    Fainting at Obama Meetings

    I was out driving today and playing radio roulette. Ended up with Dori Monson on 710 KIRO. He was talking about how there have been a person, front & center, fainting at several of Obama’s rallies. When he started watching clips of each event, he said he thought it odd that the person was always front & center, and that he thought Obama basically said the same things each time and always had an unopened bottle of water at his podium that he’d give the person. (It wasn’t the same person at each event.) So Monson’s wondering if these individuals were plants. One caller was a security guy at concerts and he said inevitably someone front & center at concerts faints, and Monson shouldn’t read more into this than people faint.

    For sake of objectivity re: Obama, here is Dori Monson’s website.

    He’s got several of these clips on there so people can watch and decide for themselves. Monson thinks this will show up in the press more and wonders if, after this becomes more public, we’ll stop seeing people fainting at Obama rallies.

    I hope it’s just that it’s hot, folks aren’t eating, and they’re just getting caught up in the moment and getting light-headed. I keep searching for a politician who is genuine.

    Based on the enormous media exposure the issue is receiving, I don’t think we need to worry too much about the superdelegates not respecting the will of the people (the superdelegates who are elected officials, that is). As some pundits have pointed out, the Clinton machine seems to operate out of fear, and many Clinton-committed delegates must be savoring the opportunity to defect to Obama if his momentum continues.

    If Hillary doesn’t win Texas or Ohio by significant margins, it’ll be difficult for Clinton-committed superdelegates to alter the course of the nomination, anyway. It is important, though, that people contact their U.S. Reps. and Senators Cantwell and Murray to urge them to reconsider their allegiance to Sen. Clinton. Fortunately, my congressman, Adam Smith, is the co-chair of the Obama campaign in WA State, so I don’t need to worry about his vote! Other elected superdelegates, like Ron Sims, might need a little wake-up slap to help them remember who they work for.
