More effort from the Barack Obama campaign to cushion the impact of Tuesday's Pennsylvania loss:
A few minutes after making new endorser Oklahoma Gov. Brad Henry available to the media, the campaign announced "the endorsement of 49 prominent supporters of John Edwards."
Edwards, the former North Carolina senator and 2004 Democratic vice presidential nominee, has not endorsed anyone. But one of the next two big primaries is in North Carolina May 6, so Obama trotted out a roster of backers that included Ed Turlington, Edwards’ former National General Chairman, as well as members of Congress and the former state Supreme Court chief justice.
.“John Edwards has dedicated his life and career to fighting poverty in America. Barack Obama demonstrated that same commitment when he turned down a high-paying job on Wall Street to work in Chicago communities decimated by steel mill closings,” said Louise Coggins, a social worker from Wilmington who has known John and Elizabeth Edwards for 30 years.
supedelegates make the right choice and pick hillary clinton. she has more brains and balls than obama will ever have. also, why is it that more than 90% of blacks are voting for obama. this is nothing but a race thing for black people. black people feel it is their turn to be in the white house via obama, and that is not fair to clinton. by the why i'm a black person with black friends who tell me this. it is not fair for them to vote for obama just because he is black. it makes no sense at all to me. this country is not ready for a black man as president based on black people voting for the black man just because of his race. one day we will pick a black person and it will be because he was the right person for the job as president. if obama wins it is because of the color of his skin.

I am truly suprised that most people cant distinguish between race and capability. To ask a simple question what is the population of blacks in America. Lets say if only the blacks choosed to vote for Obama he will still be a distance away. Obama has a rare display of character, will power, intelligence that all americans admire. they are merely politicking, but if they must not lie and tell the truth, Obama stands out.

Hillary Clinton can not steal her way nomination into a contest where she clearly and virtually has no chance of winning-without fracturing and wounding our party. This is not Zimbabwe and we really fade-up with political dynasties in America today!
