1. no fuss - no muss

You are a time-saver SaveElmer! :)

[SaveElmer]

2. I try to be helpful when I can...

:-)

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. *Whew!* Glad to see my congressguy isn't on the list!

Elsewise he'd be hearing from me, tout suite. But somehow I didn't expect to see the name of very progressive, antiwar Keith Ellison..

[SaveElmer]

5. If I still lived in MN...he would be my Congressman...

My family is in his district...

He is doing a nice job...and showed alot of guts on the Iraq funding vote...

And I live in Virginia where we are cursed by Virgil Goode...Keith did a nice job of making him look like an idiot!!!

btw: Liberal progressive Jim McGovern is on that list...

[durrrty libby]

6. Great list and it will surely grow

[Adelante]

4. Thanks, Elmer

No Rangel? I thought he had endorsed.

[SaveElmer]

10. I think he is endorsing Obama...

Nice pickup for him if that is the case...not sure it is official though...

[ElizabethDC]

11. I think he is planning to endorse Hillary

but hasn't officially done so yet. He's given indications that he was leaning toward Hillary, but that was a few weeks ago.

[SaveElmer]

12. I've heard it both ways...

Guess we will have to wait and see...

[SaveElmer]

16. I'm an idiot...I was thinking of COnyers...

Rangel did endorse Hillary!

[Adelante]

18. OK, I thought so nt

[zulchzulu]

7. 22 of 33 are from NY...

Good for her!

[primative1]

20. Hadnt noticed that ...

Very impressive

[SaveElmer]

29. And 9 out of Obama's 17 are from Illinois...

So not only does Hillary have more endorsements, she has a higher percentage in her home state, and more from outside her home state...

[zulchzulu]

35. Do you have that list?

You mentioned 17...is there a verifiable list that you have available...

[SaveElmer]

45. Got to "The Hill"...

[durrrty libby]

14. A cry for help indeed.

[Forkboy]

15. LOL

Maybe cuz they're Jokers? ;)

[WildEyedLiberal]

26. LOL great post

:rofl:

[rpannier]

9. Look at all those false Democrats...

Man, I hope they all get beaten in 2008. I'd rather have Republicans representing those districts than these corporatist, pseudo-republikkan congresspersons.


Just curious...do I have the talking point down correctly?

on note: In case you can't tell...:sarcasm:

[calteacherguy]

39. She might think twice about advertising the Gray Davis endorsement. nt

[Clark2008]

49. I have a real question for you and I'm seriously not flaming you

but, how much do you think she'll lose Alabama by? Because there's no way on this earth she'll win it.

My thought is that we should put up a candidate who may not WIN in Alabama or Georgia or Mississippi, but would be competitive enough where the RNC will have to spend money in some Southern states and pull it away from more swing states (BTW, just so you know, I don't see that we have a candidate of this nature in our so-called front-runners, so it's not just HRC that would have this problem.)

It won't even be a contest with her as our nominee in those states (and more).

Again, this is NOT a flame. This is reality asking a question.

[Alamom]

52. To be completely honest,

at this early date in the campaigns, I don't have a clue to any of the questions you ask.

I'm sure you're basing your assumptions on past voting trends..... however, I feel & I'll stress, I do not know or predict, but feel, voting trends could possibly change..... or maybe not.

After 6-8 years of this administration, I'm not sure what to expect. I think a lot of people have had all they want of conservative leadership. I have heard and believe there will be more people voting for a Democrat..... maybe.

I do disagree regarding HRC. If she is the nominee, I believe there will be more of a contest in many states than we've seen in a while.


In 5-6 months, the reality should be a little more clear.

[troubleinwinter]

19. So you figure that THREE threads in a day, where you don't

find the responses to your liking will suddenly change non-Hillary supporters into supporters?

Wisconsin "officials" and congresspeople don't cast my primary vote. I do. And it won't be for Hillary.

[SaveElmer]

21. Just trying to consolidate them into one...

Just wanna be helpful!!

[JeffR]

22. Have to disagree, troubleinwinter

The first two threads, I thought, "Pfffft". But by the third, the scales had fallen from my eyes. I realize now that all my political convictions are trifles. I'm now a Clinton supporter.

Furthermore, I realize now that those who do not support Clinton's candidacy - wretched apostates like I was until today - are merely:

• "haters"
  
  
• "bashers"
  
  
• jealous
  
  
• misogynists
  
  
• wild-eyed fringe radicals dooming the Democratic Party to permanent minority status
  
  
• and let's not forget: "naive"
  

Get with the program, my friend. Life is so much easier now that I have all the answers. I'm going to try the Senator's famous cookie recipe next, after I check to make sure no-one's burning my flag.

[SaveElmer]

27. Sounds like someone is getting defensive...

With a little dash of paranoia tossed in...

[JeffR]

32. 18 months out from the election, I just find the candidate-pimping absurd

Clinton has my vote if she's the nominee, BTW - I've voted for candidates I have little real enthusiasm for, if the alternatives are even less inspiring, or worse, Republicans. But frankly, the Senator is about as inspiring as a dirty gym sock.

I'd be defensive if I had anything to defend in these little navel-gazing sessions. All I want is a Democrat in the White House in '08. Lots of good ones to choose from, at least...

[SaveElmer]

46. Well everything has started earlier than usual...

But as too whether it is too early we will see...since so many have announced and are in campaign mode, this might just be the way it is from now on...

And though it is 18 months away from the general, it is only 8 or 9 till the primaries...

[Alexander]

38. No, it sounds like someone is on to you...

And your win-at-any-cost tactics when it comes to defending St. Hillary.

In Arizona's primary, she won't be getting my vote. If she happens to win the nomination, though, she will get my vote in the GE.

Yet her supporters here - including you - have, on numerous occasions, accused me and others of "hating" Senator Clinton.

NEWSFLASH: Just because someone isn't getting my primary vote doesn't mean I hate them.

Otherwise, to be fair, you'd have to accuse me of hating John Kerry and all the other 2004 contenders besides Howard Dean.

BTW, if you want to make sure DUers don't ever vote for Senator Clinton, continue to accuse them of being paranoid and hateful. In short, just keep on doing what you're doing. I can't believe you guys think these tactics are endearing us to Hillary's candidacy. :eyes:

[Forkboy]

42. Two reasons why you shouldn't base your vote on a candidates supporters..

1:It's stupid and shallow.

2:What if swaying your vote from said candidate is what they wanted all along?

For the record - I don't believe for one second that SaveElmer is trying to accomplish the second objective...and that only leaves option 1.

[Alexander]

53. I never said I was. Don't put words in my mouth.

Please point to where I claimed the supporters of a candidate would determine my vote, because my memory's pretty good and I don't ever remember saying anything of the kind.

"1:It's stupid and shallow."

Agreed, but I shouldn't be the target of this - I made up my mind not to vote for Senator Clinton in the primaries a long time ago.

"2:What if swaying your vote from said candidate is what they wanted all along?"

With the way the Hillary supporters keep acting, it wouldn't surprise me to find a couple of them were trying to do exactly that. Accusing others of hate, worshipping a candidate like a god and generally being intolerant and petulant when faced with disagreement does not seem like it would be a winning tactic.

[Forkboy]

56. I didn't put words into your mouth.

Made a simple statement based on the last three sentences of your post.

BTW, if you want to make sure DUers don't ever vote for Senator Clinton, continue to accuse them of being paranoid and hateful. In short, just keep on doing what you're doing. I can't believe you guys think these tactics are endearing us to Hillary's candidacy.


Nothing more,nothing less.What you read into that is up to you. :shrug:

[SaveElmer]

47. ....

NEWSFLASH: Just because someone isn't getting my primary vote doesn't mean I hate them.

NEWSFLASH: I never said you did...

I only point out instances where people are being hateful...When it is true...if you can't see the bile that is spewed at Hillary around here, in outlandish proportion to any other Democrat(although Edwards seems to be increasingly targeted), then you are simply are not paying attention...

[Alexander]

54. It's only "hate" when it's YOUR candidate being criticized.

"I only point out instances where people are being hateful...When it is true...if you can't see the bile that is spewed at Hillary around here, in outlandish proportion to any other Democrat(although Edwards seems to be increasingly targeted), then you are simply are not paying attention..."

Don't be silly. The vast preponderance of DUers hold exactly the same position I do - NO to Hillary in the primaries, YES if she's in the General Election. Did we "hate" John Kerry too?

You can't come up with a single instance of "hate" or "bile" and you know it. You whine and play the victim when in reality, it's the Hillary supporters who break the rules all the time with insults and personal attacks, with tacit approval of certain moderators.

[SaveElmer]

55. You are kidding right....

How many times have you seen the word "whore" as it applied to Hillary...or the "B" word...or worse(which are thankfully removed). If you say you haven't seen it then you are truly not paying attention...or don't care...

[troubleinwinter]

30. I am mortified and ashamed.

I wish I'd listened to Fox sooner... they have told me from the very beginning that Hillary is the one for me!

How could I have been so foolish as to have a different opinion?

Can I have that recipe? I can see I'm going to have a lot of free time on my hands.

[JeffR]

33. You can work up to it. You'll have help -

it takes a village, I hear.

[William769]

23. How many threads have you posted the comment that it won't be for Mrs. Clinton?

[troubleinwinter]

25. I'm pretty sure just one in my life.

[William769]

24. That List will grow by the Month, and thats a good thing!

I am reminded of what happened to me in the 90's I think might be relevant here. Everyone I knew said they Didn't vote vote Mr. Clinton and couldn't understand how he became President. My response was always the same "well If no one voted for Mr. Clinton, I must be a very important person, because I voted for him and he's Presdient!" I hope the same holds true for Mrs. Clinton.

[IndianaGreen]

31. Tom Lantos is an AIPAC puke that supported the war in Iraq to protect Israel

and is now doing the same in regards to Syria and Iran.

[IndianaGreen]

36. The Iraq War has many fathers, and one of them is named Tom Lantos

This is what Lantos told his Knesset pal in Israel:

October 25, 2002

Lantos' Big Lie:

The Pro-War Congressman Calls for Replacing Saddam with a Pro-West "Dictator"

by BEN TERRALL

California Congressman Tom Lantos has never been accused of understatement. But he may have set a new personal record for bombast when, as quoted in the September 30, 2002 edition of the Israeli newspaper Ha'aretz, he told Minister of Knesset Colette Avital, "My dear Colette, you won't have any problem with Saddam. We'll be rid of the bastard soon enough. And in his place we'll install a pro-Western dictator, who will be good for us and for you."

After U.S. activists publicized the story, Lantos called it a "total fabrication". He added, "I am amused by the comments Ha'aretz attributes to me, because they fly in the face of my lifetime of work. I am a firm supporter of democracy."

Since I have been working with Lantos' anti-war/pro-civil liberties challenger Maad Abu-Ghazalah, I e-mailed MK Colette Avital for clarification. I received the following response:

" I can confirm that the story is accurate. In fact, I myself was surprised and pained by Congressman Lantos' comments. Since he is a friend of Israel and I have had a long friendship with him, I did not want to react to his denial, or to further embarrass him. Sincerely, Colette Avital, M.K."

40. You are more clever than you need to be!

:-)

[Capn Sunshine]

41. too clever by half

but I've always admired that about Hillary. Good people on that list; I've given $ and manpower to a couple.

[JNelson6563]

43. Here, this might help

Drag this around to complete the martyr routine:



I don't much care for the candidate bashing but until I see Hillary supporters foregoing opportunities to bash others, I can't have a whole lot of sympathy.

You may want to re-think your (whiney) approach to this.

Just sayin'

Julie

[William769]

50. You so funny.

:rofl:

And you are something else, but it is against DU rules to say so.

[mmonk]

44. Much better.

[Clark2008]

48. Wow! Look at all the blue-bubble people!

Look, I don't bash Hillary - I don't dislike her, but I simply don't think she can win because she won't have the support to flip any red or purple states.

I mean, look at the list above. With the exception of a couple of people in Florida and Texas (and one in Ohio), there's not much by the way of broad appeal there.

I'll even hold my nose and vote for her in a general election, knowing that she'll still lose my purple state by 20 percent, but I don't expect much out of her, particularly if Fred Thompson is the nominee (and if he is, she'll lose my state by more than 30 percent).
