Marissa Ferrer-Diaz & Regina Eusebio, radio personalities on Latino AM Rocky Mountain Radio radio which enjoys thousands of Latino listerners in 6 states:
New Mexico,Colorado,Nevada,Arizona,Californi
a & Utah are reporting today that they have received an "astonishing" number of close to 400 calls & emails in just 24 hours since the official kick-off of the " Clinton Supporters Count too " movement on the eve of May 14, 2008.
For those who are not familiar with this movement. Let me quote the actual words released to the media:
CLINTON SUPPORTERS COUNT TOO:
"This is the women's group leading a rebellion against the good old boys network of pundits and Democrat party operatives whose sexist assault on the first viable female presidential candidate continues to aid Barack Obama, the less qualified male candidate, over Hillary Clinton, the better qualified female candidate. The founders are a group of white, latino & african-american women who support Hillary Clinton. They are spread in battleground states with headquarters in Ohio. They will not support Senator Barack Obama in the fall."
Ms. Ferrer-Diaz expects an even large swell of Latinos to come forward once the last primary state is completed & Obama is annointed as the nominee by the DNC.
Latino Activists in Missouri, Michigan, Ohio & even Illinois are reporting similar trends in just 24 hours. The same is happening in the northeast corridor of PA,NJ,MA & NY courtesy of Maria Eloisa Hidalgo in the East coast.
CSCT founders are appearing in O'Reilly & Larry King. The Ellen De Generes show is also reported interested in inviting them.
They are also slated to appear in Latino TV in California & New Mexico next week.
Obama better reach out to these people before its too late.
He is already weak among latinos, women & working class whites.
Now these 3 major blocks of the democratic party have a venue to unite & possibly damage his candidacy big time.
This will get very big quickly if not addressed.
He is already weak as it is with these traditional groups. This will only damage him more.
The email for this democratic clinton supporters group is:
