Barack Obama is supported by Clinton's backers by Beata Novomeska

Barack Obama is supported by Hillary Clinton's backers as she lost her nomination in a presidential primary process. They are disappointed by it, they think it wasn't fair, but they don't have another possibility as to support Barack Obama. They back him literally and figuratively. Few weeks ago some top Democrats were working against him, to deny his nomination, but now it is different. They want support him. The situation in pre-election battle is changing rapidly and so the attitudes to candidates on President. North Carolina Gov. Mike Easley changed the mind, too and says that he will be rather at the end of Obama supporters than in the front of backers with John McCain. Another Clinton's backers join to the side of Obama. Clinton's Missouri state director, Rep. Rachel Storch, introduced Obama at a St. Louis fundraiser. Two Democratic governors, Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland and Gov. Ed Rendell who were crucial Clinton's backers, will appear with Obama. Ted Strickland will greet him in Columbus and Gov. Ed Rendell will join to them. The governors lent their considerable prestige and organizations to Clinton so now Democratic operatives now worry about Obama's chances in the battle. Ohio was crucial to President Bush narrow victory in 2004 over John Kerry. Some of former backers of Clinton are disappointed that Clinton will not become the party's first female nominee and they think that Obama has a lot of work to do. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz told reporters that many women are disappointed by loss of Clinton, but they will vote Obama because he supports abortion rights, quick end to the Iraq war and other important issues to them. The president of EMILY's List, Ellen R. Malcolm admitted keen disappointment at Clinton's loss. The women who supported Clinton were sad and there was some anger, too. But now, they will elect Obama to change the direction of their country.
