    Unmarried women are concerned about wages, employment and health care.

  • No, unmarried women are the biggest nonvoting bloc and a huge potential voting bloc.

    I believe a floor fight at the convention would be the undoing of the nominee, WHOEVER it is...

    No, if Hillary wins the floor fight, she will also win the general. She's tough like that.

    I don't have any problem with Clinton remaining in this race at least through the end of voting early next month. But if this is the type of language that Clinton will be using for the duration of this primary process, I have a real problem with her continuing her campaign.

    This is how many Clinton supporters feel about the lack of apology for sexism in the campaign. Clinton has apologized at least four times now for racism in the campaign. Once for Shaheen, once for Ferraro, once for Bill Clinton and once for herself.

    Obama supporters said nothing when Olbermann said a SD kill her. There has been no commentary on Slate's Hillary Death Watch, comparing Clinton to a euthanized horse at the end of a race and many other examples. Race does not trump gender. This is a double standard.

    The lack of an apology for the misogyny in the campaign is beyond the pale. The same thing can be said for the continuation of Obama's campaign.

    Let's not abbreviate the issue: it's clear that Clinton is not in any way calling directly for something to happen to Obama. But we also cannot divorce her comments from her public stature, her intelligence, her responsibility as a leader, or our history. So even with the most charitable interpretation, I think her negligence is disqualifying.

    Well, the Jesse Jackson SC and RFK lines are Baby Boomers' historical references.

    Why didn't Obamaites say it was beyond the pale when Olbermann suggested a SD go into a room and kill Clinton? Race does not trump gender. These are double standards.

    Your responses are pouring in and have filled our inboxes in all states. We are moving rapidly and will have a website up soon, and are trying to respond to your emails as quickly as possible. Please pass this information on to everyone you can. Here's what we need to do.

    Make calls to OR and KY. We will have another stunning victory in KY and close the gap in OR. We believe the opposition will announce that he has won the nomination on May 20th after the polls close. It will not be believable when Hillary is announcing a HUGE VICTORY IN KY.

    Organize a demonstration in front of your local NBC affiliate on election night, May 20th, starting at 6:30pm, until, preferably, the close of the 11:00 news. If you do not live close to your NBC affiliate, DO NOT WATCH IT. MAKE THEIR RATINGS PLUMMET. This must be done nationwide so that our numbers and strength are visible. We have announced this boycott of NBC at our press conference. Do this to show the strength of Hillary Supporters to defeat this less-qualified candidate that has been blatantly aided with biased reporting by much of the media, and protest the sexist behavior and disgraceful comments from NBC anchors. Make you own signs, for Hillary or against any of these offenses. Use your imagination. But most of all, JUST DO IT. YOU BEING THERE WILL MAKE THE STATEMENT THAT WOMEN ALL OVER AMERICA, ARE MAD AS HECK AND AREN'T GOING TO TAKE IT ANY MORE.

    The next step is the Resolution of FL and MI and we will demonstrate in Washington on May 31st when the Rules Committee meets. Save the date. ...more later. Each time we enter a new phase we will determine the most effective strategy and communicate it to you. Your part is to help make it happen throughout OH, MI, PA and FL, the critical states where we have the advantage.

    THIS IS OUR MOMENT. HILLARY IS OUR CANDIDATE. WE HAVE THE POWER TO MAKE HISTORY. LET'S USE IT!

  • comment on a post Post-Election Thread over 4 years ago
    In its polite, if somewhat perfunctory tone as well as in its substance, this really really sounds like a speech made by a woman with her eyes on the Vice Presidency.
    Right, this REALLY sounds like she wants to be VP:
    I am in this race because I believe I am the strongest candidate - the strongest candidate to lead our party in November of 2008 and the strongest president to lead our nation starting in January of 2009. I can win this nomination if you decide I should, and I can lead this party to victory in the general election if you lead me to victory now. The bottom line is this - the White House is one in the swing states and I am winning the swing states. And we have done it by standing up for the deepest principles of our party with a vision for an America that rewards hard work again, that values the middle class and helps to make it stronger. The question is, why do so many people keep voting? Why did 64% of Democrats say in a recent poll they wanted this race to continue? Because in the face of the pundits and the naysayers, they know what is at stake. They know that we have two wars, an economy in crisis on the brink of a recession, $9 trillion of debt, oil prices shooting through the roof, gas prices and grocery prices hurting people who desperately are looking for a way to just keep going day to day. They know they need a champion. They need someone who's going to never stop fighting for health care that covers everyone, no exceptions, for an economy that lifts everyone up, for good jobs that won't be shipped overseas, for college affordability, for all that you can do to own a home and then to keep it.
    She said Obama should be HER VP or drop out.
  • comment on a post Congratulations from Obama Supporters. Celebrate! over 4 years ago

    Three sentences in wherever Obama supporters comment on Clinton blogs they reveal themselves. Forget it! Obama and his campaign have to change their tone to get back the voters they under the bus.

    Creative Class 13% (see Florida's book)
    Blacks 13%
    18-29 year old eligible voters 25%

    Women 51%
    Working class 33%
    Latinos 15%
    Asians 5%
    Elderly 12%
    Gays 10%

    CLINTON WINS 126 > 51.

    It's either misogyny or they don't relate to him. Many are poor, working women. Think Walmart clerks who really need her policies and health care.
