I am a big fan of Countdown even though I have disagreed with some of Keith's comments in the past. I enjoyed last night's show but unfortunately it may have landed one of the subjects of Keith's "best persons" in a whole lot of hot water with the federal government. For those of you who missed it Keith included a company who's employees volunteered to work for the day to help keep the company up and running. And how they even made tips that day. Well unfortunately...

To posters: Please keep in mind I am writing this diary so that Keith can be aware of the error. He does not have a direct e-mail and I have no other way of reaching him. So please place tongue firmly in cheek before reading on...

President-elect Obama must rethink picking Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State immediately. For if he does seriously pick her then he will lose his perfect record as the first President since FDR to not have a woman in his cabinet.

I have watched CNN since its inception. In fact, I worked for a cable company in the middle 80's when it was known by insiders as the "Chicken Noodle Network" and got to watch it grow from that perspective. I even visited CNN in the early 90’s while on a speaking engagement in Atlanta and took the whole "tourist" tour of the network. I even made one of those "you sit in the anchor chair and read the news" videos that I still have to this day. So this is why I just don't understand what happened to the integrity the network had when it first used its tag line "the most trusted name in news".

and it took Jon Stewart to do it? There are many here on Kos who in the past few weeks and months have posted in response to mine and other Hillary supporters' diaries that there was no sexism in the coverage of Hillary by the MSM.

This rumor of sexism was just a myth. That Hillary supporters searched analyzed and scrutinized every word and syllable searching for a hint, a glint, a shred of something that could be misconstrued to be sexist. I, myself, was told time and time again by posters to my diaries show us where this sexism is. Prove it. Give us examples. And, most of course, said you can’t use Chris Mathews since he is obviously sexist. I saw one comment here and one there. One time Keith Olberman, or one time Tucker Carlson. But I didn't write each one down and record it for the record.

Update: All the posters seem to indicate that "no one" has called Hillary supporters racists. I guess I miss read alot of the responses to my diaries. But let me site one instance within the last two days. MSNBC, Dan Abrams show, young black woman Obama supporter pundit to Abrams in refering to Hillary being on Ticket..."I am not saying that all of Hillary supporters are bigots...". Both Tucker Carlson and Abrams said "gee thanks" almost in unison. She then realized what she said. That is my point.

In an exit opinion poll discussed on Countdown: 62% of people will not vote for a woman while only 53% said they would not vote for African American in states where Obama won, no one said that Obama supporters were sexists. Which they are not. But it is to prove the difference between the labeling of the supporters that I speak of it.

Obama in November movement. And all you have to do to join in is wait for it to come around again on the guitar (or in this case the November election) with feelin'... Sorry to paraphrase the old song from Arlo Guthrie but it really seems to fit. For those bloggers to young to remember or for those who are old enough to still have the LP but are having a senior moment just google "Alice's Restaurant". My point is that what I thought was just my own personal feelings of the way the Democratic Party has treated Hillary and her historic bid to be the first woman President is not mine alone. And this feeling is being translated into lost votes come November if the Dems don't do somthing to stop it and fast.

We have all seen and heard the exit polls of how a large segment of the older white women voters will not vote for Obama come November or will just not vote in the election. We have seen how Dan Abrams is shocked at this statistic. We hear Dan Abrams showing dismay at the statistic and then his pundits declaring unequivicable that this demographic will be there on election day no matter what they say now. But is that true? I decided to do a little polling of my own.

Yesterday I used my daily diary to respond to a another poster's diary about how this blog needs to be more "civil" to Hillary supporters from now on. I agreed with his views and gave my reasons why. My main point was that my demographic, older, white women were being treated as pariah by Obama supports and taken for granted by the candidate himself. Quoted during a debate: "I am confident I will get her votes if I'm the nominee," Obama stressed. "It's not clear she would get the votes I got if she were the nominee."

I stated that if the current situation remains the same that my demographic would not only not vote for Obama but may even leave the party, comments ranged from "how could I be so selfish" to go ahead and leave since you are not really a Democrat anyway to a very insulting statement that I want all the "darkies" to go away (the word I use here is the one the poster used and not mine). I will answer those particular comments later on but the one comment that I think is really important to address is the one that simple asked "What will it take to keep you?".

I am one of the Hillary supporter groups (over 50 white married woman college education business owner) who has been taking alot of the hits in this campaign. I agree with smash artist that this blog has gone from being for all Democrats to being a bash Clinton love Obama blog. I have not posted my two cents worth because I believe this kind of dialog to be nonproductive for me. I speak for noone else but myself and pass no judgement on those who have another opinion. I am just stating mine at this point. However one point I think does need to be raised and I may not be the first one to do so but I want to include my voice with those who have. I started to post as a response to his diary but felt I had too much to say and decided to do my own. And what I want to say is this: my demographic cannot be taken for granted in this election as it has in the past so if there is not a change in attitude we may just take out toys (read time, effort and money) and go home.

It has been a long time since I have actually posted a diary. I enjoy reading the posts and getting different points of view but have just not been motivated to add my two cents until now. Most of the posts I read have valid points for either side and give strong arguments to their point of view. One guy likes Obama, one guy likes Clinton. All make excellent points, albeit sometimes a little out there, but you can see where they are coming from. I get good info from both sides. But not this time. One post made me have to stop and actually comment. That post was by Buck Power "Keith Olbermann a Sexist?!? Someone Get Rachel Sklary a Dramamine."

Buck states rather passionately that Keith can't be a sexist because Buck just doesn't see it that way. The "Hillarybots" (his term) are searching desperately for something to say against Keith to prove he is a sexist. Well I hate to break it to you Buck but Keith is a sexist and your opinion on sexism doesn't count!

Every year I have a tradition of reading or should I say re-reading A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens.

I attended a conference call on Wednesday, December 6th sponsored by Progressive States Network regarding mandating paid sick days for American workers. Requiring employers to pay employees for sick leave is a growing movement.

I am updating my Christmas (not Holiday, so there Bill!) list and I thought I would check out the latest installment of what to buy the conservative who has everything list that Human Events publishes. This week they are touting Bill O’Reilly’s latest literary endeavor, "Culture Warrior".
