http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/la-ed-dem3feb02,0,3530861.story

lets hope some of the other big ones follow suit to sure up the double digit win in california...this is a big one

"We've reported on a few Obama endorsements today"
--Are you kidding?!?!?!?!  every time joe's aunt's second cousin endorses Obma that's all you ever talk about.  But 3 million Nurses and Millions of teachers and 3 Kennedys, countless governors and senators announce endorsements and NO HEADLINES!!!

-Give me a Break.

Clinton has far more endorsements, and supporters than Obomma.

Go Hillary 2008!!!  :)

Kevin, haven't you figured out?  No one likes Hillary.  Seriously.  The time for change has come!

please  dear lord let Hillary win, i cant wait for the clinton chronicles to come out, her taking drug pardon money, talk about lying and stuttering, she will shake rattle and roll. Oh and i would ask her if she wins will she bring the furniture back she stole at the whitehouse.

Molina endorses and Richardson is watching the super bowl with Bill Clinton Sunday..hmmmm, wonder when the next big endorsement is?

I am African in africa we have many problems from Kenya,somanli Eritrea,Ethiopia.Sudan
So iwish Hillary Clinton win SHw we help there
with her Great Husband BILLLLLL

my uncle vito has a neighbor who is thinking about endorsing obama he says he donated to a campaign once,he bought one of those buttons that came with a free bumper sticker.....how's that MSNBC???

Kevin Thank you!
First Read is carrying on it's strong love affair with Obama.

This is isn't a suprised. I'm more surprised that Bill Richardson is waiting so long to come out for Clinton. He will, of course, so I'm curious why he's taking so long.

Hek, even Jimmy Carter has weighed in already. While not officially endorsing, his comments in an interview with CNN, where he said that Obama "will be almost automatically a healing factor in the animosity now that exists, that relates to our country and its government."; and that "Obama's campaign has been extraordinary and titillating for me and my family," is one of the strongest nonendorsements I've ever read and probably as important for Obama as any that's made news today.

President Carter also mentions that all but one of his children and all eleven of his grandchildren are Obama supporters. There is an interesting video as well.
President Carter also speaks about Bill Clinton calling him and trying to explain what he said in South Carolina.  

SOMETHING TO CONSIDER: Maybe Barack could explain to us the meaning of this quote on Hillary then:

"So it's not clear to me what differences we've had since I've been in the Senate. I think what people might point to is our different assessments of the war in Iraq, although I'm always careful to say that I was not in the Senate, so perhaps the reason I thought it was such a bad idea was that I didn't have the benefit of U.S. intelligence. And, for those who did, it might have led to a different set of choices. So that might be something that sort of is obvious. But, again, we were in different circumstances at that time: I was running for the U.S. Senate, she had to take a vote, and casting votes is always a difficult test." [The New Yorker, 10/30/06]

Why no mention of the Denver Post endorsement of Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination?    

California is CLINTON COUNTRY and that holds firm. Where California goes so goes the nation.

Hillary has Been Endorsed by three of Robert F. Kennedy's kids including RFK Jr., Dian Feinstein, Maxine Waters, Gloria Molina, Loretta Sanchez, Antonio Viaragosa, the Brother of Cesar Chavez, Nurses, Teachers, Many Union members who are not behind their Union's choice in some cases of endorsing Obama, and many others. Hillary will win California; we all know California is CLINTON COUNTRY and its firm.

Every time I ask someone who’s voting for Obama why they are voting for him they say” he sounds good and Oprah likes him”  Is Oprah the new Political measure? Have we now allowed a talk show host to determine the leader for the free world> Give me a Break! When I ask these supporters of Obama what his policies are the shrug and say “ I don’t know I just like him” Have we become so lost in poetics and looks that nobody listens to Ocala’s lack of details and substance in his policies, which are so lacking even his supporters cannot remember what he says?

Hillary has been To Afghanistan with our troops, Obama has not bothered.
Hillary has negotiated on Behalf of Children in other nations while first Lady, she’s negotiated with other nations, and Obama has not.
Hillary began working on education and heath care issues when Obama was still in school. Shes been supporting civil rights for decades.
She’s been dealing and working in communities for 35 years.
She’s been working and getting bipartisan legislation passed in Congress
Several years before Obama ever got there
She was the most politically involved first lady this nation has ever had.
After law school She worked for the Children’s Defense Fund.
Lets get this right people do the math. Obama looks good sounds good and Opra likes him and he has little experience. The Gop rip him apart.

Hillary has taken everything the press and GOP have thrown out her for years and risen above it all. She’s got the International Relations Experience we Need the leader of the free world to have. She has worked and can work across party lines or fight till she gets them to agree. She knows HOW to get it done.
She has PROVEN herself.

Lets allow our nation a True Leader. Madam President Heal the Nation.

As a women who grew up in the 60's & remembers the assassination of JFK,Robert, & MLK I also remember the scandals! Ted Kennedy killing Mary Jo & using his name to beat that murder charge, I remember the love affair the president had with Marilyn Monroe! You people need to do your homework!When Kenndey was president he inherited a country that was debit free & with in months we were in a sprial, in Vietman. So to me the Kenndey backing just tells me that the old guard will run Obama!  I even remember watching the debate that Jimmy Carter had with Ronald Regan! He used his 12/13 yr old daugher Amy to discuss nuclear weapons! We had a batched attempt to get the hostages from Iran,no wonder Ronald Regan won! We had 8 years of him & his ecomonics which sent the world cracking! Then we had George Sr, who said "read my lips NO NEW TAXES" what did we get? Tax increases!Then came the Clinton/Gore team & sound policies along with a press core that didn't like the fact that they couldn't control the administration!
People ask your self what has Teddy done for you? He gave us a bill that makes our parents spend down before they can get help once they are sick! But the rich can hide their money! What has Carloine done for you? She's done nothing for this country! In her press conference "her kids" told her to support Obama! She & Carter should get together!
I'm in my early-middle 50's & I'm worried! I have used my saving to put my daughter through school,my health care cost are out of control. My mother has lost a lot of my father's GM benefits & we are worried as to how much she will continue to lose! This is all thanks to Kennedy's bill, GWB Jr's Supreme Court. We can't afford anymore mistakes! America open your eyes!

KEVIN STOP READING THE HEADLINES ON HERE NO BODY LIKE HILLARY TELL THAT TO FLORIDA ARE U KIDDING ME?....

IT JUST THAT THE NEWS IS BIAS HERE...WHEN UNCLE TED FROM THE KENNEDY A MAJOR SHIFT HE(TED) OUTSHINE O-BAMA BUT WHEN HER HUSBAND CAMPAIGN HE NEED TO SIT DOWN BUT ITZ OK FOR TED KENNEDY TO SPEAK...NOW ROBERT JR THE OLDEST SON ENDORESE HILLARY ITS A ONE LINER IN THE PAPER...U FIGURE IT OUT.
THIS IS WHAT I FIND INTERESTING IN SC WHY DID O-BAMA SPEAK TO A CROWN LIKE THIS "y’ll know they are tryin’ to bamboozle ya. It’s the same ol’ Oky Doke. Y’ll know about the Okay Doke, right?” This is a pure racially coded speech". He did say that in IOWA, NH OR NEVADA just to the southerns and never said thank you to the people in Florida...but he is a uniter, HMMMMMMMMMMM
and all the problem with the Hillary campaign is Bill NOT Hillary...no major story of how he snub Hillary but he is a uniter....ask his church members is he a uniter (only if ur black cause that is all goes there)and if ur any color besides that ur not welcome there but he is a uniter... u got to be kidding me
DIG DEEPER and you will find some answers what are u waiting for...dont remember he(O-bama) going to rehab so he can go right back...hmmmmmm

That is why I'm for Hillary they dug up all the dirt on her....read the stories on here.

QUESTION:  Does Hillary's Health Care Plan cover SUICIDE PREVENTION in the United States Armed Forces????

What no one is talking about is the impact of Hillary Clinton's lack of serious judgment.  The Army has reported that 121 Soldiers committed Suicide, with over 2000 attempts in 2007.  The stress of long tours in Iraq has forced some young men and women to take their own destiny in hand.

Hillary voted for this war... why isnt she apologizing to all parents who lost their children, either by enemy fire, friendly fire or suicide?  She would not admit that she failed in judgment.  OBAMA knew the war was wrong, and there was no clear strategy for the U.S. to exit out of Iraq when the mission was completed.  

THE TRUTH is that Senator Dick Durbin admitted on the Senate Floor that members of the Intelligence Committee KNEW that President Bush and Dick Cheney were going to war on false pretences.  John Edwards, who was on the Intelligence Committee at the time, voted for the war as well.  You can watch at the following LINK the statement by Senator Dick Durbin:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AyonYGeyFb4

Some members of the Intelligence Committee voted AGAINST the War.  Why wasnt Hillary's eyes open?  She admits in the Senate that she SAW the Intelligence reports:  WATCH HER HERE:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DkS9y5t0tR0

And on top of all these Suicides, McCain wants to keep them there for 100 years?  If Iranians, Al Queda or the insurgents dont kill our troops, they will kill themselves.  Not to mention that Al Queda was NEVER in Iraq before Bush, McCain and Clinton Invaded Iraq.  But all three wanted Saddam Hussien out of Power and they wanted control of billions of dollars in Oil.

SHAME ON HILLARY CLINTON!  Part of Being President is being Accountable!!!  Take responsibility for your vote to "Authorize Military Force on Iraq" and finally admit that you were WRONG!

John McCain - This time you have left men behind... to die at their own hand.

I think that the latinos will never again vote republician
They were slapped in the face,voting for bush who built fences and no drivers licences
Why would you vote for someone riding on  "get out new new voters", they don;t know politics, so i hope they don;t vote

Joe, San Diego.  Yes, we have figured it out. GE & MSNBC's misogynists have brain washed you & many more weak minded individuals who can not analyze or think for themselves.

I think that Obama has what it takes to heal this country all accross party lines, color lines, gender lines and political lines.

He has ran in my opinion a clean and above board campaign.  I think that Hilary can't assume that she has this contest all sown up.  When Obama won the Iowa Primary, she didn't congraulate him on his win, she just jumped on his band wagon and talked about change.  When Obama lost the New Hampshire Primary,  he was the bigger person and congraulated her on her victory and told her that "she ran a good race".  Hilary needs to know what good sportsman ship is and to realize that just becasue she was the first lady for 8 years and a sentor herself for only 5 that doesn't give her anymore experience to run the country then Obama.

KEVIN from San Diego. THANK YOU for stating it as it is!

le us   pray that hillary wins  we need aperson with experience and 35yrs is quite alot  ...dixie

Women need to see this as a time to get a women to the highest post in the land.  Men have had it for year.  Why can women not see this as the HUGE opportunity it is.  Do we really want a black MAN to get into the white house before a WOMAN.  Make a stand for once women.  Its your turn.  One of the reasons women are where they are today (less wages , less repect compared to men ) is becasue they are swayed by handsome orators(like obama).  Wake up and make a difference for women. Lots of white men get whats going on why cant women?
Vote for Hillary and change lives for everyone - women included.

Very interesting piece on www.thecityedition.com entitled "Bamboozling the American Electorate Again". Looks like Obama is being used as Karl Rove's trojan horse to try and knock Hillary out of the race. They know Obama can be taken down with the Rezco connection and, therefore, Republicans will keep the White House.

Hillary '08

nobody likes Obama - he is divisive, calculated and will say ANYTHING to win! Rezko anyone?

Hillary 08!!!

nobody likes Obama - he is divisive, calculated and will say ANYTHING to win! Rezko anyone?

Hillary 08!!!

Susan Eisenhower, grandaughter of the late General Dwight D Eisenhower, has endorsed Obama - a sign that he is the candidate who can reach out to Independent and traditional Republicans (before the GOP was hijacked by the lunatic fringe).  A vote for Hillary is a vote for McCain.

Don't let media or polititians used you under President Clinton we paid less for a lot of Less for gasoline,for grosseries,for health,car,life,home,insurance,etc,and our country was even save than today the World respect us no hanky panky Doctor's and Lab Co-payments so under President HILLARY CLINTON our Country is going to be even better because she will not make the mistakes that acording to the media her Husband did however i don't see one, He was Great to Black,Hispanish,European,Asian,etc.He wasn't and will never be a color's President but we all can see Past and Present ADMINISTRATIONS Statistics to do not let nobody used us and divided us again GO go Go president Hillary the Country is waiting for you.

 I am so tired of all the cheap shots about Hillary and Bill. Stick to the issues. It is time for a strong, intelligent woman to show what she can accomplish.                                     iI  

Not that it has anything to do with who the voters will vote for but Clinton does have a pretty impressive list of endorsements herself .She already has 14 senators several congressman double the amount of governors have endorsed her compared to what have Obama .Even though the news media fails to mention it she has a very impressive base of support built up which will make her ground game strong Tuesday .

A vote for OBAMA is a win for the Replubicans.

OBAMA can not beat McCain, Experience will win everytime.

OBAMA should be an Ambassador to countries, he can not handle the task of cleaning up behind a replubican.

I hope that MC Cain wins if OBAMA is the Dem choice.
It would serve the idiots right.

EXPERIENCE AGAINST EXPERIENCE,

If you are looking for change then what better change then from a man to a woman.

BEST CHANGE YET!

HILLARY 08'

There is trouble in Kenya that Obama visited a while ago. Is he really  Ordingo's cousin? His church is worth looking into too i did and I am really scared. His audasaty to say day after debate he could get Hillary's people but she not his?? NOT!! He has used the old politics that he wants to change by useing the box treatment from the start. You misconstru statements from some one 3 or 4 times get lots attention to it than let followers finish everytime they speak and it sounds true. Bill was useing code words for example. Not saying what words of course. Acting offended druming up discontent with people. The Martin Luther King remark was not said i am sure to offend. You act wounded make people think it was ment badly etc. soon anything they say is in this content. Do you see it?? Dont be fooled it is a real old ploy. Than all African-Americans  feel offended and feel they have the right and obligation to vote  for him and he can cry race all day everyone feels loyal and entilted/ No one means harm from this except the one who started it Obamma. Everyone like a victim  if you make yourself one than sit back everyone see it in everything.Like looking forward not wanting an old bridge right? What about that vote you made yrs ago Hillery thats new right?Look at the people not what your told  to see but what you hear ok

The difference in endorsements is not significant, but if you look at recent endorsements, including major newspapers:
--SF Chronicle
--LA Times
--Seattle Times
--Chicago Tribune
, etc. as well as the Kennedy, Kerry, Bradley types are, the most part, breaking Obama's way.  This is an early read of how the voters are moving as well, IMO.

Kevin, if I endorse you, will you stop writing comments in every blog I read?

Two of Richardson supporters in Texas, yesterday endorsed Hillary Clinton. This brings to six the number of Texas congressmen representing dominate hispanic districts in Texas to jump on the Clinton bandwagon. Texas is not by any stretch a liberal state. We want somebody who can work, somebody who's problem-solver and someone who can start from day one and not need some on the job training. I wish to also mention that in those string of meaningless endorsements yesterday reported by MSNBC and CNN, none with exception of MoveOn.org, which might have a little effect. There were three other previous endorsement that don't seem to get any coverage. L.A. Mayor Villaraigosa, Henry Cisneros, former U.S. Housing secretary and Cesar Chavez farm workers union. These are powerhouse endorsements in the state of California.

Barack Obama's secret weapon is one that the Clinton's don't have an answer for. This secret weapon offers America and the world something that the Clinton's couldn't , even on there best day.

As someone that is old enough to remember another time and place in this country when the the American people was looking for a reason to have a sense of pride and the ability to dream big dreams with endless hope and possibilities for a better tomorrow. A young man came onto the world stage and changed this country with his inspiration and hope. The critics said it couldn't be done and he told us , we are going to the moon within 10 years, AND WE DID !

Here we are today decades later and America is once again watching another young man with a unique ability to lift people up with a sense of pride , honor and integrity and the ability to give people a reason to believe again, that our best days are yet to come. Someone that understands that real change comes from the bottom up , and all things are possible with the will of the American people behind you.

The vision of a young man that tells us "we are one people" and YES WE CAN.

Yes Barack Obama is one of them leaders that has the unique ability to break down the walls that divide us , and get us all on the same page as " ONE PEOPLE".

But Barack Obama's secret weapon is one that this country and the world can take pride in , it's one that the Clinton's don't have an answer for because, this secret weapon comes with Honor , Gracefulness , Integrity , Intelligence and the background of life experiences of real every day people.

MICHELLE OBAMA ……………OUR NEXT FIRST LADY.

Los Angeles County Supervisor Gloria Molina Endorses Hillary Clinton

February 02, 2008 @ 7:00 AM


Obama called her. Local leaders pressured her. But Hillary won her over. LA County Supervisor Gloria Molina today endorsed Sen. Clinton for President, a major coup for the Clinton campaign in LA.

"I admire Hillary Clinton’s lifetime of work on behalf of children and families, and I trust that she will deliver results when she is President," Molina said. "Her experience in helping to create economic opportunities for working people, ensure access to affordable healthcare, and provide universal pre-kindergarten make her the best Presidential candidate for the unbelievably challenging times that we are living. I respect Hillary deeply, and I know that as President, she will fight for working families like the one I came from—and which have been invisible, if not neglected, under the Bush Administration."

Molina has earned a reputation as a fighter and a groundbreaker. She is the first Latina ever elected to the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, the Los Angeles City Council, and the California State Assembly. During the course of her political career, she has made it a priority to support public healthcare, create new public parks, and protect county public library services so that the children of Los Angeles County have safe spaces in which to spend time after school. Like Hillary Clinton, Molina has been a strong fighter for universal preschool. It is thanks to Molina’s persistence that Los Angeles Universal Preschool is increasing preschool capacity in underserved areas so as to level the early education playing field.

An advocate for economic development and a leader in the fight against homelessness, Molina has constructed more than 1,000 new affordable housing units in her district over the past decade—which includes all of East L.A. Molina also has served as the key force behind constructing La Alameda Shopping Center, which is expected to create 700 jobs in the unincorporated Walnut Park/Florence-Firestone region of Southeast Los Angeles .

"I am deeply grateful to have Gloria’s support," said Hillary Clinton. "She has been a phenomenal leader for Los Angeles County and a strong voice for working families in California."



Estamos Contigo Hillary!

I think it's hillarous how the media is an Obama whore, but I think Obama is an idiot for saying he will give driver's license to illiegals and provide amnesty to illiegals. Just with that statement he will lose to a Republican yet the media ignores this.

I have been a lifelong Democrat and had the opportunity to work for both liberal and conservative Democrats.....I chose sides in those campaigns based on various issues and positions the candidates held....why is MSNBC taking such a strong position of support for OBAMA? Your coverage of his campaing is a 24X7 endorsement of his candidacy. Why don't you just come out and endorse the guy and make it official? It is disturbing to see your "News" coverage of the campaing with a variety of the newscasters foaming at the mouth everytime they bring up big bad Hillary and Bill....your coverage is just about a charade.....

I wish kevin stops and view whats going on today in history.America will not accept hillary for the fact she is weak.Obama is the choosen son of America no color,no racist factor can stop this man from winnimg and that is a change in the new America.old political manuals are far over and it shows,prior presidents have failed americans and it ends.We need fresh ones like obama.Hillary can now play Grandma role at home.

I am a register Republican...but Hilary has done an out stand job as Senator for New York State.She has been there for the farmers...she came to our UAW plant in Rochester, New York to see what can be done to save the jobs.If Hilary is the Democrat running I will pull the lever in Nov. for her. She has a mind of her own,she is smart,and thinks things out before she makes a decision ...as for the war at that TIME it was the right decision and it wasn't just her vote that made that decision to go to war.So why is America holding it over her head??? We have to look ahead and not back...she will do what she says...she has in New York State. The Kennedy backing they don't have a good running record.J.F.Kennedy it has been know he had a problem chasing women. And Ted Kennedy,had a drinking problem,he too,chased women, and because of drinking a young man was killed with his car and him driving.Therefore "The Kennedy's" have not always made the right decisions in life so why would the American people care who he supports!!! Hilary has no dirty brooms in her closet and they can't dig up dirt on her. It will be a long time before there will ever be a women to match up to Hilary Clinton.

I was so devasted when JFK and Robert were assinated. I rember the extream loss of our camalot and I remember MLK and the speaches he made and how he made a difference to so many but Obama trust me is none of these.I think it is a card not needed to be played.

This election shows the Nation that California CANNOT be bought!

Not by Oprah, Ted Kennedy and His Machine, Nor Marie Shriver!

We in California have always led the nation and have refused to buy into Obama's sexist and disrespectful spin and meaningless endorsements. We dont trust his rhetoric he has nothing to back it up.

Socrates warned about listening to rhetoric. Anyone who is skilled in speaking can gain followers from the desperate rich white liberal masses. Obama's base (Outside of the economically diverse African American community.

Women, Latinos, Asians, Native Americans,and other working people in America who make under 75,000 a year vote for Hillary because she has proven over time she gives a damn. She deserves our votes.

We Vote for the Issues and the most experienced person. We are NOT going to hand over the leadership of this nation to someone with no experience in either economics or international affairs. Obama is NOT ready to lead he is only ready to speak beautiful words without the experience to back up his own agenda.

Obama never did anything for the Latino community, he just came here to get his votes. Well guess that didnt work!

Latinos and Women Vote For Hillary because she has been there and helped for years!

California cannot be bought- we do it OUR WAY

and that is making sure Hillary is our next President!

I guess nobody told Obama and Oprah that CALIFORNIA IS CLINTON COUNTRY!
