I made an inquiry at the Gallup and got an interesting reply. The following is my latest response and earlier inquiry:

Jim,

Thank you for the informative reply. However, I do not know of any formal statement from Clinton about not seeking the nomination. There is alot of innuendo about that, but she is being sought by her supporters to step up for nomination. According to the DNC, she is going to be on the ballot for nomination as the presidential candidate at the DNC Convention this August. I called Howard Dean’s office myself and asked. There is alot of support insisting she get a fair vote.

Gallup Polls are highly regarded and monitored at my favorite PUMA blog (www.blog.pumapac.org). We sure would like to see some stats on Clinton versus Obama and McCain.

Thanks,
XXX

XXX,

Senator Clinton suspended her campaign and has declared she is no longer a candidate for the Democratic nomination. In fact, she has encouraged her supporters to support Senator Obama and is actively campaigning for him. Unless and until she indicates she is a candidate again, we are not including her in our polls. Senator Clinton, like all major candidates, conducted her own internal polling to make campaign decisions. I’m sure she’ll continue to do that if she is interested in resuming her campaign.

Thank you,
Jim

Message: I would like to find out about what kind of polling you are doing on Hillary Clinton vs Barack Obama. The primary is not over for another 3 weeks and Clinton is reemerging as a contender.

I adore Hillary, hold her in the highest regard, have known her for more than
20 years.

And she says:

<>

I have.

Will you?

We really *need* you, for all the reasons Hillary could elaborate on much
better than I.

Thanks!

Andy

just heard from someone who was in touch with big shots at the DNC tonight.

They are in a DITHER about Puma PAC and our letters to delegates today! an absolute DITHER.

Never doubt that we can achieve our goals. We are reaching them every day

Murphy, please post this in the morning for the East Coasters to see……………………….this is the kind of news that get’s us pumped up for action.
Way to go Murphy!

Come join us upstairs

How can 18 million Hillary Supporters be wrong???”

Absolutely.

But I will say this: When writing to the superdelegates… I like to shy away from that phrase because for one — it might have been said so many times that the delegates might be rolling their eyes when they hear it. I prefer to make this about the democratic process and get them to not focus on Hillary in case they have an anti-Hillary bias. And on that thought — I’m confident of where I stand on Hillary but I don’t know where the delegates stand. I absolutely adore Hillary and for me — it IS ABOUT HILLARY. But when communicating to delegates — I don’t know what their bias might be so I want to make it about the democratic process. It’s kind of analogous to saying the civil rights movement is about Rosa Parks. I want these idiots to stay focused on preserving the democratic process regardless of their personal feelings for Hillary.

bmw60: Thank you for talking about the PUMA movement. I was a Democrat and changed to an Independent after I saw the fiasco of the Democratic primary and the way the MSM called for Hillary to drop out before all the votes were counted. Hillary was the only one who was concerned about the voters, you know, THE PEOPLE. The people who work, live and make this country the America that I grew up in. The media does not own this country (esp., Jack Cafferty and CNN… I have stopped watching the news there and only watch Lou Dobbs on that station because of him.)

I am voting country before party. Believe me and many others… maybe all don’t speak out, but you can believe they exist and WE AREN’T GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE!!! The Sexism, the mysogeny, the outright lies by the MSM, the lack of pride by the DNC, the distortions of truth by pundits and the DNC, etc.
