Hey gals & guys,
I am so happy that Obama won the nomination. I loved his speech, I thought he was gracious to Hillary and inspirational as always.
He took a firm stance against McCain's comments from earlier that evening. He did a very good job all around.
I do have to say that being a former Bill Clinton campaign volunteer, I am quite disappointed by his overall comments of Obama. His wife Hillary was someone I thought of supporting this election as well. I became quite disillusioned with them both and tonight even more so about Hillary. She showed a severe lack of respect by not congratulating Obama tonight. It just showed a total lack of class.
I know many are talking about the "dream ticket" idea, but after tonight I am even more certain that Obama should not give her the V.P. position. I just don't feel she is at all deserving of it and her lack of recognition for his achievement makes me think this even more.
What does everyone else think?
Best,Lorelai
CQ TODAY ONLINE NEWS May 2, 2008 – 6:50 p.m.
When activists across the country took to the streets May 1st for the third annual mass protests against restrictive government policies on immigration, they chanted a familiar slogan: “Today we march, tomorrow we vote!”
But since 2006, when explosive rallies against restrictive House-sponsored crackdowns on immigration brought hundreds of thousands of protesters into the heart of major American cities, organizers have been bedeviled in efforts to make good on the “tomorrow we vote” pledge — and not simply because the nation’s contingent of roughly 12 million undocumented workers is unable to vote. Voter registration and turnout among Hispanics have always been tepid, and the high concentration of Hispanic residents in states generally not in play during presidential cycles has served to further blunt the impact of the Hispanic vote.
What’s more, those Hispanic residents who do vote regularly tend to resist ready mobilization into voting blocs. Some pockets of Latino voters have bucked this pattern around specific issues, such as the Cuban-American communities in Florida and New Jersey who turn out in strong numbers for candidates pushing hard-line anti-Castro policies. But the Hispanic community’s political profile is otherwise quite diffuse: often supporting some family-values platforms identified with the GOP, for example, while also coalescing around liberalized immigration plans and opposition to the Iraq War, to the apparent advantage of Democratic candidates.
Complicating matters further is the logistical hurdle of acclimatizing recently naturalized citizens to participate in a political process that can at times be treacherous — as in, for instance, a 2006 report of voter-intimidation schemes in Orange County falsely warning Hispanic voters that an incomplete or out-of-date voting certification would prompt deportation proceedings on grounds of voting fraud. In addition, a backlog of nearly 1 million naturalization applications could well pull hundreds of thousands of would-be voters away from the polls this November.
In the 2008 election cycle, organizers are hoping to overcome these obstacles. They’re betting that the activist energy galvanized during the 2006 immigration battles will translate into greater electoral participation — and that a hard-fought presidential contest will turn Hispanic voters into a key swing constituency. Hispanic turnout, long regarded as the sleeping giant in the American electoral process, could be stirring into a new show of strength this election cycle.
The presidential race in particular could be a key proving ground, with the presumed GOP nominee, Arizona Sen. John McCain , strategically tacking away from his support of liberalized immigration, and Democratic rivals Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York and Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois aggressively courting the Hispanic vote. “If the Hispanic vote turns away from McCain and the Republicans and toward Democrats, it could redraw the electoral map for the next generation,” said Frank Sharry, director of America’s Voice, an immigrant advocacy group.
Recent trends suggest that the would-be mobilizers of the Hispanic vote have a steep hill to climb. According to U.S. census data from 2004, approximately 16 million, or two-thirds of the country’s 27 million Hispanic voting-age residents, are eligible to vote. But of these, only 58 percent registered to vote, compared with 75 percent of whites and 69 percent of African-Americans. Only 47 percent — 7.6 million people, or taken as a slice of the total 2004 voting population, about 6 percent — actually cast a vote in the general election. Still, that marked an improvement over the 2000 cycle, when they accounted for just 5 percent of the overall voting population. By 2006, the percentage bumped up to 8 — an all-time high, but still well shy of expectations in the wake of the immigration protests that spring.
Before the November 2006 vote, “the conventional wisdom became a much higher number than what the Census Bureau actually reported,” said Arturo Vargas, executive director of the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials. NALEO is predicting that traditional growth in the Latino community will yield about 9.2 million voters in 2008. “That’s the figure to beat,” Vargas said. “I firmly believe that circumstances are such that we’ll see a historic increase.”
Organizers say they have a key advantage this time out, though, since they’ve been able to invest greater resources — and just as important, more time — in the process than they could in 2006. “It actually takes a little bit of time to gear up to a larger voter registration effort,” said Brent Wilkes, director of the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), a civil rights advocacy group for Hispanics. “In the same year as the massive marches, there wasn’t enough time. That’s why you’re only starting to see efforts gear up now.”
To speed along such efforts, lobbying concerns that represent major swaths of the Latino community have turned their attention away from the streets -- where crowds calling for legislative changes have been waning in size and energy since 2006 -- toward the polls, where the community has the potential to make a decisive impact in 2008. In January 2007, several lobbying groups formed a consortium, the We Are America Alliance, to direct mobilization efforts toward the November elections. Major participants include the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), the National Council of La Raza, NALEO and LULAC. The alliance is trying to target several of the logistical roadblocks to higher Latino turnout all at once, by coordinating a citizenship drive (the Ya Es Hora, or “It’s Time,” campaign) alongside a voter registration initiative (the A!Ve y Vota!, or “Go Vote!,” campaign) and a grass-roots voter turnout push for 2008.
“In the past, everybody was doing whatever they wanted to do, so you wound up with a lot of duplication,” said Eliseo Medina, international executive vice president of SEIU. “This time, we want to make sure we maximize the work that we’re doing, so our results aren’t less than the effort we put in.”
Another key objective this cycle, Medina says, is for Latinos to flex their electoral strength where it counts. “We want to be one of the deciding factors in elections around the country, and nationally, this year,” he said.
But that’s where the election map could work to the disadvantage of Latino organizers. Four of the five states with the largest concentrations of Hispanics — California, Texas, New York and Illinois — account for two-thirds of the overall Latino population, but it’s highly unlikely that any of them will be presidential battleground states this November. As a result, lead organizers are employing a basic metric to gauge where the Latino vote could have the most public and decisive effect: swing states where the yet-untapped pool of Latino voters may exceed the 2004 margin of victory in the presidential ballot.
So Florida and Arizona, for example, which George W. Bush won that year by 5 and 11 percent margins respectively, qualify; and New Mexico, which went to Bush by a razor-thin 1 percent margin, is a yet more obvious target. Organizers are also stepping up efforts in Colorado, Nevada and Virginia, where the base of prospective Latino voters is growing fast, even though they’re still shy of likely election-swinging force.
In the past, such appeals have generally conformed to the traditional candidates’ pitch to any ethnic constituency: a snatch of sloganeering in Spanish and photo ops with local Hispanic leaders and power brokers. But the era of low-impact engagement with issues that concern Hispanic voters is over, activists contend.
“I think the time has passed for tamale politics, ” Medina said. “People have become much more attuned to what candidates do, not just what they say.”
The recent fortunes of the GOP in the Hispanic community drive that point home. In 2000, George W. Bush aggressively targeted the Hispanic vote, and came away with an impressive 35 percent show of support; by 2004, Bush was able to claim almost 45 percent of the Hispanic vote.
But in the wake of the rancorous immigration battle in the 109th Congress, Republican candidates have lost ground, garnering just 29 percent of the Hispanic vote in the 2006 congressional contests. McCain’s home state of Arizona tracks what looks to be a continued nationwide migration of Hispanic voters back toward the Democratic column. Less than a quarter of the state’s Hispanic voters turned out for McCain in Arizona’s February primary, with Obama and Clinton respectively claiming about 30 percent and more than 40 percent of the Hispanic vote.
Republican strategists are confident, however, that McCain, a cosponsor of the Senate’s more lenient “path to citizenship” legislation on immigration in 2006, can reverse the trend in the general election. “It will be very difficult for Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama to show they know the Southwest and the Hispanic community better than John McCain ,” said Danny Diaz, a spokesman for the Republican National Committee. Meanwhile, Obama and Clinton have been conducting their own battle for Hispanic support at the polls, with Clinton holding on to a consistently wide margin via a strong get-out-the-vote effort combined with pitches for small-business tax breaks and other policies that poll well among Latino voters.
“You cannot ignore the Latino community, because it’s growing so fast, and particularly in this cycle, the community has been more energized than ever before,” said Fabiola Rodriguez-Ciampoli, director of Clinton’s Hispanic outreach effort. “You have to work for the vote.”
A big part of that work involves addressing immigration, which analysts say could unite Latino voters into a tighter voting bloc than they’ve ever formed before. “Virtually every Spanish-dominant voter lives in an extended family with many undocumented family members,” said Sharry. “So immigration is a defining issue for Latino voters in much the same way that civil rights is a defining issue for African-American voters. ”
As Latino activists look to recruit and organize voters, immigration, though rarely topping the issue agenda for Latino voters, often binds their interests together in a way that their other concerns — such as jobs, education, the Iraq War and health care — don’t. In Virginia, Juan Carlos Ruiz is heading up a group of volunteers in the Virginia New Majority campaign. Ruiz and his team are going door to door every week, committing pre-registered voters to participate in upcoming local elections, registering others, and stressing the overall importance of taking part in the political process. He talks to people about local issues: schools, transportation, the economy and spending projects. But again and again, the talk circles back to immigration.
In the past year, several towns in Virginia’s Prince William and Fairfax counties adopted bylaws permitting police officers to check the immigration status of any person they pull over or otherwise detain. The policy has pushed several Hispanic families into surprise deportation proceedings — and the affected communities are now approaching the immigration question with a new urgency.
“They care about it as an issue, but don’t know that it’s in their backyard,” Ruiz said. Once that changes, he notes, “all of a sudden, you can a voting community.”
He and his colleagues also expect the organizing drive to spread beyond the 2008 presidential contest and congressional races. In 2006, more than 30,000 naturalized immigrant voters, most of them Hispanic, voted for Democrat Jim Webb in his successful Senate challenge to incumbent Republican George Allen. With GOP Sen. John W. Warner retiring, Hispanic organizers are sizing up the open race for his seat, hoping to push the immigration agenda into the foreground.
But even if that kind of clout isn’t instantly forthcoming, activists in the Hispanic voting effort are hailing 2008 as a potential watershed. “We’re finding more people interested in becoming citizens and voting than ever before,” said Matthew Henderson, southwestern regional director for Association of Community Organization for Reform Now, a liberal affiliate in the We Are America drive. The challenge, he says, is to help “Latino voters speak with a strong voice. And we get better and better every time we do this.”

Obama signs on as co-sponsor of Cornyn's Valley veterans' hospital bill1 May 2008Joey Gomez
McALLEN, May 1 - U.S. Sen. Barack Obama, D-IL, has signed on as a co-sponsor of legislation providing for a Veteran's Administration hospital in the Rio Grande Valley.
Obama signed on to S.1838, authored by U.S. Sen. John Cornyn's, R-Texas, on Tuesday saying veterans in South Texas, as well as veterans across the nation, should all be provided with accessible health care, and “receive the benefits they deserve.”
The 24-county South Texas region is home to about 115,000 veterans. The nearest VA hospital, some four hours away for veterans in the Valley, is Audie Murphy in San Antonio.
“He cosponsored this legislation because he believes we must provide service members and veterans in South Texas and throughout the country with accessible and quality health care services,” said Mike Ortiz, spokesman in Obama's Washington, D.C., office.
"Obama continues his fight to ensure our nation's heroes don't have to fight another battle at home to receive the care and benefits they deserve," Ortiz said.
The bill remains short on Senate supporters but has enormous star power. The co-sponsorship of Obama, a Democratic presidential candidate, now brings the number of Senate supporters to five.
In addition to Cornyn and Obama, the bill has the backing of Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas, and two recent co-sponsors - 2004 Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry, D-Mass., who signed on as a co-sponsor on Feb. 26, and Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-NY, who signed on as a co-sponsor on Feb. 28, during the Texas presidential primary campaign.
“It's a big issue, and it deserves to be a big issue as you have more than 20,000 veterans who have to drive more than five hours to San Antonio,” Clinton told reporters at a press conference in McAllen in February about veterans who have to travel 250 miles to receive inpatient acute medical care at the Audie Murphy facility in San Antonio.
“There are a lot of people who are young returning veterans with many severe injuries, both visible and invisible, who can't be making that five-hour trip as often as they need to get the help they require,” Clinton said.
S. 1838 mirrors H.R. 538, a companion bill in the House authored by U.S. Rep. Solomon Ortiz, D-Corpus Christi.
The two bills direct the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to determine, and notify Congress, whether the needs of veterans for acute inpatient hospital care in 24 counties comprising deep South Texas should be met through a public-private venture, construction of a new full-service, 50-bed hospital with a 125-bed nursing home, or a sharing agreement with a military treatment facility.
The bills require the Secretary to take appropriate action depending on the option selected. Valley veterans’ groups have long believed the two bills represent the best legislative vehicle through which to land a VA hospital.
Some Valley veterans’ leaders said they might endorse the first presidential candidate that co-sponsored Cornyn's bill. That was Clinton. U.S. John McCain, R-Ariz., a Vietnam War veteran who is likely to win the Republican nomination for president, has yet to sign on as a co-sponsor of Cornyn's bill.
“I'm ecstatic that Sen. Obama has signed on to S.1838, he's doing the right thing and I know his heart is in the right place as well,” said Felix Rodriguez, commander of Veterans of Foreign Wars District 18, which includes all VFW posts in the Valley and Laredo.
“He has come through, and I'm glad that he did because he understands and fully comprehends how critical this is to us in the Valley,” Rodriguez said. “I guess it took this Democratic nomination race in the state of Texas to make them aware that there is a South Texas outside of San Antonio, and we do have needs here.”

I'm reading posts from other states where the excitement of the primary/caucus has come and gone - like it has here in New Mexico - leaving us all fired up with no place to go. While we can continue to phone bank the remaining primary states, the fact is that there is a growing inverse ratio of volunteers to tasks at hand. So what to do with all our Obama energy? Here are a few suggestions:
I understand the brouhaha about the slam going around the Internet that accuses Senator Obama of being a Muslim. I understand that the intent is to disparage him, to find him a threat to the country by guilt of association. And I understand that the entire business of name-calling and its implications are despicable. But "Muslim" is not a synonym for "terrorist," not in this country, and certainly not in the rest of the world. Open your eyes, America, to the world.

The radio program Latino USA has two very relevant stories this morning about the importance of the Latino vote in Texas. The bottom line seems to be that the vote is dividing along generational lines, with older, more traditional voters supporting Clinton based on the Clintons' years of support in Texas. Younger voters are looking to Obama because they want change from the status quo.
http://www.latinousa.org/program/index.html
The story on Clinton draws an interesting implication—that Latino voters in Texas want to position themselves for future positions of power, as the "golden minority," and therefore choose Clinton.

(CNN) -- Sens. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are in a statistical dead heat in Texas, according to a poll released eight days before the state's crucial presidential primary.
Obama has won the past 11 contests and leads in the overall delegate count.
In the CNN/Opinion Research Corp. survey released Monday, 50 percent of likely Democratic primary voters said Obama is their choice for the party's nominee, while 46 percent backed Clinton.
But taking into account the poll's sampling error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points for Democratic respondents, the race is a virtual tie.
Clinton had a statistically insignificant 50 percent to 48 percent edge over Obama in last Monday's CNN/ORC poll in Texas.
"The 2-point gain for Obama and the 4-point drop for Clinton are both within the poll's sampling error, so although the survey appears to indicate some movement toward Obama, we cannot say for certain that he has gained any ground since last week," said CNN polling director Keating Holland.
Two recent polls by other organizations also show the race statistically even.
Texas and Ohio, which both hold primaries March 4, are considered must-win states for Clinton. Watch what challenges the candidates face in Texas, Ohio »
Obama has won the past 11 contests and is ahead in the overall battle for delegates, 193 of which are at stake in Texas.
The new survey indicates John McCain is the clear favorite in Texas for the Republican presidential nomination. Among likely Republican primary voters, 56 percent said the senator from Arizona is their choice for nominee.
Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee won the backing of 31 percent of those questioned, and Rep. Ron Paul of Texas was at 9 percent. These numbers are virtually unchanged from last week's poll. The survey's sampling error for Republican respondents is also plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.
McCain is the overwhelming front-runner in the fight for the GOP presidential nomination and party leaders have rallied around the candidate in an attempt for party unity. Regardless, Huckabee and Paul remain in the race for now.
There are 137 Republican delegates at stake in Texas.
The poll was conducted by telephone from Friday through Sunday. Pollsters talked to 2,149 adults in Texas, including 861 likely Democratic primary voter and 751 likely Republican primary voters.
A breakdown of how whites, African-Americans and Latinos are planning to vote shows one reason the race in Texas between Clinton and Obama is so close.
"Obama appears to be picking up support from nearly eight in 10 blacks," Holland said. "Clinton may win roughly two-thirds of the Latino vote. There are likely to be more Latino voters than blacks when Democrats go to the polls on March 4, which should work to Clinton's advantage.
"But Obama's huge lead among blacks -- plus a noticeable chunk of the Latino vote -- tends to counteract that. The result: Clinton and Obama get roughly equal number of votes from nonwhite Democrats. And since whites appear to be splitting almost evenly between the two candidates, the overall race is a virtual tie."
Clinton and Obama faced off last Thursday at a presidential debate in Austin, Texas, hosted by CNN and the Spanish-language network Univision. The poll suggests the debate gave Obama a boost.
"Among the one-third of Texas Democratic primary voters who watched all or most of the debate, Obama leads Clinton by 20 points," said CNN senior political analyst Bill Schneider.
"Among the 42 percent who followed news about the debate, Clinton and Obama are neck and neck. And among the one-quarter of Texas Democrats who paid no attention to the debate, Clinton leads Obama by nearly 20 points.
"Is this because Obama appeals to better-educated Democrats and they were more likely to watch the debate? No. Even among college-educated Democrats, the more attention you paid to the debate, the better Obama does."
Democrats and Republicans may not agree on the issues, but the poll indicates they do agree on what's the most important issue. Forty-three percent of Democrats and 31 percent of Republicans say the economy is the most important issue in their choice for president.
The second most important issue for Democrats was health care, followed by the war in Iraq, illegal immigration and terrorism. For Republicans, illegal immigration was second, trailed by terrorism, health care and the war in Iraq.
"Likely Democratic primary voters think that Clinton would handle the economy and health care better than Obama," Holland said, "and those are the top two issues on the minds of Democratic voters. Obama has an advantage over Clinton on Iraq."
The candidates and their surrogates are stumping heavily in both Texas and Ohio and both campaigns are advertising extensively. Seeing less traffic are Rhode Island and Vermont, which also hold primaries on March 4. E-mail to a friend
