Now this is a novel idea: Someone in government, Superdelegate and California State Senator Carole Migden, actually wants to know what you think. You can vote and write your comments as to how and/or whom she should choose. She says, right on her website, that if you take action, you can help to change the world in 60 seconds. What do you think?
Looks like the Senator’s been taking comments and votes for a few months and currently Hillary is ahead. Funny but sad was poor Trudi’s, which ended with a who cares what I think anyway, I live in Michigan!
Welcome to the Superdelegate Forum
I have the privilege of being a superdelegate and as such I will have an unique opportunity in determining who could be the next President of the United States. I have been approached by friends, media and interested parties of both campaigns and queried to whom I expect to vote for this August at the Democratic National Convention.
I believe we are in the midst of the one of the most exciting electoral seasons in a lifetime and all of us want to be assured that the electoral process is fair and democratic.
My question for this forum is this: “Should a superdelegate cast his or her ballot for the candidate who wins the most pledged delegates nationally through primaries and caucuses or for the candidate they think would make the best President?”
Here’s my note to her:
Carole, Thank YOU for asking! I think that Hillary Clinton will win the popular vote, if the DNC counts the votes. She is by far the most qualified, strong, brilliant candidate with clear, solid, progressive plans. So I hope the answer to your question is “both.” Like me, many people, especially women, feel that they’ve been discounted and thrown away in the Dem nominating and election process. We’re fed up that Dean and Brazile are blatantly biased. We’re sick to our stomachs at the way Hillary has been treated. We are sure that if she’d been treated with respect by The Media, DNC, Dem candidates, and Obama et al, that she’d be ahead right now. Many of us, as lifelong committed Dems who would NEVER have considered voting any other way, are considering jumping ship and voting for (gasp) McCain if Obama is the nominee. (Me in present time: Wow, did I write that?)
You can vote here, and be sure to thank and support Carole Migden. One of the ways to make the change we seek is to have more women in government.
