Debbie Wasserman Schultz, a friend to the end

Gyi0055052827_2

Florida Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz (far right in this Getty Images photo) was an ardent Hillary Clinton supporter who refused to bail when so many others were. So it was not surprising to see Wasserman Schultz, a national campaign co-chair, on stage in New York tonight.

The two hugged at the end of Clinton's speech in which she declared: "This has been a long campaign and I will be making no decisions tonight."

Comments

Debbie a real Democrat who is helping Republicans in South Florida.

Debbie a real class act.

At least someone has the grit to stand on their principles.

thank you Congresswoman Schultz

Obama WILL NOT win withour Clinton as his VP. He best tell his wife to suck it up and accept the fact they can't win without Hillary.

Take it to the bank. Hillary will be the VP.

Why were several posts on this thread deleted?

Is the Times censoring anything that does not agree with its political position? If so, why not just shut down this blog/

This is not the first time.

Obama = Howard Dean's Gestapo thug. Elitist snobs all pushing their agenda AGAINST the popular vote.

DNC is NOT representing us. Superdelegates (read elite) decide the election for the Common Man!

We appreciate Debbies loyalty.She would not support Dems opposing A Floria Cuban congressman..Even thoughThe Dems are gonna win.Cubans in Dade are losin their homes just as fast as others ..They are turning away from Geo Bush and friends..The Diaz Ballart Bros are in serious trouble being ties exclusively to their president in a Blue County..The have serious Dem opponents!!

“The Times, Hillary Clinton, and Debbie Wasserman Schultz are the greatest things in the world! Thank God for all of them, or we’d all die tomorrow.”

Now that’s a post that won’t be censored.

they took this off, "I wish Wasserman would stay in New York."

... but left 1:15 on ... you do the math...

GOP hate the Times because it's not part of their state-controlled media.

Long Live the Buzz and the SPT!!!

Thanks for you input, 8:47 ...errr.. Adam!

Welcome to 21st Century America. We can walk into our voting booth and select the candidate who will do the best job for us.

Our heads were not be filled with what fearmongers put there.

Americans did vote for their choice of best candidate. We erased the asterisk of citizenship doubt -- "others" will vote for a woman or a jew or a catholic or a bi-racial candidate.

The uber-wealthy who profit from feeding us fears of each other, LOST.

We Americans joined votes and rejected those who make money trying to convince us -- we the people -- that we are not smart enough to govern ourselves. Yes WE can.

Good for Debbie. I am glad to see someone actually have the courage to stand with a friend during tough times. We all should be so fortunate to have people like that in our lives. Today, so many abandon you at the first sign of trouble. While I am philosophically opposite of Debbie I really appreciate her stand with Hil.

I think the original photo was better… talk about a Stonewall fantasy! Whoooooo, that was hot.

Hillary should go do her job in the Senate. Maybe she will FINALLY read the classified report she didn't bother to read -- before voting to let George Bush start an aggressive war for profit -- against innocents.

Shame on Hillary.

NO veep for you. No prez for McCain who wants to keep killing in Iraq.

NO high office for two brutal politician who want to NUKE Iran.

How about an "umbrella" for Americans? We are tired of getting soaked. No more chickenhawk, bullies, who get rich by PROMOTING wars.

"NO high office for two brutal politician who want to NUKE Iran."

No one WANTS to nuke Iran. However, nuclear diplomacy has always and will always give the U.S. the upper hand in any negotiation, should it come to that.

Note to West Virginia: STOP BLAMING AMERICA FOR YOUR RACISM!

If I have to listen to one more back-woods, jerk-weed, straw-chewing, illiterate, inbred hick – when asked why (as a Hillary supporter) you will vote for McCain now that Obama is your nominee – reply, “America ain’t ready for a (uncomfortable “PC” pause here) black President… I think I’m going to freaking blow my top.

As a white, male, college-educated, lower poor (formerly known as middle class), decent wage earning, American… I have no problem voting for, and in fact WILL vote, for this man. If y’all (pi) should decide to change your Party affiliation because our nominee is a (uncomfortable “PC” pause here) black man… I say thank you very much, and we will not stop you. It’s a great way to purge our Party of the very loud minority of nutjobs that have damaged us for so many years.

Sounds like you are the insensitive, believe like me or leave nut job that should leave the Party!! You sound a bit elite to me.

Your college education has made you into one of those college-educated idiots who will cause Obama to go down in flames.

1:23,

Wide right... dope...

Btw, I'm not an elitist, nor am I bitter... although I do own guns and attend church regularly.

Ditto ,1:14

Obama the Killer!!

Here is his position on abortion. I'm sure the person who posted at 1:14 PM is in the same boat with him since they are all brainwashed to follow the Messiah's Hitler-like approach to humanity.

I'll “turn the babies brain to mush and kill her, call her a fetus to deny her humanity and spiritual relevance supporter, but I pray for those brave mothers who choose death and the doctors and nurses who terminate life.”

Ditto ,4:23

4:23 the Axe Murderer!

Here is 4:23's position on anyone with a brain or an original thought not rendered verbatim in the Holy Book:

Chop Chop Chop!

4:23 is right… we need those babies to grow up, so we can send them to their death in Iraq for corporate profit and daddy revenge!

The NEW Republican Party Motto:

“Pro Life… at least until you’re 18… or black”
