The ex-President of Chicago NOW, Lorna Brett Howard, tells why she switched from supporting Hillary Clinton to supporting Barack Obama. My favorite line: “Not only is he 100 percent pro-choice, he’s 100 percent honest.”

Here in Missouri, Barack Obama has picked up endorsements from the two biggest Democratic women politicians in the state — Sen. Claire McCaskill and now ex-Sen. Jean Carnahan. Typically, as Missouri goes so does the nation, so winning this state will be huge.

I think these endorsements along with ads like the one below (which is now playing here), can help Obama do well with women voters, a key demographic in his battle with Hillary Clinton. Also, from what I can tell, people aren’t very fond of Hillary in this state. Maybe in a few parts of Kansas City and St. Louis, but that’s about it.
