Greetings to everyone out in Ohio!
To all of you who are busy as bees working hard for the OBAMA campaign-keep up the good work! Ohio will be one of the important states and every vote counts. Phone bank, talk to your friends, go door to door, email, blog, whatever you can spare to help. I know the volunteers and fellows are working long hours every day and could use some words of encouragement as well. Bake some cookies or drop off a favorite dish to help keep our workers fired up and ready to go!
Great work fellows and volunteers......and a special shout out to Matt on the TOLEDO TEAM!

The Birthing Pains
Well, we are finally here and the primaries are finally over.
Now the real work begins....
On a personal note we are doing all that we can to help ensure that Senator Obama is our next President. My husband will be going back to Ohio for a month to help in any way possible.
It is imperative that we all come together and unite behind Senator Obama. I know some people are still upset and even crushed that Senator Clinton did not win. We must come together though, as the alternative is unthinkable. We can not fight another war and we can not continue to stay in the mess we are in. The economy will keep getting worse, job loss will continue and millions will suffer from lack of health coverage. We must unite!
Senator Obama will give us the chance to do something different, be involved and help grow this new administration. A new administration built by us, that will help to change America. Then we will have a new America-the way it was meant to be. Lets' get back to the America that the founding fathers envisioned, the America that Lincoln fought so desperately to keep together and the America that FDR helped to build.
This is our chance to help in the re-birth of America. It is time for the arrival of America's enlightenment.

Poisoning the well
Senator Clinton has gone over and beyond the line.
Anyone who can still possibly support her disaster of a campaign is in need of a reality check.
Regardless of any points she was "trying" to make, historical or other....you simply never should never ever invoke the word assassination. Once again, I do not know which was worse..uttering that word or her "attempt" at explaining why she said it.
She needs to bow out now, but I'm sure she will not. I only pray that she has not damaged the support for our party too badly and that Senator Obama will be able to continue helping to heal the country.
So may next question is....how much lower will she stoop?

Endgame
Ok, it's official..Senator Clinton CAN NOT WIN in the delegate count and do you really think that the remaining super delegates will all go to her, when in fact many have jumped ship to Senator Obama? This is done. We all now this is done. Senator Clinton has to know this. I just don't know why she is prolonging this-what is her real motive? You know that is the roles were reversed Senator Obama would be screamed at by everyone to step down. I hear the talking heads on the news say only she could do this because her last name is Clinton. ....Give me another break.
I think that Senator Obama is playing the right move and focusing his attention on John McCain. This is where it should be. It's time to chip away or rather cleave off this picture perfect image the press has made of him. He certainly has given the Democrats ample ammunition against him....Iraq, Iran, his lack of a sound economic proposal, oh and not wanting to modernize the GI Bill..among many other things. The straight talk express is just one big train wreck!

She's Lost That Losing Feeling
This race for the Democrats has gone on way to long.
The basic point is this: neither candidate will have the magic number needed even after the delegates and states are tallied; however, there will be a leader in those numbers. That leader as we all can see is Senator Barack Obama.
Now if the Party or supporters want to argue and complain about the process, that is fine...after the race is done. We have to follow this through they way it is for now. I do hope there are some changes made to how this process works. Right now though we are stuck in the middle of this and we need to get moving forward if we are going to win against John McCain.
The pundits and analysts are re-cycling and re-cycling the same talking points, the same ideas and it's driving me crazy. McCain keeps making fumble after fumble asking for a good old fashioned criticism, but we are mired down with our best candidate in the nomination mud. Senator Clinton needs to step up to the plate after Pennsylvania and say OK I get it. I think she knows that..I just don't know why she keeps giving the impression this is still up for grabs. There is a wide gulf between graciously stepping aside and possibly harming your Party due to your own agenda. I'm so disappointed in the Senator and I worry that she gives voters a bad impression of what a woman-leader could be like. As a woman, I'm all for equal rights, opportunities, etc.. but I also think a woman should have the grace and eloquence to realize when she needs to take a different leadership position. This is Senator Clinton's chance to say hey I came close and ran a heck of a race but I lost this one; however there are other races to win. She is still a Senator (no small thing) and she could still rise in politics yet and be a great asset to the Party, the voters and the newly elected President Barack Obama.

Mr. President
Enough said...
Senator Obama had the guts and the eloquence to discuss a topic that lingers in every facet of society-from dinner tables to board rooms and from lecture halls to yes..even church services.
The issue of race overlaps many other issues and this had to be addressed..and Senator Obama was just the person to address it. You have to address this first before you can move on to Iraq, the economy, health care, education, etc.
Bravo Senator Obama..You have reminded me that once in awhile..once in a great great while people in government stand for things in order to help others and not for political gain. Hmm I seem to remember another issue he stood for in a certain way that seemed highly controversial....
I don't know about you-but this is the kind of President I want and the kind the country needs.

McCain/Clinton...that's the ticket
I just don't see any other reason as to why Senator Clinton would keep her aggressive campaign going, unless she wants to really be VP...
.....for McCain.
I'm not alone in this assumption either; and I really can't think of any good reasons for her to continue what she is doing. This is causing severe damage to the party, to supporters and to both Democratic candidates. She really needs to take a step back and look at what is happening-is the destruction of the Democratic party worth ambition? My opinion of her keeps dropping and when I hear her talk and see how she behaves-I shake my head. She embarrasses me as a woman and as an American. She may say she is all for unity but I don't see it. She says we will beat the Republicans this time around (how when you beat your competitor up, then say you want him as VP?) She seems more and more Republican sounding to me and remember she was a Goldwater girl.
Well maybe she should go for VP on the Republican side...she is a hawk, voted for Kyle-Lieberman, is divisive like McCain and represents the old way of doing things....
I wonder what their bumper stickers would look like?
