This video is from a North Carolina voter who explains in straight forward terms why she supports Hillary Clinton. Not because she is entitled but because she has earned it.

For the Obama folks that chime in below. Yes, I wonder if this is a staffer or a die hard supporter like me but you know what? I don't care. The argument is spot on.

While Obama is relying on his African American support and whining that the world needs to leave Wright behind, Hillary is out meeting with all the voters and discussing gas prices and jobs. She doesn't assume anyone is in her pocket or Obama's pocket. She is out there speaking with them about the real issues that affect their lives every day.

She is out there earning votes.

UPDATE: She is a soldier stationed at Ft. Bragg.
...And that's the reason the gap will close day by day here in North Carolina. Because you took us for granted. You made an assumption. You made a choice to believe in certain numbers. The poll numbers, when the only numbers we care about and are paying attention to are the ones at the gas pump. The number of days we get extended to with stop loss. The amount of time it takes to get a medical appointment because almost all of the doctors and specialists are deployed. The number of days some will leave to go to Iraq. And the number of days for some to return.

1. She has earned it.
If she does win...we demanded and demand a different direction from globalism and war.

7. I fixed that also
She's earned it because she is speaking about issues every day. Real issues, not Change and Hope or other vague issues that really aren't.

She has earned it.

4. She would've EARNED all our votes IF she opposed BushInc with 1/2 the focus she opposes other Dems
Edited on Thu May-01-08 12:07 PM by blm
and used even half the fight she supposedly shows now to defeat Bush and Rove and GOP policies over the last 7 years, instead of giving Bush public support even as she undermined other Dems who did stand up against Bush.

16. florida
I know. How gauche of the interlopers. Sort of like those pesky plebeians in Florida and Michigan actually expecting to exercise the democratic franchise. I believe that would be subject to the caprice of Howard Dean, Ted Kennedy and a simple quorum of the patres conscripti assembled in the rarefied precints of Olympus. Nobless oblige is one thing, but this whole democracy thing is getting entirely out of hand.

11. I haven't looked at the video yet but...
it only proves what I have said all along, blacks aren't voting for Obama just because he's black..

Everyone votes for different reasons but a lot of people seem to believe if they listen to a certain segment of the black population that they agree on most things. Blacks are like any other segment of any population,no one agrees with everything...

The problem I have with a lot of Hillary supporters is that they won't even try to listen to Obama they think that just because Hillary is fighting to prove that she is tough she is entitled. No one is entitled You can be tough by being natural and calm when a situation calls and tough at the right time.You don't fight another Dem like you are fighting a CON,YOU DON'T ACT DESPERATE!

13. How can you earn a spot like POTUS?
I would like to think it was something you were the most capable for.
Not something you had to save up for.
