The Hillary 1000 and I do not advocate voting for McCain but writing in Hillary or voting for McKinney.
Riverdaughter: It’s Happening, Reg! It’s really happening!
The worm has turned. We weren’t the only angry ones. No, no, there are thousands more like us and they are P.O.d. I can just hear the party boyz sitting back and joking, “A little bit of an ego trip from the Feminists?” like it was straight out of Life of Brian. No, they don’t take us seriously yet. But this first snowball threatens to become an avalanche. I just want to add one thing: Friends don’t let friends vote Republican. Don’t vote for McCain.
I was the first to warn this was coming. Clinton supporters are ticked.
If Clinton and her female supporters are not respected, they have the power and could stand up and walk out on the Democratic Party to send a message that will reverberate for months and years to come. That message will result in a McCain presidency.
For anyone who doubts this could happen please start reading the comment sections on the Hillary Clinton blogs. Most people are coming from thoughtful political perspectives from activists who are very serious about what’s now unfolding in the Democratic Party. These Clinton supporters who are threatening a protest vote for John McCain are large in number, many of whom are regulars on this blog and in the comment section, with hundreds of emails from lurkers to me every day saying they will not vote for Obama if he’s the nominee. The disrespect for Hillary Clinton has been too wide and too deep in the Democratic Party, and they’re not going to support it anymore.
No voting block in my lifetime has been so utterly disrespected, vilified unjustly with accusations of racism, and basically had to endure endless harangues, while the Democratic Party and so called “progressive” coalition has shown more disrespect to women supporting Clinton than the Republican Party, treating Clinton supporters as second class citizens, especially if you happen to be named Hillary Clinton.
Memo to the Democratic leadership elite: Consider yourselves on notice. Hell hath no fury. Believe it.

Right after the California primary, I changed my affiliation to “Decline To State”, aka Independent. This, after almost 40 years of voting Democratic.
I will be contacting Cynthia Ruccia and Kimberly Myers to find out how I can help organize “Clinton Supporters Count Too” here in California.
Wouldn’t it be great to set up chapters in every state (there are 50 of them, by the way, for any Obamakid out there)!

I’m still waiting for the final decision of the Democratic party in order to change my affiliation to Independent. I’m a Florida voter, and still register as a Democrat until all these women haters finally take away the presidential nomination from Clinton. It does not make any sense to belong to a party where they do not care about the voters.
