Hillary campaign headquartersBy around 9:30 pm it seemed clear at Hillary's campaign HQ that she had won the popular vote in California. A full room and diverse crowd gathered around the blaring TV, cheered and chanted her name. Rev. Amos Brown spoke to deafening cheers as he questioned the substance behind Obama's rhetoric but praised the "two fine democratic competitors." Assessor-Recorder Phil Ting spoke briefly.
Some volunteers, who had started making phone calls early this morning, jeered at poll results that called the race in many states in Obama's favor. They were wrong in New Hampshire, let's not get swayed by media poll results, some said. 'We knew it would happen,' seemed to be the attitude flaunted by volunteers who earlier today were admittedly hesitant about calling it. There was a much more ethnically diverse and younger crowd tonight compared to many volunteers who took the day off work to make phone calls earlier today. Gavin Newsom has swung by several times in the past month to thank supporters.

Everyone knows that Hillary can lead on day one. But the country is so desperate for change that they are voting for an unqualified guy who simply uses the word Change for his whole campaign.
I think Hillary should talk about her ideas in terms of change and use the word, i.e. "Here's the problem with X and I think we oughtta change that. Here is my idea."

Does anyone from the campaign read this?

Kudos to Obama for sticking to the message. Voters agree that issues should be discussed. The debate was embarassing and Obama made the moderators look stupid. Tabloid questions resulted in Americans being the real loosers. Character assassintation might be acceptable by Clinton and ABC former Clinton advisor, George; however, the voters don't. Clinton pardons to win votes is a credibility, trust and national security question. Planting questions and getting caught time and time again in her own lies. ABC should be ashamed. Their wedsite is crashing with all the negative feedback. Americans are smart enough to recognize snake oil candidates. Polls should she cannot be trusted. We already know her husband Bill cannot. Yes We Can brings hope, I feel relaxed and calm when Obama speaks and get a stomach ache when I see or hear Hilary. Good thing for universal health care, we will all need it.
