WLST readers: I have no idea who Jay M or Ed Hale are but I’ve sent them emails with the advice that they either keep their personal attacks offline and/or at someone else’s blog, or the comments will be edited and/or deleted.

Jay: [edited for personal attack] you are a[sic] Obama supporter. It was this website that got and send out to all of you, the names, email address and phone numbers of the DNC rules Committee. We have also obtained the email address of all of the super delegates who are uncommitted. Now tell me what your organization has done beside organize a bus trip to DC on the 31st. Who do you think will have a greater impact on the super delegates – you and your few people standing accross the street when the members arrive or the millions of email they have got from real live people.
[edited out for personal attack] Jay, we are taking back this country.
Folks, [edited out for peronal attack] These people who claim to be Clinton Supporters Count too are nothing but Obama supporters, out to derail this cause. They claim that they have 1000’s of member, but I have yet to hear them contact any of these so called member. I am on their mailing list and I have recieved not emails from them. They use every dirty trick they can.
Now you tell me who is the fake and fraud?

The group that Ed Hale is promoting in his posts is a counterfeit website. See this link:

Jan – I did respond a bit to one of your direct questions re: what do I want – what do I see as the top priorities. I agree with your approach that we need to define the common issues and identify who has a plan that we can accept to deal with those issues. But you know – I thought Biden did, and Dodd and Richardson, but not enough other people did. That’s our system and that’s how we get to where we are today, for better or worse.

So – you and I at least discussed what our agenda is – but I didn’t really set up the title or the content of this particular post to discuss agenda stuff – best for another post.

How about YOU start a blog for that?

Marc,

I am beginning to believe some women (and many Americans) are not too smart. We are not thinking about the bigger issues. Forget barack Obama! What about the bigger agenda…

It’s funny to me how none of the women who write in are willing to respond to my questions about what they want a president to do about the bigger problems and what does it mean to be a Democrat or a Republican?

What’s our agenda?

I bet all these Obama haters are just Republicans. I can’t believe lefty women would be this stupid. Obama has not said one sexist thing about Senator Clinton, and has praised her many times. To be against Obama because of media bias is stupid, and I don’t think women are stupid.

[...] an unprecedented amount of back and forth about Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton and John McCain, here, here and here. I’ve written before about how neither Obama or Clinton satisfy me and [...]

Here are the numbers from Real Clear Politics Website:

Here is the page you were referring to:
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2008/president/democratic_vote_count.html

The ‘**’ next to the total refers to a footnote at the bottom of the page which says: “**(Senator Obama was not on the Michigan Ballot and thus received zero votes. Uncommitted was on the ballot and received 238,168 votes as compared to 328,309 for Senator Clinton.)”

In order to believe that the totals you listed were correct, you must believe that Obama would receive no votes in Michigan.

By the way, it’s not Hillary’s problem or the voters’ problem or our democratic country’s problem that Obama foolishly chose to take his name off the MI ballot.

Edwards, Richardson and Biden also removed their names. If they did anything foolish it was to believe that everyone would play by the rules they’d all agreed to. Hillary’s exact words, regarding the Michigan were “It’s clear, this election they’re having is not going to count for anything”

Maybe this is just a place to vent and place blame on each candidate.

I really think we need to figure out who is going to get us out of the slide we are on!

McCain didn’t even vote for the GI Bill that was passed by the Senate today! He was a POW and now he doesn’t think the vets should get an increase in their benefits???

Something is not adding up with his rhetoric. I thought he was pretty cool back in 2000. Now he has lobbyist running his campaign, after all of us talk about campaign reform and he doesn’t back the bill supported even by Republicans to help our veterans.

Think long and very hard before you cut off your nose to spite your healthcare, gas and food prices and anything else on the Democratic agenda you want passed.

Hey folks…

There is no real way to come up with REAL numbers for ANY of the caucuses.

Second…

I asked this yesterday.

What do you want a president to FIX in this country and what is it about being a DEMOCRAT that is different from being a REPUBLICAN?
