Last week I attended a meeting of local Hillary supporters at Mannie Rodriguez's place to review what took place at the Colorado CD 6 Convention on May 3. Last Saturday I attended the CD 2 convention. At both conventions there was a drop-off of support for Barack Obama, while Hillary Clinton’s support held steady.

It's amazing what you find in comments on other blogs.

I was over on riverdaughter this morning looking at her latest post...which is terrific by the way...and in reading the comments, followed a link to a very disturbing post by Matt Stoller on Open Left.

It looks like he has deleted the specific reference to Vote Vets but it was captured in the original comment at RD.....

Warning! This diary is not for the faint of heart. I say every vote must count or we should walk out.

In addition to shedding great light on how Hillary early on learned to be such a fighter, and how she became a supporter of progress for all people, this video also contains a brief description of the time Hillary and Bill first met:

It's already begun, and it is getting attention. For example, look at this "Willie Horton" type ad that is currently in third position on today's most watched YouTube political and news videos
