Gov. Gregoire getting backlash from Hillary Voters?


I heard this tidbit from "Charlie", who's been phonebanking to drum up support for Goveror Gregoire's reelection campaign:

Charlie said Hillary supporters are telling him NO support for Gregoire because she endorsed Obama. Presumably these are former supporters on the phonelist.

He told me these disgruntled Hillary supporters apparently consider Gregoire to have betrayed HIllary, because as a woman elected official she SHOULD've endorsed her.

I don't know how many told him this; I know when I'm phonebanking, just a few negative reactions squawking in my ear can put a big dent in my optimism.

Charlie thought it was evidence Hillary should be put on the ticket, to appease angry supporters. I think NOT, because her inclusion would negate much of Obama's message and upset the other (larger) half of the Democratic campaigners.

I think the Hillary supporters that the phonebanker spoke of are at that stage of loss that they want to see someone punished for Hillary's downfall; a solicitation for Gregoire would be a perfect opportunity to punish her. If that makes them feel vindicated, fine.

There must be far more voters in this state who would double their 2004 support for Gregoire because she DID take the chance of endorsing Obama. I would! Well...since zero doubled is still zero, I'd MORE than double my support.

At the rally pictured above, Chris Gregoire proved she was a dynamite speaker and campaigner. I shook the Governor's hand and thanked her for endorsing Obama. "You got it!" she said with a thumbs-up.

Put Hillary on Obama's ticket?
Yes, this would heal the rift in the party.
Maybe, but the thought makes me uncomfortable.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO....

Wrong read, IMO.  And the reverse reads like Driving Miss Daisy  Bad in either direction.

Gregoire is not known as a particularly good campaigner, and she needs the coattails.

anyone they disagreed with ...

OOOOPS!  they didn't ignore anyone! they SMEARED ALL Dem opponents using fascist memes / thug talking points / republican talking points.

Guess what DLC'er 'moderates', 'independents', 'swing voters' ??

YOU'VE BEEN USED AND LIED TO. PERIOD.

Either throw off decades of fear of how the fascists will lie about the Dems and call them DFH's, and then we'll nominate someone who isn't electable (NOT Dukakis, Gore, Kerry ... ha ha ha) AND then we'll lose ...

ooops! shit !!  we've been losing for decades! who'd a thunk?

Guess what DLC'ers - --- time to figure out how to join the other 80% of America

OR

Join the stooges who think the Republican party gives a shit about anyone other than those getting 8+ figures a year in interest income.

I guareentee that over 80% of Americans:

  • do NOT want someone else's pastor, priest, rabbi, guru, sage ... in their doctor's office,

  • do NOT want the government telling them to say pledges at certain times of the day to false images,

  • do NOT want health dollars for spreadsheet murderers while there is rationed health care for all non rich citizens,

  • do NOT want their tax dollars wasted,

  • do NOT want the road or education or electric system of Nigeria, Brazil, Mongolia ...

  • do NOT want the unaccoutanble stealing whatever they want cuz they're powerful and unaccountable,

  • do NOT want the fruit of someone's sweat or better mouse trap stolen by someone who is connected,

...

wake up DLC'ers, or, Join the other side.
