Via Katalusis:

Your responses are pouring in and have filled our inboxes in all states. We are moving rapidly and will have a website up soon, and are trying to respond to your emails as quickly as possible. Please pass this information on to everyone you can. Here’s what we need to do.

Make calls to OR and KY. We will have another stunning victory in KY and close the gap in OR. We believe the opposition will announce that he has won the nomination on May 20th after the polls close. It will not be believable when Hillary is announcing a HUGE VICTORY IN KY.

Organize a demonstration in front of your local NBC affiliate on election night, May 20th, starting at 6:30pm, until, preferably, the close of the 11:00 news. If you do not live close to your NBC affiliate, DO NOT WATCH IT. MAKE THEIR RATINGS PLUMMET. This must be done nationwide so that our numbers and strength are visible. We have announced this boycott of NBC at our press conference. Do this to show the strength of Hillary Supporters to defeat this less-qualified candidate that has been blatantly aided with biased reporting by much of the media, and protest the sexist behavior and disgraceful comments from NBC anchors. Make you own signs, for Hillary or against any of these offenses. Use your imagination. But most of all, JUST DO IT. YOU BEING THERE WILL MAKE THE STATEMENT THAT WOMEN ALL OVER AMERICA, ARE MAD AS HECK AND AREN’T GOING TO TAKE IT ANY MORE.

The next step is the Resolution of FL and MI and we will demonstrate in Washington on May 31st when the Rules Committee meets. Save the date. …more later. Each time we enter a new phase we will determine the most effective strategy and communicate it to you. Your part is to help make it happen throughout OH, MI, PA and FL, the critical states where we have the advantage.

THIS IS OUR MOMENT. HILLARY IS OUR CANDIDATE. WE HAVE THE POWER TO MAKE HISTORY. LET’S USE IT!

Hillary takes on the media

In Washington, they talk about who’s up and who’s down. In Oregon, we care about what’s right and what’s wrong.

Our telecon with Hillary

I missed it because I was late checking email!

Alegre:

She said our voices make a real difference.

We engage others here.

We make the case for her here on the blogs.

We help get her message out and none of that is lost on her.

Lambert:

First and foremost, she made the call and had the conversation. The contrast between Hillary, who took the time to talk to a small group of bloggers with readership from C list upwards, and Obama, who doesn’t read blogs, is instructive.

Second, I’m didn’t pick up a graceful withdrawal subtext. At all.

Third, Hillary talked several times about the “arguments” that we bloggers make, and how useful they are — which is why I, as an old-school blogger, like to think the blogosphere is all about; the clash of ideas in the agora or public square. Of course, that could be flattery, but isn’t it nice to be flattered for making an appeal to reason?

1. “It’s the map, not the math”. Meaning that the only metric that the SDs should consider — and I know this will seem almost childishly simple-minded — is the metric that will lead to victory in the fall. The popular vote conveys a degree of legitimacy, and here she has pulled into a slight lead (50K), but only the electoral college really matters: Here, Hillary has 300 EVs, Obama only 217. “I have a cushion.” “I will, he could.” And I’m seduced not just by the logic — I suspect that Hillary’s demographic, like me, does not have an apetite for risk, these days — but by the framing. Whoever framed “It’s the map, not the math” has a job waiting for them in the blogosphere when the campaign is over!

2. The Hillary campaign is totally committed to seating FL and MI. It’s “inexplicable” [Oh, really?] that the party has not figured out a way to enfranchise these voters.

3. The more the media tries to dictate the anti-Hillary narrative, and tries to make the Presidential pick itself, “the more resistant” people become. “It’s a very sore spot.” See the ad in USA Today: “Not so fast!”

4. OR TV station sets up a Town Hall, offers Hillary half an hour, Obama half an hour. Obama declines. So she’ll take the whole hour!
