Montana SUPERDELEGATE Jean Lemire Dahlman declares for Obama.

[Ellipsis]

Says she doesn't think Clinton can 'unite us'

Jean Lemire Dahlman, a rancher and National Democratic committeewoman from Forsyth, Montana has just told RAW STORY that she will give Sen. Obama her superdelegate vote.

“When you’re in college and you read Plato’s Philosopher King, you think, yeah, that’s what I want in a leader; someone who can lead and unite us and I’m not sure Hillary can," Dahlman said. "She’s smart. She’s capable, but I don’t think she can unite us and that’s why I’m giving Barack Obama my superdelegate vote."

9. If you knew Forsyth, Montana like I know Forsyth, Montana....

:rofl: at idea of mansion dwelling African American millionaires there

Forsyth, Montana is a GREAT little town in a lovely setting, but it is a tad short on, um, diversity. Your satire is greatly appreciated by those of us who know the town :thumbsup:

I even hear pro-Obama chatter where I live, and it's not nearly as worldly and diverse here as Forsyth, Montana is.

6. !!!!!Miami Beach Superdelegate Gelber Backs Obama!!!!!!!!!!

In the Democratic presidential race, neither Senators Clinton nor Obama can secure the nomination without the support of the roughly 800 superdelegates, with over 100 who have not yet committed to either candidate; Florida House Minority Leader Dan Gelber is one of them but he is no longer undecided and has committed to Senator Barack Obama.

Even though Hillary Clinton told West Virginians she's going nowhere until all the votes are in, the roar of political pundits is filling the airwaves.

Gelber announced his decision on his blog late Wednesday afternoon, and spoke with CBS4's Michael Williams.

23. Full Story's up-- more

Snip...

Dahlman lives on a sprawling ranch outside the rural town of Forsyth in a village called Rosebud. Tucked away in the southeastern part of Montana near the Wyoming border and the Yellowstone River, Rosebud is not far from where Lt. Col. George Armstrong Custer camped before his ultimate defeat at the Battle of Little Bighorn in 1876. Dahlman is predicting a similar defeat for Sen. Clinton should she stay in the race by the time Montana Democrats vote in the last primary of the season June 3.

"There's no 'white working voter' problem for Barack here," Dahlman continued. "Yesterday, I was at the post office and I asked a retired welder - a union guy - if he was going to Billings tomorrow to see Bill and he said he didn't think he should since he's going to vote for Barack. And another guy - a young electrician - told me that he's supporting Barack and working hard for him. The people I see on the street are all white and they have no problem voting for a man whose father is black. It's what he stands for - he's authentic, he isn't pandering and he's telling us the truth - that's why people here are voting for him and that's why he'll win Montana."

There are 8 Montana superdelegates. Three have already endorsed Obama and Ms. Dahlman's vote brings his total to four. None has yet endorsed Sen. Clinton.

"I care about health care insurance, the economy, and the war in Iraq and I also want a person who is unafraid to go against the grain, even when it's unpopular," Dahlman added. "I don't give a dime about gas roll-back plan. It's not going to do us any good in the long run and when Obama came out against that - that's what I'm looking for. Nonsense issues like the gas roll-back or wearing an American flag pin on your lapel. He keeps tells the people the truth."
