"Politcal Machine's Tommy Christopher spoke to Clinton National Finance Committee co-chair John F.X. Graham. Graham said, "I haven't heard that at all, but after the Kennedy endorsement, I don't think this means much at all. Obama only won in Republican states, he can't carry California, New York, Massachusetts." Graham also alluded to Gore's 2004 endorsement of Dean. "Gore's endorsement, after he endorsed Howard Dean, doesn't impress me much." There's a bunch of BS. Obama will take California against McCain without breaking a sweat. I presume the same in the other big states. Looking at the map from Tues, O can take all of H's states except maybe Arkansas, while she won't take the ones he took, except maybe Conn.

But some local Republicans found themselves more impressed with Obama's message than concerned about his experience. George Kobitz of Covington, toting an "Obamacan" sign -- a contraction of "Obama Republican" -- lumped Clinton in with Bush as part of the old guard that has to go. "I've been a Republican all my life, and this Bush thing didn't go over very well. If it was just Clinton, I would stay a Republican and vote for (Arizona Sen. John) McCain, but Obama's about change," said Kobitz, who drove to Tulane before sunrise to catch the speech. "The Bush-Clinton era is over. We're sick of it." blog.nola.com
