madmax is mad - Just another Puma Party Community Blogs weblog

Astute observers will note that Hillary is a great actress!

Yes, Hillary is acting her tail off in order to receive her monetary reward.  The Obama camp has a established a reward structure that helps the Clintons pay off their debt.  In essence, the structure of this payout is based not only on what Hillary does tonight, but how well she does it.  So, we can expect a rousing endorsement of Obama from our favorite candidate.

Yesterday, I suggested we stand with our backs to the podium when Hillary speaks.  We should still do that, but we should also “boo” whenever she says something positive about Obama.  Let’s see them silence our voices.  REMINDER - Since we will NOT have a chance at a roll-call vote we have to express our dissatisfaction with peaceful protest.  Be nice!  

The Clinton’s have sold us out to reduce some of their massive campaign debt.  The net result is that we will not have a full state-by-state roll call vote.  Here what’s up:

I suppose its true when it comes to politics - but even Hillary Clinton will sell out for the right price.  I don’t know what the full price is - but rest assured there are some behavior/performance milestones the Clinton’s must meet in order to continue to receive the trickle of Obama campaign funds to help reduce their debt.

The plan to silence the state-by-state rollcall vote will happen when New York’s turn comes around.  Hillary herself will call for a motion to ”suspend” the rollcall vote and through parlimentary procedure the entire process will result in a voice declaration that “Obama is the nominee”.

Now, I don’t know about you but that makes me madder than I already am!  I say we stand with our backs to the podium for the remainder of the convention!  I’m sure the Obama thugs will shout us down and haul us out - but at least we will have a chance to demonstrate our unhappiness with the entire DNC leadership.  *Please remain calm and peaceful* but its important to show your unhappiness!   

Should Hillary now run as an Independant candidate?  The answer is “yes”! 

Hillary has over 18M votes in her column as a DNC primary candidate and with that kind of muscle she would make the most formidable Independant candidate since Ross Perot in 1992.

For those of you who don’t know lets make a case.  According to Wikipedia,  “… Ross Perot received 18.9% of the popular vote - approximately 19,741,065 votes (but no electoral college votes), making him the most successful third-party presidential candidate in terms of the popular vote since Theodore Roosevelt in the 1912 election.  A detailed analysis of the voting demographics revealed that Perot’s support drew heavily from across the political spectrum, with 20% of his votes coming from self-described liberals, 27% from self-described conservatives, and 53% coming from self-described moderates. Economically, however, the majority of Perot voters (57%) were middle class, earning between $15,000 and $49,000 annually, with the bulk of the remainder drawing from the upper middle class (29% earning over $50,000 annually). Exit polls also showed that Ross Perot drew 38% of his vote from Bush, and 38% of his vote from Clinton, while the rest of his voters would have stayed home in his absence on the ballot.”

Second point - This is Hillary’s best shot at the presidency.  If Obama is elected in ‘08, he will be an incumbant in 2012, Hillary would have to wait until 2016 to run again as a Democrat.

Third point - There is no guarantee that someone better won’t be running in 2016 as a Democrat.  More than likely the mood of the country will have swung back towards Repukes by then.

Fourth point - By 2016, most of her supporters and contributors will have abandoned her.

In summary, if Hillary has a shot at all - the time is now!  Go for it Hill - Don’t leave us with this big-talking all-rhetoric candidate!  The world needs a real leader - not a wimp - who can shoot a 3-pointer.
