The Obama campaign shouted from the rooftops this week the endorsement of two former Democratic National Chairs: Paul Kirk and Joe Andrew. Well, they can stop gloating; their two DNC chairs don't amount to much compared to the list of those who support Hillary Clinton.
CNN’s Political Ticker posted this afternoon news that seven former Democratic National Committee chairs who support Hillary Clinton’s presidential bid, and the family of one who is deceased, released a letter Friday arguing that she is the candidate best-equipped to beat John McCain in November.
CNN reports: “The letter was signed by former party leaders Kenneth Curtis, Charles Manatt, Debra DeLee, Don Fowler, Steve Grossman, Pennsylvania Governor Edward Rendell, and Clinton adviser Terry McAuliffe. It was also signed by the family of the late Ron Brown, who served in the Clinton administration.”
As quoted by CNN, the former DNC chairs wrote:
“if the election were held today, Hillary would beat Senator McCain, but Senator Obama would lose to the presumptive GOP nominee.
“Hillary has run one of the most formidable campaigns in the history of our Party,” the chairs wrote, listing Clinton’s primary season victories. “Her base of support includes women, Hispanics, seniors, Catholics, middle and low income Americans, and rural, suburban and urban voters. That’s a formidable coalition tailor-made for victory in a November general election.
“…We encourage you to continue to fully consider Hillary Clinton and the fact that she is qualified and accomplished. Too much is at stake for us not to consider deeply the choice we must make for our Party and our country.”
