In Philly, Hillary meets with 50 Black Ministers and NAACP Board Members

Just tweets. There should be a write-up coming. When Sanders blasted her at his event for being at a fundraiser (for the DNC, or so I read) this happened...

So while he riled his crowd to boo her, Hillary's campaign shot off the press release about her meeting with this other group.

She probably did the fundraiser for dinner and this after. 50 different ministers from all over would have been really hard to arrange. They must have been there for a conference or something. I'm glad she made the time. Iowa really eats up a lot of the calendar.

It was actually a fundraiser for the Democratic National Party and will be used to elect Democrats to the Senate to support Mrs. Clinton.

You know, the thing Bernie's mostly ignoring and the massive elephant in the room...

He came across as a bit shady when he was a San Francisco supervisor but most of the San Francisco supervisors come across as a bit shady.

He did however speak out against Prop 8 which pissed a lot of people off. It took guts for him to do that.

Hillary is running a national campaign.

She can't afford a 'one state at a time' strategy.

Maybe she is even more like President Obama than we thought - they both can do more than one thing at a time?

in which Hillary went out of her way to rile up a crowd to boo a primary opponent? I'd not enjoy learning she had and I have a sense she's better than that.
