Ellen endorses Hillary

Among daytime talk show hosts, it's Obama 1, Clinton 2.

The letters thread is now closed.

I am sad that I know this, but ...

The ladies of The View, save Elisabeth, of course, voted for Hillary in the NY primary. Whoopi, Joy, and Sherri were on the fence and said so on the show (apparently -- I didn't see this episode). Sometime after the primary, they all discussed that the same afternoon of discussing their ambivalence, they all got calls from Chelsea Clinton. They all then voted for Hillary and said so on their show. I think that counts as an endorsement, useless, pointless, immaterial, or otherwise.

So Hillary wins something. Good for her.

Somebody give her a cookie.

@Rose

Nice analysis. What about Claire McCaskill, Senator from Missouri, who also endorsed Obama. No harsh words for a member of the sisterhood ? Your misandry is showing.

Actually, as I see it

The score is "Who gives a rat's ass what talk show hosts think".

Endorsorama!

I can't wait to see who Paris Hilton and Lindsey Lohan endorse. I bet they go for Hillary! Hooray pretty people for Hillary! Hooray Pretty!

I'm also sure that stupid Britney Spears will endorse Obama. Boooooooo Britney. Booooooo Obama.

I also like jellybeans. I wonder who jellybeans will endorse.

Ellen endorses Hillary

I am glad to hear another woman step up to the plate and publicly endorse Hillary. I have seen every loser from Tom Daschle, John Kerry and Ted Kennedy and oh yes Dodd endorse Obama. I call them losers because Daschle couldn't save his own Senate Minority Leader seat. Kerry was so lame when swift-boated he folded rather then defend his military service. (No Spine) and Kennedy has no loyalties to his so called friends. Dodd? He was a presidential loser who moved to Iowa and stayed in a lose lose campaign. He couldn't figure out why his campaign never got off the ground. Now they surround Obama who at the very least, doesn't even have experience in the US Senate, yet these losers contributed to the break down of the Clinton campaign. Now they fight? Pick your battles boy's and remember when you re-election comes around, I wouldn't count on Bill Clinton anytime soon for support. Most of those hanging on Obama had help from the Clintons. Again, no loyalty.

So, I say go Ellen for stepping up to the plate. Mark my words, Obama will have Oprah and the quad squad out in OH and TX to knock Hillary off. Dirty politics tells me we are in a dangerous place.

But I heard that Ellen's Girlfriend Portia de Rossi Is for Obama Girl...

and Steadman's for Hillary (he likes strong women!), Elizabitch from The View is voting for the Huckatollah, and Rachael Ray and Emeril like Obama, and Dr. Phil's voting for Dubya (he's been so busy chasing Britney that he's not up on the latest candidate options).

Oh, and I hear Jerry Springer's going for Ralph Nader.

Got to love those talk show hosts...I take all my political cues from them!!

Okay

But whom did Iggy the puppy endorse?

Wednesday, February 27, 2008 08:38 AM

Yeah but...

...Obama was endorsed by Farrakan.

So there Ellen.

You can stop writing stupid things. We won. Lets encourage a little civil losing with a little civil winning. Besides that is not totally correct.

Privileged white women

Privileged, entitlement-mentality, upper middle class white women = Hillary

Everyone else

= Obama
