Dear Senator Clinton,


Yes, I felt compelled to send the below to the Clinton campaign, although I feel a bit superficial because am annoyed by actual policy? No. Word choice. Inproper verbiage. But, whatever, her Obama baiting has ticked me off.


Senator Clinton,

I'm deeply disappointed in your decision to not only mischaracterize Mr. Geffen as having an official role in the campaign of Senator Obama, but then to continue to do so. Repeatedly. After having the mischaracterization pointed out to your spokesman. Repeatedly.

I’m sorry to say that all I can think of when your campaign does so is the infamous parsing of the meaning of the word ‘is.’ I will not be voting for someone who cannot use words accurately - even if the 'is' fiasco had never occurred, I’ve had enough Orwellian language in the past 6 years to last me a lifetime.

I will not exaggerate the level of my support prior to this incident, which was declining due in large part to what I perceive to be pandering to the religious right. But this really does seem to be the straw that has broken this particular camel’s back. You have certainly lost my support.

i'm slowly gathering my loins to enter the blogorific period called The Election Primaries and i have to admit i'm not looking forward to it.

will obama be stripped bare of his humanity and gracefulness? will hilary's blog fan base swarm her opponents and beat them into submission? who knows. ugh. i don't need the inevitable nervous breakdown.
