Jean Carnahan Endorses Obama

More

----------
Let the low-class slamfest begin.

gives a shit about him.

I know that he was trying to push the 'race doesn't matter' idea...but did he have to point out that he got more than one letter attacking him on this? lol.

but it was hidden inside Steve Kraske's column.

as of today the only endorsement Clinton seems to have here is from the Kansas City Star.

Methinks Hillary is in for a bit of a shock when she comes back to the midwest!

He talks about the slanderous anti-Obama e-mails making the rounds and writes *Slimy doesn't begin to describe this mess.*

Good stuff! I think he will do really well in Missouri.

And Trust me , he won't
Missouri has been going Red for a few years, not that I'm happy about it, and in Missouri, HOME IF RUSH LIMBAUGH, even life long Democrats don't like obama.
McCaskill got in by the skin of her teeth and most likely won't be re-elected.
Carnahan was a 1 termer who rode in on her late ( and lamented ) husbands coat tails!

He's my Boss!
State Employees don't like him!

My family has been there for centuries, literally. He'll do fine in Missouri, the whole state isn't racist. Oh, and he's actually winning the rural vote in the rest of the country.

I'm here now, register people to vote EVERY DAY, and that is not what I see.
Also , better make sure Kansas City and Downtown St. Louis is ready to fight the good fight because it would not be the 1st time there have been problems!
Last time the state went Blue was for Clinton Right?

Is that what you're saying?

That's why McCaskill and Carnahan aren't endorsing them. They aren't what they have represented themselves to be.

My uncles, now in their late 70's and early 80s, were union Dems too. Truck drivers. They probably knew your grandpa at some point. :hi:

:-)

I Truly hope I'm wrong but we must be vigilant!
Especially int the Urban Areas , which are always Strong holds for us.

glad to hear it!

The dreamers are getting wrapped up in their emotions.

The Feb. 5th primaries where I think Obama will be very competitive: Georgia, Missouri, Illinois, California, Massachusetts, Alabama, Tennessee

I simply don't think Hillary can win in Missouri!

So it's smart for Obama to plant his flag in Missouri.

As a Missourian, I say kudos!!

Especially if McCain is the Repub nom. With Obama the nom ... once people get to know him ... he could take the entire Midwest. It saddens me to see that some voters believe just the opposite: that Obama can't win here but Hillary could.

in person. i'm sure he will come by sometime. i think he could win Missouri in the General election.

Or am I incorrect? Anybody know?

He's getting lots of support from women.

who don't want a woman president just because she's a woman. Gender schmender..I like the whole race.

would prefer a president with integrity. I like Hillary but am never certain she is telling the truth. We can do better with Barack.

therefore we can maybe say goodbye to winning any midwestern states in the GE.

I don't get it. Shouldn't we make our own decisions? Why should we listen to other people tell us how to vote?

If we can make up our own minds on who we want to support, why can't politicians?

their own candidate are saying and believe and propose, it is good to hear from people who have listened to them all to give us their opinions. It provides perspective in determining why we might vote for who we might vote for.

All current officeholders in touch with the needs of Missourians and who know a good candidate when they see one. Pretty courageous of them.

We are a swing state.The last time the candiate who carried Missouri didn't win the election was
In 1956.In 2000 we choose our deceased Governor for senaotr over the right wing Ashcroft.Mckassil In
2006 beat Talent by 3 percent(a bigger margain than Tester In Montana,and Webb In Virgina) and she
did It with huge turnout In St. Louis,and Kansas City and Improved showings In rural areas.The fact
of Mckassil,and the Carnahans endorsing Obama should tell that In states Bush won Democrats like
Obama more than Hillary.Look against Mccain It would be tough here but Obama would be a better choice.We have a tough Governor's race here.And to allow Jay Nixon to throw Blunt out of the Governor's mansion we need someone who can excite Democrats.Hillary Isn't It.And remember Jean
Carnahen only lost to Talent In 2002 by 1 percent,and this was a big year for Republicans,and the media was selling Talent as more excepernced than her.
