I can't believe how disappointed I am in her. I am one of those
demographics supposedly in her camp....older Dem woman. I was on both
of their email lists to see what they had to say and his message was

campaign vigorously for him. The statement by her that most pissed me
off was when she said she was supported by all the party regulars and
that he was supported by the activist wing of the Dems. Well I was
always part of the activist wing who wanted the Dems to find their
moral principles and stop voting with the Bush team and I really
resented that.
