He said the supporters are worse than the candidates when it comes to vindictive attacks.

"The bitterness and anger they have toward people who are not supporting their candidate is something I have never seen before," he said.

Morgan has been writing his own blog on the race, so at first he decided to remain neutral. He said Obama fans in particular were incensed with him for doing so. His tires were slashed and a complaint was lodged with the Internet service provider for his blog. Morgan is now supporting Clinton.

The Pittsburgh Tribune Review endorsed Hillary Clinton. The endorsement itself is no surprise, except that the owner and publisher of the paper is Richard Mellon Scaife, the billionaire heir to the Mellon fortune whom Clinton once accused of masterminding the "vast right-wing conspiracy" against her and her husband.

Apparently all of that is now water under the bridge. No hard feelings at all.
