Why are only the Clintons campaigning for Obama? There are plenty
of Senators and congress people who have good reputations that, in my opinion should be out there giving speeches for our Democratic party.

I am upset that the polls do not look so good right now. I hope this is just a little blip. Either way, it seems like other Democratic higher up could be out there talking. God knows they can!

1. It's hard to shake the feeling that it's largely Obama on his own.

5. Can't hurt. Might also be worthwhile to see what the Obama campaign says about it.

8. I just sent one of my Senator's, Bill Nelson, and asked him to help
Don't know what he'll do but it felt good to ask.

3. I would have been tempted to say
"But you did vote for Kerry didn't you?"

He fought; Bush didn't. Cheney didn't.

must be distressed about the way Palin handles Alaska. You'd think he'd stand up and say she is an environmental nightmare.

6. My Senator, Barbara Boxer, has been doing her fair share.
She's about the only one though, besides Clinton.
