HIllary Supportes - May 31st - Million Man & Woman March on DNC?
Advertisements [?]
Hillary supporters know in their hearts that Hillary is the better candidate. Also, based on the polls they refer to on this board, Hillary supporters also know that if Obama runs against McCain, he will lose, and the Democrats will lose. This will lead to:

1. McCain appointing more Supreme Court justices.
2. Increasing the likelihood that the US invades Iran.

Of course, the Obama supporters think that America is willing to vote for Obama despite the oft-cited figures regarding his support amoung white working class Americans, but Hillary supporters know better.

Therefore, this is the chance for Hillary supporters to demonstrate their support for Hillary, as well as prove the strength of their convictions. They can do this by a mass million man and woman march on the location of the DNC Rules committee, and show their support for Hillary.

This is the last chance. If they truly believe that the Democrats will lose if Obama is the nominee, this the time to for them to put it on the line. Otherwise, Hillary supporters are just as responsible for a McCain presidency as the Obama supporters. Indeed, the Hillary supporters are even more culpable, because the Obama supporters think Obama will beat McCain whereas the Hillary supporters know for a fact that he will lose.

The Obama supporters say that Hillary does not have grass roots support. Ron Paul was able to influence state GOP meetings with much less support than Hillary commands in the Democratic party, so if Hillary's supporters mobilize and show the strength of her movement amoung the non-college educated white working class, gun rights supporters, and those who support the gas tax holiday, they can let their voices be heard at the DNC meeting on May 31.

To put it in perspective, the Promise Keepers were able to attract 1 million men to their event on October 4, 1997. Surely, with the Clinton's nationwide support throughout the United States, Hillary's supporters can surpass that and dwarf anything Obama has brought to the table. The Oregon event Obama, which Fox News noted was due to the good music, rather than support for Obama, will pale in comparison. Indeed, since this requires courage to stand for their candidate, I doubt that Obama supporters will make a significant showing on May 31st.

This is the last chance for Hillary Clinton supporters to make themselves heard.
