Women Tell Dems to Slow Down While McCain Ponders Vice Presidential Step
"Not so fast." That's the message the political action committee WomenCount is sending to the Democratic Party. The PAC ran full-page ads in major U.S. newspapers this week urging Sen. Hillary Clinton to stay in the race until "every vote is counted."
Many of these and other Democratic women blame misogyny in the media and by Democratic Party leaders for tanking Clinton's campaign and say they'll vote Republican in November in retaliation if they do not believe Clinton's supporters are treated fairly. The PAC is also organizing a Washington, D.C., rally for May 31—the date the Democratic National Committee convenes its Rules and Bylaws Committee to make a final decision on how or whether to count the 2.4 million votes cast by Florida and Michigan voters. Meanwhile, this weekend, Sen. John McCain meets with three potential vice presidential nominees, including 36-year-old Indian-American Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, who could inoculate the McCain campaign against questions of age and lack of diversity and appeal to Christian conservatives. Jindal is playing coy and saying he won't be offered the VP position and that he "has the job" he wants, anyway. Republicans, according to politico.com, do not have a single candidate of color who has a chance of winning the office of governor, U.S. representative, or senator this fall.

Father Day Reflection on Election Campaign 2008 :
Father Day Reflection on Election Campaign 2008 :
Election 2008 is not a election but a decision for homecoming. Americans are on the crossroad of homecoming or to the abyss. They are currently facing Great Depression II and the only conscious solution is to repeat what they had done in the last Depression and emerged as a much stronger country. In the 1930s Americans were smart enough not to elect a politician as president but to return home to their parents, FDR and Eleanor Roosevelt, who had nurtured them back to health and wealth. Today, we are facing the same dilemma, should Americans elect a radical politician who has given them empty promises? Or, to return home to their parents, John and Hillary? The choice is really quite simple. Obama and Black supporters reminisced wrestlers whose matches are pre-arranged and play by hitting under the belt theatrics causing economic downturn just to win. So, stop watching American games. Obama's white supporters are insulting their own race as incompetent and incapable of managing their own country . Whether Obama will be elected his "super delegates", who endorsed at other's expense, must be sentenced to live in Black neighborhoods for more than four years to find out what they are really like. The democratic governor of Oklahoma who had just endorsed Obama must be executed for causing their supernatural tornadoes. The communication media of the U. S. are circus clowns not worth commenting on because they have never given any honest election comments. American voters in general are "blind" to good judgement. Hillary Clinton, best American candidate in history, can be identified with a unspoiling mother who has wasted her own $10 million just to warn her stubborn and ignorance daughter not to date strangers in the street. John McCain who has shown the ability to set aside party differences for the common good, working relentless for the American by running on many elections and his decency has earned the trust of most Americans. Together as a team John and Hillary will carry Americans out of the current Great Depression. But will a good father send his children to early grave for a war that cannot be won? Happy Father Day!

Oops. Her mouth is worse, again.
Gotta update the last post. Just heard that Hillary today justified staying in the race into June, because June, after all was the month in 1968 when Robert F. Kennedy was assasinated--changing that year's presidential race.
Implying Obama might somehow get shot (or something) is both mean to all Democrats and incredibly stupid to boot. THIS KIND OF STUFF is why she is not winning, and this particular outrage may have just nixed her VP chances as well.
