Dear Stephen,
We have been through a lot in this past year and your friendship and support have meant so much to me. That is why I wanted to let you know of my decision to endorse a Democratic candidate for President - and that I have decided to support Barack Obama.
We all understand how much is at stake in this election and that it is more important than ever that we put a Democrat in the White House.
And while both of our Party's remaining candidates are extremely talented and would make excellent commanders-in-chief, I am throwing my support to the candidate who I believe will open the most eyes to our shared Democratic vision.
I'm deeply proud to be the first 2008 Democratic presidential candidate to endorse Barack Obama. He is ready to be President. And I am ready to support him - to work with him and for him and help elect him our 44th President.
Put simply, I believe Barack Obama is uniquely qualified to help us face this housing crisis, create good jobs, strengthen America's families in this 21st century global economy, unite the world against terrorism and end the war in Iraq - and perhaps most importantly, call the American people to shared service and sacrifice. In this campaign, he has drawn millions of voters into politics for the first time in their lives and shown us that we are united by so much more than that which divides us.
That is why I believe the time has come for Democrats to come together as a Party and focus on winning the general election. The stakes are too high not to.
The last seven years have been as difficult as any I can remember. More than ever, we need a President who will inspire us to take part in the political process and change our country's path.
Today, when we need it most, we are hearing a new call from Barack Obama. And I hope you, like me, will answer it in the affirmative.
Please get involved in Barack Obama's campaign now: http://action.barackobama.com/doddsupporters
Sincerely,
Chris Dodd

It really does look like it now.
I may be very wrong to write this but I'm glad. I see about a much human compassion from her as a cold dead fish in the grocery store and just about everything I ever heard her say is blatantly focus group tested. I would probably have a heart attack if I ever heard her say something that came off the top of her head.
TPM has a great writeup on what is wrong with her campaign and everyone knows that Josh Marshall has been a Clinton supporter from the get-go, though he has tried to be impartial in his posts.
For myself? I don't really have a dog in this fight, but I have never beena Clinton fan.
