Prominent Clinton supporters tell Hillary Donors And Supporters to stop whining and get behind Obama

Top Dem Party Officials Send Sharply-Worded Email Demanding That Hillary Donors And Supporters Get Behind Obama


By Greg Sargent - July 19, 2008, 12:20PM

In a sign that senior Democratic officials remain deeply concerned that post-primary bitterness could imperil Barack Obama's chances, two top Democratic officials have emailed a sharply-worded letter to major donors and other leading Dems confessing "fatigue and irritation" at those withholding full support from Obama and demanding that they get behind him "without conditions or demands."

"I supported Hillary Clinton and am proud and pleased that I did," reads the email, which was written by Donald Fowler, a former DNC chair and DNC member-at-large who was one of Hillary's most prominent supporters. Alice Germond, the Secretary of the DNC, is also a signatory.

"But she lost," continues the email, which was sent our way by a source. Barack Obama won. It's over."

"It is time for all Democrats, supporters of Senator Clinton and all other contenders for the nomination, to stand with him to secure his election and the election of Democrats at all levels of competition," the email continues.

2. Hillary continues to demonstrate why she is not ready yet for the
Big House. If you can't gather up these nuts--which she was perfectly capable of doing during the primary to get $2 and $3 donations from them, then she ought to be able to call them up now. She is working against her own future and she won't be the VP.

4. Obama doesn't own me
and Hillary doesn't own her supporters.

Obama can't tell me what to do in any capacity after the campaign is over. He can ask but it doesn't mean I'll do it.

5. This isn't divisive
it won't get nearly the response the "PUMA" threads get. This doesn't fit the perception of Hillary or her former primary supporters that many here wish to keep alive.

7. Excuse me, but don't you mean...
..."The War Against the Yankee Aggressor"?

Or, perhaps, "The Late Unpleasantness"?
