Senator Hillary Campaign insiders told MsNbc The Morning Joe Show this morning that Senator Clinton is planning on dropping out.

I will give you more on this as we get the infomation in some of her speech you could hear when she won West Virginia that it was over and that Clinton will support the Persumptive Nominee which she wants her supportes in the Democratic Party to do aswell.

I am going to take a wild guess that she will officially drop out after the Oregon and Kentucky primary or by June 3rd 2008.

I do not believe the Clinton campaign will take this all the way to the Convention.

Hillary and her campaign will not want to be seen in history as preventing the Democrats from taking back the Whitehouse.

I just hope Hillary will fight as hard for Senator Barack Obama as she did during the Democratic Primaries in her bid for to be President of The United States.

I ask all Clinton supporters to join us now in a United front to defeat McCain and the Bush failed Policies of the last 8 years now.

Support Obama as Senator Clinton will once she drops out in early June at the latest.

Obama yes We Can beat McCain and Yes He Will .

Countdown to the Nomination - 121.5 Delegates to Go
by Sam Graham-FelsenFriday, May 16, 2008 at 08:44 AM
Yesterday, Obama secured the support of 4 superdelegates (Reps. Henry Wexler, Jim McDermott and Howard Berman and Larry Cohen (CWA DNC)), 1 pledged delegate in North Carolina (because of updated vote tallies in the state) and 7 pledged delegates that had previously supported John Edwards. That means that the number for Obama to secure a majority of pledged delegates has gone down from 25 to 17. And the number Obama needs to secure the nomination is 121.5.



The Math



Total Pledged Delegates: 3,253

Pledged Delegates needed for a majority of pledged delegates: 1,627

Total delegates needed for nomination: 2,025



Edwards Pledged Delegates who are now Obama Delegates:7

Obama Pledged Delegates:1,603

Obama Super Delegates: 293.5

Obama Total Delegates:1,903.5

OK Superdelegate Endorses Obama; Delegate Countdown - 134.5 to go
May 14, 2008 at 04:18 PM
Today, Oklahoma Senate President Pro Tempore Mike Morgan, who is a designated superdelegate for the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee, endorsed Barack Obama for president, citing Obama’s strong commitment to uniting our country for the change America needs after eight years of a divisive political climate and the help he will give to down ballot candidates this fall.

Morgan’s endorsement means that Obama has been endorsed by 288.5 superdelegates. Obama is 134.5 delegates away from securing the Democratic nomination.

Morgan said, “Senator Obama embodies the character of a leader that I believe all Oklahomans and all Americans want�"principled and strong and ready to change the way business is done in Washington. He understands bringing people together and giving everyone a seat at the table will move our state and our country forward, and I deeply admire that about Senator Obama.”

Morgan, who serves on the board of the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee whose mission it is to elect Democrats in all 50 states, said key to his decision to support the Illinois Senator was Obama’s electability and how having Obama at the top of the ticket will help down ballot candidates this fall.

Morgan added, “The job of the DLCC is to ensure Democrats are positioned to win in legislatives races throughout the United States. Senator Obama’s message is spreading like wildfire and creating enthusiasm from voters unlike anything we have seen in our lifetime. I believe that enthusiasm will affect down ballot races�"helping elect Democrats to legislative seats in record numbers and ultimately lending a voice to the causes about which all Americans care deeply.”

Senator Obama said, “I am grateful for Senator Morgan’s support. He has been in the trenches as a Democratic legislator in Oklahoma, and has worked hard to bring two parties together to create real change in his home state. This November, we have a chance to win in so-called “red states” like Oklahoma and unite Americans for change. That change happens in state houses all across this country and I am proud to have his support.”   Read More »

After a review of my recent County Executive race I am more aware then ever of the need to galvanize, motivate and inspire political participation by every member of society. Senator Obama has been a lightening rod in the effort to return citizens to the process. He’s awakened a sleeping giant �" the people. He has reenergized those weary of politics as we have come to know it by demonstrating both character and personal strength. He has connected with a cross-section of Americans, with a desire to do things better then we have done before. He has an energy and commitment that is inclusive, thoughtful, contagious and deliberate. Senator Obama has the essential skill set to foster positive changes desperately needed for our nation. His track record on policy, his diplomatic approach to conflict resolution and his keen awareness of the issues have positioned him to be the catalyst for change we need. Visionary, courageous and capable, Senator Obama is not only prepared to answer that 3am crisis phone call, he’s smart and experienced enough to avert it.

Who Do You Support Obama or McCain?
If you support McCain then your a Closet Republican
If you support Obama then your a real Democrat
So whats your vote Obama or McCain its that simple.
Hillary is not going to be the Persumptive Nominee its over now.

Senator Barack Obama has shown he can take the attacks and hate that some have thrown at him during this campaign.
He has weathered the Political Storm and with Edwards who also is a People Candidate with his endorsement a new generation of Democrats will takeover the Party from the Old Guard of the Past which nolonger represents the future of the Party or the American people.

Its time for Progressive Change in the Democratic Party .
Its long overdue.

As a person who grew up in the 1960's I remember all the College age Students who were protesting to end the Vietnam War,who supported Robert kennedy,George McGovern back then .It was also a time of Social Change and Hope at the same time.

The Changes that Democrats wanted then did not fully become realized so many became what they were against.

The Joe Liebermans of the World once a Democrat and marched for Civil Rights when he was younger now he became what he was against a Republican Establishment Politician.

Senator Barack Obama represents a New Progressive politics that has not be allowed to exist ,but now is a reality.

The older ones of our Party who support Clinton and who will vote for McCain .

I ask how many were the ones protesting for peace back in the 1960's now are aginst Senator Obama who stands for the same Progressive values you protested for back in the 60's.

Its over for Hillary now.
Thank You Senator Eswards for your Endorsement lets beat McCain and the GOP in November.

Senator John Edwards has endorsed Senator Barack Obama the persumptive Presidential Nominee of the Democratic Party This from CNN News WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Former Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards will endorse Sen. Barack Obama on Wednesday at a campaign event in Grand Rapids, Michigan, according to Obama's campaign. Sen. Barack Obama and Sen. John Edwards in a CNN sponsored debate in South Carolina in January. Edwards dropped out of the Democratic race on January 30 after poor showings in the early contests. He told NBC last week that Obama, the Democratic front-runner, is the party's likely nominee. Both Obama and the his rival, Sen. Hillary Clinton, had sought Edwards' blessing. Edwards said last week that it was "fine" for Clinton to continue making her case but expressed concern that a continued campaign could damage the party's prospects in November. Wednesday's endorsement could help Obama reach out to white blue-collar voters, a demographic that Obama has failed to capture, most notably in the recent Pennsylvania and West Virginia primaries. Edwards had campaigned on the message that he was standing up for the little guy, the people who are not traditionally given a voice in Washington, and that he would do more to fight special interests. After dropping out of the race, Edwards asked both Clinton and Obama to make poverty a central issue in the general election and a future Democratic administration, something both agreed to do. Watch Edwards discuss Obama and Clinton on "Larry King Live" » Don't Miss Election Center 2008 An endorsement from Edwards, who ran as vice president on Sen. John Kerry's ticket in the 2004 presidential election, would have a significant impact on the race, Democratic strategist Peter Fenn said after Edwards dropped out. "You could make an argument that the change issue does benefit Barack Obama, that he picks up that support. You could also make the argument that there's a lot of support out there amongst people that will go to Hillary," he said. "The big issue here is who will he endorse." Some political pundits predicted that Edwards' supporters are more likely to lean in Obama's direction. "The conventional wisdom is that Barack Obama will pick up maybe 60 percent of them, and in some places, that makes a huge difference," former presidential adviser David Gergen said in January. Time magazine's Joe Klein contends that Clinton "represents a lot of the things that [Edwards] campaigned against, you know, the old Washington Democratic establishment that he believes got too close to the corporations in the '90s." Edwards announced that he was dropping out in New Orleans, Louisiana, the same city where he declared his run for the 2008 Democratic presidential race. "It is time for me to step aside so that history can blaze its path," he said. With his wife, Elizabeth, and children at his side, Edwards said he couldn't predict "who will take the final steps to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue," but he said it would be a Democrat. Edwards trailed Clinton and Obama in the early contests, including a third-place finish in Florida's primary with 14 percent of the votes. He also came in third in key races in New Hampshire and South Carolina. Klein said Edwards played a positive role in spurring his competitors during the early part of the campaign. "On a lot of substantive issues like health insurance, he was the first one out of the box with a very ambitious universal plan, and I think he forced the others to become bolder in a lot of their policy prescriptions, energy dependence and so on," Klein said. John Edwards is a South Carolina native with an undergraduate degree from North Carolina State University and law degree from the University of North Carolina. Before entering politics, winning a Senate seat from North Carolina in 1998, Edwards was a lawyer representing families "being victimized by powerful interests," according to his campaign Web site.   Read More »

Rep. Tom Allen (D-ME) Endorses Obama; Delegate Countdown - 153 To Go that was earlier today below
---------------------------------------------------------
Breaking from the Portland Press Herald...

Democratic Rep. Tom Allen announced this morning that he is supporting Barack Obama for president.

"I have been friends for a very long time with former President Clinton and Sen. Clinton. I respect their service to our nation," Allen said in a written statement. He added that "most of the primary voters across the nation have now spoken. It is time to bring a graceful end to the primary campaign. We now need to unify the Democratic party and focus on electing Sen. Obama and a working majority in the United States Senate."
More on Rep. Allen's endorsement...

PORTLAND ��" Congressman and U.S. Senate candidate Tom Allen today pledged his support to Senator Barack Obama. Allen made his announcement during a 10:30 a.m. press conference at his campaign headquarters here.

Allen said he believes that both Obama and Senator Hillary Clinton are “supremely qualified to be president.”

“I have been friends for a very long time with former President Clinton and Senator Clinton. I respect their service to our nation. Hillary Clinton has run a vigorous campaign and has attracted a passionate following in Maine and around the country. She loves this country and is a true leader. For her service, I am grateful,” he said.

“Most of the primary voters across the nation have now spoken. It is time to bring a graceful end to the primary campaign. We now need to unify the Democratic Party and focus on electing Senator Obama and a working majority in the United States Senate. That is how we can change the direction of the country.

“I am running for the U.S. Senate because I believe Maine should lead the change this country needs. I share important priorities with Barack Obama: universal health care, reining in gas and food prices, greater independence from foreign oil, bringing our troops safely home from Iraq, creating jobs and strengthening the middle class.”

Allen said Obama is the embodiment of change for Maine and America.

“In February I watched a new generation of Mainers become involved in our nominating process because they were energized and hopeful about the future. I watched Independents and Democrats ��" and even a lot of Republicans -- in Maine enthusiastically support Barack Obama because they believe he can and will put America back on track,” he said.

Obama won Maine’s Democratic caucuses in February. His candidacy helped drive record turnout of some 45,000 participants.

Senator Obama said Maine needs Tom Allen in the U.S. Senate for the change we need. Obama’s full statement:

“Tom Allen understands the challenges this country is facing, and no one has worked harder to solve them. He knows that if we’re going to bring about the change this country needs, we’re going to have to change the way Washington works. That’s why he’s never been afraid to stand up to the special interests and demand accountability from our leaders.

“Like me, Tom opposed the war in Iraq from the start, and he’s been a tireless advocate for ending the war and reshaping our foreign policy to truly make this country safer and more respected. He’s fought for tax cuts for the middle class, health care for all, and a return to fiscal responsibility -- something this President and his allies in the Senate seem to have forgotten about completely.

“I’ve had the opportunity to meet voters from every corner of Maine, and they have spoken with one voice about the need for real change. There’s no question that Tom’s record of service, his tenacity, and his judgment will make him an excellent Senator. I’m thrilled to be working alongside him in this critical election, and I look forward to working with him as President.”

Then here is the next one that happened later after that endorsement.
Hawaii Superdelegate Dolly Strazar Endorses Barack Obama; Delegate Countdown - 152 To Go
Monday, May 12, 2008 at 12:13 PM
CHICAGO, IL ��" Today, Hawaii Superdelegate Dolly Strazar endorsed Barack Obama for President. Strazar is the 279th superdelegate to endorse Obama. Obama is 152 delegates away from securing the Democratic nomination.

Strazar's statement...

As a Democratic National Committeewoman, I have felt it my duty to let this unique presidential campaign process play out, one that has reached across the country and engaged millions of Americans in expressing their preference for a Democratic nominee before expressing my preference as a superdelegate. I am now convinced that it is time to pull together behind a single candidate who has the backing of a growing number of Americans. I therefore announce my wholehearted endorsement of Senator Barack Obama.

I have had and still do have the utmost respect for Senator Hillary Clinton and the positive and uplifting force that both of the Clintons have been in Hawaii. It excites me, however, to enter active campaigning for a son of Hawaii who learned the lessons of "getting along" that so dominate the values of the people of the fiftieth state. I am convinced that these values of inclusiveness and respect for differences that we take for granted in Hawaii are part of what has made our America a nation based on freedom, equality, justice and the pursuit of happiness. I further believe that these values will serve to unify our country and lead us to victory in November.

The will of Democrats in Hawaii was expressed loudly and clearly in February and I am proud to see that that same vision has been reflected throughout the country in Democratic support for Senator Obama.

Dr. Marie Dolly Strazar is a member of the Hawaii Democratic Party.

Senator Daniel Akaka Endorses Barack Obama; Delegate Countdown - 151 To Go
Monday, May 12, 2008 at 01:56 PM
CHICAGO, IL ��" Today, U.S. Senator Daniel Akaka from Hawaii endorsed Barack Obama for President. Akaka is the 280th superdelegate to endorse Obama, who is now 151 delegates away from securing the Democratic nomination.

Senator Akaka’s Statement is below:

For more than a year, people have asked me who I plan to endorse for President of the United States. I’ve waited this long for several reasons. The Democratic campaign began with more than ten declared candidates. As a veteran of more than 30 years on Capitol Hill, I knew each and everyone of them and had worked closely with all. I had no doubt that each of them had the knowledge and ability to lead our country out of the financial and diplomatic chaos that we’ve experienced for the past eight years.

Having waged a number of campaigns myself, I can tell you they are not easy. Campaigns are tests, and there’s no tougher one than running for President. Like many Americans, I’ve followed the campaign for President closely and with growing interest, eager to see which candidate would articulate a vision for our country, encourage hope and renew faith in our government, and stand to the rigors of a nationwide contest.

After giving it a lot of thought, I’ve decided that for me, that candidate is Barack Obama.

Rather than echo his supporters or review his platform on health care, the environment, or the war in Iraq, I want to add a different voice to those who believe Senator Obama would make a fine President. He is the antidote we need to cure Washington of the uninspired, partisan politics that has plagued our country far too long.

What makes him uniquely qualified? A March 2008 feature in Vanity Fair magazine offers a clue: “He was born and came of age in Hawaii, the 50th state and in many ways among the freest��'thinking, where mixed��'race ancestry is …a given... If Obama comes across as a bit of a softy��"if you don’t see the toughness or the ambition at first��"it may be in part because he spent his formative years in a place where ‘Live Aloha’ had not yet become a slogan aimed at recapturing a more gracious time, but was simply a way of life.”

I have great hope, that in his own way, Barack Obama will achieve what I have been working to accomplish my entire Congressional career, more tolerance and understanding, an appreciation for common goals and interests, rather than an emphasis on our differences.

While I am pledging my support to Senator Obama, I want to make it very clear that I hold both Senator Hillary Clinton and President Bill Clinton in the highest regard as colleagues and friends. Senator Clinton has campaigned hard and well and I wish her all the best as we move forward. In an example of her leadership and commitment, Senator Clinton has promised that come November, the Democratic Party will be united behind our presidential nominee and I send her my fondest aloha for her courage and selflessness.

Last but not least the last one for today Idaho Superdelegate Keith Roark Endorses Barack Obama; Delegate Countdown - 150 To Go
May 12, 2008 at 02:18 PM
CHICAGO, IL ��" Today, Idaho Superdelegate Keith Roark endorsed Barack Obama for President. Roark is the 281st superdelegate to endorse Obama, who is 150 delegates away from securing the Democratic nomination.

Roark's statement:

After several months of careful consideration, I am announcing today that I will cast my vote this August at the Democratic National Convention for the next President of the United States, Senator Barrack Obama. I have not come quickly or easily to this decision. Democrats are blessed to have two outstanding candidates vying for our party’s nomination at this defining moment in American history.

I have no doubt that Senator Obama will run the stronger race. The unprecedented enthusiasm Senator Obama has generated here in Idaho is unlike anything I have seen in the past 31 years of active political participation in this State. He has captured the imagination and mint fresh optimism of young voters from Couer d’Alene to Caldwell, from Murphy to Montpelier. I firmly believe that the critical process of rebuilding the Idaho Democratic Party will receive a once in a lifetime boost from Senator Obama’s candidacy.

Keith Roark is Chairman of the Idaho Democratic Party.

Please make some calls today to help build Obama's delegate lead and grow the movement.

So today 4 new SuperDelegates endorsed Obama who is now the persumptive nominee of the Democratic Party who will face McCain in the General.

Thnak you to all the Superdelegates today that have realize Senator Barack Obama is the Progressive Change America needs now.

Saturday 5/9/08 SuperDelegate News-
United States Congressman Harry Mitchell (D-AZ) endorsed Barack Obama for president today, citing Obama's work in the Senate to improve treatment of veterans and his ability to unite the country:

Senator Obama and I worked together last year to improve care for our soldiers and veterans in the wake of the scandal at Walter Reed, and I know that, as President, he will work hard for our men and women in uniform. Like the primary voters of my congressional district, which Senator Obama carried, I am inspired by Barack’s vision for America, his ability to unify our country and bring much-needed to change to Washington.In response to Congressman Mitchell's endorsement, Senator Obama said:

I am proud to have Congressman Mitchell’s support. He has continued to build on his lifelong service to Arizona’s families by fighting for more benefits for our veterans and military families and working for expanded educational opportunities for all of Arizona’s children. As a former teacher, he knows that each of our students deserves a world-class education, and when I am president we will make this a reality. I thank Congressman Mitchell for his support and will work with him in the months ahead to bring about real change for families in Arizona and across the country.Congressman Mitchell is the 275th superdelegate to endorse Obama.

Short of cash, Clinton is forced to cut spendingNo-frills events eyed ahead of next primaries as campaign debts growVideo   Fri., May. 9, 2008

The once-formidable fund-raising machine of Bill and Hillary Rodham Clinton has begun to sputter at the worst possible moment for Mrs. Clinton’s presidential campaign, Clinton advisers and donors said Thursday, with spending curtailed on political events and advertising as Mrs. Clinton seeks to compete in the last six nominating contests.

Mrs. Clinton’s diminished political momentum, following Tuesday’s loss in the North Carolina primary and her narrow victory in Indiana, appears to have had a dampening effect on her fund-raising, aides said, increasing the likelihood that Mrs. Clinton will lend her campaign more of her own money beyond the $11 million she has already provided.

Clinton advisers said Mrs. Clinton was committed to spending more of her own cash on the campaign if necessary, although they spoke optimistically about a rise in fund-raising if she prevails in Tuesday’s primary in West Virginia.

The campaign is clearly running low on cash, although advisers would not say how much money — or how little — Mrs. Clinton currently has. The campaign had started April with over $10 million in unpaid debts, and Mrs. Clinton was vastly outspent by Senator Barack Obama in North Carolina and Indiana.

Kennedy says no to joint ticketPosted: 12:20 PM ET Ted Kennedy endorsed Barack Obama last January.

(CNN) – Add Obama supporter Sen. Ted Kennedy to the list of joint-ticket naysayers.

In an interview airing this weekend, the Massachusetts senator told Bloomberg’s Al Hunt that despite widespread talk of a ticket featuring both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, "I don't think it's possible."

He added that “…I would hope that he would also give consideration to somebody that has — is in tune with his appeal for the nobler aspirations of the American people. And I think if we had real leadership — as we do with Barack Obama — in the number-two spot as well, it'd be enormously helpful.”

Kennedy also said that he had not spoken with former President Bill Clinton since endorsing Barack Obama.

Another superdelegate for Obama
Posted: 12:19 PM ET
(CNN) �" Barack Obama picked up another superdelegate Friday, narrowing Hillary Clinton's advantage to three.

Democratic National Committee Member Ed Espinoza formally endorsed Obama, saying he has "the character to lead our great nation."

“I am endorsing Barack Obama today because throughout this process I have seen him show a judgment and character that we need in our next president," he said in a statement released by the campaign. "From day one he opposed the Iraq war and has a plan to end the war in a responsible way and bring our sons and daughters home."

Espinoza is a former supporter of New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson's presidential bid.   Read More »

Who should Senator Barack Obama pick for Vice President?
I have a few favorites on my Vice Presidential list for Senator Obama .
1.)Senator John Edwards he is honest brings new ideas to the table and is a Progressive Democrat was against building new Nuclear Power Plants and just would make a great team if selected .
2.)Senator Barbara Boxer of california who had voted against the War resolution back on Oct 10th,2002 when Clinton voted for it .
She is also a good Senator and Progressive .
3.)Bill Richardson who had the courage to be independent when deciding who he would support for President over a longtime friendship with the Clintons.
He has alot of good ideas that he presented as a Presidential candidate and would make a good Vice Presidential choice as well.
I am sure my list will grow between now and our Democratic Convention in Denver.
So feel free to share your ideas for V.P for the second position on the Obama ticket .

Edwards: Tough for Clinton to 'make the math work'Posted: 12:35 PM ET John Edwards said the math isn't working in Clinton's favor.

(CNN) – John Edwards still isn’t backing a candidate in this year’s Democratic primary race – but it looks like he might be ready to pick a winner.

The former presidential candidate told interviewers on NBC and MSNBC that Barack Obama will probably top the Democratic ticket this fall.

Hillary Clinton has said that she can still win the nomination – but "it's very difficult to make the math work," said Edwards.

Which one of the remaining contenders is best-equipped to beat presumptive Republican nominee John McCain? Edwards tried to avoid picking between the two – then chose Obama, because he said the Illinois senator was the probable Democratic nominee.

He added that he worried the continuing campaign could take a toll on the party’s presidential chances. “I think it’s fine for Hillary to keep making the case for her,” said the former North Carolina senator. “But when that shifts to everything that is wrong with him, then we’re doing damage instead of being helpful.”

Edwards has been heavily wooed by both the Clinton and Obama campaigns since he ended his presidential run in January, but has not publicly endorsed either candidate.

It was "one of the most difficult decisions I have made," Payne said. "I've really been mulling it over for quite a while."

Obama's endorsements from superdelegates has picked sharply since Tuesday, when he soundly defeated Clinton in North Carolina's primary and held her to a narrow victory in Indiana

I am interested as a Democrat to see where your Political vote is now that Obama will be our Democatic Nominee.

Now I know their are 100's of members on here just reading the blogs who are Democrats.

What really interests me is how you will vote if Obama is our nominee in Denver which it appears he will be .

Simple quesion Do you support McCain or Obama ?

If you support McCain are you going to switch parties and become a Republican?
So these are my questions to all Democrats on the DNC site today?
