Hillary Wins Key Keystone Super-D
March 18, 2008 8:06 PM
Breaking news!
The Tribune-Democrat reports that Rep. Jack Murtha, D-Pa., a key Keystone Stater, is backing the former first lady.
Perhaps a sign of her assured victory in that state.
“I’ve known Sen. Clinton for 15 years,” Murtha said in a statement released by his campaign committee. “I know that she continually reaches out for opinions and ideas, not just from our nation’s leaders, but from all Americans.”
Murtha is also a superdelegate.
"You've got a friend in Pennsylvania," indeed.

I think it is disgusting what senator obama and his minister have said against the white people in america. They should both be ashamed of themselves. I live in niagara falls, ontario, canada. If I was a american I would vote for hillary clinton all the time she is wonderful and her and her husband are loved by all canadians including me. Go Hillary Go. Love Sheelagh

Why do so many think it's okay to refer to Hillary Clinton as "that old girl" and "witch" and other sexist epithets?
Debate is fine. Name calling and hate speech is not. Referencing a person's gender (or race, or age, for that matter) in a demeaning way is not. This is the case regardless of how one wishes to vote or who one wishes to campaign for.

Another reason to not vote for Sen. Clinton.
Rep Murtha dishonored his honorable Marine service with his condemnation of the Haditha Marines before charges or trial and his comments about the lost war on Iraq.

Obama is a hypocrite. I supported John Edwards but when it became clear he could not win I wholeheartedly supported Hillary. I have made many calls for her and if you truly support her you should do the same. We cannot let our country be run by someone full of hatred towards one race. Obama claims to be the candidate for "Change" in our country. What kind of change does he have in mind?

I find it interesting that libs push for the support of corrupt politicaina and slandorous ones at that, Murtha is a coward, he lied about our troops by calling them cold blooded murderers. oh by the way he is one of the highest earmarkers in congress.
Both Obama and Hilary and the rest of the libs are frauds!!
Posted by: spock | Mar 19, 2008 10:18:45 AM
The earmark king and queen!
Bill and Hillary: Eight years of promises to buy the Whitehouse.
3AM phone calls: " I owe you what?"
Probably, the Saudis calling.
BTW, she'll forget about the average American voter.
Money matters.
That is why Bill and Hillary are RICH.

Great news for Hillary Clinton!! This is a HUGE endorsement and one that Obama fought hard to get. Awesome!!

Sen. Obama didn't address anything or any of the issues against him in regards to Racism, Bigotry and Unpatriotism. One thing we all know now that we don't know then is that Sen. Obama has been receiving spiritual advise from a racist, bigoted and unpatriotic pastor Mr. Wright. Sen. Obama explained that Mr. Wright had played a major role on what he has become today. No wonder he never showed patriotism to his flag, continued to lie to the American people. He has no right to be a Senator and least a Presidential candidate? WAKE UP AMERICAN! GOD BLESS AMERICANS!

People have given Barack Obama at least "points for presentation" trying to get out of his pastor political mess.
Barack Obama may have unintentionally reduced race relation between Blacks and Whites, to the comparison between his white Grandmother "racial or ethnic stereotypes", and his pastor extremist views.
The grandmother fears compared to the Pastor extremist views, is like comparing apples to oranges.
The pastor appears to exploit all the suffering by African Americans for his own agenda of race division and anti-USA, instead of preaching reconciliation.
For the "racial or ethnic stereotypes" of Obama Grandmother, she does not deserve such comparison to the extremist views of his pastor.
Considering his pastor was member of the presidential campaign and "like a family member", Barack Obama should write letters of apology for those offended by his "uncle", specially the families of the innocent victims of the 9/11 attack.

There are millions of military service veterans who have nothing but contempt for John Murtha! He is the former Marine who faked decorations he never earned in places he never served and it took the FBI to confront him on the farce with possible criminal prosecution. An endorsement from him is the same as Obama being endorsed by another phony anti-American Marine hero, Rev. Wright. Support from either of them is something most people would not want on a resume'. Obama is trying to wriggle out of his relationship and, if Hillary had any brains, she would openly reject any association with Murtha.
I don't consider most politicians very bright but Hillary and Obama are dropping to the level of just plain stupid in their attempts to scrounge votes from any possible source. Makes me proud to be a republican.

Yes Marie but I wouldnt worry about time. None of the SD votes are actually cast until the convention in August. Endorsements are not binding.

Raise your hand - who doesn't think gender is an issue?? This is Women's History Month?? ANobne see anything
about it ----- ANYWHERE???? Nope. THe press is too busy trying to help Obama and McCain cover their tracks.
McCain can't even get the facts in Iraq straight - when he IS IN IRAQ!!!! Now there is competence for you. LOL!! If either of these two were women, we wouldn't be having this debate because they would not be in the position they are in. So don't talk to me anymore about race -
ALL women have to be better at everything to be considered equal to men. And that is also a fact!
