Edited for clairity:

All I'm saying is that its a good thing to see the party START to get behind a candidate. Unity going into November is important.

14. I agree - this subject line does not help Obama.
Hillary has plenty of support from House members and Senators.

Obama started out behind Hillary and he is still behind in national polls.

Obama has momentum, but the Clintons have most of the party establishment in their corner.

Please let's look at the candidates and the issues. Not the endorsements.

6. We need to vote
I'm thrilled so many are supporting Obama, but we need to let people vote I think.

8. I don't know if this is such a good thing.
With change being the #1 thing this year, having a bunch of people that represent the status quo endorsing a candidate doesn't seem like such a good idea.

People want change, and we're going to get it by electing the candidate the status quo supports? I'll pass. Most of these people have been enabling the GOP for years anyway. What they want is most likely not going to put this country on a course for change.

If they wanted change, they could have done it. They've been able to for years - decades some of them. So where's the change? No opportunities?

Blah. :puke:

12. This past week showed them the future-
what this election was going to be like and how much Hillary would lose by if she and Bill are the candidates. Those Dems who have already endorsed her are pretty much stuck, but the uncommitted saw disaster ahead if these Clinton campaign tactics continued into the general election with a Billary nomination.

They see the writing on the wall.

16. Wouldn't it help to stay on an even keel and not build this stuff up?
So that if Obama should lose most of the states of super tuesday it won't come to such an emotional shock? I've learned one thing from the past 7 years - be happy and hopeful after the election, if the results afford a positive outcome, but not before.
