Women Threaten Obama Boycott
ABC News Blog ^ | 5/15/2005 | Rick Klein

Posted on 05/15/2008 4:37:56 PM PDT by keepitreal

I've posted a few times in the last two days about female supporters of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton who are angry -- at the Democratic Party, at the Obama campaign, or at the general situation that sees their candidate facing tough times, in their view, in part because of sexism.

Just talked to a 55-year-old Columbus, Ohio resident named Cynthia Ruccia, a spokesperson and organizer for a group calling itself "Clinton Supporters Count Too." She said the group -- numbering in the hundreds, and organized in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Florida, and Michigan -- stands ready to boycott the Democratic Party if Clinton doesn't win the nomination, and will work against superdelegates who support Obama over Clinton as a means of registering their displeasure with the party.

"We have a plan to campaign against the Democratic nominee," the group said in a press release Thursday. "We have the (wo)manpower and the money to make our threat real. And there are millions of supporters who will back us up in the swing states. If you don’t listen to our voice now, you will hear from us later."

I heard a Hitlery suporter call Sean Hannity and she was very disgusted with the Democrats and the MSM. She said they are getting organized to vote for McCain and there were a lot of them. She was very frank and honest with Sean. She said Obama was not a real American, he has very flawed character, etc.

"We have a plan to campaign against the Democratic nominee,"

They know a McCain victory in '08 keeps Hillary's chances alive for '12, and an Obama win in '08 effectively ends her Presidential chances for all time. ...unless she's his VP, of course. Then anything can happen.

Great. Liberal women are shunning Obama. Conservatives are shunning McCain. This election is so screwed up.

“Then anything can happen”

As in a funeral and swearing in of the first witch president.

Members of Operation Chaos?

Do they join us or do we join them.

I was thinking of “crossing over” and voting for McCain myself!

No sarcasm tag since it is so very near the truth!

Because rules are meant to be broken in dem circles, and there are no consequences for breaking rules.

Will they hold their breath and turn blue if the Wicked Witch of the East doesn’t get the nomination? Throw a tantrum? Ah, the maturity of the Democrat voter.
