Loretta Sanchez Needs to Know Her Role and Shut Her Mouth
This isnt about you Loretta. This is about our country. You dont need to be personally reached out to in order to get behind your party's nominee. Do what is best for this country instead of thinking about yourself. You should be ashamed of yourself. You are supposed to be a "leader" of this party. Get your act together, start leading, and get behind Barack Obama.

Rant Over

I've been away for a couple months and I just heard on MSNBC that she still hasnt endorsed Obama because they havent reached out to her enough to their liking.

Continue.

1. Eh, fuck her. Obama's camp should reach out to her and slap her across the face.
He deserves her support because he's a DEMOCRAT--no more is required of him.

Advocating violence against an elected offical. Disagree with her, but advocating assualting her is a bit much -- and also against DU rules.

edit--in case you're confused about the "fuck her" part, don't take that literally either.

10. That is a terrible thing to say
regardless if dislike her statement.

So, you want Obama to slap a Latino woman and put her in line?

14. Oh for God's sake. Yes, the entire entity that is the Obama campaign
is going to confront Loretta Sanchez, and in unison, all slap her. Holy fuck. Not meant to be taken literally. It's like I'm talking to fourth graders.

11. LOL! Slapping is a tad much but hit her where it will really hurt her--voters.
She'll run again and her opponent will remember all of her divisive words and tactics and go on and on about how she cares more about HER needs than those of her constituents.

3. She should be asked who she will vote for in November.
Should be a clear and easy answer...Obama.

6. So reach out to Loretta
You catch more flies with honey than vinegar.

That said, I wish Loretta would reach out to the good of the country, but if she wants an invitation herself, I say, Give it to her.

7. What is this bullshit about reaching out to her supporters?
Is that normal?

I don't recall Hillary reaching out to me when Biden dropped out in January.
But she ended up being my 2nd choice.

Is it a common practice for the nominee to have to do a song and dance to win over the supporters of another candidate? I always thought that Dems rallied around the nominee because it is that important to put a Dem in the Whitehouse. Even if you aren't happy about who the nominee is, isn't s/he better than the alternative?

Sorry - I find this all very bizarre.
