Each state has different rules and some do not even recognize write in votes in that if you write in Hillary..in some states it would automatically go to nominee of party, anyway. Board of Elections of ea state should be called. There is a good chance you are wasting your vote or voting Obama anyway. Check this out.

WATCH GEORGE WILL ON TONIGHTS CHARLIE ROSE, IT WILL REPEAT DURING THE DAY IN SOME CITIES, IT IS GOOD!

One thing to do, Mary S., is to contact the democratic national committee and tell them you will not support a ticket that does not include Sen. Clinton. Do this in the next day or so. Best, MP

There are important issues facing the United States today: Our illegal and unjust war on Iraq; our failing health care system; our failing school system; violence in our streets and in our homes; our failing economy; our failing infrastructure (remember the bridges in the midwest?); our damaged and bleeding returning soldiers, many of whom will end up sleeping in doorways along side our Vietnam Era Veterans; our lack of community, as we strangers live next door to each other in our failing cities, without even knowing each other’s names; our total loss of control of the media to the corporate/industrial complex and their shallow ‘twist and shout’ journalism; the rampant and blatant anti-woman movement of the so-called religious right; population explosion; the hate campaign brewing against gays and lesbians; continuing racism, and especially ignoring Hispanic and Asian people in the discussion; lack of real, valuable, and meaningful work for many of our citizens; the obscene prison system; a government who thinks they are “above the law; the pollution and fragility of the food supply; the refusal of the government to address our long-term energy needs; the total lack of any real programs to address global environmental degradation; the corporate interests attempting to lock up our water sources and supply; drug, alcohol, cigarette, gambling, sex and other addictions (anything to get us off the planet for a few years, eh?); lack of true scientific research (most science is now in the hands of corporations, whose sole goal is to exploit new science to get money from us); the baby boomers facing retirement age at the same time our 401ks tank in the subprime melt-down because of the ignorance, arrogance and greed of the unregulated banking industry (thanks, republicans); the assault on reason of the Rove-era anti-intellectual propagandists, which leaves us with a generation of young people who are waiting for “voice-activation” on a blackberry so they don’t have to text (hello? It’s a telephone, for god’s sake); and what is apparently a total lack of courtesy and common sense on the part of nearly everyone. The rest of the world looks at us, their so-called “leaders” and say, “too bad. It was a noble experiment.” And why would they admire or respect us? We’ve taken more resources, and a better opportunity to build a great society than any people ever in the history of the world, and we’ve turned it into the red carpet and people magazine. But that’s all right. Let’s just keep talking about the Clintons as though they are target practice for the slings and arrows of our frustrations. So helpful. So helpful. Deni G - 6/7/2008 4:16 PM I believe the only hope the extreme right wing has is to keep us arguing about nothing, name calling and closing our eyes to the state of our country. I am quite sure that is what is being attempted here. We don’t have to fall for it. We can keep our eyes and our fingers focused on our responsibilities as human beings. Because no matter who these people are who are bashing The Clintons, they are not people who are engaged in the mighty job of fixing this mess we are in. They are people who are engaged in deepening wounds and creating divisions. It’s like screaming at your neighbor over the fence, while your house is burning down. Has anybody filled up their gas tank lately?

Ginny, I agree with you. I can close my eyes and see her addressing the Democratic convention. She could be so serious and funny at the the same time. She was a smart political animal the we are all poorer for her loss.Bev.

Barbara Jordan was the woman! Thanks for bringing her to mind.
