her as Obama's are about him. Between the two of them they will have garnered nearly 40, 000, 000 votes -- an amazing number. The best way to ensure that the vast, vast majority of those voters remain committed and engaged through the GE is a joint ticket. The best way to ensure that some significant number of those voters sit out the GE or go for McCain is for Obama to stiff arm Clinton.

[SoonerPride]

73. Do you think she might not accept a VP offer?

I'm not sure she wants to be a VP on the ticket
