in About this ‘Electability’ Memo…. on Jack and Jill Politics
I have an idea. If they give HRC the nomination, we should go to McCain as a group, ask him to support two or three of Obama's principal issues, and vote for McCain as a major voting block. He is not going to promise to pull the troops out of Iraq, but he might be persuaded to lower the cost of healthcare for everyone on the front end with subsidies instead of on the back end with tax credits. He might also be willing to giving more federal assistance to schools or actually fully funding and amending the No Child Left Behind Act. Essentially, we would ask him to adopt two or three of Obama's issues in exchange for our votes. If enough of us stick together, we could almost certainly gurantee him a victory in November, and it would show the Dem. Party that we have some negotiating power.


I'd rather McCain win it than HRC, but too many people sacrificed for us to have the right and privilege to vote for us to just stay home. Let's try to get something for our votes in addition to some payback!
