Let me invite my fellow Obama supporters to make a pledge that ON THE DAY AFTER HILLARY CONCEDES we WILL give another $25.08 to the Obama campaign, and just for good luck and to encourage party unity, $25.08 to the DCCC.

Best-case scenario, (Yes We Can!), $50,000,000 in pledges on the day after Hillary concedes ought to impress even the DLCers. And I am sure Van Hollen could find a way to use that other $50,000,000 for those down-ticket races.

Here’s what we can do about it. Click this link to send Van Hollen a pledge/promise that you will contribute $25.08 to the DCCC the day after Hillary concedes, and another $25.08 to the Obama campaign.

Don’t send any emails to the campaign itself, just make sure you include in your letter to Van Hollen that $25.08 is going to the campaign and $25.08 is going to the DCCC, then let the DCCC tell the campaign about it.

But don’t make the DCCC contribution until Hillary concedes.

If you want, copy and paste this letter in your email;

Congressman Van Hollen:
I am at this time making a pledge that the day after Hillary Clinton concedes this race, I will contribute $25.08 to the DCCC and $25.08 to the Obama campaign.
Signed_________________________

Plain and simple… and your .08 will always identify you as one of these pledge signers.

Mass bribery, you say?

Not hardly. This is public financing at its most powerful.

Anyone else want to join the pledge list? Also, please pass it along to your own network.

And don’t hesitate to give more to the Obama campaign, this is just to serve notice that there are considerable down-ticket benefits to an Obama candidacy.

-sigh- thanks for making this bush v gore 2008 edition 2.0. If HRC wants to count phantom votes, fine. But the reality is that both states were told not to do what they did, and that their actions had consequences. It’s not the fault of the voters that the Democratic powers that be in FL and MI wanted to be “kingmakers” ahead of Iowa, but it sure as hell wasn’t a mystery what would happen either.

What’s next? HRC’s version of the “Brooks Brothers riot” at the Convention? Jeebus.

Absolutely. I can tell you that I am seeing two things in terms of natural gas(and again, there is no issue with supply and the temperatures are such in our area that demand is not an issue either): prices this month are not only 1.5 times higher than they were one year ago, but also the price spread from day to day is crazy. In terms of the entire range of prices one year ago, the differentiation across the entire month(low to high) was about 40 cents. This month — 90 cents. So we’ve not only got people pushing on the price end, but also on the volatility end as well.
