Oh, I see (2.00 / 1)

Maybe he didn't really back off it.

Maybe I shouldn't listen to Mark Halperin.

Never mind.

Re: Oh, I see (2.00 / 1)

Email Patrick Leahy.

senator_leahy@leahy.senate.gov

Tell him that his climb onto the "BigBoyz to Hillary: Drop Dead" bandwagon is the problem, not Hillary staying in the race.  Tell him the problem is not Hillary damaging Barack, but rather Barack and his BigBoyz club pissing off women (remember -- we're the majority!) so badly with their sneering and bullying they ain't never comin' back.  Hillary dropping dead is not going to solve that problem.  The faint appearance of fairness and neutrality might help.

Just called him. Said that very thing - politely. (2.00 / 1)

Really shows their stripes, doesn't it?  Emily's list is going to see a windfall of cash that once went to the DNC.

Yes I agree! (none / 0)

Obama has lots of money and sure his supporters will give him more. If Hillary isn't the nominee going to lend my support to the other democratic candidates especially if they are pro-choice women.  Obama will probably get my vote but don't know about the other pro-Hillary women I know who have been greatly offended by her treatment in this campaign.

Women Will Vote Democratic (2.00 / 0)

I think most prochoice Democratic women when given the chance to vote for mcCain to put the final nail in the coffin of Roe v. Wade will remain loyal Democrats.

Re: Women Will Vote Democratic (none / 0)

I think you're right in many cases, and in no way am I advocating a vote for McCain.  But there is a deep and growing anger out here, and the likely result is women will stay home, in sufficient numbers, given we're the majority -- repeat: majority -- to cost democrats the election.  Denying it will not help.

Re: Women Will Vote Democratic (2.00 / 1)

But don't you see that a decision to stay home is the same as a vote for McCain, and hence a vote to destroy Roe vs. Wade?  Can any of us, as feminists, and mothers, take that chance?  My daughter's right to choose is too important to me.  I would, and will, vote for any democrat running against McCain, no matter who they are.

Re: Women Will Vote Democratic (none / 0)

has anyone done a tally of prolifers that have gone Obama's way?  I do not think endorsements from Pat Casey does Obama any favors with women. I agree with the poster above-women (and a bunch of major supporters) might get pretty picky if Hillary get bullied out of the race.
See the latter written to Pelosi from Saban, Bob Johnson, Patricofs, et al. to shut up and let the process continue through PR. If I am in agreement with the major supporters of the Democratic party, then it is safe to say that frustration with this push out is widespread.

Re: Women Will Vote Democratic (none / 0)

If you are in California, your daughter will be able to have an abortion legally. If R vs W is overturned I bet the decision on abortions will go back to the states. If your daughter were in Alabama, Mississippi or some similar state, she'd be taking a trip by plane. That being said, I am willing to bet that is not going to factor into the thoughts of some of these pissed off, mad female voters. I think that's how mad some of them are over the treatment of Clinton by the Big Boyz Blogs and others.

Re: Oh, I see (none / 0)

I think you have no idea what's going on out there.  You can call it "silly, silly" but it's real, and it's going to bite back.

Re: Oh, I see (1.00 / 1)

Um Scoreboard. I think we (obama supporters) have a pretty good idea what's going on out there. OTOH, you folks might want to take a deep breath and start to look at things objectively. Your candidate, as great as you think she is, is D-O-N-E.

TR for yelling at supporters rather than the candidates.

Let's cool down a little (none / 0)

I think I only can respond by making the following pledge to you and all Clinton supporters. I promise to fully support the Democratic nominee and will work tirelessly to put that person in the white house! Be it Hillary or Obama. I promise!

Re: Oh, I see (1.00 / 1)

so women are just 'silly'? do you really think that helps?

Who called women silly? (none / 0)

What makes you think I was calling woman silly? I was calling your statement silly. If you are a woman you shouldn't assume everyone who critiques you is doing it because you are a woman. Thats paranoid.
