Paul Kirk, Ex-DNC Chair And Superdelegate, To Endorse Obama

huffingtonpost.com — ABC's the note says Obama will roll out the endorsement of another DNC ex-chair today. Speaking of math -- the Obama campaign rolls out another former DNC chairman's endorsement on Friday: Paul Kirk, a superdelegate who led the party from 1985-1989, is coming out for Obama -- a day after Andrew's switch, an Obama campaign official tells The Note.

  • Hieronymus1, on 05/02/2008, -5/+11There was a time six months ago when I was convinced the Dems couldn't lose the '08 election, no matter what. Now, if they want to save their party's chances, it's time for the superdelegates to step up and tell HRC in no uncertain terms that it's time to pack it in. NOW, not later!!
  • ambiguus, on 05/02/2008, -3/+9Let's hope this is not a repeat of 2000 where the popular vote is discounted, and another candidate gets chosen. Obama has the lead, and barring any major slip up, he's going to keep it. If there are more SDs who've made up their mind but haven't endorsed yet, they need to come out now. It's sad that the latest polls are starting to show the Dem's numbers have dropped below McCain, and there's no doubt that its a direct consequence of how the nomination has played out between Obama and Clinton. This needs to end, and soon. Andrews, Kirk...anyone else?
    • ZHEStorm, on 05/02/2008, -1/+1Just a sec there... Obama is not leading in the popular vote. Hillary has been voted for over 133,000+ times more than Obama. Just the facts!
      • gsxrjason, on 05/02/2008, -1/+2Sure, if you exclude caucus votes and count Florida and count Michigan and don't count any of the uncommitted vote when Obama wasn't on the ballot. Give me a break, you must work for the Clinton camp to believe that.
        • ZHEStorm, on 05/03/2008, -0/+1Sorry sir, I only deal in facts. The facts show that during this nomination process, if you count the number of votes from each state, Hillary Clinton has more votes than ANY OTHER candidate. Just the facts!

          BTW, the caucus is the most undemocratic way of voting. A tiny window (time wise) that only a few people can make it to, then bus in hundreds of supporters to strong arm other people into leaving is not democratic. The caucus system is dated and should be sent out to the cow pasture with the other *****! There is no caucus system in the general election. That will mean an automatic LOSS for Obama. Mark my words, Obama will lose the general election if he is the nominee.
  • 0Zeitgeist0, on 05/02/2008, -1/+7Lets get them all out NOW.. But if the superdelegates overturn the will of the people; this will only proof that there is no difference between the Dems and the Reps stealing the election in 2000.
  • rogerdonaldson, on 05/02/2008, -2/+5I think the Supers coming out one at a time, day after day, is a masterful strategy. This effectively counters the vile throw-***** machine of the Clintons; it will have to share the headlines with yet another Obama endorsement, then another, then another...
    • michael532111, on 05/02/2008, -1/+2Excellent observation!
    • ZHEStorm, on 05/02/2008, -1/+2And in other news... Obama has picked up 12 super's this week, while Hillary has picked up 8. Gee, I bet you won't find that little tidbit on Digg. Guess what, not EVERYONE is for Obama. There are still plenty picking her... not to mention, Obama is DOWN in every poll out there right now while Hillary is on the UP and UP!

      Hillary 2008!!

      BTW, this article is OLD NEWS. Kirk has been an Obama supporter since at least February. This article is nothing but Obama campaign SPIN SPIN SPIN because he is sucking big time in the national light! Obama will cause the Dems to LOSE in November.
  • bluegal, on 05/02/2008, -1/+4The good news for Clinton is that her Christmas Card list for December keeps getting shorter and shorter.
  • kprooney, on 05/02/2008, -1/+3and how much longer till the election?

    (checks watch)

    6 months till I can back to dorky tech news, aww man
  • ZHEStorm, on 05/02/2008, -3/+1This is NOT new news! He endorsed him back in February. Obama camp is putting some major spin on this because he is down in every poll in the country right now and he is spinning everything for all he is worth (typical politician).

    Here's the proof!

    • hinchb, on 05/02/2008, -1/+3of course the polls are down some the news media won't shut the ***** up about his pastor and people gobble that ***** up
  • riotboy, on 05/03/2008, -2/+0Hillary has the support of SEVEN former DNC chairs.

    And I agree that Obama coming out with this now is not news, it's been known for quite some time.
  • OffPiste, on 05/03/2008, -7/+2Barrack HUSSEIN Obama. Think about it.

    Does America want to go back to the stone-age concerning women's rights?

    I for one don't want sharia law in the US to become a reality.

    Reject Islam and reject Islam's candidate.

    Vote Clinton.
  • fontoon, on 05/03/2008, -3/+1Why are democrats such losers?
  • poopdigger, on 05/03/2008, -0/+1Once you go Barack, you never come back
