I could not resist commenting on this photo from the NY Times Blog The Caucus. The Caucus reports: “Rednecks love Barack Obama. Or at least two of them do.”
“We hunt, fish, drink beer and support Barrack Obama,” said Tony Viessman, a 74-year old former Hillary Clinton supporter from Rolla, Mo. He and his buddy Les [...]

Four years ago, Hillary Clinton made a promise to Aleatha Williams, that she would speak at her high graduation. Yesterday, she fulfilled that promise. Aleatha Williams, is the daughter of a Clinton supporter and she volunteered for Hillary Clinton’s campaign. She introduced Senator Hillary Clinton to “fellow graduates from Pelham Preparatory Academy in the Bronx as “my [...]

In a reversal from it’s endorsement of Hillary Clinton, the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, the largest part of the AFL-CIO, will endorse and support Barack Obama.
“Barack Obama has mobilized a historic movement to reclaim the greatness of America,” Gerald McEntee, AFSCM President, said. “With his leadership, our nation will rise [...]

It looks like it’s time for the Clinton fundraisers to jump on to “Unity Pony” and work together with the Obama team…
The Daily News reported today that “Hillary Clinton will join Barack Obama for a joint appearance in Washington next week to persuade her donors to begin giving to the Democrats’ nominee.” Hillary Clinton’s [...]

Last night I posted here on the threats by Clinton supporters to vote for John McCain and I said:
As a Clinton supporter and a feminist I find a certain kind of irony in the fact that Clinton supporters are complaining about the sexism that Hillary weathered during her campaign but they are willing to support a [...]

I had a thought tonight about the threats to support John McCain from angry Clinton supporters.
As a Clinton supporter and a feminist I find a certain kind of irony in the fact that Clinton supporters are complaining about the sexism that Hillary weathered during her campaign but they are willing to support a candidate who called his wife [...]

I’ve been working on some quotes for my business today and mulling over what is next here for The Dem Daily, with the presidential primaries out of the way. It’s been a long drawn out primary season and emotions are high given the outcome not being as desirable for some as they had hoped. We [...]

I’m still shaking my head in wonderment over the deal forged at the DNC’s Rules Committee Meeting today.

This morning, a 70-year-old visually impaired African American woman called in to C-Span’s “Washington Journal” to express her support for Obama and her opposition to Clinton. She spoke for a moment about the discrimination she had experienced as a black woman and about the hope Obama gives her. Then she spoke about how disappointed she [...]
