FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) - Four former Kentucky governors are endorsing Hillary Rodham Clinton in the Democratic presidential primary.

The Clinton campaign announced the endorsements from John Y. Brown, Julian Carroll, Wendell Ford and Paul Patton.

Clinton says she is honored to have their support leading up to Tuesday's primary election in Kentucky.

The Democratic frontrunner, Illinois Senator Barack Obama, has been endorsed by Kentucky's two Democratic congressmen, Representatives Ben Chandler and John Yarmuth.

What is the reason WSAZ for not posting all the comments sent to you, especially when it is in no way offensive? Does AP tell you what you can and cannot post? Shame on you for not having a backbone for your readers. I think you will not post this one either.

Way to go WV., Hillary is the best candidate to be president. The popular vote does mean something. To 'very interesting' I checked to see what Fl VAMC was about and I do believe that man is at Huntington VAMC. This page of posted comments are very enlightning.

The comment about VAMC Broward County FL. is very revealing about what is going inside the VA system. Sen. Clinton would be happy to heard about this injustice being done to our veterans. Isn't that the work she does in the Senate?

WV voter, "popular vote?" Yeah right. Worked great for Gore didn't it?

If we don't elect Clinton we don't want to pant the white house black

Finially, some people with some brains....I wish we had more Representatives to back her.

It's good to see that Hillary is picking up more endorsements in these last few weeks of the primary elections. Even if Hillary can't snag the democratic nomination I still stand behind her 100%. It's time we elect a woman to the presidency.

It looks like Rockefeller and these other Senators are trying to set up a Shadow dancer with Obama as their player..
