Hillary
Clinton was the best candidate then, and she remains America's best
hope - better than any declared candidate.today. We know that our
beloved Hillary does not like to look back. So while we are celebrating
her victory of four years ago, we should be doing so by looking ahead
into the future that we can form.
We do not have to be limited by the candidates the major parties are putting forth. Through Americans Elect
we can choose our own candidates. I joined about a month ago and am a
delegate for Hillary. Today, I celebrated "Hillary Day" by recruiting
my friend. Now, she, too is a delegate for Hillary.
It would be nice if every delegate could recruit one more delegate for
Hillary today. Let's celebrate "Hillary Day" by looking ahead and not
back. Let's bring along friends and family to the Americans Elect online convention in June!
According to information given to a poll worker directly from the
Michigan Democratic Party, there will be a write-in option on the
ballot tomorrow, however, write-in votes will not be counted. The other
two possibilities on the ballot are Barack Obama, of course, and
"uncommitted." Those will be counted. So, as difficult as it may be,
you should probably resist the temptation to write Hillary in and vote
"uncommitted" if you oppose Obama as the nominee. That way you can send
uncommitted delegates to Charlotte.
On another note, we need to get 1000 Hillary delegates ( or more!) from each state at Americans Elect
for the online convention in June. You cannot be validated as a
registered voter if you register using fake information. The site is
very secure and trustworthy. I know the questions are very specific,
but they are trying to assure that all delegates are eligible to vote.
As they roll in, I continue posting these articles suggesting that our girl take the 2012 plunge. I am not entertaining the switcheroo articles although some arguments are valid. Joe Biden has done a wonderful job as VP, and he is not the problem. The problem is a president without the spine to sweep into office with a grand plan for jobs, to stand up to the GOP (after losing the majority he had in his first two years), or to veto an NDAA bill containing amendments antithetical to the rights of American citizens as stated in the Bill of Rights.
Some supporters of Hillary Clinton's 2008 presidential bid, including Texans, remain bitter over how the last primary turned out, and they want their candidate back on the ballot this year, one way or another.
Petitions are being circulated to encourage Clinton to resign as secretary of state and run for president; write-in efforts are under way to put her name at the top of the ballot.
The Current Secretary of State is looking better than ever. I'm not one for conspiracy theories but I can't help but pay attention to her dramatic make-over. I have done some research and it seems that I'm not the only one wondering if Hillary would dare challenge the current President. I highly doubt she would do something like that, even if she and her team want it so badly.
Obama has fallen from grace so quickly that it would not be surprising if someone challenges him for the Democratic nomination in 2012. Many, including former Vice-President Dick Cheney, have been talking about the big 'mistake' voters did by choosing Obama over Clinton in 2008. In the last Republican Presidential debate, front-runner Mitt Romney called Obama inexperienced and way 'over his head.'
Many readers here will recall this scripted moment less than
fondly. I call it scripted because although the party tried its best
to hide the truth, many knew at the time, and many more know now, that
what was being televised was not a true and transparent roll call vote.
It is no secret by now among Democrats that the actual vote was taken
in hotel rooms that morning and that committed Hillary delegates that we sent to cast votes for her were coerced to vote otherwise before Hillary released them.
What we saw here, deplorable as it was to see a valid candidate and
the winner of the popular vote on the convention floor, was theater.
Hillary
Clinton was escorted onto the convention floor to rescue the party's
unity and request a unanimous nomination of Barack Obama. It was a
spectacle, for sure, and not the party's finest moment.
The party seems to have a penchant for the theatrical since something appears to
be rotten in the state of New Hampshire as this year's primaries
commence. Curtain up! A swiftly organized write-in campaign for HRC in
the New Hampshire primary was launched in early December and was publicized
here, at other Hillary blogs, and in myriad Hillary Facebook groups.
We shared and we tweeted no end to get the word out to New Hampshire
voters that on the Dem side there was more than one choice.
Tuesday,
the 10th was primary day, and by the next morning we saw these results
from C-SPAN. They were posted here on this blog.
We
were informed by the New Hampshire Secretary of State's office that the
write-in tallies would be available the next day - today. You can
imagine the shock waves that traveled through the Hillary sites today
when that office made these results available.
Suspension
of disbelief is possible when the plot is reasonable, but these results
are not. No one voted for HRC? Democrats wrote in the GOP clown car
occupants on the Dem ballot? No one wrote in any other Democrats or
independents on that ballot? Smells fishy to me! So, many of us had our
Hamlet moment today since something indeed is rotten in the state of New Hampshire. The only voters missing are Mickey Mouse and
Donald Duck, but I guess it is harder for them to register now that
ACORN has bitten the dust. Anyway, Shakespearean productions are almost
never accompanied by cartoons.
The only other explanation is that
the Hillary Clinton write-ins were inscribed with disappearing ink. We
are undaunted, because for our money, the finest moment of that 2008
convention was this. Yes, Hillary, we will keep going!
Not so fast, it seems! There IS no write in option. At the Petition Facebook group, however, there appears to be a way we can battle this totalitarian one-candidate ballot.
I
am asking all Hillary supporters to write to the South Carolina
Secretary of State demanding suspension of the 'No Write-in Rule' under
the Equal Protection Clause of the Constitution. We are prepared to seek
legal recourse if the Secretary is not responsive. If anyone can help
with these legal issues, we'd be grateful.
Thank
you for visiting the online office of the South Carolina Secretary of
State. We are working hard to revolutionize the way you do business in
South Carolina. Please let us know if you have any feedback, questions
or concerns.
Let's all do our part so that our neighbors in South Carolina can write Hillary in should they wish to!
SO!
While we do not know for whom those write-in votes were cast (we can
suppose not for the baker's dozen of challengers on the ballot), and,
oddly, we do not see a total of votes cast with a list of those
challengers and their results, we do see that there was a pretty healthy
write-in vote.
As a reminder, if she did garner a sizable portion
of write-in votes, HRC never declared or said a word to imply that
she was running, never set her pretty little foot on New Hampshire soil,
and did not spend a red cent on this. This was entirely a grassroots
effort. Imagine if she had assured voters that she was in this to win
it. At a time when this country is in dire need of a hero with a
knowledge base and plans to counter the GOP with its bad plans and the
incumbent, who historically lacks plans going all the way back to the
2007 debates, HRC is what she has always been since that day in 2007
when she declared, the change we need.
