While I was looking up SuperDelegate addresses, I found this, from June 14, 2008:

Internationally known novelist John Grisham and his wife, Renee, both active Democrats, drove from their home outside Charlottesville to the convention in Hampton.

Mrs. Grisham was selected this afternoon to serve as a delegate at the Democratic National Convention, where she plans to support Hillary Clinton even though Barack Obama won enough delegates to secure the nomination. Grisham will accompany his wife to Denver.

What do the Grishams think of Obama?

"We're Hillary people,'' he said.

Grisham might could help us, especially, since his wife is a SuperDelegate.

See, real Hillary people can't be swayed by Kool-Aid. Good for them.

Great - Grisham is one smart man and his novels are full of amazing stories of graft and corruption and fighting the evil ones. Seems very appropriate he would be at the convention for Hillary.

Might be an idea for someone to put a diary of all events - caucuses - dnc trio - corruption and associates to Barry Soetoro leading up to the convention and send it all to Grisham.....he might very well write a book/movie

That would be one juicy book/movie! Here's what I posted:

It just shows the difference between the Obama supporter and the Clinton supporter. Barack has bad judgment, bad associations, and bad character. He should be nowhere near the White House. People who love America deeply will work to elect Senator Clinton. Obama is unqualified and unelectable - his polls are tanking because more and more are realizing that.

I read in my local newspaper a few weeks ago that Grisham doesn't think Obama can win. But that was in a nevative context of course because eeeeeeeeverybody in my city wishes that Obama will win. Sure: everybody exept from me. I'm a little bit stubborn. ;)

You, too?!? :D

I just read a german article about Saddleback.
It was about 98% for BHO, how smart he gave the answers, and how awesome his positions are.
The 2% percent were background.
They did mention McCain aboutm three times, just to show in one sentence how he differs from BHO.

I can't stand it! :mad:

I just read one at "Spiegel online" and it was a little bit critical. They said he was too intellectual and McCain was better than Obama. Maybe we should cut that one out and hang it on the wall. :rolleyes:
