Please, save us the time and energy it takes
to go through this nonsense. I have been phone
banking into Penn and time and time again, folks
keep telling me that Hillary is a liar. Sometimes
I get people who keep me on the phone just to explain
why they would never vote for her. She managed to mess
up her campaign and has no one to blame except for
herself. Lots of times, people tell me that Obama
reminds them of Abe Lincoln and they find this so
refreshing.
Obama all the way !
