DUH!!! Pelz is going to announce that he is going to run for the White House
Pelz leads a state party whose members have caucused overwhelmingly in support of Obama; for him to do anything other than endorse Obama would certainly require a great deal of, uh, explanation.
^Not so, according to Erica's well-thought and reasoned argument.
oh, I just spit milk out of my nose. That hurt.
When you consider the fact that Hillary is pretty much doomed (barring massive intervention by the superdelegates, which would definitely fracture the party), this statement reads like a tacit endorsement of Obama.
Does the Democratic Party have the power to purge a candidate in mid-run? I kind of hope not. I more than kind of hope not.
So when will Jim McD endorse?
Pelz's quote in email to WA democrats last Tuesday.
"We have two wonderful candidates- Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama - but no nominee. They are essentially tied in the delegate count. Pennsylvania is looking close and may not decide the contest."
At this point, I'm almost hoping for a complete impasse at the Convention which causes the party to draft Gore.

Why Hillary does NOT make a good candidate
1. actually looked over there congressional records and all of her bills are about naming post offices and no brainer 911 bills. Obamas are more nuanced and meaningful. ie a national registry so that victims of natural disaster can find their loved ones.
2. She has the largest amount of earmarks and all of them and they are for direct compaign contributors.
3. Experience??? After the health care debacle of 92, she didn't do anything in the White House that any other first lady has done. Except take photo ops with Wo and other large corrupt contributors (which was redacted in the release of her schedule). If being the first lady counts as experience than why isn't Laura Bush running.
4. She is ruining the party, the electorate, and apparently is willing to slice America up into 3rds just for the chance to lose the Presidency.
Oh and she is unable to win at this point so I guess that she has already lost....
I think it means it is hard to raise volunteers and money for the party when you don't have a clear story to tell yet. Is that really that hard to figure out. Dwight is the party chair. He wants to kick ass in November.
