DENVER -- Sen. Hillary Clinton delegate and former Superintendent of Public Instruction Carolyn Warner issued a plea to her fellow Clinton backers to rally behind Sen. Barack Obama Wednesday at the Democratic National Convention.

In a statement circulated among the Arizona contingent at the DNC, Warner, a strong backer of Clinton's during the primaries, wrote:

"I hear women -- Democratic women -- who, as I did, poured their heart and soul into Hillary Clinton's Presidential campaign saying, 'You know, since Hillary didn't get the nomination...since Hillary was treated unfairly by the media...since I'm mad about how it all turned out...I'm either not going to vote or I'm going to vote for John McCain.'

"And I say... 'One of us must be crazy!'"

For Warner, upholding the rights of women to get abortions was central to her argument in favor of supporting Sen. Obama. She wrote that if Democratic women voted for Arizona Sen. John McCain, it would make them "personally complicit in the reversal of Roe v. Wade," because of the next president's likely appointment of several Supreme Court justices.

"If you supported Hillary when she was running for President then for Heaven's sake support her now! Honor her request and follow her example and work as long and hard and as enthusiastically for Barack Obama as you did for Hillary Clinton!"
