Up until the final days before this week’s convention, Crutchfield said she would still get an occasional letter or call from an unhappy party loyalist asking her to change her vote to Sen. Clinton.
“One lady called and said “I won’t vote for him (Obama), nobody in my family will vote for him, no one in my neighborhood will vote for him and no one in my church will vote for him,’” Crutchfield said. Her response, in her signature decisive-but-polite tone of voice: “I will vote for him, everyone in my family will vote for him, people in my neighborhood will vote for him and people in my church will vote for him.”
Crutchfield said she plans to stand in her delegate seat and cheer again when the Obama nomination is voted upon Thursday night. “This is special,” she said. “It’s a history-making convention. I’m hoping he will be the nominee. There will be some really angry people in this country, if he is not.”
