Major Clinton fundraiser switches to Obama: "I am First a Democrat"

[Boz]

"We're just bleeding each other out," Guerra-Mondragon told the Washington Post. "Looking at it as coldly as I can, I just don't see how Senator Clinton can overcome Senator Obama with delegates and popular votes. I want this fight to be over, the quicker the better."

He added that leaving the Clinton campaign for Obama's "was a very, very difficult decision for me to make. I am an old and longtime friend of Senator Clinton. And I continue to think she is a fantastic and formidable person. But I am first of all a Democrat."

4. There are plenty posting around here that have forgotten that they

are members of the democratic party.

Maybe they should form their own party. They think they have all the votes they need.

5. "We're just bleeding each other out"

That's a good way of putting it.

6. the hillworlders will ignore this the way they ignore all indications

that hill is sinking. SDs endorsing Obama in far greater numbers, behind by every metric, and even old friends of the Clintons recognizing she's done. And imagine how much inside info this guy can share with the Obama campaign. Great news.

9. Mr. Guerra-Mondragon better have someone else start his car for him for a while...

18. He's dead to them

No doubt rumors have already begun to be spread about him.

[TheDonkey]

22. Wow, real courage and leadership. The rest of Hillary's supporters could learn something

from this REAL democrat.

[Alii]

23. The flood gates are opening...

what began as a trickle is leading up to Niagara Falls size proportions.

[KaptBunnyPants]

25. Is that too much to ask for?

It's fine to like Hillary more. But when you start working hand in hand with the right to spread racism, fear, and hate just because you believe that it serves your political interest, you have become the enemy. Fair is fair; Obama has earned the right to bring his case before the American people with the full support of the Democratic Party.
