Knetzer was also quoted in a related article: "As sitting president, Knetzer said, she will remain uncommitted until after all primaries have been completed in June. Then she'll support whichever candidate most of the federation membership backs. "I'm getting letters from both sides," she said.

From Larry Gates, of Topeka, chairman of the Kansas Democratic Party: "I will stay neutral until at least through the May 17 state party convention. I might reconsider my neutrality after that time. I'm very proud that Sen. Obama and Sen. Clinton are the last two standing and certainly could support either one of them. But if it comes down to making a choice, I have to look at electability and who I think can help us win the day in the November election." From Helen Knetzer, of Wichita, chairwoman of the National Federation of Democratic Women: "At this time I do not intend to make my preference known. I intend to look at what and how the candidate brings people together to work on our country's problems and how he or she plans to let the world know that our country believes in justice and equality for all regardless of sex, race or wealth."
