Donna, I’m really happy for Obama, but we can all remember having the wind knocked out of us with Kerry. I took a bag of chocolate cookies and went to bed, never do that! Remember the thighs! I hope and believe that this will all work out for everyone’s satisfaction. I have been furious at HRC for her war vote which as a former ardent supporter I took as the ultimate betrayal. So tonight is weird. For the first time in seven years I feel like this movie in my head of all the work, and all the money lost volunteering instead of working, just paid off. At the same time I don’t feel any glee when anyone else ‘lose’s’ we’ve all been there. Just hope she learns from it and moves on. The party seniors will ensure, as am certain Obama will too, that there is an appropriate role of power and scope…whatever that may be. Someone mentioned that FDR, JFK, and others nominees have joined with the other top candidate to make the ticket. JFK picked Johnson over everyone’s objection to get the southern vote. It’ll be interesting to see what happens. My guess is that tomorrow HRC might ‘suspend’ her campaign rather than officially withdraw….and the role that makes the most sense to me for her is Sec of State.

I’m proud of both Hillary and Obama. I believe Hillary tenacity help Obama clinch this nomination.

That is undoubtedly an original thought.

How is it that the Dems have forgotten the argument they made during the election debacle in 2004…that the Dems clearly won the popular vote…why are we having such issues applying the same logic to our own party nomination…HRC has the popular vote…enough said.

Actually HRC doesn’t have the pop vote, as it stands now Obama is 4,000 ahead in pop vote.

Has anyone seen the funny and effective MoveOn.org ad that’s running which uses the 1960s Patti Duke show’s theme song “When Cousins Are Two of a Kind” to paint Bush and McCain as two of a kind? It’s really biting, funny and good.

I saw part of it today and you know what? It isn’t that damaging. It is actually rather fun and you find yourself singing along. I think MoveOn will have to cancel it. And that campaign tactic of saying McCain is a third term for the President isn’t going anywhere either. John McCain has a history and a “record” (please note for Obama supports) of taking issue with the Administration on many issues and is a unique candidate in that he is known for standing by his convictions and values. A marvelous candidate. The Republican Party is lucky to have him.

Funny—here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUBDM16ylvU McCain has voted with Bush 100% of the time. Here’s McCains Nightmare ad: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GEtZlR3zp4c

I guess what I’m saying is that it should be implied that a woman or a black man or a gay or lesbian individual can do great things. To bring up these characteristics only serves to perpetuate the idea that these groups are lesser in some way and that those that achieve a certain level should be applauded. No! If I were in any of these groups, it should feel condescending for someone to make these remarks. To point out differences means that we are not blind to sex, skin color, ethnicity, sexuality—if we can “see” these things, we haven’t come very far at all in the last 40 years, have we? I only hope that in 40 more years, the fact that a politician is a woman, black, or hispanic doesn’t even factor into our decision making.

Jose - RESENTMENT and diviseness based upon race, gender, etc. is HRC’s calling card and WHY she lost. It is how she has successfully divided the Party since February. What will be interesting is HOW this act will play in New York — and, how the Clintons will be viewed internationally in a VERY diverse world, going forward. We didn’t KNOW them. Now we do. Some of us are moving AWAY from this kind of thinking and/or those who leverage our differences for advantage. Some are not, and — as with our friends in Appalachia, that’s their right. We have rights, too.

Kara Spencer
Renata, I have to say…you’re the one who’s coming across as intolerant, divisive and angry, not HRC. If you’re attitudes represent Obama…I will gladly vote McCain.
By Kara Spencer on 06/03/2008 7:23 pm

Kara - You are right. I am intolerant of divisiveness, a refusal to focus - for once - on the actual winner and the neverending Clinton dramas that have and are turning our Democratic Nomination process into an international joke — and aiding Republicans in a year that should have been a slam dunk. Howver, since you are voting for McCain, I can understand and respect your point of view. I am intelerant of mature adults who cannot/will not concede they have lost — and, simultaneously want to impose their will on the winner, inappropriately.
