One of the points of denial Hillary Clinton supporters are clinging to is the desperate hope that somehow, in spite of the rules, the Michigan election in which Barack Obama did not even run as a candidate, would be counted, and Michigan’s delegates would be seated at the Democratic presidential convention. The truth is that, even if that did happen, Hillary Clinton would lose the nomination. This is getting pathetic.
The goal of the 2008 presidential election is to stop the pain. Who understands pain better than anyone else? Anesthesiologists. So we see this bumper sticker, then: Anesthesiologists for Obama. Barack Obama is the presidential candidate who can most credibly break with the broken policies and failed ideas that have caused America pain. It’s Obama who can end the pain, and that’s why anesthesiologists support Barack Obama for President of the United States.
In Minneapolis, Obama supporters came together to clean up the riverfront part. “You would be hard pressed to find narry a cigarette butt,” she writes. That tells you a lot about gardeners, and about supporters for Barack Obama. These aren’t the kind of people who sit and think about how things might be. They get up out of their chairs and work to match what is to what things could be. They plan ahead. They care about the world around them.
