My name is Catherine Morgan, I'm a writer, nurse, mother, and founder of "The Political Voices of Women". This is a blog dedicated to inform and educate the voting public through articles, ideas, and links. It's also a way of giving myself a voice, rather than just sitting back and watching politics and my opinion go by.
--- I am now also at the Care2 Election Blog.
Here is the footage of Hillary Clinton uniting the Democrats, by asking for a suspension of the roll call, and nomination of Barack Obama by acclamation.
Hillary Clinton came out representing New York minutes ago and proclaimed that her state was giving all of their votes to Senator Obama, then she called for an affirmation to suspend the roll call and vote as one body to support Barack Obama as president. Nancy Pelosi asked for a second, there were hundreds, and she asked for a vote, the house roared, and she announced he is the official nominee of the Democratic party. We’ve made history. The first woman Speaker of the House announced it and the first viable woman candidate for president did her duty for the good of the party and the country. Goose bumps…

Whoever wins women this year may win the White House. Hillary voters are pivotal–are they still disaffected by the perceived sexism of the MSM and the Obama campaign? Or will they vote Dem in the end? Barack sends out Michelle, who lately described her husband as a fashion accessory, while Sen. McCain’s emissary Carly Fiorina reached out to Hillary voters in New York.
Check out the response from Paris Hilton to the use of her image in the McCain attack ad on Obama. This is very funny, and tragically sensical. See the video here.
