Let us not be misled into believing that Sen. Obama and Sen. McCain are our choices come November. After the powerful DNC member (who is blocking FL) and prominent Obama supporter, Donna Brazile, openly declared on CNN that they dont need support of HISPANICS and white working class voters (and I assume by extension fervent Clinton supporters); there is no point in wasting our precious vote. Those who do not want our vote are not going to be looking for our interests at all. So, come November, remember that Sen Obama and Sen McCain are not our only choices. We have two very powerful advocates of progressive politicians running for President. They both support Universal Health Care, are strongly pro-choice, have a long history of fighting for Core progressive values. I speak of Ralph Nader and Congresswoman Cynthia Mckinney. Indeed, Cynthia McKinney has also done that rare thing that Sen. Obama has not done- voted against FUNDING the war. So, when those obnoxious Sen. Obama supporters challenge you ``so you are going to vote for Sen. McCain'', just turn around and say, ``nope, we have real choices come November.''
