Comments on It's On

i dislike all the people you bolded

Ooh, Margarita Prentice. Ouch.

With those powerful Seattle City Council endorsements, I have no choice but to support Clinton.

Not.

A lot of Eastern Washington people on there. Surprize. (Just give them their own state east of the mountains already, call it Hot Farmy Bumpkinton or something)

None of these people doesn't do much for me. All I know is that my congressman, Adam Smith is for Obama and that's a good thing. He at least is going with his district as Olympia is all about Obama.

I endorse Hot Farmy Bumpkinton.

We have a Lt. Gov.?

As endorsements have come out, I've been more interested in the back story than the endorsement itself, though it's not often available.

I know Joel Connelly is roundly disdained, but unless he's outright lying, his interview with Patty Murray was interesting:

"The loyalty goes back a long ways," Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., noted Wednesday as she endorsed Hillary Clinton.

Murray put parameters on the endorsement, saying she was acting out of "personal loyalty and friendship." Murray, a member of the Senate Democratic leadership, will not participate in the caucuses.

She was pointed about which Clinton she is embracing.

"I told Hillary that finding her own voice was absolutely critical," she said. "My support is for Hillary and the Hillary I knew before she went to the Senate and with whom I have served in the Senate."

This doesn't sound like the most rousing endorsement...

I also wonder how many of the women on the list here are beholden to groups like the NW Women's Political Caucus, which raises money for women candidates and can be counted on to (surprise) endorse the woman candidate in almost any race, and likewise (surprise) has been stumping for Hillary since she announced - which would be fine if the first email I received from them hadn't been all about why this country needs a woman president.

How many of these tools are superdelegates?

We can we look forward to a post about HRC crying at Yale today?

Uh, I know you guys are pro-O and all, but a "Stop HillaryCare" ad on the right side of my screen from freedomworks.org (lower taxes, less government, more freedom)? WTF!?

They do read the SLOG, actually, I know some of them.

But it won't matter this Saturday.

Obama's got the Mo.

Brian Weinstein was an Edwards guy. Interesting.

None of these people are superdelegates.

@12: I've never felt sorrier for state reps than I do now.

That is a list of people who are going to feel pretty stupid come tommorow when Obama gets the nomination.

Where's a similar list of local Obama backers? Maybe Annie Wagner can take some time from her busy schedule to compile one.

You know, after reading the list, all I can say is, this is the Old Guard who endorsed Sen Clinton.

Kind of sad, really.

I like Obama and am most inclined to vote for him after the best candidate (Edwards) left the race. That said, did you all see yesterday's NY Times article about how he took money from a corporation that poisoned a town's water system with nuclear waste and covered it up? His defense was that he tried to push a bill through Congress that mandated corporations to report when they leaked toxins into community water systems 'but he couldn't get it through Congress'. This is Presidential material? Really? Can't get a bill that I thought had passed in the 70s and every person in their right mind would support through Congress? Hmmm....what do all you crazy Obamatons say about that?

H. L. Mencken replies to Sarina:

"Occasionally, an innocent man is elected to office."

#18: Old news on SLOG. It was discussed at length yesterday.

As far as endorsement by our state's "leaders" or anyone for that matter, who cares? Why don't they try being productive?

@18 - yeah, like we'd believe your spin on things at the last minute ...

@18,

It was discussed yesterday. And, yes, legislation requiring nuclear plants to report leaks is DOA in Washington. Obama did play hardball to get the bill out of committee however.

Good News. If the Governor's not on the list now, she may have said no. As the list illustrates, white women in office are Hillary's biggest supporter. She's got both Senators. Any other prominent WA white women office holders missing?

Is that moth balls I'm smelling?
