Sutton is a former labor attorney. Thanks, Betty!

1. She is keeping her SD lead in the 22-25 range.

I wonder how many she has left?

2. Makes up for the one who switched to Obama earlier today. nt

3. Ah, shit...and I like Betty Sutton.

Well, congrats to Clinton. Betty Sutton is a good Dem.

[Kittycat]

4. This isn't new - it's from this morning, and she went with her district.

[MercutioATC]

9. I was at work all morning.

Betty Sutton IS very sympathetic to labor issues. I have a couple of friends from work who help with her campaigns.

[OzarkDem]

11. So do I, glad she did it

For all the manufactured criticism Obama supporters make of Clinton on NAFTA, they need to acknowledge Clinton has very strong support from organized labor. Someone like Sutton would never pledge their support for Clinton if they had a problem with her record on trade issues.

13. Thanks for keeping it positive.

:hi:

[MercutioATC]

14. Hey, I have absolutely no problem with Clinton supporters...

...I only take issue with the flamebait posters...and that, on both sides.

There's nothing to present as negative here. Clinton picked up a good endorsement.

[Straight Shooter]

15. That's the nicest thing I've read on DU about Clinton supporters in a long time.

Here's to you: :toast:

[MercutioATC]

22. Back at ya.

I'm supporting Obama, and I admit my bias. However, trying to keep our wits about us and resisting the urge to make random disparaging posts about the opponent will make it easier for us to all get behind the nominee when this primary is over.

[Straight Shooter]

24. We've got our work cut out for us in the months ahead.

Best to save our energy for that. :)

Over and out.

5. Great

At the current pace...Obama will get the 34% he needs by Mid May

[NJSecularist]

6. I cannot blame her for going the way her district went.

To each their own. Betty did the right thing.

[Arrowhead2k1]

7. lol at people

jumping on board a sinking ship. :rofl:

[OzarkDem]

12. Betty's extremely smart

Her endorsement is not to be taken lightly.

[JackORoses]

8. this brings her back up to even since Feb. 5

she had been in the negatives

Obama has gained nearly 70 in that time.

[democrattotheend]

10. Cool, congrats

Saw that earlier.

[undeterred]

16. WOOOO BOOOY 1 to Obama's 10

:rofl:

[Dinger]

17. Good News. Thanks For Posting : )

K & R :)

18. endanger

Pls don't endanger her safety by posting her picture on this site, what with all the rabid Obomatons here.

[Qutzupalotl]

23. Here, have a bagel to go with that smear.

[hogwyld]

19. Congratulation Hillary

Nice pickup even if I would have preferred she went with the Big O. It's good she went with her district.

[Texas Hill Country]

20. woot

[TheDoorbellRang]

21. The super D's are on the move. That's five for Clinton and seven for Obama this week

Clinton now has 253 and Obama has 229, with 312 undeclared super delegates left.

It's about time they got off the fence.
