Superdelegate: Joyce Brayboy


Joyce BrayboyJoyce Brayboy will decide on the issues and electability.

The Washington, D.C.-based lobbyist, an at-large member of the Democratic National Committee, will be a superdelegate at the national convention.

For now, she's uncommitted to either Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton.

Brayboy, a public policy lobbyist with the Glover Park Group, served as chief of staff for U.S. Rep. Mel Watt for 14 years. She calls Charlotte home, although she currently works in D.C.

She said she will study both candidates' positions on health care and education, though she will also consider their electability before she makes a decision.

"This will be a learning process for me," she said.

Brayboy, who was appointed to the national committee by Howard Dean, has met both candidates over the years, but she says she's been hearing from them in recent weeks.

Re: Superdelegate: Joyce Brayboy

The extremist militant muslim terrorists hidden in Afghanistan and the living rooms in Baghdad/Teheran are CHEERING WITH UNADULTERATED GLEE of a real possibility of a quasi-Muslim President in the "infidel" USA. I am wondering now where these BIG MONEY and DONORS are coming from. It is possible that these Muslim Mosques could be unwittingly the conduit of FINANCIAL BIG BUCKS of extremist muslim terrorist militants. This is CHILLING for AMERICA.

Folks, AMERICA is under siege. Let's protect our IDEALS, VALUES, and FREEDOMS. We need to stop this BHO who could become a quasi-Muslim Prez.

OVERWHELMINGLY SUPPORT HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON -- TOUGH, SEASONED, SAVVY, TAKE-CHARGE, Ken Starr WITCH-HUNT SURVIVOR, and a STRONG MIDDLECLASS SUPPORTER.

Unfortunately, the money machine created by the investors into Barack Obamas campaign will blind not only voters but superdelegates as to his credentials. The washington post article about where Obamas money is really telling. He has more BIG MONEY DONORS than his claimed grassroots donors. His backroom deals with Elite Wealthy Investors is a troubling issue. If he is telling these people who have no connection to small town America that we're bitter and jaded, what is he telling the others where the recording devices have now been banned. I keep hearing the ideas that Hillary is presenting to America, while Obama continues to point fingers at Clinton and ABC News for not playing fairly. They called Clinton a whiner whenever she points out the mistretment and she keeps chugging along. He's retreated to his home in chicago because of the heat. What do you think is going to happen when the Republicans really start attacking?

The smartest thing Dem SuperDelegates/Voters should do is to OVERWHELMINGLY SUPPORT HILLARY CLINTON. There's no way Barack will win the 2008 Elections. He might even drag the whole Dem party to defeat with him. There's just too much killer issues Barack has that it would make a lot easier for the Republican 527 political machines to smother Barack into so many pieces. There are 2 big killer issues that will hound Barack. It's Barack’s close association and relationships with Obama fundraiser domestic terrorist William "Pentagon and NYPD Bomber" Ayers, and with 20-year spiritual advisor and soul mate "God Damn America" preacher Wright. Barack is still friends and proud of them. There's no way AMERICA will accept Barack’s propensity with people whose intent is to hurt America. There's a saying: "Tell me who your friends are, and I'll tell you who you are." Well, Barack's friends are William "Pentagon/NYPD Bomber" Ayers and preacher Jeremiah "GodDamnAmerica" Wright.
