women's advocate, Betsy Myers (endorsed,07)

Eric Holder , former second-in-command US, Justice Department (endorsed, '07)

Former Democratic National Committee Chairman Joe Andrew

Robert Reich , former labor secretary

2. Robert Reich is the most important name on the list
He has been on the radio quite a bit recently criticizing Bushnomics. I wonder if he wants his old job back?

3. Hillary was entirely motivated to avenge her very public betrayal by her husband.
Edited on Mon May-12-08 10:07 PM by stellanoir
which she never really processed.

That is the root of her acrimony and continual disingenuousness.

I've been a counselor for nearly 3 decades.

It's obvious to me.

When one initiates a campaign on over compensation for a negative. The same will follow.

She's picked lousy advisors and had horrible financial management skills.

4. So this is supposed to be "bad news" about Obama? ...that he has won over a bunch of Hillary people?
So let me get this straight. You think that it's "bad for Obama" that he's turned some influential Democratic heads and gotten them thinking and excited about actually creating some genuine good news for America? Did I get that right?

5. Not what I got out of it...
Hillary supporters are always bringing up how great things were in the 90's, I think the OP is trying to show that many of the people who were in POP then are now supporting Obama...it's a good thing...

*disclaimer: due to pain medication, my outrage meter is set pretty damn low right now so I could be wrong :)

9. I believe you are correct, after re-reading it. Thanks for pointing that out.
I guess I was thrown off by the "nostalgic" and "ungrateful Judases" remarks, so thanks for letting me know.

I'm just so grateful all this "in-fighting" is about to be done away with. GObama!!
