(Proudly cross-posted at Clintonistas for Obama)
And we’re listening. Last weekend, I asked for you to help us at Clintonistas for Obama create the perfect ActBlue list. And guess what? Thanks to your help, I think we’ve created something quite remarkable!
Please follow me after the flip to see the full results…
These are our new C4O All-Stars! These are the candidates who we think:
1. Best embody Barack Obama’s message of change
2. Best represent Hillary Clinton’s strong progressive values
3. Have a terrific shot of winning this fall
We listened to your suggestions on which races we should pay attention to. We did our own research on which races are truly winnable. And today, we’ve come up with a list of terrific candidates who we think will make great additions to the 111th Congress! While I don’t have enough time to talk about all of these candidates, I’d like to highlight some of our new additions.
Martin Heinrich is an awesomely progressive Albuquerque City Council member who has a great shot at turning this red New Mexico district blue once and for all. Glenn Nye knows what real patriotism looks like, and he’s a true patriot who will make Southeast Virginia proud. Linda Stender nearly upset the entrenched far-right GOP incumbent in this moderate New Jersey district in 2006, and she has what it takes to finish the job in 2008. Ann Kirkpatrick has changed people’s lives for the better in the Arizona Legislature, and she’s looking to make more positive change as Northern Arizona’s representative to Congress. And finally, I must mention proud veteran Gary Peters in Michigan and smart businesswoman Suzanne Kosmas in Florida.
I can guarantee you that if we support these & all our other fantastic C4O All-Star Democrats, we’ll see real change for the better in Congress next year. I’m doing all I can for Debbie Cook here in Southern California because I know she’s a true-blue agent of change. I urge all of you to support your local Democratic candidates as well.
Take a look at our list, and see if we have a candidate listed near you. Donate. Volunteer. Just go out and get active! You told us who to love, so let’s all work together to make sure they win! 🙂
Oh yes, and don’t forget…

Smart business woman, Huh! Oh yeah smart enough to become a millionaire while in the State House. Hum? I wonder how that happened?
Favors for Favors! Kosmas sucks just watch the news.
First of all, I want to say how great it is to see a blog like Clintonistas For Obama working to help unite Democrats to win this November. I’m so proud to be recognized on a list of great candidates who you feel “best embody Barack Obama’s message of change” and “best represent Hillary Clinton’s strong progressive values.” And of course, I’m thrilled to read that you all feel that my campaign “has a terrific shot of winning this fall”!
This is such an important election year. We have a tremendous opportunity to right the wrongs that the Bush Administration has forced upon us for the past eight years. And if you’re in the area and can help out our campaign, we’d be so honored to have you. You can visit my website and sign up to volunteer, or even just check out our calendar to join us for some fun events here in New Jersey.
Thanks so much!
