How about a Happy Gram (via a friend in CA)....some tidbits to make you smile :)

begin forwarded message:

first, we are expecting a strong 3rd in South Carolina and then on to Super-whatever-the-hell-they-are-calling-it-now Tuesday...

some pickers uppers:

there are more delegates in Los Angeles County alone than in Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, and South Carolina combined...

Bill Clinton lost his first 5 primaries in 1992 and was still 3rd in the polls in late May of that year...

a wonderful thing about this year is that it looks like all the states will have their voices heard this primary season!

we won 2 straw polls tonight - one with members of the California Democratic party in San Bernardino County, and the other with the Democratic Alliance For Action up in the Santa Clarita Valley...

and last night (Weds) we won another straw poll in Santa Rosa...

and in the California Democratic Council, they held their endorsement vote and no one hit the threshold necessary to earn it, BUT here are the results:

Hillary - 59
John Edwards - 55
Obama - 26
Kucinich - 13

yes folks, that's a very strong second by some real activist movers and shakers...

just this week, the South Carolina Communication Workers of America has endorsed John!

and just today, the Fresno Bee endorsed John!

so hold your heads high and smile, we've got the best candidate, and the "fat lady" ain't even near the building yet....

and here's the website with all the states if anyone wants to help out wherever: http://www.johnedwards.com/states/

and remember, we're for NO Racism, NO Sexism - Just Good Old-Fashioned Populism!

''I was proud to represent the grown-up wing of the Democratic Party.'' --John Edwards (22 Jan 2008 at South Carolina Debate)

and the below tidbit tells ya it ain't over by a long shot...

Nominations Will Not Be Decided on Super Tuesday
"The race for delegates is so close in both parties that it is mathematically impossible for any candidate to lock up the nomination on Feb. 5," reports the AP.

"There will be nearly 1,700 Democratic delegates at stake on Feb. 5, enough to put a candidate well on his or her way to the 2,025 needed to secure the nomination. But even if somehow either Clinton or Obama won every single one of those delegates, it wouldn't be enough."

"There will be more than 1,000 Republican delegates at stake on Feb. 5, enough to give a candidate a substantial boost toward the 1,191 needed to win the nomination -- but only if one man emerges victorious in numerous states."

1. Thanks for the upbeat report

There is NO WAY it makes sense for John to drop out. The way things have been going since Monday, I feel strongly he can win the nomination. Anybody who saw that debate should have come away thinking that John is the only electable one, regardless of whom they had supported prior. The other two have SO much baggage, while John has ideas, plans, maturity and passion.

4. He can't drop out....we have no one else !

Oh, I'll probably tow the party line so I don't get thrown off DU (( :rofl: ))

...it's just we blew it last time without JRE on top of the ticket, I hate to see us, as Mudcat said, "step on our johnson" again.
