I guess it proves that Obama can indeed reach across party lines.

Rather than Move.on being the kiss of death, this probably will be.

Maybe Mayor McCheese is hoping for some trolley money. The interstate highway system was a defense project. Maybe we can get a transit system this time from the Department of Health and Human Services- rationale less smog, healthy lungs. Makes more sense than the highway system built for defense planes to land on and for evacuating cities quickly. I'd laugh my ass off watching people trying to evacuate Seattle.

Yeah, the Rossi-supportin' "Eastsi-eed."

Sounds like the local politicians have a better grasp of what Seattle residents believe... and probably a more accurate perception of the reality of the average voter.

The state officials have been bought and paid for by the DNC, and thus their "support" is a farce. Of course they could be biased by their gender also...

Hopefully these "super delegates" will wake up to what their citizens want, and throw their weight behind Obama.

They are also biased due to their political aspirations so I'm not holding my breath either way.

You would think the Obama people could have had him hold off on the endorsement until after the caucases. This is literally like tying a 400 lb. anvil to your leg.

It would be literally like an endorsement from an ineffectual polititian

Great--now voting for Hillary isn't even an option.

Getting Mayor McCheese some low-level Federal patronage post in the Obama Administration may very well be the only way of moving his fat ass out of Seattle.

Welcome as the news is, why is it I have trouble imagining the term "Fired Up & Ready to Go" applying to Mayor Nickels?

Now, we gotta lobby Gregoire to Gobama.

Because Seattle always follows the mayor's lead 100% on everything.

Not really...@4: No, more the "Gonna elect Darcy this year" Eastsi-eed.

Bald Face Lie@11: God damn it. You made me watch five minutes of Sean Hannity and Ann Coulter just to find out that... surprise, surprise... Coulter didn't actually endorse HRC. She just did the fascist version of the "If Hillary is the candidate I'm going to vote for the Republicans" SLOG whine. Especially bad was having to listen to Alan Colmes. And hearing the totally unprofessional offstage snickering. Thanks for nothing.
