Democratic Convention - musings
It hard to believe that there could be Hillary supporters who would abandon the Democratic Party in favor of the GOP - or not cast a vote at all. We need to follow Senator Clinton’s lead, and give our wholehearted support to Senator Obama. We must not forget that this election is about equal access to healthcare, education and the economy.

Local democratic delegate Pamela Cahill will go to convention
Iris,
thank you so much for giving up your Sunday afternoon and bringing 2 friends to vote for me. It worked. I had enough votes to win up here and beat out all the Napa people too!!! Thanks to all the wonderful Dems in Humboldt County we will now have a rep. at the convention. I will do a daily e-mail to keep people up on the happenings. I will try real hard to get Hillary to sign one of your cards. No guarantees, but I will try.
thanks again,
Pam Cahill

Jason Hill says -
My poster needs some back story. I heard an article about an artist Shepard Fairey who was getting a lot of attention for a poster he made for Obama. So much so that Obama made it an official part of his campaign. I wanted to respond to that by making one for Hillary.

Barack & Hillary Tandem - poster, Schencke
"Hi Iris: Your blog poster is the only political commentary that isn't repetitive, tedious and boring. Keep it coming.
(As to the remainder of the newsmedia coverage: wake me up when its over.)"
"....you manage to capture such a “multi-emotional” composite of each of them…calm, drive, ambition, confidence, uncertainty, acceptance…interestingly, you do have Obama in the lead…"
"Iris – wowowowowowowowowoowowwow! I love it! Although I sure would rather see HRC at the front of the bike, steering the wheels. I’m keeping the faith she will be after Ohio and Texas!!"

Campaign posters - take a look at these - and let's make more
"February 15, 2008, 6:58 pm
Beyond Red, White and Blue
By STEVEN HELLER
Poster designs for political campaigns are usually laden with patriotic clichés — red, white and blue, stars, stripes, eagles — which given their turgid redundancy have a numbing rather than rousing effect.
The reason for this design rut is simple: conventional campaign imagery is usually produced by mainstream advertising agencies slavishly following old formulas lest they make a truly novel statement that might offend a single voter.
But now everyone is talking about the Social Realist inspired poster of Barack Obama by Los Angeles graphic designer and street artist Shepard Fairey, and how unique it is. In truth it’s not all that unique. Indeed, artists have been inspired by particular candidates for years and have designed posters that break the mold not only in terms of color and style but also in message and tone."

"Why Women are never front runners" - Gloria Steinem
"I’m supporting Senator Clinton because like Senator Obama she has community organizing experience, but she also has more years in the Senate, an unprecedented eight years of on-the-job training in the White House, no masculinity to prove, the potential to tap a huge reservoir of this country’s talent by her example, and now even the courage to break the no-tears rule. I’m not opposing Mr. Obama; if he’s the nominee, I’ll volunteer. Indeed, if you look at votes during their two-year overlap in the Senate, they were the same more than 90 percent of the time. Besides, to clean up the mess left by President Bush, we may need two terms of President Clinton and two of President Obama.
But what worries me is that he is seen as unifying by his race while she is seen as divisive by her sex.
What worries me is that she is accused of “playing the gender card” when citing the old boys’ club, while he is seen as unifying by citing civil rights confrontations.
What worries me is that male Iowa voters were seen as gender-free when supporting their own, while female voters were seen as biased if they did and disloyal if they didn’t.
What worries me is that reporters ignore Mr. Obama’s dependence on the old — for instance, the frequent campaign comparisons to John F. Kennedy — while not challenging the slander that her progressive policies are part of the Washington status quo.
What worries me is that some women, perhaps especially younger ones, hope to deny or escape the sexual caste system; thus Iowa women over 50 and 60, who disproportionately supported Senator Clinton, proved once again that women are the one group that grows more radical with age."
an excerpt from Gloria Steinem's op-ed piece, read the whole thing
Blogger: I decided to post this piece, even though it was written on Jan. 8, after the risible reaction to "Hillary's tears", as its relevance is becoming more obvious. One of our artist members became a convinced HRC supporter after reading it.

"Delegates of Steel" - more about the role of superdelegates
"THE Democratic presidential nomination battle is virtually dead even between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. And while Senator Obama has moved ahead in recent days, neither is likely to come close to the 2,025 delegates needed to win the nomination from the pledged delegates they are awarded in primaries and caucuses. So the key to victory is in the 796 votes given to so-called superdelegates, the elected and party officials — members of the Democratic National Committee, Democratic members of the House and Senate and others with automatic status under the party rules. Superdelegates are free agents, able to switch their endorsements or commitments at any time......" from op-ed Delegates of Steel NY Times

Me, I’m voting for Hillary not because she’s a woman—but because I am.
"Goodbye to All That" by Robin Morgan:
".....Time is short and the contest tightening. We need to rise in furious energy—as we did when Anita Hill was so vilely treated in the U.S. Senate, as we did when Rosie Jiminez was butchered by an illegal abortion, as we did and do for women globally who are condemned for trying to break through. We need to win, this time. Goodbye to supporting HRC tepidly, with ambivalent caveats and apologetic smiles. Time to volunteer, make phone calls, send emails, donate money, argue, rally, march, shout, vote.
Me? I support Hillary Rodham because she’s the best qualified of all candidates running in both parties. I support her because her progressive politics are as strong as her proven ability to withstand what will be a massive right-wing assault in the general election. I support her because she knows how to get us out of Iraq. I support her because she’s refreshingly thoughtful, and I’m bloodied from eight years of a jolly “uniter” with ejaculatory politics. I needn’t agree with her on every point. I agree with the 97 percent of her positions that are identical with Obama’s—and the few where hers are both more practical and to the left of his (like health care). I support her because she’s already smashed the first-lady stereotype and made history as a fine senator, because I believe she will continue to make history not only as the first US woman president, but as a great US president.
As for the “woman thing”?
Me, I’m voting for Hillary not because she’s a woman—but because I am."

I am not amused by the demographic profiling
Read more about the demographics and how it seems to influence the election in the NY Times.
Surely there are a lot of educated, career women out there who identify with Hillary Clinton, supporting her?
I am one of them, educated and successful and reasonably well off. But perhaps women like me, have a lot in common with less educated, poorer women, in that we worry about the inadequate and ridiculously expensive health care and about the economy in which savings are reduced by inflation and low rates of return -

"When he or she becomes the president...."
Listen to the language changing. I heard the "he or she" in reference to the presidency again this morning on the radio, after hearing it yesterday on TV news.Also, the commentators are getting more consistent: I hear Hillary and and Barak, Senator Clinton and Senator Obama - the non-parallel use Hillary, Obama becoming less common.
I invite readers of the blog to write comments about the language usage as the election process unfolds.It is already showing that a woman being considered for the presidency can change the outlook of women and girls.

Tony Mason writes: "...the Brits are fascinated by this contest"
"I was interested to hear your views on Hillary. They chime with those of my friend Fred in Memphis, who thinks Obama is "too young". I rather agree with yours: I am still waiting to hear a vision of substance, rather than the vague promise of change... My problem with Hillary is that I listened to a bit of her autobiography on BBC radio. It was dire, smug, colorless, verbal cardboard. In the French election Sarkozy beat Segolene Royal hands down on the charisma front....
I can't imagine Republicans being tempted by either Hillary or Obama...so I imagine McCain could stand a fair chance. He certainly seems a different breed than Dubya, but to me there's a bit of the old-school Vet/CIA air to him which spells a prolongation of our horribly divided world...Anyhow, the Brits are fascinated by this contest. Three-horse race, and they've all got form!"

Kennedy factor and home states
It seems the Kennedy factor was not significant in Massachusetts - and isn't it confidence inspiring that HRC is winning by large margins in the states in which she has been most active: Arkansas and New York. The voters must trust and respect her.
Remember: Al Gore did not carry his home state Tennessee.
Remember: Al Gore did not carry his home state Tennessee.
this is my first presidential election
While I really would like to see this blog to be mostly about art - I feel compelled to say something about how important this election is to me. I have lived in California since 1969, most of that time as an "alien resident" - one of those "green card" holders. As a legal immigrant you pay taxes and earn ss but you can't vote.
As the climate for immigrants in general seemed to deteriorate, I decided to apply for citizenship. 4 years ago, I was sworn in at the Masonic Temple in SF, along with 1300 others. 92 different nationalities were represented. It was my birthday and the same day George W Bush was reelected. A memorable day!

political meanderings - poster, Schencke
Lindsey McLorg, has been using "political meanderings" as the topic for her flurry of messages about the primary campaigns. An apt description. Rivers meander the most in flat territory. Obama's and Clinton's take on issues are so similar - almost a flat land - an opportunity for meandering. Which one would be better able to deliver?
This poster, depicting the meandering Eel River, is dedicated to Lindsey.

about the endorsements
Tonight Jack Nicholson called me on behalf of HRC! Well, it was a robo call, but it was still a thrill to hear his rumbly old voice say that Senator Clinton was "combat tested" and that he would like me to vote for her. Well, I already did!
The NY Times has a story about media endorsers - with pictures - for all the candidates. Guess who seems to have the most?

State Package for Hillary Clinton
You may write me down in history
with your bitter, twisted lies,
You may tread me in the very dirt
but still, like dust, I'll rise.
This is not the first time you have seen Hillary Clinton seemingly at
her wits' end, but she has always risen, always risen, don't forget she
has always risen, much to the dismay of her adversaries and
the delight of her friends.
Hillary Clinton will not give up on you and
all she asks of you, is that you do not give up on her.
There is a world of difference being a woman
and being an old female.
But to become woman is a serious matter.
A woman takes responsibility for the time
she takes up and the space she occupies.
Hillary Clinton is a woman.
She has been there and done that and has still risen.
This is a race for the long haul.
She intends to make a difference in our country.
Hillary Clinton intends to help our country become what it can become.
She declares she wants to see more smiles in the family,
more courtesies between men and women,
more honesty in the marketplace.
She is the prayer of every woman,
and the man who longs for fair play,
healthy families, good schools and a balanced economy.
She means to rise.
Don't give up on Hillary.
In fact, if you help her to rise,
you will rise with her and
help make this country the wonderful, wonderful
place where every man and every woman
can live freely
without sanctimonious piety and without crippling fear.
Rise, Hillary.
Rise.

Lindsey McLorg's encounter with HRC in SF
" About last night! HRC was a real upper - Kathy and I navigated it perfectly. We met for dinner in the Food Emporium at City Center and had a great one on one girly chat (a rarity for us, so often our snatches of time get diffused) then walked up to the Orpheum by 8 or so, by which time the line to get in was a breeze, ignored instructions to climg up to the 3rd floor rafter seating and went straight to the orchestra where there were still great seats open, walked in to the rollicking music of the Glide Choir doing a great job of warming up the crowd. HRC, Gavin, ron Dellums, Vialarossa (sp? You know, the mayor of LA), the woman who co-founded the farm workers union with Caesar Chavez (name?), and Ted Danson and best of all Mary Steenburgen (sp?) All on stage. Mary's remakrks were fab and heart warmingly personal about her dear girlfriend of 27 years. Hillary's remarks were as always articulate and well thought out, delivered in a warm well-modulated tone, none of that strident voice she sometimes srikes that so often is all that the HRC haters in the media (Chris Matthews case in pt) manage to capture on the out of context soundbites. It was a totally satisfying, well organized love fest - wouldn't have missed this ment of history in the making for the world."

Denise Davidoff's comment on the blog
"I loved looking at your blog. It's beautiful and zippy and passionate. I am, however, voting for Obama in the Connecticut primary on Tuesday. I find his outlook inspiring and bracingly unformulaic. I am also suffering from severe Clinton fatigue. Having fought the feminist wars of the 60's, 70's and 80's, in the business world no less, I came out strong enough to know that I can choose which women I want as political leaders. If Hillary gets the nomination, I (we) will, of course, support the ticket. But I would much prefer to have Senator Obama at the top of it this time."

"The Double Bind" by Deborah Tannen

Random Comments for San Anselmo Book Club on Deborah Tannen’s
The Double Bind
What follows amounts to an unpaid political announcement, so please read no further if you are at the saturation point on such matters. That being said, I encourage women of all generations and the men who have an interest in expanding their understanding of the role of women in our society (whether out of love of their mothers, sisters, spouses, daughters) read the attached article.
*Speaking of Election Day: irrespective of where you stand on the choice we have come Tuesday’s Primary in which California matters for the first time in my memory, I attach and encourage you to read an article that resonated with me on so many levels. It describes the pitfalls and triumphs of the options open / closed to woman who, like me, came of age in the late ‘60’s / early 70’s. This is a chapter from Thirty Ways of Looking at Hillary. Reflections by Women Writers. Edited by Susan Morrison. While the focus of the article is on Hillary Rodham Clinton, the issues addressed are similar to ones I am not alone in having had to grapple my entire life. I think these few pages should be required reading for women of all generations as well as for those men who are inclined to deepen their understanding of what it means to be a woman in our society.
I face glass ceiling issues big and small on a daily basis that I believe a male with my career trajectory would never have had to address. While I’m a reasonably happy camper in my work these days, my horizons have been capped multiple times along the way for reasons that can only be attributed to my gender. Hillary has soared on her career path far beyond the wildest dreams most women ever dared to dream because she had the constitutional strength to swim against the tide at so many pivotal junctures along the way. Most of us, myself included, simply settled for less than our full potential because the walls were simply too taxing to scale on a daily basis if one also desired some semblance of a balanced life. I’m by no means suggesting men haven’t made similar compromises; however I do believe the starting point for males was routinely, presumptively and institutionally nearly always several strides ahead.
One of my dearest hopes is that my daughter and her generation will know no such caps on their horizons in large measure due to many of the barriers Hillary has blazed down. For those of you so inclined, let me know if you’d like me to say hello (from the rafters) to Hillary on your behalf at the Orpheum tonight J We are watching history in the making – I for one had not dreamed we would have had the embarrassment of such riches as a choice between an extremely competent white woman and an inspirational (if still somewhat green, in my view) African American man in our lifetimes? Yes, perhaps we have progressed since the ‘60’s and I for one am energized by the prospects ahead.

Hillary has more delegates, and a big lead in the California polls
On the news tonight, after all the endearing Obama hobnobbing with the Kennedys (for years I wanted Ted Kennedy for president), I learned that when the super delegates are included, Hillary has a small lead in the delegate count. Interesting and confusing. But then again, the super delegates can change their minds and will test which way the wind blows.
Those of you who check in on this blog, be sure to look at the older posts and the number of hits on the map at the bottom of each page. (I like how the red dots are spreading like sold paintings at an exhibition),and most importantly, send it to your friends all over the world, both artists who might want to join the group, and others who might want to support Hillary.
How does an artist join? By sending me an email with a 72-300 dpi jpeg image. Subject line should say: artists for Hillary

HILLARY'S TEARS Claire Iris Schencke
I'd like the president of the US to be strong, tough, clear, pragmatic, experienced, weathered, clever, intelligent and educated.
The NY Times just endorsed Clinton as the democratic candidate, and McClain for the reps. No wimp can go up against McCain!
Bill Clinton comes to Humboldt County
Bill actually came here! Marie , AFH member and contributor, got in line early, the Journal photographed her and wrote "Up in the line a bit, sparky blue-eyed Marie Kelleher-Roy of Trinidad was huddled in her thick blue coat, a bright pink scarf tied snug around her head and chin. She'd arrived at 4 p.m.- and she was resigned to remaining stuck in that line. 'I wanted to see him' she said. 'But now it's become an event outside. 'm just here for the fun now. I like seeing all the people'. Kelleher-Roy said the person she'd really like to see is Hillary herself. And of course she's voting for her. 'I'd like to see a woman president in my lifetime' she said. 'I'm 77 and I think we've waited a long time'. Marie added to the blogger later that she had also said "because she (Hillary) is capable and competent."
