Joins Chelsea Clinton in Jackson

Jackson, MS - Mississippi for Hillary today announced the endorsement of former Governor of Mississippi William F. Winter. Governor Winter announced his endorsement to a crowd of over 150 supporters who had gathered for a meeting with Chelsea Clinton on Sunday in Jackson, Mississippi.

"Hillary doesn't need an introduction to Mississippi," said Governor Winter. "I couldn't think of anyone that I am prouder to be supporting than Hillary. I believe Hillary is our best opportunity to provide real leadership in Washington that is going to solve the mistakes made over the past eight years."

"I couldn't be prouder to have the support of my friend, Governor William F. Winter," said Senator Hillary Clinton. "Governor Winter is a dedicated public servant and leader in Mississippi. He is a champion of the best values of the Democratic party."

Governor William F. Winter served as governor of Mississippi from 1980-1984. Prior to that, he served as a member of the Mississippi House of Representatives and Tax Collector of the State of Mississippi as well as State Treasurer and Lieutenant Governor.

[hueyshort]

10. GREAT - He was a terrific governor

A breath of fresh air in the old south.
Haley Barbour is a Bush dildo who would endorse Obama for sure.

[nebula]

39. Thread title is deliberately misleading

Winter is a FORMER Governor, as in 25 years ago. LOL.

[pampango]

51. I'm sure the OP was just saving pixels by leaving out "former".

Purely an innocent oversight. ;)

[Spider Jerusalem]

54. Former governors are still entitled to the title as an honorific.

Just as former Presidents are still called 'President'.

2. Who in the fuck gives a shit.........

Recommendations are like assholes, everyone has one!

8. what a POTTY mouth!!

15. Obama isn't going to win as big as they'd hoped

MS dems are bright enough not to follow along after the yahoos.

33. For someone who thinks recs are worthless, you sure feel strongly about it.

Hillary Clinton in the McDonald's Land primary!

[TacticalPeek]

3. Bill Winter is one of the most progressive politicians in the South.

He is a board member of the National Advisory Board on Race Relations, and pioneered education reform when he was governor of Mississippi.

Some people don't know history and apparently aren't inhibited by their ignorance.

6. Really, we're actually supposed to know who was guv of MS

s5 years ago or we're ignorant of history? I bet anything you don't know who was guv of my state 25 years ago and there's no reason why you should. What a silly comment.

[rodeodance]

13. YOUR comments have been rather nasty today.

[cali]

17. there was nothing nasty about that post whatsoever and you have

no room whatsoever to talk with your endless little quips about how Obama supporters are brainwashed.

[rodeodance]

43. i saw it as nasty. bye

18. As they are every day

Obama's losing streak is taking its toll.

[TacticalPeek]

55. That would be Governor Moonbeam, having been reelected in 78 with my vote.

That would be Governor Moonbeam, having been reelected in 78 with my vote, cast from Oakland and for Ron Dellums, too, never imagining Jerry would be mayor there someday.

It's about knowing what goes on in your country, particularly with regards to progressives.

:patriot:

[Maddy McCall]

29. Good lord, I can't believe that William Winter is being attacked.

The guy is awesome. He took on progressive reforms in a very conservative state.

Mississippi was the FIRST STATE to mandate and pay for kindergarten education...this was Winter's program.

He is respected by all races here for his work in race relations.

That ANYONE would smear him is just unbelievable.

He's got more Democrat in his fingernail clippings than ANY DUer here bas in his whole body.

[bigtree]

35. .

[rodeodance]

44. Thanks Maddy and best wishes tomorrow--I will

say a prayer to the goddesses.

[Maddy McCall]

46. Thank you.

:hug:

[hueyshort]

36. little known fact

there are a lot of progressives in MS. And there always have been.

[anonymous171]

4. I wonder what she's been offering these Governors.

[John Q. Citizen]

12. Not much, this guy is out of office for 25 years. i bet it gives her a negative bump.

[not_too_L8]

[thevoiceofreason]

20. Not all Obama campers are negative

Congratulations to Sen. Clinton for the endorsement.

[rodeodance]

42. thankyou very much

[blm]

21. Government corruption needs SUNSHINE, too. Funny how you don't mind closed books as long as

it's the Clintons protecting BushInc with those closed books.

[John Q. Citizen]

16. The Clinton campaign is a joke. They are grasping at straws now.

[Maddy McCall]

27. He's the most respected former Mississippi Democratic Governor.

This is a huge endorsement for Hillary.

Winter is respected by ALL Democrats in Mississippi.

[goldcanyonaz]

31. He's the founder of the William Winter Institute for Racial Reconciliation. Nothing important.

Yep, nothing important at all.

[SeaLyons]

7. Excellent

:kick:

[Dinger]

9. That Is Good News!

Thanks for posting!

[Not the Only One]

14. Leadership?

"Hillary doesn't need an introduction to Mississippi," said Governor Winter. "I couldn't think of anyone that I am prouder to be supporting than Hillary. I believe Hillary is our best opportunity to provide real leadership in Washington that is going to solve the mistakes made over the past eight years."

What leadership has Hillary demonstrated? Why would she suddenly be a leader as President when she hasn't been a leader before now? No one follows her and she hasn't lead anyone to a place they didn't want to go to already. Obama has more leadership ability in his big toe than Hillary.

[scheming daemons]

19. He's not a superdelegate.... so who gives a f***?

[MonkeyFunk]

47. I know you're coming from a place of unity and hope

ass.

[Debi]

22. Yeah, the former Governor of Iowa also endorsed her...

well, AFTER he dropped out of the race and she helped pay off his campaign debt x(.

Worked pretty well for her here :shrug:

[GodlessBiker]

23. Is this that Winter guy?

[goldcanyonaz]

28. He's the founder of the William Winter Institute for Racial Reconciliation. Nothing important.

[anonymous171]

24. You mean FORMER govenor, right?

[Maddy McCall]

25. That is a HUGE endorsement. Winter is the most respected Democrat in the state.

HUGE endorsement in Mississippi for Hillary. I'm thrilled that Governor Winter did this! K/R

[writes3000]

26. delete

[writes3000]

30. Obama supporters please back the hell off. Congrats to Hillary supporters. n/t

[Maddy McCall]

32. Thanks.

[onenote]

34. exactly. Some of my fellow Obama supporters are making themselves look foolish here

I'm an Obama supporter and I'd be cheering if he had garnered Gov. WInter's endorsement -- as would every other Obama supporter that has posted on this thread, I'd bet. Denigrating the endorsement -- and implicitly or explicitly denigrating a great Democratic governor -- only makes some of the Obama supporters on this thread look foolish. If you don't know about Winter, try learning something about him before you post.

[Maddy McCall]

38. If Obama got Governor Winter's endorsement....

I'd think about changing which candidate I support.

That's how much this very progressive Democrat's opinion means to me.

Thank you for saying this, onenote.

[TacticalPeek]

56. Copy that.

Not saying I'd change, but I'd give it a thorough relook - no doubt.

I'm frankly amazed at the number of posters commenting from complete lack of knowledge. Some child's been left behind.

[CyberPieHole]

37. Good for Clinton and good for Governor William Winter...

That's a nice endorsement for Hillary!

Thanks for posting that.

:kick: and rec
