I like the idea. The PACs might be a little tough for this particular election, but might will be a necessity going forward. The rapid response team is also a great idea. In short, organization is going to be the key. For better or worse, the Democratic Party offered some infrastructure, but we’ll just have to build our own foundation. We’ll get more respect that way.

I hope the DNC can hear that.

I agree with you-not only is she fierce, but she is intelligent and strong on foreign policy.

She can hold her own in a discussion and defend her candidate without pause.

My sentiments exactly. I too have watched closely and see it all for what it is. I can’t believe he truths that this election has exposed-both good and bad, very bad.

I have experienced anger and frustration as I never have before.

I like to act as well. My voice is almost gone from all the phone calls I made to Texas and Ohio.

2. Obama supporters need to double down and work harder

I will be singing, “Ding Dong the Witch is Dead” at some point this summer.

I am an attorney and have a friend who started a Latina PAC a while ago. I’d be willing to put some time into researching the logistics of putting something like this together in a legitimate way. And I’d certainly be willing to donate some of my own money.

So, what do you all think? Are there any finance/ accounting/ business folks/ active retirees and supporters of JJ politics out there who are willing to throw down and make something happen?

In Barack Obama, the Democratic Party finally has the opportunity to offer up to the country and the world, the epitome of what the Party holds itself out to be. A man with brilliance, astounding vision, superior intellect, family values, and a grasp on political policy that is matched by few. And he happens to be Black.

Yet here we are at the precipice of making that a reality, and the Democratic Party is content to watch this man be thrown under the proverbial bus in exchange for a lesser candidate and poor leader. A Democratic Party that apparently doesn’t believe in doing what’s best for the country.

The way that the Party is treating Mr. Obama, they can no longer speak with credibility when asking for the wealthy to sacrifice for the good of the country.

They won’t even sacrifice for the good of their own party.

@NMP, I don’t think your comment is helpful. There are a lot of Latinos who do support Obama and lumping them all in as one, or even assuming they’re not all Americans is pretty shameless. We’re not Republicans and don’t think in stark terms like that. b-serious is right regarding the black/brown coalition. As these dinosaurs who’ve kept us separate for so long are finally retiring, this group is strenghtening it’s ties. It’s tentative, but even here in LA where there’s always been some tension, you can see that falling away.

This is not necessarily generational. There are radicals in their 80s who find Obama to be too corporate. They are to your left. Perhaps your mother and aunt have made a political calculation that 8 years of Hillary might be better than 8 years more of a 12 billion dollar a month war. Or a war with Iran. Maybe they care about all of the black children too poor to have a computer in the home (or good health care) more than the treatment that Harvard educated Sen. Obama has received. Obama will be fine–will they?

You need to check your tone. Here you are attacking the terrible treatment Obama is receiving yet look at your lack of respect for John Lewis, a man who risked his life–his very life–to further your advancement, our advancement. I agree that we need a smart way of dealing with Hillary. But dissing your “Negro” mother completely undermines your supposed desire for garnering respect for Obama. Why don’t you start by respecting your “black” mother.

“I found this blog a few weeks ago and I can definitely say that it’s the first one that is in sync with where I am politically.” ***DITTO!!

Oh by the way, SC Democratic Party leader Carol Fowler (one of our state’s 8 superdelegates) endorsed Obama yesterday.

Now that woman is fierce.

And no I don’t think Hillary gives a rat’s ass about us.

She’s proven that to many times in the last few months.

Pray.

Campaign for Obama in the remaining states in person, over the phone or both.

Pray.

Whatever will be will be.
