Blog100 Days and Ready!
100 days before the gavel drops and the 2008 Democratic National Convention begins, we hit the 16th Street Mall in downtown Denver to talk to Coloradoans about what it will take to put on this summer's Convention. Check out the video and see how with only a few months left until the Convention, we are READY to put on this great event.

I am a nurse and my husband is a doctor, we have been loyal democrats our entire voting lives. I am sure you have heard from many how embarrassed most people are to be democrats right now. The word “Democrat� is derived from the word “Democracy�, and our party has been far from Democratic with this race. Both of our candidates are WONDERFUL! They both have their downfalls and their strong points… That being said they both have legitimate arguments for why they both deserve this nomination… Recently they have both said that they would stand behind the Democratic party no matter what the outcome of this race. If that is the case then why can’t anyone call it for what it is? A TIE! If you include all 50 states, this is just that, a TIE… That being said we can only have one nominee… Or can we? Could we not tell Hillary and Obama that it’s a tie, and we want both of them??? They say they’ll do what’s better for the party, we know that if Hillary and Obama came together and ran on one ticket they would be UNSTOPPABLE!
So who should head the ticket? We know that Hillary has a better track record and better chance at beating McCain, she is better know, she has the rural and blue collar voters, and she has more experience, we know Obama has a great record with African Americans and most college student… We know that McCain will argue inexperience and elitism against Obama… What If Hillary was on the top of the ticket and Obama as vice for at least the first term, we know they would take this election. Obama would gain the additional experience and connection with the people that he needs to build his relationships with. This would make him prepared to win subsequent elections. As a team these two candidates could keep us in office for 12-16 years!!! Both candidates share the desire to make major changes, together they can get this done! If in the end the Democratic convention makes the decision, I would hope that this is an option that is discussed and offered to Obama and Hillary. The country is divided but could easily be brought together, both parties would benefit from a Clinton/Obama merger! Thank you for your time! Good luck with your convention, I know this is a hard decision.
Sinserely,
Chandra RN
