itsmeeeeeee

yes, the guy who answered the phone said they'd been getting harassed all day.

evidently, the clinton supporters have a new strategy - harrassment of supers who've endorsed obama.

andrews is really ripping the clintons right now on cnn.
and the interview suggests that andrews has had ENOUGH of the clinton machine ATTACKING super delegates!

i'm going to transcribe it:

"i'm announcing my support for barack obama for president today and changing from senator clinton to senator obama and calling not only on my fellow hoosiers to unite behind senator obama but on all former and current super delegates as well."

i think over and over again he's showed the mettle to not only be a great candidate, and more importantly, a great president. you know you can BE for someone without being against someone and what i'm trying to make sure that people feel comfortable with is that you don't have to criticize one of these candidates to truly find the the other one is inspirational. that the other one rises above the normal politics of the day and is truly can bring people into this process and involved people in a way that is different than others could do."

when asked if he called the clintons:

"i think that's the OLD political theater, here, where i'm supposed to CALL and ask for permission or beg for forgiveness. we all know what both of them would say and i'm sure they're GOING to say it. what they'll do is take the exact same things the republicans said about me when i was defending bill clinton and use it against me. old political theater and old politics. i'm not calling barack obama, and i'm NOT calling hillary clinton, i'm going to DO what I think is right!"


have you made the determination that hillary can't win this?
(question paraphrased)

"not in the least, there's no calculation here - the fact of the matter here is neither one of them can win the nomination without the support of the super delegates, at this point, and so neither one of them really differ because of that. i think that the mistake of the party was to create super delegates, which i think was crazy, even tho i happen to be one of them - and over the past week in particular we've seen how senator obama handled the jeremiah wright controversy and this gas tax controversy now, you can just see how's he's willing to do what's RIGHT for the country, not what is right for him politically. "

would you have made the switch if obama had not disavowed rev wright?

"it's MORE than the disavow.

it's the WAY in which he handled it, and the way in which he's handled the gas controversy. it's EASY politics to say we ought to get rid of the federal excised tax on gas, it's HARD politics to say "no!" that's bad policy, it may put a little money in your pocket today and that's great politics when people are hurting all over the country, today. but i can't wake up in the morning and look at my kids in the eye and say that for the price of HALF a tank of gas i'm going to give up on having a TRUE energy policy in this country. ...just to PANDER to grab a couple of votes i'm going to give up on doing what we all KNOW is the right thing to do over the long run."

i think after tuesday, it's time for the super delegates to come out and decide. the fact is neither one of the candidates now can win the nomination without the super delegates and the polls demonstrate that john mccain, without doing much of ANYTHING is competitive against BOTH of them.

the lengthly primary process is no longer helping democrats. it's helping republicans. it's time to bring this process to an end and to unify the party behind a candidate and get to the business of trying to make america a better place."

WOW!!!!
