I had to write this article. If the media did its job and did some reporting they probably would find that Obama doesn't have this magical ability to motivate voters, he has Senator Kerry and Senator Kennedy, super-delegates to remind you. Most have respected the
process of remaining neutral, but not these two.
Not only is Hillary running against Obama, she's running against the two Senators as well. John Kerry has been in Texas and I know Senator Kennedy has been in Ohio. I also was thinking about how most recently some of the big Labor unions endorsed Obama. Now, don't get me wrong, I support unions, big and small. But, Kerry and Kennedy have been strong supporters of unions for many years.
Oh, have I mentioned yet, that I'm glad Hillary won the state that these two Senators come from.
And, while we are talking about motivating "folks" to come out, well, it must be really easy when Senator Kerry offers his mailing list from when he ran for President. I tell you, I was so angry when I got the first email, the second email, to ask for support for Obama and to donate money. I wrote back to the address that sent me the email and expressed my concern that when Senator Kerry got my email address, it was for his election. I continued to get emails and I wrote back saying that it could even be illegal and that I would contact the FCC if it didn't stop. I even wrote to the DNC to express my outrage that he would use email addresses that were NOT intended to be used beyond his campaign. I would imagine Senator Kennedy has a few connections.
Well, after all their muscle and money, Hillary is less than 100 delegates shy and I'm sure they are frustrated that Hillary is still standing.
Now they are saying for the party's sake, she should exit. No way! We, as women, are not going to be pushed around any more.
