Former Dem Party Chairs Pen Pro-Clinton Letter

By Dan Balz

Stung by the defection of a former chairman of the Democratic Party, Hillary Clinton's campaign struck back Friday with a letter from a group of former party chairs arguing that she has a better chance to defeat John McCain than does Barack Obama and urging superdelegates to support her.

...

The letter came hours after the Obama campaign announced that another former DNC chair, Paul G. Kirk Jr., had endorsed the Illinois senator. Kirk's support, however, has been public since February and he was included on the Associated Press list of committed superdelegates.

The new letter pointed to Clinton's victories in some of the nation's biggest states as evidence of her broad appeal and said she has demonstrated the kind of support critical to winning a general election.

"Her base of support includes women, Hispanics, seniors, Catholics, middle and low income Americans, and rural, suburban and urban voters," the former party leaders said. "That's a formidable coalition tailor-made for victory in a November general election."

The signatories, all previously announced Clinton supporters, were: Pennsylvania Gov. Edward Rendell, Clinton campaign chairman Terry McAuliffe, Don Fowler, Kenneth Curtis, Charles Manatt, Debra DeLee, Steven Grossman and the family of the late Ron Brown.
