1. YAY!!! Madame President!

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

2. Great, that makes it... what...

negative four since Super Tuesday?

[my3boyz]

5. hahaha..you are so bad. LOL nt

[Ron Green]

28. Yeah, but she'll make it up on volume.

:P

[BlueIdaho]

3. I wonder how much that cost? nt.

[PBS Poll-435]

4. Yes!

Thank you Mayor!

6. "It's been very difficult for me to sit on the sidelines and fail to support a woman,"

Enough said...

[Madam Mossfern]

9. That's a disappointing statement

Gender should have nothing to do with it.

[mopinko]

13. it's all she has going for here, afaict

the ONLY people that i know who support her are voting for the "first woman". i think she would have long since had to go home is she were running to be the 4th woman president.

[thewiseguy]

15. She should not be a superdelegate

[Abacus]

17. Oops, you beat me! /nt

[Gidney N Cloyd]

20. At least she's not going to hell with all the misogynists,

:sarcasm:

[TahitiNut]

27. Crotch-sniffing politics ... not very intelligent.

Politics and crotch-sniffing don't mix.


Not that I haven't enjoyed either at one time or another. :silly:

[GoldieAZ49]

29. Identity politics is not very intelligent

be it gender or race based.

7. That's three today. Congratulations Hillary!

In addition to the pickup of former Pittsburgh Mayor Sophie Masloff in the OP, Hillary's campaign announced it has also picked up the support of CA Rep. Jackie Speier, who recently won the special election for the late Tom Lantos's seat, and the president of the Ohio state AFL-CIO, Bill Burga, a DNC member.

[Jane Austin]

11. Jackie Speier?

Speier previously endorsed Clinton but told the San Mateo County Times on April 5, 2008 that she will wait until after the primaries are over to decide whom she will vote for as a superdelegate. Quote: "Even more surprising, Speier said that despite her endorsement of Clinton, she would decide whom to vote for after the primary, leaving open the possibility that she'd go for Obama. She declined to say which candidate would get her vote, but her silence itself was revealing." Put her down as uncommitted.

22. Speier became a superdelgate with her election win on Tuesday 4/8/2008

Clinton picks up a superdelegate

Her special election win Tuesday also means Speier will be seated as a Democratic superdelegate, giving her a say in the presidential nominating contest between Sens. Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton. Speier told The Associated Press she is a Clinton supporter.

8. So does she have a net gain of zero now since Super Tuesday?

Here's a link to DU'er anigbrowls's thread from 2 days ago.

10. I believe it's -2 but could be wrong.

Zero seems wishful thinking. ;)

[TheWraith]

14. I think it's still negative four. She lost one today too.

A Clinton SD jumped from committed to uncommitted.

[SoCalDem]

25. and another endorsement

[indimuse]

12. yeah!!

Go Hillary!

[Abacus]

16. /nt

[GarbagemanLB]

18. I wonder if Condi or Laura Bush runs, will the SD support them? They are women, after all.

[SeaLyons]

19. Excellent!!!

Go Hillary!!!!

:kick:

[globalvillage]

21. That's odd

Mayor Masloff endorsed Sen. Clinton, then she switched to uncommitted, and now she's endorsing her again?

It's a good endorsement. I was hoping she'd go Obama.

[Beacool]

23. Thank you mayor Masloff!!!!!!

Your support is much appreciated!!!!!!

:thumbsup:

[scheming daemons]

24. Sophie is old and senile... and the worst mayor in our city's history.... and that's saying a LOT!

...

Nice old lady.... but not "all there" anymore.


She became mayor in 1985 when our beloved mayor at the time, Richard Caliguiri, died. She was the head of city council at the time.


She's right in the cross-hairs of Hillary's remaining base.... over-80, white, and female.

[GarbagemanLB]

26. She just wants to see a female in the WH in her lifetime. Couldn't care less about who is more

progressive.
