I think WEEE should call superdelegates

[PretzelWarrior]

and tell them who WEE want them to vote for. If Chelsie and the gang can take them to lunch and do whatever it is they are doing to garner their support, we reglar folks ought to be able to register our wishes directly to the superdelegates.

Let's post some names, phone numbers, emails, etc. of who all of these people are. I think Obama needs some help. Oregon's primary isn't until May, my wife and I have already donated to him...I'd be happy to twist a few arms of the likes of Ted Kennedy, Barbara Boxer, Donna Brazille, etc.

What do you folks think?

[PretzelWarrior]

3. THANK YOU! this is perfect for me.

I will try to piece together the phone number and other contact info for them. This is terrific.

[Tatiana]

8. Thanks for this list! n/t

[gateley]

2. I think Barbara Boxer set the standard for the other Senators, hopefully -

give your delegate vote to the winner of your state. The people have spoken, and it's the senators' jobs to represent their constituents.

That seems fair and just, and I don't know how the other Sens couldn't do the same without getting grief from their voters.

[PretzelWarrior]

4. I'd support that thinking from Senators

it's the state party chairs, and DNC members I'm truly wondering about.

[gateley]

25. Ah, you're right -- nt.

[rhett o rick]

5. I have contacted both Sen from Washington the state. Both are commited for Hillary and

Cantwell is even campaigning for Clinton. Washington went about 61% for Obama. Of course Cantwell voted with Clinton to give G.W.Bush authority to kill a million or more people in Iraq.

[PretzelWarrior]

13. that's the kind of sh!t I want to bring to light

when their own state votes overwhelmingly for one person and they already commit to vote for the other person? That is just wrong and needs to be brought up in light of day.

Thanks for calling them, though.

[rhett o rick]

19. I think the theory is that they know best. nm

[PretzelWarrior]

24. stupid theory. they are letting the Iraq war continue

so the peoples will have to keep voting in new blood until they stop letting ours.

[MonkeyFunk]

6. who says you can't?

go ahead. knock yourself out.

[PretzelWarrior]

11. I will. and I'll try to post contact info

so others can as well. we need to raise the level of involvement even to that point.

[Redstone]

7. "WEEE?" "WEE?" You mean us, as in "We?"

Redstone

[PretzelWarrior]

10. yes. WEEEE as in "WE" as in....all of us.

this thing looks very very likely to come down to how the split on super delegates shakes out, and I don't want something to happen where the superdelegates help tip the scales against the direction of the Democrats throughout the nation who vote.

[Redstone]

18. They do that, they'd better be prepared for an ass-kicking. I don't think the Democratic

voters are in ANY kind of mood to take that kind of bullshit.

Redstone

[rhett o rick]

20. With respect Redstone, what are we going to do about it. Incumbents are immune

against reprisals within the party. They are guaranteed a free pass to the general. You can threaten them all you want but they know you can't back it up.

[PretzelWarrior]

21. that's B.S. especially regarding new Dems in House

they aren't that solidified...and now is the time to deal with people who vote against the will of the people.

[rhett o rick]

28. How do you propose to replace a Democratic incumbent. I say it can't be done.

Anyone willing to run against an incumbent in the primary will be committing political suicide with regard to party ambitions. The party organizations will always back the incumbent as will the big money donors. We will see if anyone will be able to unseat DiFi or Pelosi.

[Redstone]

26. You're right, dammit. Wish you weren't, but you are.

Redstone

[rhett o rick]

29. Damn reality. nm

[crispini]

9. Do it. I nagged my DNC member when Dean was elected.

He was delighted to hear from me.

[goodhue]

12. you can

eom

[Bluebear]

14. Is that a radio station?

[PretzelWarrior]

15. come on....I'm trying to make a point

by whining and saying "WEEEEEEE". Because saying "WE" just isn't strong enough. You, your neighbor, me, my brother...we all need to get on the horn and let these people know their vote should be for the person who won the most delegates based on votes of PEOPLE.

[Bluebear]

16. Just funnin :)

:toast:

[PretzelWarrior]

17. I figured....lol. I'm in a good mood.

[rhett o rick]

22. I am in a good mood too. But you sound like you believe that the Democratic party is democratic.

lol. Not a chance. Super-duper-delegates are intended to stop the peoples from doing something stupid.

[PretzelWarrior]

23. the peoples will ensure they pay the price

Obama is going to win and that is that. The people know a good thing when they see it, and this time around people are going to be sick to death of getting herded into the corner by "those who know better".

[LadyVT]

27. Oh, I'm sure they'd LOVE to hear from you...
