Dalykos : HILLARY supporters are making more call than us. Please, please get on the phone and make some calls.
Saturday Obama Phone Bankers -- Open Thread
by Seneca Doane
Sat May 03, 2008 at 02:48:48 PM PDT
I don't know why I didn't think of this before, but we should have open threads going on phone banking -- if nothing else than to encourage readers of this blog to get onto the phone.

But this is also a place to collect information and share tactics. So let me get right to that.

Right now, I'm calling Fort Wayne. I just spoke to a marvelous woman who's part of a two-votes-for-Obama couple. Because people have been hammered with calls, I've started asking whether they've been receiving a lot of calls this weekend, preparing to apologize if I'm disturbing her before moving onto the pitch.

She said that yes, she has been receiving a lot of calls this weekend -- but they have all been coming from Hillary Clinton's campaign.

I repeat: all the calls this woman has been receiving this weekend -- and I get the feeling it may be something like 4-6 from the sound of her answer -- have been from Hillary Clinton's campaign.

Get on the phone. Share your stories here. Let's not lose this election because we didn't call

Hillary's campaign always makes lots of robo-calls. If it is robo-calls, they are not that effective. We should be calling anyway.

Can anyone please explain this story about Peter Paul Vs Hillary Clinton? It's on the blogs now. It's about stuff on fraud and campaign finance against Hillary. Who is Peter Paul? Why is no one talking about this? Isn’t this a serious issue in a general election? This has been described as the campaign finance scandal of the new millennium and no one wants to discuss it.

Re: Sen. Clinton is a liability to our party | Report to Admin

By ELF2008 May 3rd 2008 at 5:18 pm EDT

Glad to hear it's on the blogs. Unfortunately this is a story the press cannot cover due to an order the Clintons got from a Clinton-friendly judge. The order prohibits any media coverage under threat of an astronomical penalty.

The case itself has to do with campaign finance and receipt of funds from a/raised by a convicted felon. It was tried once before but got nowhere for lack of evidence. Evidence has been found and the trial is going forward again.

Re: Sen. Clinton is a liability to our party | Report to Admin

By Kelly who just moved to FL so she could vote there for Obama May 3rd 2008 at 5:59 pm EDT

It has to do with her senate race and the campaign manager who was indicted for finance fraud but not convicted (Judge was appointed by Bill C).

There were questions about this hollywood fundraiser being legal by FEC standards and HRC denied knowing how much was raised. She ended up amending her FEC report amd paid a fine.

This fellow Paul (who organized it) felt he got screwed and the trial going on now is a CIVIL trial that has had trouble gaining any footing.

There is currenly a 'gag' type order on the proceedings which is why you won't see the MSM reporting on it. Paul also has a long criminal history of fraud and deception and things like that.

Re: Sen. Clinton is a liability to our party | Report to Admin

By LV Duckworth May 3rd 2008 at 6:19 pm EDT

My understanding is that the case is not a criminal case this time however. It is a civil lawsuit and therefore the burden of proof is greatly reduced, definately in the favor of Peter F Paul. But yes, there is a gag order preventing the media to report the story and Hillary has been given a postponement till after the November election to testify. But currently Bill, Ed Rendell, Chelsea and others are giving depositions.

Re: Sen. Clinton is a liability to our party | Report to Admin

By Kim, part of the Greatest lobbying force Washington has ever seen May 3rd 2008 at 6:47 pm EDT

Peter Paul was with Marvel Comics before he started his own business. He hosted a fundraiser for Senator Clinton's campaign.
For some reason, the Clintons started bashing him and ruining his reputation (I don't truly understand the underlying rational). The lawsuit has something to do with this, the fundraiser and how the fundraiser was included in FEC filings (or not included).

Well, I know who Peter Paul is anyway!

CNN proclaimed Hilary to have won Pennsylvania by DOUBLE DIGIT numbers. The truth is that at no moment was she winning by more than 9.2 (which you can check at the SOS site in Penn). It must have been some of her claimed "base" who came with an idea that 9 is a double digit number. All this NCLB mathematics of CNN was just to help the mathematics of their donors. A lie for some green.
I wonder what they will twist today of Guam?
Warning: Any statements that Guam is unimportant politically will be considered unpatriotic, we have a base (a military one) in the Marianas.
YES WE CAN!

Re: Guam? | Report to Admin

I had to laugh -- because when I checked CNN's numbers for Guam, they actually had the numbers rounded DOWN -- making it look better for Hillary, whereas in PA they roulded UP to make it look like Hillary had won by ten points when it was actually closer to 9.......who can honestly say that the MSM is giving Obama a fair shake????????? The MSM and the other campaigns really do cater to less informed people....

CNN has the results for Pennsylvania up! Nothing currently on their screen about Guam, just PA.

Talk about BS. The PA primary was almost 2 weeks ago, but they're rubbing it in or trying to make it look more relevant than it is. Just the Clinton News Network in action.
