That was Jimmy Carter when asked whether or not he would, as a Super Delegate, support the candidate he voted for in Georgia's primary. His comment speaks volumes about the current state of the race; whether genuine or not, Carter summed up what is currently happening in the Democratic Primary race. Call it buyers' remorse, call it disenchantment, call it whatever you please, but it is obvious that the media, the punditry, and the voters are swiftly changing their minds.
We are starting to see the effects of this shift taking place, just as a reminder:
Now I know that Obama's campaign is drip drip dripping their endorsements out to make it seem like there is some sort of momentum behind his campaign- but its just a strategy- it is absolutely nothing to be concerned about. If Obama had the Super Delegates at this point, this race would be over. Supers are waiting for something.
Generally, I prefer to delve into some sort of introspective dialog of Linc past and present, but I will spare you today.
Instead I will beseech:
Write to your Super Delegates, your congress critters, your party leaders. Politely implore them to support Senator Clinton. You know the key points and you know, taking direction from Hillary, how to be gracious. We need a sustained campaign of contact with every. Single. Super. Delegate.Yes, include those that currently support Senator Obama. The theme is electability- we need... no we MUST win in November and Obama just isn't going to do it for us. In simpler terms, it's the electability, stupid.
Write to them- convince them that we need a candidate who will win in November. Jimmy Carter said it best- its `unless I change my mind'. Well, let's help our Supers out.
I will be writing to the Colorado Supers that have endorsed Obama or haven't endorsed at all. I will keep everyone updated on the dialog.
And since I have finally figured out how to post video in diaries (thank you Nobama, I think...), here is Easley's new ad for Hillary in NC! Its good.
