This is a call to action.  Call your uncommitted elected official and ask them to commit now, as a super delegate, to endorsing the candidate who is the delegate leader after the final primary.  Please, only call your Representative/Senator/Governor.  Please be courteous.  

Let's make sure this madness comes to an end after the last primaries on June 3rd are held, (and possibly sooner.)  Let's make sure that we start to take on John McCain and the Republicans by early June and not late August.  If this thing got rolling, the game could be over in  a few days.  

I've been thinking back to the 2006 Congressional Elections.  

The conventional wisdom was that Democrats had a good chance to take back control of the House of Representatives, probably by a small margin.  But, even Chuck Schumer head of the DSCC didn't have much hope of Democrats taking back the Senate.  

Follow me past the fold for some analysis of the 2006 Congressional Elections, of Hillary Clinton's remarks about Move On, and how these relate to the 2008 elections.  

We live in a banana republic.

At the request of election officials, the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation has seized voting machines for forensic analysis and has launched a criminal investigation into the Franklin County Board of Elections.

Can we once again be plunged into a confrontation between the truth and proof of voting machine tampering and government officials, journalists, and citizens that ask us not to look at the man behind the curtain?  Will the MSM stand with the people and say:  enough is enough?  Are we so blind that we can let people walk out of the shadows, manipulate our election process again and again, and walk back into the shadows?  When will we shine the light of truth and justice on that most important- that most sacred- action we can take to ensure that we, as citizens are fulfilling our nations creed of "creat[ing] a more perfect union":  voting?  

Obama borrowed his election strategy from the DLC.  That's right.  You read it here:

“What he has done is he has certainly taken a good part of the strategy we have articulated over the years,” Mr. From said. “Which is to not polarize, but try to unite and build a coalition that understands that a Democratic victory is a coalition.”

To be given the night of April 22, after Pennsylvania is called for Obama.......

Four score and seven days ago, plus about a year, our party's presidential hopefuls brought forth on this political landscape a new race, conceived in change, and dedicated to the proposition that a Democrat will win the White House in 2008.  

Now we are engaged in a great civil war of a primary, testing whether that party, or any party, so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure.  We are met on a great battlefield of that war.  We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for the Clinton campaign so that party might live.  It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

I think it is important to support your particular candidate fully.  By supporting a candidate, you are implicitly supporting their party. This also applies to the candidate.  A candidate from a party should support the party they are running from.  Below the fold I'll discuss candidate support of political parties, touch on the 50 State Strategy, and give up a small scoop I heard this week.
