HILLARY BLOGS
Since I decided to support Hillary Clinton's candidacy, I have spoken to as many people as I can about the relative merits of our two Democratic presidential candidates. I've divided my time in the past week almost evenly between Dallas and Fort Lauderdale, Florida. In Dallas I spoke to colleagues at work, primarily Democrats and women of all types (I count Republican men as lost). In Fort Lauderdale I was conducting a series of video interviews with the principals of large developers, architectural and engineering firms, and specialty contractors, and after the interviews as we made small talk I diverted the subect to politics. What I found, in the main, were undecideds. Other than declared Republicans, I encountered people who were wrestling with the Clinton-Obama decision. I discovered that one of my interview subjects, a renowned Florida architect, was also a Democratic mayor of a small Florida suburb. He told me that his wife and daughter were supporting Hillary, his two sons Obama -- but he himself was still unsure of what he should do as a superdelegate. I asked him how he voted in the primary, and he told me, "Hillary."
But nearly everyone I spoke to told me they get most of their information from the traditional media, and even when they said the Internet, they explained that they were just reading the traditional media ON the Internet (e.g., CNN.com, nytimes.com). In both cases they seemed aware that with the MSM they learn mostly negatives about Hillary and are swamped with Obamamania, which they don't exactly get but can't deny that the results are very impressive.
So I gave them all my blog address (I don't often do that) and promised to list some blogs that either support Hillary, have some contributors who do, or whose reporting is relatively balanced. Frankly, the left blogosphere has mostly "drunk the kool-aid" for Obama, so outright pro-Hillary web sites are not pervasive. At this time, I have to appreciate those blogs that offer, at the minimum, some perspective or balance. I've also decided not to de-list from my years-old blogroll those progressives who have let their anti-Hillary or outright Hillary-hatred-based positions run amok, but at least here I can highlight those blogs that will deliver some fair and accurate information about the Clinton campaign. I'm sure there are many more that could be included (I wish I knew what they were), but this is the best I can offer:
Taylor Marsh
The Confluence
Suburban Guerrilla
No Quarter (Larry Johnson)
Open Left
The Daily Howler
My DD
Greg's Opinion
The Democratic Daily
Hillary's Bloggers
Women's Media Center
Corrente
Talk Left
Digby (Hullabaloo)
The Left Coaster
I'll just add here at the end, that I'm terribly worried, almost alarmed, that the anti-Hillary contingent among the progressive blogosphere is showing evidence of a willingness to fracture the Democratic Party if their candidate, Obama, is not the party nominee, while seemingly all pro-Hillary adherents are making it clear that they will wholeheartedly support Obama if he is, in the end, our standard-bearer. Let me say now, as I remarked to The Sage a few minutes ago, that despite my wholehearted support of the Clinton campaign, I will comfortably and happily do everything I can to advance Barack Obama to the presidency if he ends up as our nominee.
Would you prefer John "100 years in Iraq" McCain? Grow up.

HILLARY FOR PRESIDENT?
SURELY, THEY JEST!!
Learn something, buddy:
"Probably everyone with an Internet account in the mid- to late 1990s received, at one time or another, a version of the "Clinton Body Count." And of course, there remain even today a panoply of Web site devoted to circulating this tale. And any number of conservative columnists and TV pundits made passing references to it, lending it further credence. But the "Body Count" has been thoroughly debunked as a fraud many times; the best remains this assessment from Snopes.com: Clinton Body Count. "

In Huber Heights, Ohio, on Saturday, Mrs. Clinton said, referring to Mr. Obama, “I’m not asking you to take a leap of faith on me. I’m asking you to look at the record.”
Mrs. Clinton, I am STILL looking at the record….. the Rose Law Firm’s billing records…… which magically appeared in the white house bearing your fingerprints after having been supoenaed for more than a year. I believe you said you had “no idea” how they got there. When you have an idea, come solicit my vote.
i am a 55 yr old black woman who would never VOTE FOR OBAMA.HE & HIS WIFE NEED AN ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT
Hi,
If you are a Hillary supporter who refuses to vote for Obama and can't imagine voting for McCain, there is another option:
http://www.writehillaryin.com/
Obama suppurters - don't be duped by the mainstream media. Do the research and use your brain!
No 55 year old black woman would say that. 65 maybe, 75 certainly.
Boy, the trolls are everywhere!
I thought I'd chime in with a different perspective. I'm a military mom; my only son is currently on his second tour in Iraq. His first tour was quite an eye opener. Some of the things he wrote about in his letters horrified me, and when he came back home I begged him to pursue a new avenue so he wouldn't get sent back.
But like many of the heroes serving there today, he told me his country needed him, and he would do all that is asked until they can ask no more. He will be voting this year through an absentee ballot, and he's voting Obama for one simple reason: through his firsthand experience in Iraq, he knows Americans can't afford another President who will wage unneeded wars. Many of his fellow soldiers feel the same. For them, their vote could be the difference between coming home to their families, or fighting for their lives in a country that does not want them nor need them.
I ask you to please reconsider. McCain has already aligned himself closely with the policies of the Bush administration, and he's made it clear that he wants a lengthy US military commitment to Iraq. As tensions in the region rise, I fear that a McCain presidency would not only mean my son will be sent on a third and fourth tour to Iraq, but that we'll also have a very real danger of falling into another unneeded conflict with Iran before his term is over.

Colleen is well...disrespectul of and using the military attachment in an evil way. -She/he just left the same message on several other Hillary blogs. Ask military families what they think of letters like this. Outside of Code Pink this is considered abhorrent.

It went all over the Topix sites in Mar and April. I found around around 154,000 google hits at the time. On the site is a good partial list of contributors. If their name pops up somewhere you can bet the rabid right wing bats a fluttering about and looking to bite. It just never hurts have your net.

I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don't know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.
Great to build your own module but why not collaborate on existing module that aim to provide the same features or functionality you're looking for: http://fairfieldinnakron.com/rooms-and-packages.php
