WHY I WILL BE DOING A WRITE IN VOTE FOR SENATOR HILLARY CLINTON FOR PRESIDENT IN THE NOVEMBER 2008 ELECTION FOR PRESIDENT OF THE U.S. OF AMERICA FOR THE PEOPLE AND BY THE PEOPLE!

Today I had another call from the Obama Campaign and I am a Clinton Supporter and proud of the fact. This has been going on since October 2007 at least once a month an individual calls from the campaign and begs for money from myself, a person who lives on Social Security Disability a very fixed income of meager status under $800.00 a month. You tell them not to call you politely. Well today was the last straw when again the monthly call arrived today with one of their supporters saying that Senator Obama we all know is the presumptuous nominee for the Democratic Party! No backroom Democratic Old Men are going to sit behind closed doors and tell the Democratic Voter who shall be the nominee for our party, as they state it is the assumption he is going to be the nominee per Senator Obama’s campaign supports script!

As a Democratic Voter I am looking for facts on voting in the Senate, experience in office, education for everyone through to college if they choose, health care plan, a strategic plan out of Iraq, more efficient autos with electric helping to give the driver 100 miles to a gallon of gas, wind power for heating and electric with solar energy as a backup in most of the country, and turning American Auto Manufacturers into efficient autos and trucks for all, so food and goods do not go through the roof, as they have been doing so. Otherwise, we will be a country divided by the rich and poor, with No middle-class any longer.

Therefore, no assumptions about who the candidate for the Democratic ticket is before the Convention is over, folks.

You see that Senator Clinton won West Virginia by a landslide Tuesday and she is still going strong today! She will continue to the convention and we the people will make the decision, not some of Senator Obama’s old democratic cronies behind locked doors who want to choose the nominee for us, not the media, or celebrate. We voters will think for ourselves as to who is the best candidate for our situation in America. Every vote needs to count at the Democratic Convention, that means Florida and Michigan votes will count!

Anna, fair enuf. But Senator Obama is breaking a ceiling of his own, and some might suggest it was made of far sturdier material than glass. That's not to denigrate Senator Clinton's accomplishments or her candidacy. It's just the way things turned out.

More importantly, she does not have a better chance in the GE. One interesting date point? McCain does equally well with 'hard working white' voters when facing Clinton or Obama. Her advantage in that regard is mostly smoke. As for 'best prepared', I'm not sure what you mean. But if you're talking about the ability to put together a successful primary campaign? The Obama team has been the superior unit throughout. As for helping kids and families reach their dreams? I'd suggest Obama and Clinton are not all that different when it comes to their desire to effect the change necessary to make that occur.

Last? Criticism does not equal misogyny any more than it equals racism. Both sides have been guilty of trying to conflate one and the other. But in the end, identity politics is a cul-de-sac of dubious value.

When a woman is the best prepared, appeals to the broadest base, has a long record that shows her priorities to help kids and families reach their dreams, and has the better chance for taking the GE, but a biased and misogynistic press continues to make demeaning comments about her, sure women get angry. Of course women need to speak up for her candidacy. She's breaking the glass ceiling for us and for our daughters.

Cindy, one more thing. Politics is frequently about illusions and images, that's the way the game is played. So, as Dana Milbank reported last week, when Hillary got off a plane in Charleston and waved to the adoring crowd, what you didn't see is that there WAS no adoring crowd, just a group of reporters and cameramen. And when she did the classic point and wave -- ie 'Hey, dear friend, nice to see you! -- she was in fact pointing at the political aide who only minutes before was sitting next to her on the plane.

Suggesting that one candidate manipulates images and illusions while the other remains pristine? That's naive and counterproductive.

Given the vast difference in HIllary and McCain's policy positions -- choice, the war in Iraq, the economy, Supreme Court appointments, etc. -- anyone who boasts they're voting for one or the other is using that vote as an expression of bitterness and disappointment, a self-defeating exercise in self-entitled myopia that accomplishes nothing -- oh, wait, except perhaps a continuation of the Bush administration's policies for another eight years.

At some point, I'd think and hope, people would put their country's benefit ahead of their own finely honed sense of grievance.

It's all about images and illusions with Obama.

Hillary kicks his butt in WV, clearly showing small-town Americans don't relate to him or his policies.

So what does Obama do? Suddenly announces John Edwards endorsement. The man that has stood for small town.

I don't think Edwards will help among those of us that already have a firm opinion of Obama.

The images of huge rallies,swooning,
fainting,Oprah,Kennedy...Obama telling America he never knew what went on in his radical church (with 10 flags behind him).

Small town America can always spot a phony. It's called common sense.

Go Hillary or McCain

Democracy is a tough job isn't it?
I remember when Al Gore said to the voters " I will work hard for you every day". And What did the media try to sell to people? Bush as the image of the lover. So there you are, the "lover" versus the "hard worker".
We kind of like to identify ourselves with the figure of the "godlike" or the "starlike" quality we want from a leader. Which is quite normal.
But how to recognize the reality of those qualities and not just an image put out to attract the voters? In this case, OB plays with the qualities that can make him likeable. He is praised by the media as a brilliant speaker. Which he is not when he is in a debate with HC. He doesn't want to debate with her anymore.
And also I remember the website put up by his supporters with the homepage filled with his portraits mutiplied up to fill in the entire page. People fainted when attending a rally. Not everyone buy into that. Youth certainly love this kind of things.I find that scary, because it looks like magic. Many of HC supporters dread this kind of performance and may grow to dislike what he represents, his supporters agressivity only reinforce the wrong feeling about him.
He is promoted in the news media in a way to make him look like a golden boy whereas HC is a hardworking candidate, even her supporters are poor and from lower classes. This is what the media keeps repeating at every poll results.
The ingredients are there to make the parallalel between OB as the lucky good star figure like Bush, and HC as the villain hard worker like Al Gore. Different times, different party, different people but same old ingredients. Are the festivities going to produce the same outcome? Bad choice, bad policy.
And now they want to seal the deal, the winner and the looser, and the superDs already lining up for the share of the future success. I find HC very courageous and also her supporters, because they share her cause and I find that admirable.
The SuperDs that have not pronounced their support yet ought to question the nature of HC supporters reluctancy to support OB.
No, not racism as such, but there is empathy for HC and the rebelled feeling of unjustice done to her. And they cannot approve that negative when they are out there to vote for a better future of their country.
Beside, we are in a phase of turmoil in terms of the world change and the traditional values being put into question. Oh yeah, youth is going for change and renewal, is that right!
Communism is done with, no one wants it. But our financial capitalism has not proven completely safe. Work is a value that is devaluating more everyday. Working classes suffer for real. So the old people who have spent their life working hard to send their kids to school are not buying easily into the money money candidacy. Women who have a tough time dealing with poorly paid jobs and raising kids and keeping their homes alive, know what that means to work hard to survive day in day out. All the males who are a bit realistic to see through with some rationale go for Hc.
All these supporters share something with their candidate. Don't look down on them as loosers, as uneducated voters. Not every one like HC for her looks or what have you, but she carries that touch of humanity her supporters can understand, her fight, her hope to fulfill her goal through this campaign; she carries that fire that her supporters share.
Beyond sexism, she is a real figure more than OB, for all she has endured through this campaign. She sets more of an example for many americans.

What a shame they have to dog pile on Hillary after her big victory last night. They must have had Edwards ready to trot out to steal her thunder and distract from Obama's big problem....hard working middle Americans. You know, that group that typically votes in the next President. All the endorsements BO gets (usually after a Hillary victory) haven't helped him close the deal with voters yet, and Edwards will be no different! Why do they keep deluding themselves...they have a problem with BO as the nom. I have been all around the blogsphere and Hillary defectors to McCain camp IS REAL. Someone ought to do a story about that, AND IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH RACISM!

The prinicples are at stake and rural Americans are upholding those high principles of living.

They see through those hot air by party pundits. The party pundits are against the people. They manipulate. They squander and then make people foot their bills.

No way. We have a fighter all the way.
Go Hillary. We only have one life to live. We have our dream and we work on it.

The empty suit just brags about it and then underneath we see Rev Wright and sorts snickering.

We live through it. We can't let WHITE HOUSE TURN INTO DARK HOUSE. The rookie is not for war time because they fumbles with lives. The rookie is not for economic recession. This rookie has never been a governor, he is just a lawyer, and no administration credential.

He is just hot air with bambastic high-flown language. The fundamentals are not there. He is living in a country of 57 states. This is the type that the party leaders sticking down our throat.

Before any primary, they are arranging those non-players to interfere. Up theirs and down the party.

What a bunch of suckers we are!

Our votes are blatantly up for sale!
Isn't that a sad state of affairs?

Whatever happened to good olde
democracy?

Down with the DNC!!
I've grown to hate it!

I'll vote for Hillary
even if I have to write it in!

Barb in MN, you are so right. It is unexcusable and inexplicable why these endorsements have been so early. Sounds like a lot of lightweights trying to be "somebody" and a lot of cowards wanting to make sure they are on the priority list. From early on, the old-time losers like Kerry wanted to prop Obama up in order to make something of themselves. Oprah gave him a platform and financial support for reasons unknown and made a big splash. And then, when teenagers were threatening their parents, we got more endorsements from poeple who should know better who wanted to be hip.
People still don't know much about Obama, but they HOPE he'll be a great president. I've never seen anything like this. However, there are some disturbing similarities between the campaign of 2000 and this one -- and I mean Obama = Bush.

Hillary was a terrible candidate. She is a terrible speaker, is an awful human being, and has a history of being terrible for women and minorities. She should get out of the way so that a great woman candidate can have a shot at it next time. Kathleen Sebelius the governor of Kansas is a good example. Real executive experience - no history of bashing woman who Bill has flashed or worse.

This rush to call the race and unify the party is preventing the voters’ voices from being heard. How can we tell anymore who’s switching their support to Obama for the sake of party unity and who actually thinks he’d make the better president?

Why can’t the move to unify the party happen after everyone has voted?

Deciding to endorse RIGHT NOW in order to unify the party – IMO – is as lame as endorsing because your grandkids think Obama is cool.

TO--countallthevotes--I been saying this for months, Rezko and Obama are both guilty. There had to be a reason Rezko paid $625,000 for a vacant lot so Obama could have his mansion. It was either a bribe or pay-off or both.
The Tribune have indept info about the Rezko/Obama connection they are not printing. Akelrod was with the Tribune before running Obama's campaign and maybe influencing the paper. Obama refuse to answer all questions about the association.

harley peyton:

the party sucks!

the country is more important than
the party!

viva la Hillary!

Jgaw,

In a word, no. The thing is, I don't see this as a zero sum game. One doesn't have to tear down one candidate in order to lift up the other. The party's larger prospects are of far greater importance than the wounded feelings of supporters on either side.

countallthevotes,
thanks
goodnight

Vit and jgaw,

The rezko-auchi-obama story has had in depth coverage in the London Times for some time now. I think that may have everything to do with the fact that Auchi is a London resident and a billionarie many times over. Note, Auchi also was Sadam Hussein's financial planner and bag man. I am busy tomorrow but will post the links when I get a chance. Definitely reputable and verified. Also the Chicago Tribune has covered most of this also.

Things to watch for:

Rezko trial has gone to the jury. Looks very bad for Rezko. He presented no defense whatsoever, not one witness. That is a bad sign. Rezko can still enter into a plea deal until the jury returns a verdict. So watch for that.

If Rezko decides to take his chances with the jury and is found guilty, he has another opportunity to cooperate. He gets points for cooperation and sentencing in federal court is really based on points. Great incentive for him to cooperate.

If Rezko does not cooperate and is thereafter sentenced, he has yet another opportunity to do so. The Gov can bring him back before the court based on "substantial cooperation" and get a reduction in his sentence. Of course, the greater cooperation, the greater the sentence reduction.

I do believe, based on my readings from reputable sources, that more indictments will be handed down. Rezko is just the tip of the iceberg.

Obama is in jeopardy because of his very longtime professional, financial and social relationship with Rezko and Rezko with Auchi. All you need show is that Auchi's money to rezko funded Obama's purchase of that house and he is done, finito!!
