I resisted the Obama hype as long as I could. He started to win me over when he chose Joe Biden (my first choice so many months ago). But after watching Palin's speech, I'm totally on board with him now, and as the Swift Boating has begun, I'm Hoping that the campaign has a coherent strategy to fight back.</p> <p>I became really concerned when a day or two after Palin was announced, Obama attempted to say he had executive experience because he managed this campaign, which had a larger budget than that of Wasilla. My response was "WHAT? Is that the best you can do?" And my head starting to spin with thoughts of John Kerry and my eyes teared up at the horror of blowing this election again.</p> <p>The campaign has an incredibly powerful response to this attack on Obama's executive experience, and they don't even have to change strategy. It bothers me that they just seem to have decided to ignore the Palin comparisons when the answer is so obvious.</p> rss@dailykos.com (danielleny) ExecutiveExperience George W.

I haven't been able to really put it into words until now.</p> <p>I started out with John Edwards, and still have his sticker on my car to protest his departure from the race, because I honestly believe he was the best candidate in the race. For years I've been saying that I would never vote for Hillary and couldn't stand to listen to her grating voice for four years if she became president. I said there is no way she could be the Republicans.</p> <p>I've admired Obama since his convention speech in 2004, where I said he would run someday (but didn't think it would be this soon). After Edwards left the race, and on the heels of the Clinton race-baiting and Edwards-bashing robo-calls in SC, I was leaning toward Obama. I still wasn't sold on what he actually hoped to accomplish, but I was not voting for Hillary.</p> rss@dailykos.com (danielleny) Appeasement Barack Obama BarackObama Change Compromise Hillary Clinton HillaryClinton _458009 Sat, 16 Feb 2008 16:39:06 +0000 https://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/2/7/452070/-The-fundraising-war-disgusts-me <p>It blows my mind that Clinton and Obama have each burned through $100 million and we still don't have a nominee. I check here every day and there are appeals for Obama (and today Clinton) supporters to donate more money. When do we say "enough is enough"?</p> rss@dailykos.com (danielleny) Campaign Finance CampaignFinance Fundraising _452070 Thu, 07 Feb 2008 20:04:08 +0000
