Democratics have a unique opportunity today!

This diary was inspired by MSNBC breaking into their regular news cycle to cover a speech by Boxer/Schumer.  It turned out not to be about the race but rather about an environmental issue that they cared about.  

So what?  They got free coverage for a while before they pulled the plug.  This is a great chance for the Democratic party and the issues we care about.

I call upon Senators, Representatives, and any unpledged groups of Superdelegates.  Announce a press conference and say something like:


We would like to make an important endorsement today, but before we get to that, we'd like to explain the reasoning why we came to this decision.  It's all about SCHIP.

[10 minutes of talking about the importance of this law]

In conclusion, that's why everyone of us on stage would like to announce our endorsement...  of the SCHIP bill I will be putting out next week.

Now the press will catch on after a few of these, so that's why you have to mix it up.  The next group will be a real SD endorsement, but only after they talked about global warming or poverty issues or Iraq or how great both Clinton and Obama are.

We have a captive audience today.  Let's take advantage. It'll be fun!

HRC will be part of one of the best and strongest dream organizations in the history of our country.

Clinton, Biden, Edwards, with Obama will get things done and fixed. I can't wait. I am 1000% behind this.

HRC needs her time in the limelight but the best is still ahead for all on this team. This is not team Obama. This is team America!

Let's celebrate tonight and then go right back to work tonight!


Obama 08!

Hah... I almost wish I could watch it. (none / 0)

But I'll have to settle for being at the Obama rally tonight.


In this avalanche, the pebbles get to vote.

Hm... (none / 0)

Maybe HRC could pay off her campaign debt with a sponsored pitch at the beginning of her speech tonight...  "Good evening, fellow Americans.  I have an important announcement to make, right after I enjoy this delicious, mouth-watering Subway sandwich."
