Continuando con las primarias

Un montón de personas se sienten encachimbadas, por usar una palabra más folklórica, 😉 con las tácticas que la campaña de la senadora Clinton usa para meter miedo y confundir a los votantes.

Bueno, acá están unos artículos, cartas, videos que han salido en estos días.

The Progressive tiene un artículo de Edwidge Danticat.

I am supporting him because the prospect of my daughter’s grandchildren having to show up for that hundredth year in Iraq terrifies me. At least Obama had the sense to oppose the war even when doing so risked getting painted by the unpatriotic brush.
I am supporting him because, frankly, the win-at-all-cost mentality of the other side disgusts me. I am a feminist who is bothered by the double-entendre of the 3 a.m. phone call, which leaves hanging in the air the not so subliminal suggestion that one has a more experienced spouse who might also answer in the dead of night should terrorists attack. To use fear-mongering to win a primary suggests to me that it might erode a Presidency, and we have had enough of that.

Por si no han leído la carta que envió Joe Andrew, se las recomiendo. Al principio el respaldó a la senadora Clinton pero rectificó su error! 😉 Cuando Bill Richardson salió a apoyar a Obama, los de la campaña Clinton le llamaron un ‘Judas’. A Andrew han tratado de decir que no es de Indiana. Han tratado de minimizar su importancia dentro del partido. No cabe duda que la desesperación por ganar los está llevando, cada día que pasa, a actuar como republicanos por no decirles otra cosa…

Dear Friends:

I have been inspired.

Today I am announcing my support for Senator Barack Obama for President of the United States of America. I am changing my support from Senator Clinton to Senator Obama, and calling for my fellow Democrats across my home State of Indiana, and my fellow super delegates across the nation, to heal the rift in our Party and unite behind Barack Obama.
