Senators Murray, Feinstein, Mikulski, Cantwell, Stabenow and Mikulski all support Clinton

[ruggerson]

In other words, every Democratic woman senator except for Claire McCaskill.
(Boxer, Lincoln and Landrieu remain uncommitted).

Patty Murray just endorsed her today.

[BeyondGeography]

1. Obama has two female governors

plus his grandmother still loves him.

[Kittycat]

3. And so do I :)

[avaistheone1]

2. Almost without exception those are some of our most conservative female senators.

Interesting...

[ruggerson]

4. These are our ONLY female senators

[avaistheone1]

19. No, those are not are ONLY female senators

Besides Barbara Boxer, we also have Mary Landrieu, Blanche Lincoln and Claire McCaskill.

[ruggerson]

21. Yep you're right

Lincoln remains uncommited too. Of those that have endorsed, they've all endorsed Clinton except for McCaskill.

[jlake]

5. Wonderful. Love these lovely ladies & I hope Boxer gets on board.

I can live without McCaskshill.

[LordJFT]

8. she's pledged to support whoever wins cali's primary

[jlake]

14. Yep, and next Wed she'll be onboard the Hillary victory train... CHOO CHOO!

[avaistheone1]

20. I wonder how Boxer feels about potentially supporting HIllary given Hillary's brother

owes Barabara Boxers' daughter over $150,000 in alimony and child support payments.

[Zueda]

6. I wonder what their links to Giustra are?

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

7. Cantwell doesn't surprise me. Patty does.

Patty will probably still get my vote when she runs again. Clinton and Cantwell can forget it.

[Diane R]

23. I agree with you. They are my senators, and Maria is Republicn lite. But Murray doesn't make sense

[tishaLA]

9. Has Mary Landrieu committed?

I love that DiFi endorsed Hillary. Insert your own jokes.

[ruggerson]

11. I don't think she has yet

I'll edit

[Hippo_Tron]

17. Mary Landrieu's in a tough re-election battle in a state that is now very very red

She's best off associating with the top of the ticket as little as possible.

[featherman]

10. Good lineup for sure (except Feinstein... yuchh)

[ruggerson]

13. Yeah, Feinstein's nothing to crow about

except she remains extraordinarily popular in CA for some reason

[tishaLA]

15. and she has a HELL of a ground operation

every election I get like 5 calls from her organization.

[Thrill]

12. Boxer is the important one

[pathansen]

16. Here is a list of more endorsements - over 100 of them

22. I know that Clinton held a fundraiser in 2001 to help Maria Cantwell retire her campaign debts.

I live in Washington State. Cantwell was counting on her income from her Real Network (I think that was the name) stock. It crashed with the dot.com crash, and she was left with a lot of campaign debt. Within a month of arriving in Washington D.C., Clinton held a fundraising party at her home to help raise money to pay off the debt.

I'm wondering how many other women senators (or men senators, too), were helped with fundraisers hosted by Clinton? How many of these endorsements are simply paying her back?

24. Clintons come calling: Time to repay favors

http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/connelly/349446_joel31.html

Hillary and Bill Clinton are calling in 15 years' worth of political IOUs and asking old friends for help as they try to head off Illinois Sen. Barack Obama in Washington's Feb. 9 Democratic precinct caucuses.

----

The Clintons have done favors for which they can call in chits.

Cantwell, who endorsed Hillary Clinton early this month, has cited the Clintons' help in retiring her 2000 campaign debt. Bill Clinton raised $330,000 in a Seattle visit. Hillary Clinton opened her Embassy Row mansion in Washington, D.C., for a Cantwell fundraiser.

Hillary Clinton did a 1998 fundraiser for House candidate Jay Inslee at Dale Chihuly's glass sculpture studio. Bill Clinton wrote the foreword to Inslee's recent book "Apollo's Fire."

25. Amy Klobuchar is uncommitted, too, I believe.
