In this video, NARAL president Nancy Keenan explains the endorsement of Obama. One clue: Where she says we "can't wait one more day" to begin the campaign against McCain -- reflecting wider Dem concerns that the extended primary is giving McCain a free ride for too long.
She also has a HuffPost blog posting here.
But the NARAL blog page indicates that there's a fair amount of dissent -- 1790 comments are posted so far, and a lot of them negative: "I have never been so disgusted." "I am outraged." "I am insulted." "I am extremely disappointed."
One more: "What do you think you are saying to Senator Clinton? Is this your response to her life long work for women, mothers, children? Do you need to see her speech in Beijing?...I could go on pages, suffice it to say, women support women - you know that. I know you know that."

You are witnessing the destruction of the democ"rat"ic party.
McCaini is going to win in november, he is not "Bitter" and does not "misspeak" he wants to make america and the world a safer and better place to live.
Yes it getting ugly, and before it over it going to get a lot uglier.
NARAL SCAM....only ONE office of NARAL endorsed Obama...the one in Washington, DC! Other States are furious and are adding disclaimers to their web sites...to the effect that they do not endorse until nominations for each party are final!
The Washington, DC is NOT making it public what they have knowingly done...grossly inflate the endorsement!!!
One office is NOT 26!
Nancy Keenan and Elizabeth Shipp should be fired!
The CREDIBILITY of NARAL is totally jeopardized!
