Vulnerable House Democrats Say Party Needs Clinton

May
9

More than a dozen House Democrats who face tough re-election bids in the fall sent out a letter today through Hillary Clinton’s campaign urging Democrats to continue to back her.

On the list from New York are Reps. John Hall and Kirsten Gillibrand.

Here’s some of the letter:

Dear Fellow Democrat,

We are writing to you because of our shared belief in our Party’s principles and our commitment to ensuring that we have the strongest possible nominee to lead our ticket against John McCain and the Republicans in November.

The decision about who to support to be our Party’s nominee is not one that any of us should take lightly.  We haven’t.  But, after giving this important decision a great deal of thought, we are convinced that Hillary Clinton has the vision, skills and commitment to make the changes our country needs.

    I won’t donate to Hall and Gillibrand this time around if they’re going to sign on to Clinton’s race-baiting.

    Well…so what? It’s over. Done. Fini. Loser. Go away. Starting to look silly. Fisrt time I ever that Rev. Al showed any wisdom. “It’s time to leave the stage”. Gong.

    Hall is a dreadful representative but how is this “race-baiting”? Hall thinks Clinton will have a better chance of beating McCain. Given Obama’s even farther-left stance than Clinton as well as his heavy baggage (Ayers, “Rev.” Wright, and the scandals to be revealed later—wait for it!), Hall and the other signatories may well be right. Only a racial huckster would call that race-baiting.

    I was referring to Clinton’s ‘I’m the choice of whites’ statements.

    When did she say that in those words? Citation / link, please.
