Response: Obama nabs Clinton fan


It didn't take long for the Obama campaign to do their own response to Sen. Hillary Clinton's http://video1.washingtontimes.com/bellantoni/2007/12/ive_switched_to_hillary_1.html"> press release touting she had wooed one of his Iowa supporters.

Two hours after the Clinton camp made their announcement, the Sen. Barack Obama's campaign sent out this release:

DES MOINES –- Senator Barack Obama’s presidential campaign today announced that United States Army veteran Kent Sovern, who was announced just last week as the statewide Co-Chair of Senator Clinton’s Veterans Committee, has now decided to caucus for Senator Obama and is encouraging other Iowa veterans to caucus for Obama on Thursday, January 3rd. Sovern also serves on the Iowa Democratic Party Veterans Caucus and is a combat veteran of the Vietnam War.

“I believe Senator Obama has the judgment and courage to stand up for America’s veterans and find a responsible way to get our combat troops out of Iraq,” said Sovern of Des Moines. “We can trust him to tell us the truth on the tough issues –- even when it’s not convenient. That’s why I’ll be standing for him on Thursday, January 3rd and encouraging veterans across Iowa to do the same.”

9. Gotta love loyalty

but I do love that so many bamadroids come and go, back and forth. Edwards this week, Hillary next.

They just can't seem to make up their minds in any permanent kind of way.

15. What a sweet thing to say about Obama supporters...

I dont get involved in all of the pre primary garbage and you know why?
Because of supporters of candidates such as yourself.
The HRC supporters have completely turned me off to any message she may have. If you and others like you must insist on the snark and the put downs and the bullshit, why in hell would I support any candidate with supporters so full of themselves?
I will be so glad when this season is over as my ignore list really needs a break.

Just fucking yuck.

17. I too am sick of Hillary's

campaign of incessant blatant negativity.
