Clinton to Replace Clinton???
With Senator Hillary Clinton accepting the position as Secretary of State New York is in need of a new senator. Some are saying Bill should pick up the reigns. I’m not so sure about that though…those are pretty big shoes to fill.
This seems a little bizarre to me, but hey it’s politics…right? Which makes me wonder…has a President ever come back to be a Senator? Naturally I decided to google this. I gotta say, I love google. I didn’t find anything except a list of Senators who’ve become President…
Anyone know for sure???

Senate seatRepublicans aren’t the only ones bringing heavy hitters to the Georgia for the Senate seat runoff. President Clinton made an appearance last Wednesday and Al Gore was out this weekend supporting Democratic challenger Jim Martin. Apparently the President Elect has made a radio ad, but no appearance is planned.
I still think he needs to get to Georgia! It very well may end up being the key to holding the Senate with a 60 seat majority.

Senate seatThe RNC is bankrolling Saxby Chambliss. Not really surprising considering his reelection may be needed to keep the Democrats from gaining a filibuster proof majority in the Senate.
Rudy Giuliani has apparently decided to make an appearance fund raising for Chambliss. I wonder though if Rudy should be fund raising for himself to pay off his own campaign debt, but hey that’s just me. McCain and Romney have put in appearances as well.
Jim Martin has received some help from Bill Clinton and Al Gore. I’m still hoping the President Elect will make an appearance or two as well.

WikipediaCabinet posts are filling. We keep hearing rumors about possible Secretary of State candidates, and now the media has put out that Eric Holder is being considered for the Attorney General’s position.
Well, you may find yourself asking this question as well…who the Hell is Eric Holder?? He’s a former Deputy Attorney General from the Clinton Administration. Well according to Wikipedia, he graduated from Columbia Law School then went to work for the Justice Department. He’s also been an Associate Judge for DC Superior Court and the US Attorney for the District.
Team Obama is looking more like Team Clinton every day…

when women vote democrats winI can’t believe we are 2 days out! Whew! I want to say a big thanks to Holly! This election ramp up has been all kinds of fun. First off, it’s been so great to share this experience with someone who feels as strongly as I do. Second of all, it’s be even better to be able to have that outlet for the frustrations, excitement, and journeys.
Holly and I have: canvassed neighborhoods here in Springfield, VA, attended Bill Clinton’s rally for Obama at VCU in Richmond, VA, attended the Barack Obama rally in Leesburg with our girls, and most recently we went to see Hillary Clinton and Gerry Connolly speak at George Mason University right here in Fairfax County!
Here’s some more rally photos! This is Holly holding the famous sign…When Women Vote Democrats Win! This sign has been with us since the VCU Rally!!
And here’s our future’s Vice President and President waiting patiently in Leesburg, Va waiting to get into the Obama rally. Em wants to be a “rock star” and Zo wants to be an “author of children’s books” and “dog breeder”, but I can always hope… Thanks to Hillary Clinton, the sky is the limit for future women!
Bill Clinton rallies Team Obama at VCU

womenOkay. So my friend Holly and I headed to Richmond last night. We were very excited. We listened to some great music on the way down. Got passed by a Suburban with horrible bumper stickers (Vote McCain not Hussein). Got stuck in traffic clear to Woodbridge! UGH! If you’ve ever travelled the 95 you know exactly what I am talking about! Got to Richmond, found the venue (thank God), parked and walked up.
I’m not sure how many were there, but it seemed like a lot. The energy was very positive! Bill Clinton clearly spoke to the fact that Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are on the same page and same team. TEAM OBAMA. He talked about the fact that Obama “gets it”. Can I also say that guy is like a rock star, people were clamoring to get to shake his hand. Okay, okay, so was I!!
Then after the rally we went to stand on the street across from the McCain people. “Yes We Can” and “Obama” were the chants of the night. I’m not sure what the McCain people were saying, but there was one guy yelling, “Ask for forgiveness.” I have no idea what that was all about! I also saw some other veterans. Which is always exciting for me. We had a few people on our side want to go “negative”. We quickly discouraged that. My argument for staying positive is… RIGHT IS ON OUR SIDE, WE ARE WINNING!
There is just no need to engage in unhealthy behavior. My friend Holly summed it up pretty well, “Would Barack Obama be proud of your behavior right now?” That’s a pretty good barometer for people attending rallies. We pretty much quelled any negativity and stayed on message.
Below is a link to me at the rally. I’m the nutty blond holding the sign, “When Women Vote Democrats Win.” I have to say it was a great night!!

Richmond or Bust
So my friend Holly and I are off to Richmond! We’re going to see Clinton speak and root for Obama. As my husband snarkily said, not often you get to see Bill for free! We’ve got shirts, signs, and buttons. Pretty excited I was able to get a Veterans for Obama pin and bumper today!
Hopefully it’ll be a good time. I’ll have pics up tomorrow!! That’s us…on our way!
They’re back…The Clintons are Out Stumping for Obama…Finally

politicsI’m glad to see the political fighting machines are back in service. I’ve been wondering where they’ve been! It’s good to see the Democratic Party uniting and fighting back evil. We’ve got just over three weeks till the election, and the Democrats must get out there and have their message heard.

Now…where’s Al Gore???
I’m headed to Richmond tonight to hear what Bill Clinton’s got to say. Pictures and story to follow.
