Obama supporters! - A positive place to talk about his campaign

[Fitswimmer]

Let us know what's involved.

Just go to the Obama website and go to "make calls". You can call PA, Indiana or North Carolina. Once you log in, the system generates a list of 20 names. You click on your first name and you get the number, the name and a script to use. You just have to follow the prompts and enter your results. if you get a machine, just hit "leave message" and the script comes up for the message. If the person answers, you record their answers and that's it.

It took me less than an hour-but I did have a LOT of wrong numbers.

Nope-couldn't get off work. I had a training session that day and I couldn't get out of it.

I'm up in the Northwest section-Morris County.

Keith Olbermann tonight- WOW!!! He really tells it like it is. If you didn't see it, make sure not to miss the repeat.
Transcript: http://thenewshole.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/03/12/762678.aspx

His comments end this way:

"This, Senator Clinton, is your campaign, and it is your name.
Grab the reins back from whoever has led you to this precipice, before it is too late.
Voluntarily or inadvertently, you are still awash in this filth.
Your only reaction has been to disagree, reject, and to call it regrettable.
Her only reaction has been to brand herself as the victim, resign from your committee, and insist she will continue to speak.
Unless you say something definitive, Senator, the former Congresswoman is speaking with your approval.
You must remedy this.
And you must... reject... and denounce... Geraldine Ferraro.
Good night, and good luck."

KEITH OLBERMANN!

 

[crazyforgoofy]

I think I may have forgotten this if true, is Senator McCaskill an Obama supporter?

Glad to see the HuffingtonPost blog

I'm very proud to say Claire is MY U.S. Senator and a VERY STRONG supporter of Barack Obama!

 

[crazyforgoofy]

KEITH OLBERMANN!

 

[NewJersey]

We are now up by 127 delegates overall (more than pre-march 4) and 163 pledged delegates.

Our popular vote lead is 50-47% or a 703K vote lead.

KEITH OLBERMANN!

He is so good and so right when he says she is killing any Democrats chances of becoming president.

Hillary may win the battle but she will lose the war. Why haven't the party leaders said something to her? Howard Dean needs to grow a pair. She has got to stop doing the republicans dirty work for them.

I hope Obama wins so big in PA that she will have to get out.

 

[profdsny]

I think it's time someone made her an offer she can't refuse.

 

[chris1gill]

Making calls for Senator Obama as you read this....

I REALLY don't want to have to choose between McCain and Hillary.

How are your calls going? I'll be calling into PA, SC, and Indiana at the very least.

 

[chris1gill]

I want to vote FOR someone, not against the other candidate.

Are you calling PA?

And chris, good luck on the house!

Thanks! Hopefully you guys will be the first to here, just please cross your fingers....

 

[chris1gill]

I HATE the phone, so I really wasn't too keen on it either-but the website makes it really, really easy. They give you the script and they walk you through every situation. I left a few messages, got a few not interesteds, a LOT of wrong numbers and disconnected numbers and one really nice lady who wants to get involved!!

Fits was your script looking for volunteers outside the area? That's what they are looking for at the moment by the looks of it. All mine were looking for volunteers to go into PA....

After this it will be a list of PA voters with a different script. I also have my own cheat sheet of his accomplishments should anyone ask me since I can't remember all the legislation on my own....

This is ABSOLUTELY true, she is killing them both...... KO tonight was awesome...

Did everyone pick up that a full 24% of Hillary's support last night came from Republican's? Wonder why that is?

I just got finished watching Keith's show (DVR).
I so wanted him to say at the end....
"The American Public is expecting no more and no less than YOU expected from Obama about Farrakann. The American Public wants YOU to Denounce and Reject Ferraro."

My husband said tonight after his comments and the whole Michigan and Florida were "fair" contests that he will not under ANY circumstances pull the lever for Clinton.

I just don't understand how ANYONE can defend her tactics now. She is using Republican talking points, saying McCain is a better candidate than Obama, letting racist remarks slide, using FEAR (LIKE BUSH!!!!!!) to run on, saying contests like Michigan (where he wasn't even ON THE BALLOT) are fair, the whole VP thing, expecting him to reject and fire people for gaffs but not do the same on her side .. I just don't get it and I am sad for this development.

I will still pull the lever for her if I have to ONLY because of the Supreme court issue. But then as my DH said "Can you even trust her to do that?"

I can only imagine how much worse it will get in the next 6 weeks.

The funny thing to me is how the media is playing into to her.."you aren't treating me fair" woe is me. If it were ANYONE but her they would have stuck a fork in her BEFORE Ohio and Texas. Yes there was talk about math and the like but never a "you might as well quit" more of a "I don't see how". And NOW they are buying into her we can still win the popular vote.

I can only hope the American public votes on more than sound bites, gender and dreams of what it was like under Bill.

And yes if Obama was to make similar moves as her I would REJECT and DENOUNCE him too.

The point is you can never trust someone who tells mistruth's or turns the other cheek like she has on a daily basis. I wouldn't trust her judgment in any decision. I could throw at least a dozen things out there that she has done during this campaign that I am morally opposed to.... I cannot pull the lever for her. Prior to S. Carolina I could, but I have watched since then with dismay.

I agree, if Obama were to make similar moves I would expect him to reject and denounce said move... as he has done in the past, take Samantha Power for instance, she was gone by the morning.....

Unfortunately people who do not get involved in politics know her name, don't know him and will vote for her because the times under Clinton seem so golden to them.... Now we find Republican's voting for her in larger numbers, as in 20+ percentage point blocks....

This CNN commentary makes your case:
http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/03/12/navarette.opinion/?iref=mpstoryview

It concludes: "These mixed messages only reinforce the perception that Hillary Clinton will say anything to win. That could explain why she is having trouble accomplishing just that."

It's almost as if they are scared of the backlash from the *gasp* Clintons. Even if Obama wins by a vote in PA, she's done.
