Pelosi (5.00 / 3) (#59)
by Kathy on Fri May 09, 2008 at 11:33:49 AM EST
got a heated call from a huge dem money-man telling her to shut up.  Today, a handful of congressional dems also wrote a letter in support of Clinton, and explained why:

Pennsylvania was not just a victory for Hillary Clinton. It was also a wake- up call for superdelegates, forcing us to ask ourselves two essential questions: 1) Which candidate can carry the magic 270 electoral votes to win in the fall? 2) Which candidate is most likely to help our fellow Democrats in down-ballot races? We believe the answer to both of these questions is Hillary Clinton.

And, if Edwards voted Obama, that means Elizabeth voted Clinton.  I think Elizabeth coming out for Clinton would have far more impact than Edwards coming out for Obama.

It would also show to millions of women who the true uniter is.  Elizabeth was no fan of Clinton going into this thing.  If she's changed her mind, it's for a good reason.

I do think it is time for Pelosi to look for another job.  Maybe people have seen how she took the most powerful job a woman has had, so far, and squandered it.  She has not been an effective leader.  Maybe that is what is causing some people not to vote for Hillary...just a theory.

is Harvey Weinstein the Clinton money-man to whom you are referring, or was there another one? CNN reported that he and Pelosi had a conversation (she hasn't denied the phone call took place) and that he knows how to get her attention in a way that the millions of Clinton voters don't seem to.
But the three officials briefed on the call insisted Weinstein went further by suggesting that if Pelosi did not consider his proposal on the revote, he would help slow the flow of donations to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, which works to elect House Democrats.

money.  I am not sending money to them strictly on principle.  They are undermining the democratic process and the democratic party.

letter to EACH of these supporters.  It is SOOO important for them to know they are NOT alone in their thinking.

Besides, it would speak volumes if one of these reps go to another super D and say, "LOOK AT ALL these letters of support!"

If anyone is interested, I have made up a form letter that I send to all super D's who come out for Clinton.

have to email it to you.  I have it on my pc @ home.  (@ work right now.)  I felt really good about it when I got a letter back from Sheila Jackson Lee thanking me for my support of her decision to back Hillary.
