Clinton Wins West VA, Obama Wins Something Else

Posted by Katie Halper

Hillary Clinton won the vote in West Virginia, but Barack Obama won a pretty important endorsement. And it's top secret. Luckily, Scanner Katie has her connections and spills her beans below the jump.

This is top secret info. But I'm really close to Nancy Keenan, the head of NARAL: Pro-Choice America. And because we're so close, Nanc (as I call her)  sent me a personal e-mail explaining why NARAL is endorsing Obama. Below is the top secret personal e-mail.

Dear katie,

I'm excited to announce that today, NARAL Pro-Choice America PAC is endorsing Sen. Barack Obama for president!

We have been so fortunate to have two fully pro-choice candidates running for the Democratic nomination, and we praised both Sen. Clinton and Sen. Obama for their leadership in standing up for women's reproductive rights. But only one candidate can advance to the general election.

NARAL Pro-Choice America PAC is making our endorsement now because every day that passes, Sen. McCain gets a free ride on the issue of choice. That free ride ends today.

Too many voters think that McCain is a moderate. Can someone who's voted anti-choice 125 times out of 130 opportunities on abortion and other reproductive-rights issues be a moderate?

It's time to put that myth to rest. To win in November, NARAL Pro-Choice America will educate swing voters who can tip this election: Republican and Indepdendent women. And we cannot let one more day go by without comparing Sen. Obama's fully pro-choice record to Sen. McCain's anti-choice record.

On one hand, we have Sen. Obama—who has been a fully pro-choice ally from day one and whom women can trust.

And on the other hand, we have Sen. John McCain—who has gone even further than George W. Bush in his anti-choice rhetoric by directly calling for the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade.

I believe that Sen. Obama is the leader who can unify our country behind commonsense ways to prevent unintended pregnancy.

We need you to be a part of our work to defeat Sen. McCain and elect Sen. Obama.

  • Send an ecard to your friends to educate them about Sen. Obama's record on choice.
  • Make a donation to our work to elect Sen. Obama, other pro-choice candidates, and protect choice at all levels.
  • Share your thoughts by visting Blog for Choice and posting a comment.

Thank you for your support and I look forward to working with you for a pro-choice White House in 2008!

Nancy Keenan

I feel so betrayed. I'm never speaking to Nancy again. In fact, I'm no longer pro-choice.
