I received a call tonight- it was Chelsea Clinton- well a recording of Chelsea, with a very tired sounding voice, asking me to vote for her Mom. The verbiage was actually something like “vote for my Mom. My Mom will NOT GIVE UP!”. She sounded like she had to refrain from adding “dammit anyway” to that sentence.

I also saw the new kinder, gentler commercial ads- Hillary dressed in pink, with some gawdy pink necklace, going on about how she understands Oregonians- she has children & babies 6 in all- 5 are clean cut upper crust white kids & one token black child. She talks about how she will be a tough fighter, and closes with a shot of an infant holding her fingers. Or is she trying to pry money out of the baby’s hand?

I’m not sure. Obamas ads are not totally insulting, but he has the full sized flag background in a classroom setting urging us to turn off our TV’s. I’m not sure you want to be telling people to turn off the machine you are spending millions to run ads on to promote your campaign?

Anyway, the democratic process began via my mailbox on Monday. Oregon has a vote by mail only system.
Oregonians have the hot little ballots in their hands. Many of you have already endured primaries in your state.
I know this circus will escalate until May 20th.
