The night before last I wrote a post here titled: Get A Grip!!! The post had a two fold message, one: to Clinton supporters threatening to vote for McCain over Obama and two: to Obama supporters who’s comments were getting out of hand here.
The p…

While we may occasionally nominate a poodle instead of good campaigner I have always bite my tongue, slammed my forehead into the voting booth wall and voted to keep the WH in Democratic hands.

I’ve been doing the political thing for a long time so I’ve seen a couple poodles. And none got elected.

I worry about Obama. I continue to hold out hope for the one person I think could attract the best talent to be Veep and serve in her cabinet.

I hope….and continue to donate as possible. She’s even been outspent in WV with Obama having more staff, offices and volunteers on the ground that Clinton. [I feel I know her so well now I have the instinct to call her Hillary. I've avoided that familiarity out of respect.]
Obama is now calling for voluteers from outside Oregon to flood the state. Amazing.

I hope.

I heard the same line about the candidate being shoved down throats by the DNC four years ago. Who echoed those lines – people who passionately supported candidates other than Kerry.

Thank you for sharing.

Thanks. I agree with all your reasons why we need a Dem in the White House. My first choice for this election isn’t running making Hillary my 2nd, Obama my 3rd. I’ll be happy just to have a Dem at the helm.

As for McCain as President, my fellow Hillary supporters who are thinking you’ll vote for McCain if Hillary isn’t on the ballot, please consider that the Iraq war will not end with McCain in the White House, and the war WILL expand to Iran next in the next three years with any Republican in the White House.

Chalk up somethign else these folks are not thinking about. Thank you for the reminder. And truly as mention in your last paragraph, Hillary Clinton supporters should be channeling their energy into positive actions to help her, not negative actions against Obama or claims of supporting McCain, which really doesn’t help her make a case to win the nomination at all. Infact it gives aid to both the McCain camp and the Obama camp.

Rather, we want Hillary as our President. Beause for many, this is not just about getting the Republicans out of office. This is about electing the right leader for our nation. And that leader is Hillary Clinton because of her talents, stamina, strength of character and willingness to get things done for Americans at home, and to repair the damage Bush has done to the reputation of America abroad. As well as the fact that we want a strong, intelligent, knowledgable woman in the White House.

Though I won’t vote for a Republican on any level, this time, and certainly not for John McCain if Hillary is not the Democratic Party’s nominee – the reason I won’t vote for McCain is because I truly think that if McCain wins the White House, we will be at war with Iran within three years.

But I do not rant at and insult those who disagree with me and say they will vote for McCain if they can not vote for Hillary Clinton (and a number of friends and acquaintances have told me that’s what they will do, and I believe them.) I decided awhile back that I will write Hillary’s name in on the ballot, if I can. Those who choose McCain over Hillary might choose “None of the Above” if the ballot box had that.

I do understand, and agree with a lot of the reasons for why people won’t vote for President of the United States Barack Obama, after knowing about so much of his baggage. The Democratic Party machine should ensure Hillary Clinton is the nominee. She is the only one running as a Democrat who can and will withstand the Republican slaughterhouse in the general election.

As for McCain as President, my fellow Hillary supporters who are thinking you’ll vote for McCain if Hillary isn’t on the ballot, please consider that the Iraq war will not end with McCain in the White House, and the war WILL expand to Iran next in the next three years with any Republican in the White House.

Meanwhile, how about write those uncomitted Superdelegates in your respective States, encouraging them to stand for Hillary Clinton? Just a one page letter, short and to the point, staying positive, no negative attacks. I sent several letters out already after somebody telephoned me last week asking me if I’d be willing to do this. Clearly, they think positively phrased letters to the Superdelegates might help Hillary. This race is not over yet. Let’s channel our energy for Hillary into supportive letters for her to the Superdelegates.

I have a hard time with that myself. I was actually just reflecting back to the Kerry blog in ’04 and the whiners there that claimed they would vote for Bush rather than Kerry. And then months or more after the ’04 election the voter’s remorse started to trickle on through. People need to wake up. We don’t need more of the same with McCain.

P.S. your front page post are missed around here.

I am not big on Sen McCain but if I must vote for the lesser of two evils then my vote will go for Sen McCain. You can say I am out to destroy Roe v Wade, voting rights, civil liberties and civil rights but you would be greatly wrong, I am out to save America.

LOL. Saving America by destroying America. Thanks, but we don’t need that kind of “saving”, My Friend.

Pamela, I have hard time believing some of these self-professed Clinton supporters are really Clinton supporters. The vitriol re Obama is just too right wing wacko to be believed.
