After all, I’m a mid-fifties white man and one of the reasons I contributed money and time to a politician for the first time in my life was a sense that Obama was different and maybe even capable of changing the Washington way of doing business.

And putting my vote for her kind of goes against that. McCain isn’t all that bad but frankly I think he’s too weak and set in his ways to resist the lobbyists, in fact I think he’s in bed with them. But I know Hillary is too, albeit a different side of the bed.

No, I prefer to think we’ll do whats’ right as Americans and this won’t be an issue.

The one thing I can’t understand about those states that Hillary’s winning where they are depressed financially, like West Virginia coming up, is why for someone who is a established member of the Washington Insiders?

I would have really thought that Obama’s American Up from Nowhere and Nothing story would have been inspirational and at a minimum would resonate with them. And yet someone has the nerve to throw the “Elitest” name at him? Kind of illustrates how accliminated we’ve all come to low expectations in our range of political choices.

Why don’t you take a step back and look at the big picture.

Obama or not - I’m voting like a true Democrat! I hope you will too.

Dream ticket 08!

As a party we share compassion for those that need support and attention for their survival.

We are the party that cares for the suffering and abused.

We do not ignore but embrace the poor, ill, weak, old, disabled, young, envirnoment and fractured families.

We as a country are only as strong as our weakest link and by uniting together to shore up that which is in need we remain strong.

The Democrats care….. we share our wealth with the poor and we are a watchdog to protect these values.

Hillary Clinton is a champion for all these values. Her years of service to the public has documented her passion.
She and Bill Clinton have wealth. They could make good Republicans but they need to give back in service to us, to our country.
What do they have to gain otherwise.
Where is the value of life, if not to make a difference in the lives of the poor and try to meet the needs of those that find it hard to do battle alone.

Democrats…. we are the party of compassion.

I am a proud supported of Hillary Clinton.

However, now I am beginning to wonder more what to do if she and Bill steal the nomination. What a grave error that would be. Do I take my own advice and say Obama supporters should form our own party? Goddamn right. If the DNC doesn’t feel the financial muscle and voter power generated by Obama’s grassroots backbone is worth co-opting than we should walk and sure as hell contest the results. The one thing I have say about this primary season is that it has me fired up like I have never experienced. This is a hell of a lot better than television (which I don’t own anyway) and it’s the nearest thing to a three party race that I’ve ever seen.

Obama is head and shoulders above his opponents and his style of politics is what sets him apart from his rivals. He may not be sweeping the nation off its feet the way he was before Hillary got her teeth into him but he has clearly arrived on the scene with such a strong sense of purpose that it’s obvious Barack Obama has a mission to fulfill. If it is not as the President to bring us out of Iraq, the President to redefine our nation’s politics or to be America’s first black President then he is bound to make his mark by another means. Two families, the Bushes and the Clintons, have run this country for almost twenty years. Now these ego maniacs want to extend their reign? What nonsense. It’s time we stopped being strangled by the Bush and Clinton oligarchy. That’s one of the changes I’m looking forward to.

I’m trying to convince myself that whatever the outcome the Democratic Party needs our support. The only problem is I’d have a difficult time belonging to a Democratic Party that underhandedly gave the Clintons the nomination.
