Holding an iced Starbucks drink, former First Daughter Chelsea Clinton chatted and posed for photographs with students at an informal campaign stop on behalf of her mother Thursday afternoon at UNLV.
Her entourage included actresses America Ferrera from the TV series “Ugly Betty” and Amber Tamblyn, who starred in the TV series “Joan of Arcadia.”
The starlets, like Clinton, talked to young people about issues from education to health care to energy. Clinton made rounds by the Student Union Jamba Juice, sitting with groups of young people for 10 minutes at a time. She connected with them in ways her mom and dad couldn’t, referring to young voters as “us.”
AnnaLisa Valdespino, 22 and a UNLV student, said she thought trotting out Chelsea might have been the Clinton campaign’s way of combating the perception that Barack Obama cared more for young voters than did Hillary Clinton. “It might be to sort of make up for the rumors,” AnnaLisa said.
Students said Chelsea, who perched on table tops when no seats were available, was down to earth.
If you truly support Obama, then spread this article to everyone on your email list. Let his record and his years of selfeless service to the American dream speak for itself. Remember, we are only seperated from every other person in the world by 6 people. Send it to every American you know. Truth will always trump lies, so don't be afraid. Stand for truth in these dark times and let's take our country back from the elites.

Obama's Varied Record
By AP/CHRISTOPHER WILLS
http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/......
A simple fact is, Obama is the boss you'd rather work for because you respect him, he respects you, but he does expect top quality results. He seems to be a team oriented guy.
Hillary? Her team mucked her in a racism/sexism mess which reeks of desperation. Then, they tried derailing an agreed voting plan in Nevada - that she went along with creating, FYI - because she wasn't gonna be voted 'Miss Popularity.' If the people she surrounds herself with create such embarrasing fiascos like this, loud, obnoxious, and very low...imagine how much worse a white house she'll have.
I hope you saw today's The New York Times.

"After watching the subject of race intrude on the primaries last week, and become even more prominent this week, we were relieved that Senators Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama called a truce Tuesday night.
It was clearly her side that first stoked the race and gender issue."
And the Santa Barbara Independent....

What impresses us most about Obama is his ability to inspire hope in those who’ve learned to dismiss the political process as a cynical joke. And his gift goes beyond speechifying, which he does with uncommon grace. Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton has charged that he is short on experience. We disagree. He has had more years of legislative experience than Clinton, with three years in the U.S. Senate and eight years in that rough-and-tumble body known as the Illinois Legislature. During those 11 years, he successfully brought together Democrats and Republicans to pass legislation benefitting ordinary people — from tax credits for children to ethics reform in Congress.
Hillary is betting on the fact that white women can be made to fear black men in softer tones than yelling for help from the sisterhood. And Hillary is also praying Latino voters won't understand what her campaign was trying to pull in Nevada this week.
A favorite quote of this morning so far...
"You know, if someone was married to a surgeon for years, would you consider them qualified to cut you open? Then why does she think being married to a president makes her presidential material?"
oh no...Hillary's poll numbers are sinking! she's diverted the plane from Nevada!!!!
“It might be to sort of make up for the rumors,”
I think we all know THAT rumor.
Vote your heart.
Vote your conscience.
Think about what we've been dealing with for the last seven years, and the lies and corruption of the Clintons.
Nevada, the rest of America is begging you...
Caucus for Senator Barack Obama.
Let everyone know that honesty and inegrity, intelligence and hard work is what makes a president - not lobbyists and corporations.
Please.
Barack Obama for President of the UNITED States of America.
Please go caucus for Obama and tell everyone about Clintons and their record.
Anyone who wants to see the true Hillary, ask her or her supporters why she waffled after initially supporting NY GOV. Spitzer's plan to grant Drivers Licenses to illegal aliens in NY State; remember that terrible debate answer and then the aftermath in which she received a lot of negative airplay. The former President Bill Clinton asked the Governor to pull his plan so Hillary would not have to answer any more questions about it to get her off the hook. Look it up. That is the big supporter of Latinos.
Please call out Obama on his comments in the debate and check with any relatives or anyone else you know in Chicago to see if he has that kind of record there of saying anything to win the moment and move on with your vote to the next audience.
The Clintons record in the White House is they never stayed around to fight for us. They caved in on Affirmative Action and Welfare Reform, and most importantly, their Crime Bill that they brag put so many more officers on the street is also singularly responsible for a generation of historically high incarceration rates for black and brown people in this country. We also have the Clinton years to thank for the mandatory sentencing guidelines, eliminating the discretion of judges, and the disparity in sentencing between crack/cocaine sentences.
We Democrats mobilized to rally around them in 1998 and defend them from attacks, and that was entirely appropriate then. But they are the attackers now, attacking our Union and Obama just to make some kind of triumphant return to the White House; and we have to let them know that we love them but we need bolder, bigger cajones this time around. We need a homerun to sweep in majorities in both Houses of Congress with a message of hope and unity; and then we can claim a mandate to enact sweeping changes in legislation.
The truth that everyone reading this knows in his/her heart is that:
1. Any of our three Democratic candidates CAN win in November.
2. Only one could just as easily lose. (HRC is the only candidate with higher negative ratings than favorable one among all DEM and REP candidates)
3. And only one could win HUGE. (Obama has the biggest margin between favorable and negative ratings among all DEM and REP candidates)
We gotta go for it! This is why the female Senator McCaskill from MO and Gov. Napolitano from AZ along with Native American Sen. Nelson of Nebraska all endorsed Obama last week. No one wants the name Clinton on top of the ballot in their state, except the Republicans.
So please don't stay home. Everyone must go out Saturday and share your views with your neighbors. Go For It. And Ba-Rock the Vote!!!
FJR,
It is funny you are telling people to go tell everyone about the Clintons' record. They have a great and effective record. What can you show for Obama's record? A slate full of "Present" votes where he took the easy way out in the Senate! His record is small and he is inexperienced! I can't wait to join my family and go caucus for Hillary on Saturday! She is most experienced and ready for day one! Vote or Caucus Hillary for President!!!!
