You know, I think you (and Carol and nisleib and others) are right. I was falling into the whole "Oh Noes! What will we ever do??!?" hand-wringing trap.
Inhale pink, exhale blue.

THAT is why I think they should have waited. Those are some pissed-off members there.

I don't think they owe Hillary a damned thing. Trust me, I'm happy that Obama can get the support of traditionally female-oriented organizations.
But NARAL should have realized that, in an election year that is this divisive, and knowing their members could feel very passionate about their chosen candidate for the nomination, there would have been a backlash. They could have waited until Hillary either concedes or the convention, and their members wouldn't have batted an eye at the endorsement. As it stands, they now have hundreds of messages from members who will not refuse to donate money, cancel their memberships, etc.

True, but as I mentioned to LuxVeritas, as long as Hillary is telling her supporters that the race is not over, the race is not over and the endorsement was premature, in their eyes. And NARAL should have been sensitive to that.

Oh, you and I and most Obama supporters agree that the race is over.
But as long as Hillary keeps on telling her supporters that it's not over, it's not over in their minds and NARAL should have been sensitive to that.

While I agree that the NARAL endorsement was a good get for Camp Obama, I do wish they would have waited until after the nomination was settled before they endorsed.
I don't blame their members or their affiliates for being miffed.
Of course, I believe that union and organizational endorsements should wait until the general, but I digress...

I think he could end up being a Superdelegate as either an add-on for NC or an add-on for the DNC.

Correct, but he could be a DNC or NC add-on.
