Dear Super Delegate Miller,

I am in your district and am writing to urge you to switch your Convention voting pledge from Barack Obama to Clinton and
for the chance TO MAKE Change, to get the presidency in November with someone who has the energy, knowledge, enthusiasm for the tedium of solving problems, and a mastery of detail involved in the issues facing us.

Please consider that all companies doing statistical analyses of all the electoral-college polling for matches against McCain show Clinton winning against McCain while Obama loses against McCain using the electoral college map.

Note too that since March she has received 600,000 more votes than he and that she has won in the states we need strongly and has won by HUGE margins never seen before against a presumptive nominee, in WVa (41 pts), Kentucky (35 pts), and now Puerto Rico (36 pts). (Obama is a weak candidate for us in Nov.)

She will almost surely have won the popular vote also, and Michigan was unique in that Obama removed his own name and encouraged other Dems to do this, to isolate Clinton for Iowa purposes. It was his choice to do that, and the vote is state-certified, so the voters should not be ignored there.

Florida was influenced by the paper-trail amendment we've long wanted - see my http://www.andrys.com/flballot.html
for the strength of feeling re votes. After that bill passed, the Florida party pushed an amendment to move the date BACK to Feb. 5 but the Republican majority voted that down. So the party did try. I am alienated from a party that would punish the Florida VOTERS for this. And it of course influenced the momentum of the entire primary race.

3% of the voting in the caucuses represented 14% of the party delegates given.

Please consider strongly which candidate will lead us to win the presidency in November. Obama lost all his momentum after SOME of his past influences were made clear and there is much more to come from Republican 527's. Can he withstand that as our presidential nominee?
Please look at the primaries since March.

Howard Dean told the Financial Times:
"I think the race is going to come down to the perception in *the last six or eight races* of who *the best opponent for McCain* will be.

I agree. Please do your best for the Democrat Party by
not overlooking Hillary Clinton. A ticket headed by her and with Obama as VP would be a landslide victory for us.

Otherwise, things are looking bleak, and I think you do realize that, and you do have the power to save us in November.

Thank you for reading this and checking out the many current electoral-college poll results. You already know what an unusually well-equipped candidate we have in Clinton. It's crucial for all of us that we do have the chance to change the entire direction of this country in November.



Sincerely,
Andrys Basten
