Reply #101: That report is BS... [View All]

As was the extremely skewed AP report that said that there was this massive push to "Draft Hillary" is so full of shit it's amazing, yet they tried to act like there was a massive push.

Here's the legit story.

One guy had a small table with a handmade sign made with marker on tag board that said "Draft Hillary" on it. He manned it alone and had nothing else on it. Wow, that's intense!! (sarcasm)

I suppose the one guy that took a Gore/Lieberman 2000 sign and duct taped over Lieberman and wrote a 4 over Gore on it made it seem like thousands wanted Gore to run too.

I was there. Hillary got support, as a strong Democratic leader and a good hostess, which she was. She gets our respect for what she does for the party and being a first lady of one of the best Presidential Administrations in the 20th Century.

But everyone was there for the candidates. It was the Kerry and Dean show quite honestly. Edwards had a distant third in supporters, and Gephardt was a very disappointing fourth. Kucinich had like 20 people and Braun didn't even have a sign. Pretty sad actually when you consider that Braun had to follow the loud and enthusastic support garnered by Kerry and Dean and got respectful applause more than anything.

Hillary was a nice touch to help Iowa Dems fundraising efforts, but the people were there for the candidates plain and simple and this is just the Media doing it's best to try to water down Bush's opponents. The rich continue to help the rich.
