Wake-up Call to the DNC: “The People Are Speaking; Is Our Party Listening?”

Cross posting at TaylorMarsh, Texasdarlin issues a wake-up call to the DNC: “The people are speaking. Is our party listening?”

She recalls Obama’s boast of his power to sway the populace:

“Early in the primaries, Barack Obama promised that he would win more people over the longer he campaigned. He said that every state becomes an "Obama state" once he goes there. But an interesting thing happened as winter turned to spring, and the people kept voting in record numbers. Hillary Clinton stole the momentum. Her popularity soared; her appeal broadened; and she steadfastly became the darling of the masses, even as Barack was crowned darling of the mass media”

But then New Hampshire failed to become an Obama state, and Hillary took off:

“It started back in New Hampshire, when Hillary "found her voice," but what really happened is that the American people have found Hillary. And there's nothing like raw data to illustrate the point:

“*Electoral-Vote.com shows Hillary gaining steam against McCain, now leading by a whopping 110 EV's (315 to 206), with Hillary winning key states like Florida, North Carolina, and West Virginia. (Obama trails McCain by 30 EV's.)

“*Over the last three months, Hillary has won more contests, gained more votes, and earned more delegates. Since March 4th, she has gained nearly 500,000 more popular votes than Barack Obama as voters in crucial battleground states have made their voices known.

“*More Americans have voted for Hillary than any other presidential candidate this cycle. In fact, more people have voted for Hillary than any other primary candidate in history - nearly 18 million so far.

“*Last Tuesday Hillary won 150,000 more votes than Obama in Kentucky and Oregon, even though delegate counts will be split fairly evenly.

“*Hillary has now won nearly 64,000 more votes than Obama in total, when all caucuses and primaries are included.”
