Hillary takes on the media

In Washington, they talk about who’s up and who’s down. In Oregon, we care about what’s right and what’s wrong.

It’s the map, not the math

Alegre:

She said our voices make a real difference.

We engage others here.

We make the case for her here on the blogs.

We help get her message out and none of that is lost on her.

Clinton Chats with Pro Hillary Bloggers

Taylor Marsh: A Conversation of Heart

It’s doubtful that anything surprised the insiders of the Clinton campaign more than the relationship Hillary has experienced with her online supporters, but especially the bloggers who have made the case for Clinton as time has passed. We’ve got your back, Hillary. We’re in it all the way. PODCAST: Senator Clinton Chats with Pro Hillary Bloggers

Must be an Obama supporter

Clinton supporters, please enjoy this comment from John (Donni22303@yahoo.com | 65.34.195.223), left wrt our post about the boycott suggested by the two women on Fox yesterday:

Why are these feminists always fat ugly pigs who are so pitiful and depressed with who they are they have to try and speak and pit gender races. Equal rights this equal rights that, but women want men to pick up the check, hold the door and recognize other feminine customs and cycles. I say good riddens, Im sick of retarded voters so stupid as to vote based on gender or race. Enjoy your loss and i look forward to watching hillary campaign for obama with all that egg on her face.

With friends like these, Sen. Obama…

MAKE SURE FL/MI ARE HEARD

AND THAT SEN. CLINTON RECEIVES 100% OF HER PLEDGED DELEGATES FROM THESE STATES.

The Clinton campaign has a link to send the DNC an e-mail about MI/FL prior to the rules committee meeting on May 31st.  Here’s the text of what I sent (I hope I got all the details right):

I would like Sen. Clinton and Sen. Obama to have the delegates from FL seated at 100% based on the January results.  Dem voters should not be penalized for GOP changes to the primary, and neither candidate campaigned there - though both benefited from national advertising.

I think this should be non-negotiable for FL.

Now that Obama has Edwards’ support, perhaps he should receive a portion of MI’s delegates based on that endorsement.  I’m not exactly sure how to award Obama in MI, since his campaign made the choice to remove his name from the ballot, which was one viable, strategic decision.  Clinton’s choice to stay on the ballot was another legitimate strategy.  Sen. Clinton should receive 100% of her pledged delegates from MI, without exception.  I t think Sen. Obama and Clinton should split the delegates that reflect the votes that went to Gravelle, Dodd and Kucinich, if that’s allowed.  I guess you could award Obama delegates for all the uncommitted votes, but do not TAKE ANY AWAY from Sen. Clinton.  That is grossly unfair, given both campaigns took a gamble on this outcome.  Obama has stonewalled revotes; he should not now receive some of Sen. Clinton’s delegates as a reward for obstructing the democratic process after he didn’t like the MI outcome.  I don’t support his 48-state strategy, and neither should the DNC.

Thank you.

Please do your part for our candidate!!

Open Thread: Update on H1K Fundraising

To date we have raised $4,305 directly through this site.  I don’t know how many of you have been inspired via this site and donated, or were already steadily contributing through other channels.

Check out the “Please Contribute to HRC!” page for our latest new commenter, Myrtle, who has given $1,300 to Clinton.  Amazing!!!!

Since July 2007, I have made 11 contributions ranging from $10 to $100, for a total of $530.  (That’s an average of $48 each time.)  I volunteered in MA prior to Super Tuesday, made calls to voters in Sheboygan Falls, WI, and traveled to San Antonio to volunteer for the TX primaries/caucuses.

And then there’s this blog, where I’ve met all of you tremendous HRC supporters.

How have you all contributed to the campaign?  Feel free to congratulate yourself in comments below.  YOU DESERVE IT!!!!

Happy Friday.

Big Tent Democrat’s take on the same Boston Globe article that got Liss going in HSW#92.

Poor, poor Hillary…whatever is a girl to do?  (The sexism/misogyny articles are really gaining ground, lately, no?)

Stand your ground against the advancing armies!!

Building The Obama Party - this has been discussed in depth around the ’sphere, but here’s some original reporting on Obama’s push to quarantine and dismantle existing progressive infrastructure.  As we know, this guy’s all about taking tough stands, unafraid to speak truth to power.  Right. (Make sure you watch the video!)

Wouldn’t you have loved to be a fly on the wall for the conversation b/w Hillary and Elizabeth E.?

Why this Dem rejects and denounces bi-partisan unity.  I want subpoenas, criminal proceedings, and punishments.  And a fighter in the White House!!
