Sen. Cantwell endorsed Sen. Clinton long before WA voted and before Sen. Obama took the lead. I am concerned about superdelegates overturning the will of the people, but I do not need them to say they endorse one candidate when they actually back the other. What Maria Cantwell has done is commit to voting for the winner of the pledged delegates (who everyone agrees will be Obama). I do not need her to pretend to back him--all I want her to do is support the will of the people. Thus I laud her stance.<BR/><BR/>Now it's possible that after seeing Obama in action that she actually DOES support him now, but just doesn't want to appear disloyal or a flip-flopper. <BR/><BR/>In either case, all that matters is her vote at the August convention. If she votes for the leader of the pledged delegates---Obama---that's all that should matter.<BR/><BR/>Consider this. Currently Clinton has 256 SDs. If tomorrow 146 of them joined the Cantwell club, Barack would lock up the nomination.eyesopenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10419000920988102273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759676821721103017.post-79804426021960983032008-04-24T15:21:00.000-04:002008-04-24T15:21:00.000-04:00Ms Cantwell needs to come back home and face the m...Ms Cantwell needs to come back home and face the music. She's up for re-election this term and she needs to explain herself publicly. As a registered Democrat, and an Obama supporter, I need to hear from her what her intentions are and why she insists on endorsing Ms Clinton.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13822426357506142968noreply@blogger.com
