It amazes me that the Clinton's going all anti red state hasn't been seen as a way to just push people to Obama. Look, I never had a reason to dislike Sen. Clinton, and I would have gladly voted for her, would being the main word here.
There had been for some time this talk of anti Clinton Vote, and I could see that on the Right. People would have came out to Vote against her. However now look she is dropping kicking her own party members. We do matter and let me tell you how, the last three DNC Presidents have all, ALL been from red states. LBJ, Carter and who was that other guy, skirt chaser. Used to be silvered tounged? Oh that is right HER FREAKING HUSBAND! So to discount us just because YOU can't win us over, because YOUR husband brought us NAFTA and now we are selling our children's souls and lives to the Chinese shouldn't figure into us voting for you? It wouldn't have, but you brought Bill into the game, you made him a player a Knight to your Queen. I worried that if you did that, the backlash would hurt your camp, and it has as I thought it may. Now look, you lash out at me. Makes me wonder what you would do to help red states if we don't matter. Would do to us as Bush did to NOLA? let us drowned "oh they are red states they don't matter.
Howard Dean is right, the DNC is right, playing for all 50 states is the best way to make sure we move this nation into the right place. Voices that have for too long controlled the flow intell to the masses in the red states need to have a countervoice. one that doesn't talk hate but peace, one that doesn't talk about we are all going to hell but how we can make it to the promised land. Yet the Clinton's think that we should just forget the south forget the mid-west.
To be fair we in the red states haven't really mattered, in the past, but then again we didn't have such a great group of people to vote for, but know we do, this could all the way to May (SWEET because NC is in May so I am a bit happy that I do count this time other than rubber stamping) now to say we don't mean anything because we will never be blue is may or may not be true, but let me give the Clinton's a history lesson.
Before the Civil rights movement, The south was always for the dems, the term "Dixiecrats" mean anything to you. My Grandfather (whom was a sob to my mother and grandmother) on his death bed said his only regrete was he voted for Ike and not with the Dixiecrats. The GOP after the Civil Rights saw a chance to play on the hate and racism of the times and the Democrats lost the south, but time is change.
fast ward to the late 90's, banking and other big jobs were moving down south, google and Dell coming to NC, two of the largest banks in the USA is in NC but all the south was growing like that and blue minded people started to come down as well, talk about unions talk about good jobs, and talk about fair play and the southern man and woman started (and it's a slow move, we southerns hate to be wrong) to see they were voting against there best needs. the south will rise again blue and it seems the Clinton's are going to be on the wrong side of that. You have to wonder why, Virgina could end up being two senators and the Governor of the state all be Democrats. NC could end up with one senator and the governor would be Blue, (remember John Edwards was the senator of NC) SC and GA all can be going purple and then blue, why do you want to piss those people off?
Or could it be they are just upset that their run is falling apart around their ears and they can't blame themselves that would be the right thing to do, they are going to lose that fight, they are going to lose the south for another 10 years that otherwise could come around this year. I have to say that is the BRIGHTEST move I have seen, if she was Dubba, but she isn't and she needs to stop throwing fits like a child. She could run this country, but she won't if she doesn't stop playing "Calvin" ball.
