Clark Supporters: Let's Piss Them Off and WIN TN
In the past week I heard Tucker Carlson say "Unfortunately a win in Oklahoma will encourage Clark to stick around for another week."

Yesterday I heard Joe Trippi say "the biggest nightmare would be for Clark to win TN, Edwards to win VA, and Dean to pick off Maine. That would assure nobody would drop out and we'd have four candidates stumbling into Super Tuesday."

The Kerry Coronation can't come soon enough for the media. If Clark wins TN - it really throws a monkey wrench into their plans.

Much has been made of eBlocking but I can tell you this...I know I've talked a few people out of their votes for Kerry and Edwards, and pushed a few off the fence into the Clark camp. And that's just ME!

As a group we're a formidable presence.

2. That would make this nomination more crazy.
I would like to see each candidate win a state so other states can hold primaries.

3. I heard Clark say in his
interview with Wolf Blitzer today, that the Oklahoma primary was a closed primary, which means that Republicans couldn't vote in it. I thought I heard him say, please confirm if you heard it, that in Tennessee Republicans will be able to vote. He says he'll get some moderate Republican voters. God, I surely hope so. He is just THE best.

4. I'm a Dean supporter but I do hope the General
wins Tenn. It would hurt the preselected looser and dosn't matter in the G.E. anyway it's a red state.

5. Yeeeeeaaaaaaaaarrrrrrgh!
Yes we are (a formidable presence) and yes we can (win TN and what the heck, VA too!) and if needed (and/or helpful) we'll even draw on the Dr's battlecry! ;)

Let's have a good one all, for the sake of Democracy!

I'm severely mistrusting this ominous trend towards similarity with a North Korean election, so let's pick up a few dozen more off the eBlocks...

Throw a serious wrench into the media's plans! I can't call today, but tomorrow I will make a minimum of 50 phone calls! Let's prove those media bastards wrong!

9. Just made my first 10 calls to TN on eBlocks.
It's easy. I phone-banked a couple of days in St. Louis, and eBlocks is much better. You can just sit at home and make calls from there.

10. Democracy doesn't piss me off
Win Tennessee, it'd be great! Talking to people about Clark and getting the votes is what you're supposed to be doing. Because you believe in your guy, not to piss anybody off. I think I talked someone into supporting Edwards yesterday because they liked his health care plan better than Kerry's. Fine by me, I just want lots and lots and lots of Democrats voting. And the candidate that the most Democrats support will win the nomination. Whoever it is.

11. I just wish Clark wasn't sucha rookie
He would have made a good sec. of state or something. But he's a loose cannon. You never know what might pop out of his mouth. I'm certainly glad he won't be our nominee.

12. Just completed my first ten
My fingers are still shaking, but the reception was pretty good! We can counteract the press, the media and the premature K-jaculation.

13. I have a question (or two):
Will it be a problem to call people (say, in TN) during the middle of the day, or are they asking that all the calls be made later (after 5pm until 8 or 9)?

Do you really think the media, with their limited memory and intellect and overblown egos, will be able to "learn" that they aren't in charge of our primaries and nom process?

20. Call at any reasonable hour. Day is fine
There are more phone numbers available to call than we will all be able to get to anyway. Better to leave some personal messages on some answering machines than not to reach people at all. Plus some people are home in the day, retired people often are for example.

If we can push Clark to victory on Tuesday, that will be a wake up call to the media who wrote Clark off before New Hampshire and started jumping up and down for John Edwards (not saying anything negative about John Edwards mind you, but the media did start jumping up and down for him while ignoring Clark).

14. Yeah, the General is their WORST nightmare alright!
He calls them on their carp and does it with an enchanting smile and mesmerizing eyes!! A war hero General with in your face charisma and tough as nails no-nonsense ethics presents a huge problem for the media whores!

Let's take Tennesses on Tuesday! KICK ARSE GENERAL CLARK!

:kick: :bounce: :kick:

17. I couldn't believe that Tucker said that!
I hope Clark wins TN. I don't think I could handle another "dropping out" speech - I even got choked up about Lieberman and Gephardt. I'm such a baby. :cry:

Clark's speech last night fired me up. I'd follow him through hell! Let's win one for the General! And then a whole bunch more!

22. Eblocking today, tomorrow and Tuesday.
Got a couple of friends on board and have been calling all day. Talked a few people off the fence to the General and had some interesting discourse with Kerry and Edwards supporters. Don't know if I made them change but I did get them to think. One hostile Kerry supporter asked why he should vote for Clark since he's a republican. My response had him backpedaling seriously and he sort of gave me an embarrassed "I need to check up on him more." before thanking me and hanging up. I find that I really had to slow down my speech patterns to be understandable, we talk so fast up here in the Mid-Atlantic states those laid back southerners can't follow. I should have remembered that from my visits to California and Washington state. This is quite fun.

Go Wes Go!
