Even if Hillary wants to stay in the race until June 3, isn't it time for the Supers to favor Barack, even if only slightly, to come close to representing the will of the people?
The fact that he trails by 10 or so, as per the top of the Homepage of Daily Kos at present, needs to change and now.
So, even if some Supers want to stick it out until after June 3, enough SHOULD declare for Barack, or switch over from Hillary (a la McGovern's recent switch) to make it abundantly clear that:
a) the Supers have no intention of overturning the collective will of the people, using whatever measure you want
b) the Supers have no interest in being a part of the decision, they are there to merely confirm the will of the people
c) they no longer lean Hillary as a result
And, speaking of Hillary, she should be VERY careful if she stays in until June 3, that her fundraising emails, such as the one just received in Bill's name
I want to tell you about the day I had on Monday. I stopped in nine towns throughout North Carolina, starting the day at 7:30 a.m. in Elizabeth City and ending with a rally in Raleigh. That's the most stops I've ever done in a single day -- for any campaign. And I couldn't be happier to work that hard for Hillary.
I talked to a lot of people that day, and one thing was crystal clear -- people want Hillary to stay in this race until every last voter has a say. That's why Hillary and I are working so hard. That's why we've made a deep commitment to keep campaigning, keep fighting, and keep winning.
We have had a lot of success in this campaign, and our come-from-behind victory in Indiana is the latest example of how Hillary wins when she has your support behind her. As long as you share her commitment to winning, this race is going to continue.
Our next test is just five days away in West Virginia. Hillary needs your help right now to keep winning.
Contribute now to help us show the strength of our campaign.
I know something about coming back to win after you've been counted out. So does Hillary. Over the course of this campaign, the pundits have tried to declare a premature end to the race dozens of times.
Well, last time I checked, it's still up to the voters. And there are a lot of voters who haven't had their say yet.
It's up to us to make sure that the voters in West Virginia and the other states yet to come are given a choice. I urge you to act now to help Hillary keep fighting.
Show your support by making a contribution today.
I wish I could talk to every last person who has worked so hard for Hillary to thank you for everything you've done for her. You mean so much to both of us. She's still in this thing because of your hard work and your indomitable spirit.
Sincerely,
Bill Clinton
are not in retrospect viewed as manipulative, and were sent only to clear Hillary & Bill's debt to her campaign. There's enough ground that has to be covered on reconciliation with her supporters already, without their feeling ripped off....
