We're not finished folks - not by a long shot!

Open Thread: The Brave 300 (to Victory!)

by: Alegre

Fri Aug 01, 2008 at 23:48:31 PM EDT


To paraphrase the closing lines of this kickass video by Hillacrat...

Ask yourself my dearest SuperDelegates - what would a free Democrat do?

We need 300 delegates to step up to the plate and help get Hillary's name into nomination.  Are you up to the task?

I'm sure we'll be hearing more about this in the next week or two - but just think about who's better prepared to take on McCain and take us to Victory in November.  Which Democrat will put our party back in control of the Oval Office after eight - long - years?

In the meantime - this is an open thread.  What's on your mind?

vim and vigor (0.00 / 0)

Vim usually goes together with vigor, so it looks funny by itself.

It's actually a Latin word, meaning strength.

Hillary schools BO supporter... (0.00 / 0)
I believe this was when a bot asked her, "What are you going to do to support Obama" or some such:



Medicare for All is Civil Rights

Oh, thank you so much. (0.00 / 0)
That was just great!

Amazing - she gets it. "Obama supporters need to understand (0.00 / 0)
how my supporters feel." And it comes from the top. Obama needs to tell his supporters this.

I sure hope the shoe goes back to the rightful foot -- the foot a majority voted for! And I'm sure the Obama people will come around quickly.

when asked (0.00 / 0)
Hillary said it will never happen.  I don't know if I agree with her. All it takes is some courage.  I know, it's in short supply, she's probably right.  

Hillary - alternative energy
Well, imagine she had said, yeah, that could happen. (0.00 / 0)
That would have been a shot heard round the world.  The media, Obama Campaign, hell the Repubs, people everywhere would have freaked out.  Oh, and it would be the surest way of making sure her name wasn't put in nomination.

I hear you. (0.00 / 0)
First time I've seen this of the three videos. Wow. There is no comparing Obama with this Senator.

Who is qualified to lead and to represent the United States of America?

She has my deepest respect.

But I will NOT vote for Obama.

Have you seen this? another satire of press corps.  It was part of Jay Leno riff.  You have to go through a short ad first (and you can skip the rest of Leno's monologue).

Big Tent Democrat has a great post (0.00 / 0)
at  TalkLeft about how the Obama campaign is finding itself in very uncomfortable territory now that the McCain camp is accusing it of playing the race card.  Why?
Because of the many instances when Obama did the very same thing to Hillary Clinton.  There is a whole treasure trove of examples, right out in the open and ripe for the picking.    In particular, BTD cites the nasty Bob Herbert.

It's well worth the read.  


I was called a racist in that thread (0.00 / 0)
I am so sick of this. Another black candidate would have been MUCH more responsible with this issue. Colin Powell, Corey Booker, anybody.

Obama is inflaming racial tensions, not quelling them.

"Puma-SF, on August 2nd, 2008 at 1:13 am Said:

Can you guys comment here. I spoke to this woman about the event yesterday."

[Below is the link Puma-SF gave. I don't want to put a quotation mark with it.]

http://www.cqpolitics.com/wmsp...

what is the question? (0.00 / 0)
I want her nominated and I want her to win. She says that being in nomination will help unite, and I agree. She says that he winning won't happen, and she may be right, but the entire point of being in nomination is that it's real, so there is a chance, however small.  Some of us want her to be the VP candidate, because we want the best chance of winning and we'd feel better about him if she were close by and he'd have direct access to her experience, plans, and competence.

But, what is the question you're asking?  Please be specific?  

Hillary - alternative energy

Sorry, I wasn't clear. (0.00 / 0)
I'm asking people to help Puma-SF by going to the link she provided and commenting.

Puma-SF seems to have been the person that "broke the story" countering disinformation by CNN and a story in a NY rag that Senator Clinton had said she didn't want to be put into nomination--the story of what really happened as recorded in the video above.

Puma-SF asked people on another blog, "Can you guys comment here. I spoke to this woman about the event yesterday." as I quoted above. I copied her request here. I think it would be helpful to have some more PUMA comments as requested at that location.

MSM Exposure (0.00 / 0)
Has anybody tried to get the MSM to show this?  I know that some videos were shown on TV during the primaries for news stories as an example of what's going on.
