Gelber to make his Obama campaign debut

Looks like Barack Obama's campaign is noting the endorsement from unsanctioned superdelegate Dan Gelber, the House Democratic Leader. Though Gelber announced his support of Obama Wednesday, the campaign had released nary a peep about the key backing. (Perhaps because Florida officially doesn't count in the nominating contest despite Hillary Clinton's quest to see that happen)

But Gelber Saturday will headline the campaign's Miami kickoff of a six-month voter registration drive that aims to register more new voters "than at any point in American history."

Gelber will lead the charge at 10 a.m. Saturday at the American Legion, 6445 NE 7th Ave. in Miami.

Obama's Florida finance chair, Kirk Wagar, says Gelber "is one of the most important voices in Florida today for working families, the environment and common sense government....His leadership throughout this state will be crucial to turning Florida blue in November."

The campaign has more than a dozen voter registration events in Florida. The list is available at my.barackobama.com.

Jews that turn their back to Israel...pathetic!

Saturday during the holiday, yeah who is really Jewish here....not Gelber or Wexler...

SELL OUTS

[Mark]

Don't they know that no jews will be there to convince they are wrong about a man who was endorsed by Hamas because it is a holiday.

You all are going to loose the biggest voting blocks; Jews, Women, Senior and hmmm Democrats

Maybe Wexler, Aronberg & Gelber
should actually I don't know understand the Jewish community before they start pushing someone that Israel does not support!

In The Israel Factor, Haaretz newspaper's ongoing US election pundit panel that is asked to assess who is "good for Israel," Obama regularly receives the lowest scores. The politically diverse pundit panel prefers US Sen. Hillary Clinton to Obama, and US Sen. John McCain to either Democrat.

Whoever is the Anti-Obama poster on this site should realize that when you post three times in four minutes, it is obvious you are one person.

Nice try.

Thanks for the leadership, Dan Gelber.

What leadership....not for the Jewish People

This Gelber goof is going to be in the Senate?
Yes Tallahassee is getting better I think not.
If Gelber and Aronberg are for Obama because they have an election...oh yeah because of Wexler. Mr. I think I can ignore all the rules, pretend I am the messiah, fight for the paper trail but not the vote on it and pretend I am going to impeach Cheney so I can get emails for my re-election campaign just in case the Obama endorsement back fires...hmmmm.

I understand why people change from Democrat to Independent...I will follow

[Marcy]

Doesn't anyone question that Obama can not be leader since he does not even stand up for the voters during a campaign or the people of Israel or even African Americans because they know Mr. Wright is wrong ( and so is Obama )

Sorry the Howard Dean, Wexler and Crist are to blame ( since there was a deal made) WATCH

The crazies seem extra crazy today.

Me, I blame the Republicans for the cutbacks that are denying these posters proper treatment and medication.
