The endorsements for Obama are coming in from all over since NH:

Sen Claire McCaskill (MO)
Arizona Gov Janet Napalitano
Sen Ben Nelson (NE)
Atlanta Mayor Shirley Franklin
Sen Tim Johnson (SD)
Sen John Kerry (MA)
Rep George Miller (CA)
Ned Lamont
Gary Hart

Obama's campaign also says they are bringing in about $1 million/day since Jan 1. Barack is on a major roll. Meanwhile Hillary Clinton supporters are suing to limit the voting turnout in Nevada. Pathetic.
what  does  this  stimulus  package  do  to help  us  who only  have  social  security  to live  on,    do  we  just   get  left  behind  as  usual.  something  needs  to be  done  to  help  us, or  are they just  waiting  for us  to   die  first.  absolutely  nothing   for  us  again.   Is  there  something  wrong  here.  thanks  bonnie
ok   thanks, i,m  sure it  won,t  appear,  just put us  seniors in  the  corner  so  you  can pretend  we,re not out  here.  thanks  again
