Check out a quote from their update, after they spoke to Kovner directly:
"Obama's the candidate," she said. "I'm a Democrat and I have been a Democrat for a long time and I want to win in November and I don't want to continue a fight that isn't a fight anymore."

She is the tightest of the tight with the Clintons since 1992 in the Primaries. It is over is she is jumping ship.

I wouldn't get too excited about it. She probably was there to take down names and report back.
"I still hear some dogs barking," Carville said, according to The State newspaper. "I'm for Senator Clinton, but I think the great likelihood is that Obama will be the nominee."
"As soon as I determine when that is, I'll send him a check," he added.
Jack Johnson:
"I cannot in good conscience go to the convention and not support Barack," Johnson said in an interview. "She ran a great campaign, but she fell short of the line."
Johnson is a pledged delegate for Clinton; pledged delegates rarely switch sides.
This afternoon on Air America and just a few minutes ago on CNN (Cafferty) they were talking about how many Obama workers were getting racist reactions from people....doors slammed on them and racist comments and phones slammed on them with racial comments.
Frank Rich was right a week ago when he said in his May 4th column: "....this nation’s perennially promised candid conversation on race has yet to begin."

Check out the update and then this related story. Kovner says that the race is over and Obama is the candidate. Too sweet. Read the whole thing here: http://www.observer.com/2008/kovner-democratic-...

As a woman, I can appreciate the complete disappointment in the first viable female candidate coming so close, only having to conceed. But, for the life of me I cannot understand the self destructive stubborness the remaining supporters have in pushing this dead horse. If Hillary had a penis, would her lies about NAFTA, Penn's involvement with the Columbian government, race baiting, cozying up to Scaiffe, FOX and the rest of the dispicable right wing smear merchants, her spouse's secret foreign donors and her wealthy supporters attempt at party blackmail, praising the very scary GOP nominee while assisting in her fellow Dem's ( and potential Dem candidate) swift boat talking points be tolerated? Watching this unfold is depressing. God, I hope these women figure out they are being used the same way the black community was used by the Clintons and will be tossed aside the same way when t hey are no longer useful to their ambitions. In the meantime, John McCain drools over his dream of attacking Iran.

Well, maybe, but I think the real reason he is drooling is because he is so old.

Was that $2,550 money the Clintons paid her?

This explains alot:
The Espinozas were among at least 460 Texans, most of them rural Hispanics in South Texas or African-Americans in Houston, who received payments from the Clinton campaign for this kind of work, according to a review of Federal Election Commission records. The records show that Mrs. Clinton did something similar in Ohio, giving $38,300 to a state legislator, Eugene R. Miller, who says he used it to pay more than 200 people to get out the vote in predominantly black neighborhoods in Cleveland.
"Street money" seems nothing more than buying votes, except not at the level of lobbyists, of course.
I don't see anything wrong with a campaign buying gas and maybe lunch for VOLUNTEERS who are for your candidate. But to put out money like that is just plain wrong.

O&W,
Along with my $ donations to Gore, I worked phone & mailings & door-to-door. I bought my own lunches and gas for my car. No one gave me or any of my co-volunteers money.

You should limit posting about the Clintons UNLESS they recieve a Monica.
That way I know the article has Hillary content.
Scroll on by. They need to tell Taylor Marsh to tone it down, too. Because she has posted a picture of the man standing in front of tanks on Tienemeinn Square, the man-of course representing Hillary.
