Clinton VP powergrab overshadows Obama’s victory night
Apr/105
Congrats to Barack Obama. Even if we’re going to hear it over and over, it’s true—this is a historic moment. That an African-American has a better than even chance to be the next president of the United States is an amazing thing—and heartening about this country’s capacity for progress. Also, on a more mundane level, Obama out-campaigned, out-fundraised, out-strategized, out-classed, and—yes—out-spun the Clintons. What a campaign. He and his team should be very proud. I doubted he could pull it off. But two prescient pieces of punditry stuck with me throughout this process, both on Meet the Press. Mike Murphy said long ago that if Hillary lost, it would be because she ran up against a guy with exactly the right message for this particular moment in time, and there’d be nothing she could do about it. The other was Tim Russert himself saying if Obama won Iowa, watch out, because he’s a thoroughbred and would be off to the races (as it turned out, he wasn’t really off to the races until February). Obama has been wheezing at the end here, but he’s going to get a high-octane infusion of glowing press coverage that will probably bump him up into a nice lead over McCain corner.nationalreview.com Presidential hopeful Barack Obama, who has made history by capturing the Democratic White House nomination as the first black candidate atop a major-party ticket, has paid tribute to rival Hillary Clinton.

Clinton supporter George Mcgovern says Hillary should quit
Apr/1025
Veteran Democratic Party figure George mcgovern dropped his support for Hillary Clinton on Wednesday and endorsed Barack Obama, saying the Illinois senator seemed certain to win the party’s nomination for the November presidential election. mcgovern, 85, said he told Clinton’s husband, former President Bill Clinton, of his surprise decision in a telephone call, and that Clinton made no attempt to change his mind. “He just wanted me to know that he thinks that Hillary has made a great race and it’s up to her to decide when she leaves. And I don’t argue with that,” mcgovern said. He was speaking a day after Obama appeared to edge nearer securing the party nomination in the protracted state-by-state contest when he easily defeated Clinton in North Carolina and only narrowly lost to her in Indiana on Tuesday. mcgovern, a former US senator from South Dakota who made a failed bid for the White House in 1972, told Reuters by telephone from his home in Mitchell, South Dakota: “It’s time for us to unite and get ready for the fall campaign.” With Obama within 200 delegates of wrapping up the nomination, said, “All the mathematics seem to be on his side.” “Barack Obama has waged a very effective campaign. He’s an unusually capable and talented man. I didn’t frankly know him when I endorsed Hillary last October,” he said. In endorsing Obama, mcgovern said, “I have been very impressed with him, and I’m sure she has been, too.” Full article: www.reuters.com

Hillary Clinton invokes 9/11 (September 11th) to smear Obama
Mar/1023
Hillary Clinton invokes the horrible tragedy of 9/11 (September 11th) to smear Barack Obama in the infamous ABC Pennsylvania debate. She claims that being a senator from New York gives her justification for her attacks. ——————————————– Until tonight’s debate, I didn’t really think Hillary Clinton would go so far as to attempt to sink the whole Democratic Party campaign in her struggle for power. But now it is clear that she has no limits. Barack Obama, attempting to take the high ground, gave her a pass on her despicable behavior. The fact that she would drag up this pathetic red herring about Obama’s alleged ties to so-called terrorist Bill Ayers (my brother!) brings her right down to the level of Fox News and the National Enquirer (which also suggested that Obama had murdered his gay lover). Obama needed to call this tactic for what it is: mccarthyism. This is the most base version of mccarthyism: Did you know this communist? When were you last with this communist? Did you denounce this communist? When did you stop beating your wife? This desperate strategy marks the kind of Republican tactics of the Clinton camp. We always knew Bill Clinton was the architect of the Democratic Party move into a Republican stance on policy. Now these so-called centrist Democrats are imitating the take-no-prisoners tactics of the Karl Roves of the far right. The swift-boating of Obama over his remarks on the “bitterness” of white workers is a perfect example …

Clinton Delegates
Mar/100
Much of the Democratic party is now finding out what all of the Republican party already knows. The Clinton’s are ruthless when it comes to winning. Get in their way and the IRS will come visit you (when Bubba was president). Attack Bill or Hill and a private detective will be employed to find out how much dirt that can find on you. But the latest delegate battle is a whole new thing indeed. All delegates are Clinton delegates or didn’t you know that?
Everyone is now getting acquainted with the super delegate fiasco of the Democratic party; however, the Clinton’s are taking even the pledged delegates to a new level (low).
Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign intends to go after PLEDGED delegates whom Barack Obama has already won in the caucuses and primaries if she needs them to win the nomination. This strategy was confirmed by a high-ranking Clinton official on Monday. We’re not talking about super delegates- the 800 hot dogs who are not pledged to anybody. We’re talking about getting pledged delegates to switch sides.
Is that fair, legal? Yep!
A pledged delegate is pledged to a particular candidate and cannot switch, right? Wrong!
Pledged delegates are not really pledged at all, not even on the first ballot. This has been an open secret in the party for years, but it has never really mattered because there has almost always been a clear victor by the time the convention convened. But not now that Hillary is behind. This time, one candidate may enter the convention leading by just a few pledged delegates, and those delegates may find themselves being promised the sun, moon and stars to switch sides. Would Hillary or Bubba do that?
Duh!
“I swear it is not happening now, but as we get closer to the convention, if it is a stalemate, everybody will be going after everybody’s delegates,” a senior Clinton official said Monday afternoon. “All the rules will be going out the window.” Rules of good behavior, maybe. But, in fact, the actual rules of the party allow for such switching. The notion that pledged delegates must vote for a certain candidate is, according to the Democratic National Committee, a “myth.”
Winning with superdelegates is potentially party-splitting because it could mean throwing out the choice of the elected delegates and substituting the choice of the super delegates. So, to give some semblence of fairness, go after the PLEDGED delegates and have them switch their votes..
Hey, the Obama tsunami must be stopped at any odds. If the Wisconsin primary doesn’t do it, if Texas or Ohio doesn’t do it, then Bubba will do it!
So why are we going through all this primary hullabaloo? We do it to provide some sort of integrity and legitmacy; however, in the event truth does not work out as the powers that be want, then we’ll do it the old-fashioned way. Can you say power-brokering fraud and intimidation? And then they’ll point fingers at people like Jason Rae and say it’s his fault. Blame shift seems to always work these days. 
I can’t wait to see how this all works out. Could it be that the history-breaking female and African-American dream candidates implode and shoot themselves in the foot and give us four more years of Bush-i-ness? God help us all!

Peggy Noonan slams Hillary Clinton for playing ‘Race Card’
Mar/1025
This is an amazing story. The Democratic Party has a winner. It has a nominee. You know this because he has the most votes and the most elected delegates, and there’s no way, mathematically, his opponent can get past him. Even after the worst two weeks of his campaign, he blew past her by 14 in North Carolina and came within two in Indiana…The Democratic Party can’t celebrate the triumph of Barack Obama because the Democratic Party is busy having a breakdown. You could call it a breakdown over the issues of race and gender, but its real source is simply Hillary Clinton. Whose entire campaign at this point is about exploiting race and gender. CNN Tuesday night..Paul Begala wore the smile of the 1990s, the one in which there is no connection between the shape of the mouth and what the mouth says…Mr. Begala more or less accused the Obama people of not caring about white voters: “[If] there’s a new Democratic Party that somehow doesn’t need or want white working-class people and Latinos, well, count me out.” And: “We cannot win with eggheads and African Americans.” That, he said, was the old, losing, Dukakis coalition…Mrs. Clinton spent this week making it clear. In a jaw-dropping interview in USA Today on Thursday, she said, “I have a much broader base to build a winning coalition on.” As evidence she cited an Associated Press report that, she said, “found how Sen. Obama’s support among working, hard-working Americans, white Americans, is weakening again, and how …
