A BIG factor in Superdelegates choosing Obama
1.5 million donors.

1.5 million donors, of which Obama is the only one with names and addresses.

1.5 million donors that many superdelegates would dearly love to have access to.

Oh, there are many other important issues such as avoiding tearing the Democratic Party in half. But 1.5 million donors is a big deal in itself.

2. Which underscores exactly what Obama was talking about with his Reagan comment
This could setup the Democratic party to remain in control for the next 25 years like the GOP did with Reagan's "legacy" if its handled right.

4. There was an Obama interview with the Reno Gazette that I watched in full that told me that
Obama could win based on the plan he laid out in it. It also let me know that Obama will actually be able to bring change to Washington. Thanks for bringing it up.

10. Can you share the plan?
I mean in a nutshell? sort of the Reader's Digest version, if you will? I'd be really interested to hear :)

8. It'll be a while....
I think that would be great. Obama for President and then a House and Senate, I get goosebumps. :-)

We're too close now. I just hope Hill and Bill don't make the hope spoiled rotten.

6. the grass roots effort in south carolina
Edited on Mon May-12-08 06:11 PM by loves_dulcinea
was amazing to watch. Obama had over a dozen volunteers meeting in charleston before anyone had any clue at all when his organization would 'officially' arrive.

7. and many of them do not like her or Bill
she was the presumed winner (and had been for ages) and only 1/4 of the supers lined up behind her in the beginning..
