Oregon legislators are all-Obama

Last Update: 2:47 pm

Obama in Portland (Rich Shibley) PORTLAND – A group of Oregon politicians stood on the capitol steps in Salem Wednesday morning to endorse their candidate for president.

The group of legislators and elected officials gave their endorsement for the senator they want to see in the White House and it was an all-Obama crowd.

Five state senators and 19 state representatives, along with the state superintendent of schools and state treasurer pledged their votes to Barack Obama.

Independent senator Avel Gordly announced she would change her party affiliation and become a registered democrat after meeting Obama at a campaign rally.

“He said to me, I need the help of independent like yourself, and I told him then, he could count on my support. And, let me tell you why: Barack Obama is a unifier,” Gordly said.

About 26 folks in all!

[tekisui]

1. That's Great!

[tridim]

2. Every day it's becoming more and more "over"

[tekisui]

4. Will it even reach PA???

[tridim]

31. PA will vote (as will all remaining states), but I think Hillary will fizzle before then.

She has no money and her negatives are still on the rise. The trend lines are solid and unwavering.

[BuyingThyme]

3. Why don't you guys ever post the Hillary endorsements?

[gateley]

8. If only there were some to post.... nt

[BuyingThyme]

18. Oh, yeah.

[Basement Beat]

70. LMAO !!

That exchange was too much for me...

[GarbagemanLB]

9. What are you talking about? We covered Scaife's endorsement already.

[InfiniteNether]

62. LOL that was a good comeback

[shadowknows69]

10. Go ahead

What's stopping you?

[tekisui]

11. I posted every Superdelegate Hillary endorsement for the past two weeks.

Here they are again:





















:-)

[shadowknows69]

25. You're so bad

In an awesome kind of way.

[JayFredMuggs]

12. You have some to offer up today?

NO?

Then it's a no-news day for Hillary, isn't it?

[tekisui]

15. I just realized, Hillary has not gotten one SD, since Richardson

Judased her.

[Cha]

23. Darn that Gov Bill Richardson!

[movonne]

19. Why don't you!!!

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

22. Because we don't give a shit about Hillary.

:shrug:

[Cha]

26. Well, there ya go. n/t

[Raine]

40. If you have some

post them :-)

[gal]

46. Doesn't the people that support Hillary post them here?

[Barrymores Ghost]

84. Please. Subject and verb must agree.

"Don't the people," not "Doesn't."

Uh-oh...what have I just done? I must be an annoying, condescending Rachel Maddow-loving elitist.

Sorry, just kidding...I'm actually referring to a post from earlier (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=3098829&mesg_id=3098829) that called Maddow all those things...probably because she leans toward Obama (as do I).

[Perky]

90. Boo Yah on the eefus pitch....lol

[Zhade]

93. What? Her endorsement of McLame's been posted all over the place!

:evilgrin:

[gateley]

5. Excellent! Any national coverage, do you know?

Kind of dramatic -- when they make the endorsement en masse. REALLY makes a statement.

[thevoiceofreason]

28. Like they did in Indiana

I haven't seen this picked up yet - but I bet it will.

[quakerboy]

55. Not that I know of

I live here, and this is the first Ive heard of it.

[JayFredMuggs]

6. Oh dear, more Obama supporters

This must be a "cult" when people with credibility go for Obama.

That's just not right, they should all be blindly supporting Hillary, because she is "ENTITLED" to it, because she married a man who is a former President.

Yeah, that's logical, right?? NO!

[Cha]

30. Pretty soon it's going to be

One Big Giant United States of America Cult.

Our Mission Statement begins.."We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union,.."

[Zhade]

94. I guess they don't like the idea of endorsing a proven pathological liar like clinton.

Good!

[GarbagemanLB]

7. I live in Oregon. It is going for Obama.

[here_is_to_hope]

20. Obama is def taking Oregon!!! n/t

[quakerboy]

56. can anyone tell me

why our Gov has endorsed Hillary?

[Mme. Defarge]

72. My guess?

His wife.

[quakerboy]

75. I just got off my arse

metaphorically. He endorsed in early December. That explains it, I think. Perhaps he, like so many others who jumped the gun, are in the tough process of rethinking their endorsements of "inevitability". Gotta be a hard thing to draw back and change that initial call, though.

[movonne]

27. I live in a kinda red neck area (slowly changing) and the dems here

are Obama people...

[featherman]

49. My former and dearly loved state is a stone cold lock for Obama

Go Ducks!!!

[roguevalley]

51. I saw the pictures when he was at the convention center in my hometown

of Central Point. GO, OREGON! I love Oregon. They are always on the edge of the future, showing the way.

RV, remembering the bottle bill for instance. boy, was that a hard sell. "TREE HUGGERS!"

[eridani]

53. Beavers!! Beavers!! Beavers!! Beavers!! n/t

[thevoiceofreason]

58. I miss the badger video!

[40ozDonkey]

13. !!!

[flor de jasmim]

14. Are any of them SD's?

[thevoiceofreason]

17. I don't think so.

But a whole bunch o state senators and representatives

[JayFredMuggs]

Guess someone needs to do some research on that... but...

Do you see any OR Super dels going for Clinton now?

[sandnsea]

37. *sigh* our governor did

:shrug:

I don't know what the hell he was thinking.

[joshcryer]

45. He looked beyond the BS politics and recognized her policies were superior?

Obama is just a notch above Bush lite with his anti-tax anti-mandate anti-subsidy rhetoric.

[jettison]

64. Obama is "Bush lite"

Hillary supporter offers...

- pointless ad hominem comparing Obama, the most liberal candidate that ran this year, to Bush. check. Go ahead and call me when the shuttle lands.

[Zhade]

95. You're kidding, right? Nothing superior about being a proven pathological liar.

NT!

[grantcart]

54. no

[eagertolearn]

85. No SD's in the bunch according to the you tube i saw on here this morning

It is great when experienced elected officials come out and let us know because it reinforces what we already know..he has what it takes to be president. But please lets stop stomping on HC and her supporters because she is also a great candidate and has fought hard. You guys/gals are adding salt to the wound and that is not necessary.

[depakid]

16. At least he knows how to pronounce the name of the state!

[Cha]

21. SWEET! Hoping the SuperDees are taking

note how many Indies are coming over into our :kick: :party: :bounce: :patriot: because of a certain Senator from Illinois who is the lead presidential candidate.

[Arugula Latte]

24. I was driving by a commercial strip in Beaverton (right next to Portland)

and I noticed a hand-letter "Obama for America" sign with an arrow pointing the direction. I walked into the office and it was already hopping. They hadn't officially opened, and already people like me were swamping them for bumper stickers, volunteer sign-up, etc.

The Northwest is solidly Obama country.

[Parche]

33. Beaverton

We are across from Beaverton Libree tonight protesting!!!
:woohoo: :hi:

[Arugula Latte]

47. Excellent!

I'm taking my kid to baseball practice ... Have a great time! :hi: :woohoo:

[swishyfeet]

50. You're one of those protesters?

I'll give my usual beep!

:hi:

[Mme. Defarge]

77. Starting to see Obama yard signs

in Northeast Portland.

[H2O Man]

29. Great!

Good news -- nominated!

[ClayZ]

32. Thats our neighbor! Wooo Hooo Oregon!

K and R

[Adelante]

34. Wonderful news

Thank you :)

[TTUBatfan2008]

35. 26...

So how many of them were superdelegates?

[thevoiceofreason]

36. None. But these are the folks with ground games.

[99th_Monkey]

38. Oregon Yaaa! Home of Bush's "Little Beirut" hearts Obama

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/966872/posts

[Yael]

39. Sweet!!

[NC_Nurse]

41. Wonderful!

Thanks for the good news! :)

[Raine]

42. TERRIFIC!!!

:bounce:

[Zachstar]

43. Today has been amazing!!!

Today Obama has had so much going towards the future of this nomination that I think the voters will respond perhaps even with a win.

Today in my view dramatically reduced Clinton's chances of winning the nomination by swaying the supers to overturn the pledged. Her chances of winning all the way to the white house are now so low it is silly. And as long as Obama keeps steady progress for this month. Clinton will get far below minimum votes and delegates needed to stop reducing her chances even further.

Steady progress everyone!

[Ysabel]

44. that's great... :)

[Scurrilous]

48. K & R

:thumbsup:

[thevoiceofreason]

52. Back for the evening stone cold kick for discussion

Is there any way Barack cannot win Oregon by 10 points?

[quakerboy]

57. Of course there is

however, given that I do not know a single Hillary supporter in this state, I am not really sure what it is.

[eagertolearn]

87. I know one HC supporter and she is in her 80's and I respect her support

[sonias]

59. Awesome

Barack Obama is a unifier!

:woohoo:


Sonia

[snooper2]

60. BAM!

GOBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

[ORDem]

61. K&R!

:kick: and :hi: from the Beaver State!

[thevoiceofreason]

69. What a great picture!

[Ron Green]

81. Ah, the Sisters! n/t

[eagertolearn]

88. Hey I've camped at the top of the south sister before. Great Picture!

[Emillereid]

63. Are any of these folks superdelagates?

[SoonerPride]

65. I think they all are.

Really

[Emillereid]

66. WOW!!!

[SoonerPride]

73. I stand corrected. Dang

Wish they were.

[thevoiceofreason]

68. None are

[parkeradison]

67. Regarding Oregon

Oregon will be a landslide for Obama.

[thewiseguy]

71. BAM!!!

[texshelters]

74. But Oregon is a small state and doesn't count

Who really pays attention to Oregon anyway. They are just state legislators.

Former President Clinton endorses Senator Clinton. That's a MUCH bigger endosement. So do many Republicans who want to extend the Democratic primaries.

Down with Oregon, up with New York and California. You know, only Clinton will win those Democratic strongholds. Obama could never win in New York and California!

Tex Shelters

[eagertolearn]

92. Actually, I have lots of family in Ca. and they now say that if the primary

were held again today that Obama would win.

[Arugula Latte]

96. I was in the Bay Area in late March and

I was impressed with the show of strength for Obama. Just walking around San Francisco (my old hometown), I saw lots of people wearing Obama buttons...No sign of Hillary support...

[cseper]

76. Obama want us to unite

“He said to me, I need the help of independent like yourself, and I told him then, he could count on my support. And, let me tell you why: Barack Obama is a unifier,” Gordly said.>>


Obama want us to unite, if we would tell the truth, his brand of unity has divided the Democratic Party, so much that, McCain is now favored to win the Presidency! Four more years of Bush's policy, How sad!

[eagertolearn]

89. I don't see that at all. He is more of a uniter than anyone since JFK and RK

Look at all the people he has coming to all of his rallies and how many small donors he has to his campaign. People feel like they can be part of the democratic process for the first time probably in their life time. In comparison to our current dictators he is a fantastic unifier!

[Zhade]

97. Yeah, clinton's proven pathological lying has NOTHING to do with the divide.

Wake the fuck up already!

[Vinca]

78. Great news!! nt

[NDambi]

79. Hly Sht...great news

[FightingIrish]

80. Obama in Oregon is phenomenal

We had a death in the family that brought our family together last weekend from all over Oregon. Sad as it was, we were all amazed to find that almost unanimously we had all come to the same conclusion on our own. Barack Obama must be our next president. When Obama came to town, he filled the venue with thousands not able to get in. Online tickets were gone in twenty minutes. A week later Bill Clinton comes to town and can't fill a room with 3,000 seats. His "audience" included 500 empty seats.

[mcollier]

83. The Movement Is Real

The Country is standing with Obama. He is uniting people for the common cause of good and growth for America. He is the leader America has been waiting for.

Thank God for Barack Obama and thank God for the American People.

[NeedleCast]

82. Silly Oregon

Now you won't count

[FedoraLV]

86. Wow /nt

[RiverStone]

91. Fantastic - the NW voters are big for Obama!!!!

I live in Washington and the voters here went for Obama 68-32%.

Great news from Oregon; thanks for shraing.
