Posted on January 3rd, 2008 by Pamela Leavey

I received the press release below from Emily’s List a while ago. Reading through it, I was very impressed with the rather unprecedented effort they put into their GOTV effort for Hillary Clinton in Iowa particularly with women who had no history of caucus participation.

Don’t hold your breath for a Gore endorsement… The chances at this point “are fading,” says Josh Gerstein of the N.Y. Sun.  
An endorsement by Vice President Gore in the hard-fought Democratic presidential race could give a huge boost to Senator Obama or allow Senator Clinton to deliver the coup de grace to her rivals, but [...]

Just “VOTE NO” on Romney

Posted on December 23rd, 2007 by Pamela Leavey

Posted on December 17th, 2007 by Pamela Leavey

He may have been Bill Clinton’s opponent back in ‘92 and not always seen things eye to eye with him, but that didn’t stop Bob Kerrey from jumping in to “enthusiastically and unequivocally” endorse Hillary Clinton on Sunday.
