I, too, will write in Hillary fin the general election. How can we get a national movement started?

Salient Point

I will write in Hillary’s name on my ballot. The preocess of the DMC is so convoluted that the person who should be nominated isn’t. I have been a deleegate in my state up to the state level, and the rules stink. If only in protest, I will vote for Hillary Clinton.

KD and SP and others vowing to write in vote for Hillary-It seems inevitable to me that Barack will win the nomination, and although he wasn’t my first choice, I will vote for him, because he’s an unknown quantity for the most part. McCain however has a LONG track record and it’s not good. Whomever wins the national election gets to appoint the next Supreme Court Justices. Do you want McCain to do that? Furthermore I’ll bet big money that Hillary will endorse Barack when she concedes the race. If SHE expresses the wish that her supporters now support Barack are you prepared to abide by her wishes? I would vote for Hillary if she wins even though I voted for Barack in the primary because my choices dropped out. Write in votes will only help McCain, there are other ways to voice your displeasure with the Democratic Party. The first is to get involved in the party.

I too will be writing HRC’s name in. I am tired of the “good old boys network”, and Obama has done nothing to indicate he is not part of that network. Nor has he said how he plans on supporting the Clinton followers, since he feels she is “old Washington & not a supporter of change”, I guess that means all her followers are too. So how can he support them? And oh…by the way, I too am not a “typcial white” woman, nor an uneducated old woman. Hmmm, I wonder what box Obama would put me in?

Reba-Sorry to disillusion you, but the Democratic Party of my experience is far from a good old boys network. Still if you feel that way you can change that just by joining your local Democratic Club or forming one of your own. The ones that I’ve belonged to in the past have had sometimes more women than men. Certainly the campaigns I’ve been involved in have had a lot of female leadership and not as figureheads or tokens. You can sit back and complain or do something counter-productive OR you can go out and make a difference your choice. At the national level the fact that Hillary is a close second currently indicates that there’s no glass ceiling here. She is falling behind in the popular vote and delegates. Those people that have spoken so far aren’t choosing Barack over Hillary because he’s a man and she’s a woman. They both have what it takes and I know a lot of female Barack supporters that aren’t black, my wife among them. What will you do if Hillary endorses Barack? Go against her wishes? Who did you vote for in the last election? Mosely-Braun was running. She dropped out pretty early. Would you have supported her? See I think you’re a republican plant. Like all the other dirty tricks from them I’ve seen over the years. Like Limbaugh’s 68 in 08 campaign.

Hillary can’t run as an independent, James R, because she has said she’ll support Obama if he is the nominee. It would be difficult to not keep that pledge. But a write-in campaign (which I support, by the way) could be conducted without her knowledge, instigation or support.

I’ve seen some numbers indicating that a write-in campaign couldn’t produce enough votes to do anything other than give the election to McCain. I don’t know if that is correct or not.

A lot of people feel strongly enough that they want to register a protest vote, but it seems far preferable to write in Hillary’s name.

I have waited a lifetime to vote for a woman of her caliber. I will never forget my father saying that he would vote for a woman for president “if she were qualified”, in a tone of voice that said there was no way a woman would EVER be qualified. Hillary Clinton has been vilified in every way a human can BE vilified, and in no way worse than when MEN are denigrating her for being a WOMAN!! She is the smartest, most intelligent, most educated, and MOST experienced person running for this office. She is the best candidate for the job, and I WILL cast my vote for HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON!!! IF I HAVE TO WRITE IT IN MYSELF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My sentiments also. As of this Sunday Morning, after listening to all the pundits, I am much more determined to write in Hillary Clinton and cast my vote for the person who would be the best President for the coming years. It is not sour grapes, it is not racism, it is my deepest of feelings that our time, this time, requires experience, intelligence and the ability to win. We cannot afford to lose! Senator Clinton has truly taken away votes from McCain, due in part her husbands guidance of a grand economy. McCain will get all the votes of the coolaid drinkers that is pretty much 1/2 of the country. Barr will get the stronger Libertarian vote, due in part to Ron Paul, Nader will get is co-horts of political destruction, so on and so on. If we who are part of the larger popular vote, stick together and write in Hillary Clinton she can take the election away from both the coolaid drinkers and those that believe Senator Obama can overcome the racism and attacks that will be flung at him…non the least will be the reparations argument, the lack of experience, his connection to Farrakhan, ( which is about to explode across the nation, as soon as he claims the nomination). No one in the media has reported that Senator Obama and Louis Farrakhan are neighbors. How they have missed this point, how they don’t find it relevant that Senator Obama came up with a formidable amount of money to run his campaign and how that all ties in with his neighbor Farrakhan is just numbing. I will vote for the person who will be the best President and that is Hillary Clinton.

Hillary or Hell…These are our only true options.
She may be a really great woman, but she is also the true Leader of the bunch and the only one with “Huevos”…the only “man” of the group and that doesn’t say much about her opponents!

I am American first and only, and Party Loyalties have gotten America into this fine mess we are in!

Hillary is the only one with a real head on her shoulders!

Mc Cain is really a moderate, and I believe that he is recently “Hawkish” in order to gain the nomination of his party. But after being trashed by the Bushies for the last 2 elections, he has just smiled back and I feel that his integrity has diminished.

There is no way on earth that I can vote for Mr. Obama. He is an admitted, helpless nicotine drug addict who cannot kick his drug habit and chews the nicotine gum every day. That shows me a fundamental flaw and these are not good character traits for a Presidential candidate to have.

I saw a special on CNN last evening that uncovered some scary personality flaws in Obama: In his first run for public office, he used his new law graduate knowledge to eliminate two political competitors from the ballot in an unethical and big-politics manner, so they would have no chance from the beginning to compete with him…..”Ruthless” in my view!

He is a nice guy from what I see and hear, but do not be deceived by this appearance, and beware of his cunning and ruthless potential. Will he abandon Israel as Carter seems to want to do? Will he forsake our position of strength in the name of being nice to everyone equally?

There is only one group that disgusts me as much as the Right-Wing Religious Law-breaking nuts that have run this beautiful country of ours into the ground for the last 8 years, and those are the Left-Wing nut jobs who will take us to the very same point in the circle of politics but from the other direction, and have us sing Kumbaya, while they dip into our pockets for their extreme crusade giveaway! These are the Obama Freaks who don’t seek to bring us back to “Moderation”, but to drive us all to the other end of the political spectrum in revenge for the last 8 years of hell, and drag us through the mud in the process! They have no respect for Women it seems.

The thing that disgusts me the most is that many people, possibly including you,the Hillary supporters, is that everyone seems to have forgotten where this country and our economy was during the Clinton Years!
Remember the good times, the wealth, the Dot Com wealth that many people shared in? Remember the way that almost ALL minorities felt in the way the Clintons treated them? The Clintons were loved similar to the way the Kennedys were loved around the world. And now most people have forgotten all the good that the Clintons had done for this country and for the world! The world loved America in those days! And we were proud and happy!
We have bought into the Right-Wing BS about the Clintons!

Hillary is the one: Optivus in Latin! She was the one that got Bill back in as Governor after he was thrown out in the early days! She is the Brains. She is the Class! She is the heart and soul of the Democratic party and we can’t handle her brilliance and her Fight! Her Fight! Some people attack her as being devisive to the party. I’m sorry, but her strength in the face of attacks and smears from her own party shows just what a fighter she is…a fighter that We Need for our cause as Americans!

I will not submit to pressure from those who would have us support a wishy washy feel-good candidate who cannot even control his addictions, nor a candidate who compromises his principles to gain the support of his right wing party voters in order to gain their support….McCain is also weak in this manner.

Honestly, they are all a vast improvement over our present King in the White House, but we deserve lots more that those guys have to offer!

For me its Hillary all the way.

If Lieberman can win in face of these leftist nuts, than surely Hillary can work something better out for us moderate patriotic Americans who want their country back…maybe there are Moderate Republicans who want no part of the loose ends…of the political spectrum and will vote for this wonderful lady…always my first lady and my president-to-be!

Hillary Locuta Est….Causa Finita Est!
Hillary has spoken, the matter is closed!

Vici-McCain is a moderate only if you are to the right of Rush, and Hannity. He has voted with Bush policies 85% of the time, and the 15% where he didn’t rubber stamp Bush weren’t what I would call major disagreements, or even that significant.

There has been a lot of talk today that if Hillary doesn’t get the nomination, that she may still be chosen as a running mate, but I think a better place for her as was suggested today would be the Supreme Court.
