<title>Slog - Comments on McDermott Endorses Obama</title>

As Democrats, we are fortunate to have two very talented public servants running to be the nominee of our party, and I have great respect for Senator Clinton. But I believe now is the time to unite behind Barack Obama so we can be in the strongest place possible to win in November. Barack Obama has chosen to spend...</description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>Nothing is ever good enough for some of you weenies, is it?</p>

<p>Just the slightest bit of research would have revealed that the Clntons raised a lot of money for Jim's legal defense fund. They were there for Jim when Jim needed them, which is entirely praiseworthy.</p>

<p>So Jim couldn't exactly throw them under the bus before this race had been decided, could he?</p>

<p>Jim's declaration comes before the convention, and it helps wrap things up before then. So please quit the nitpicking and the whining.<br />

<description><![CDATA[<p>@5 is right.  Loyalty, mutual support, "dancing with who brought you," all that will have absolutely no place in the administration of President Barack Obama and Vice President Bill Richardson.  And the fact that the Clintons helpe dother Democrats for years and years and years and years ois absolutely shameful.  We condemn helping other Democrats in time of need!</p>

<p>Also the idea that McDermott lacks balls because he waited till the race is over is yet another bit of malicious stereotyping by the evil Clinton campaign.  Obviously, like all the other undecided superdelegates, who are the same Democrats who can't cut off funds in Congress to stop the war, McDermott is a profile in courage with his brave decision to wait till Obama has it sewn up.</p>

<p>We need more brave, strong Democrats just like him-- people who know how to lead, not just follow.<br />
