"I think that is [Obama's] strength," McGovern told The Huffington Post. "He has very broad appeal. He certainly is going to galvanize the black vote. But he has strong appeal to voters of all kinds. Some of the old buckaroos out here in South Dakota are for him."

Later he acknowledges Obama will be the nominee.

McGovern is an early and still vocal Hillary Clinton for President supporter, but she probably wishes he'd be quiet now.

I love your sig

So cynical!

Or maybe they're actually concerned about poisoning the well?  That's what Clinton supporter George McGovern seems to fear, for example.

Either way, it's another SuperD for Senator Barack Obama.  Onward!

For sure.

God knows the Clintons never gave out political favors for votes and support.

Seriously though,  I'm sure you'll run off to find me some evidence that they are being paid off instead of actually wanting to support Senator Obama.

I bet they will get nothing for their "concern".  The Daley political machine and Axelrod already have their people set up.

There's going to be alot of using and abusing.

Obama should have BEEN making a connection with Hispanics, not just because some honcho fundraiser defects to his side.

That is not going to signal anything but disloyalty to the Hispanic community.  And trust me, that doesn't play well in a community that depends on family and honor.

Another former FOC (Friends of the Clintons) who will be ass-out come November.  Hillary, if you are reading this, don't invite ANY of these jerks to your inauguration.

That quote says it all.  "...Obama is ready to start making a bigger effort to court Hispanics."

He's been running for President for 15 months and just NOW wishes to 'start making a bigger effort' for our vote?  Sorry... you didn't think you needed us before, now that you do need us we'll just roll over for you?

It doesn't work that way, we will not turn away from Hillary who wanted to stand up for us from the beginning.  

And the lesson of Pennsylvania is that regardless of how much money is raised and spend, even with the prowess of Guerra-Mondragon, that the candidate with the plan, the fight and the stature will wins.

1000 papercuts

Personally, I don't care.  Hillary seems to be raising money pretty nicely right now.

When Hillary gets the nomination and wins the Presidency, I hope she never returns the phone calls for any of these cowards who were smiling in her face and stabbing her in the back.

Well, buh-bye!  Don't beg Hillary for a job when you are out of one pretty soon.

I agree, she knows the consequences and this won't surprise her.  But I think all she's got now is to increase the focus on the "Obama can't win" idea, which for obvious reasons seems not to be gaining traction.  So it will get uglier before there's any relief, unfortunately.

Obama's scoring some major points today among delegates with his joint DNC fundraising announcement.  If Senator Clinton can't follow up with something entirely similar, and also ratchets up her "unelectability" rhetoric, I think we'll see enough SDs commit to Obama that we won't have to hold our breath until June.

Oh I forgot.......AA's are NOT one of the most loyal Democratic constituencies.

Ambassador Guerra-Mondragon while he was still supporting Hillary Clinton?  Was he part of "the AA and wine and cheese crowd" at that point, or is membership defined by support for our next President, Senator Barack Obama?

about Clinton dropping out? Most everybody wants her to run until the last ballot is cast. It's a free country, she's perfectly within her rights to do that.

She can do whatever she wants....I think the point is most undecided SD's and some prominent members of both campaigns will not tolerate a "win at all cost" mentality that would damage their party's ultimate goal of getting a Democrat into the White House, IMO.

His donor network is probably already maxed out.
