I have noticed this when the NV union backed him people on here were up in arms about it and now move-on has supported him and once again its a problem.if Hillary gets an endorsement it becomes a GOOD MOVE.

6. No, it's an endorsement by MoveOn.org
http://moveon.org/press/pr/obamaendorsementrelease.html

"The group, with 3.2 million members nationwide and over 1.7 million members in Super Tuesday states, will immediately begin to mobilize on behalf of Senator Obama."

7. Very limited polling done. I didn't vote and quit because of that endorsement.

2. Do you donate to the oppositions candidate?
Do you want your money going to the benefit of the competition?

4. the race has tightened. Obama's support is rising at exactly the right moment
Edited on Fri Feb-01-08 08:27 PM by cryingshame
Hillary's support was always a mile wide and and inch deep. Supporters here are getting agitated. Its' the nature of GDP, anyway.

And to a lesser extent, Trolls

As for Move-On specifically?

Many think they shouldn't have endorsed anyone. And a significant number of those people may or may not have objected if it had been Hillary.

BAD DU ! .....

I especially love the term 'people on here', since it clearly defines exactly how many 'people on here' the speaker is referring to ....

8. You must have missed all the people who trashed Kerry and Ted Kennedy and unsubbed
from their emails and wrote them nasty letters when they endorsed Obama. Goes FAR beyond NV and MoveOn.

9. Racism? Is that what you're getting at?
I wouldn't be surprised if that's what you mean. Every criticism of Obama=racism.
