April 2, 2008, 7:47 p.m.FTA:
The Illinois senator peeled off an affiliate of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, which has endorsed Clinton. The Philadelphia-based local of the National Union of Hospital and Health Care Employees has about 16,000 members.
Its president, Henry Nicholas, announced the endorsement while introducing Obama at a meeting of the Pennsylvania AFL-CIO.
All the people who thought Pa was a sure thing for Hillary may be wrong after all.

April 2, 2008, 7:58 p.m.I just wish it was over. It's poor sportsmanship for Hilary to drag this out.

April 2, 2008, 8:18 p.m.Also FTA:
"I did speak out and oppose NAFTA," she said. "I raised a big yellow flag and said, 'I don't think this will work.'"
Teamsters president James P. Hoffa, who is backing Obama, disputed her claim.
"No one who was around in the time of NAFTA remembers her doing that," Hoffa told The Associated Press during a telephone interview. "Let's face it, she's tied to NAFTA no matter what she says."
She is being called on her lies! I love this, i hate a liar.

April 2, 2008, 8:46 p.m.I don't understand why this love affair with PA and Hillary. I suspect it's for other reasons besides the union vote. After all, Bill Clinton's NAFTA push cost union jobs.

April 2, 2008, 10:38 p.m.Be interesting to see if Obama can overcome the combination of Hillary supporters and Republican sheep voting for Hillary because Limbaugh and others told them to.

April 3, 2008, 6:19 a.m.On a lighter note, for all you fans of Sci-Fi series like Stargate and BattleStar Galactica:
Honestly, who would you prefer to see flying the "Spaceship of State": - Colonel Maybourne/Senator Kinsey (McCain), the Go'auld System Lord Apophis (Obama) or hotshot pilot and brain-box Starbuck/Col. Samantha Carter?
GO HILLARY, GO!!!

April 3, 2008, 9:44 a.m.I have an Obama sign in my yard and window - that should
give me some credibility to issue a bit of a warning.
I would give you a link to the article - but it appears to
be avail. online only to subscribers, but this week's
The Nation's column by Alexander Cockburn (why - is it
pronounced "Co-burn"??)"Maybe One Cheer For Obama",
states that Obama campaigned against Ned Lamont(D) in
Connecticutt in 2006, and FOR Joe Lieberman(I). Cockburn
states that Lieberman was Obama's mentor.
The warning? Stay on Obama's case - make sure that he
is actually MORE for change than some of his remarks
and actions might indicate.

April 3, 2008, 10:20 a.m.Hillary is the consumate vindictive biotch. If she can't get the nomination, she'll do everything she can to discredit Obama so he won't either. It's just her nature.

April 3, 2008, 10:39 a.m.Has anyone noticed that according to the Obama plan, it would not be necessary to have a democratic MAJORITY in either the House or the Senate? Since he so easily reaches across the Isles. Those idiots like Pelosi don't seem to get the message that he views HER as part of the problem...same old, same old.
Watching Obama bowl brings to mind his contention that you don't need experience or talent, just the desire. I wonder if he told the Bowling Ball that it should just go down the middle of the alley BECAUSE IT CAN.
Want to know what happens if he wins...the economy will be in the gutter, like the ball.

April 3, 2008, 11:16 a.m.jwtx, would you call a male candidate who behaved in the way you claim H. has a vindictive b*tch?
NO, because he's a he?
So, would you then call him a vindictive b*stard?
Methinks not.....

April 3, 2008, 2:22 p.m.I read the link and of course you have to take it to the personal level. I am always open to facts and never locked into a single point of view. If he didn't know his views after twenty years of hearing many of the same points what does that say about him? I say that after watching and reading about the award Wright just received in Texas and the many associated interviews.
