What a Mess!!

Chicago Sun-Times: Robert Novak reports on the Democratic mess, from the come back of Hillary Clinton in Texas and Ohio and the long road to the Convention. From a Political geek view, a real political convention would be great, just like the West Wing season six.

Florida

The Hill: Reports that Senator Bill Nelson of Florida has sent a letter to the DNC to ask them to get off the dime, either accept the vote in Florida or pay for a new vote. This could the card that gives the Presidential Race to the Republicans.

Ken Starr

The Politico: Its getting tough on the Campaign trail, the more negative campaign of Obama has hit home, when the Clintons are in trouble they play the Republican Card, but this time its against a Democrat. The Politico reports that the Clinton Campaign is using the ghost of Ken Starr but this time Starr is a African - American and his name his Obama. Expect tench ware fare people. This is why politics is fun!!

The Democratic Race Past Tuesday

WSJ: Reports on the tougher race that is develping in the Democratic Race, the 3am call ad has had its effect, Obama Camp is getting its act together to go after the weak points in the Clinton record. It notes a fundamental point from the elections on Tuesday, " The fact that Tuesday's four-state, 370-delegate sweepstakes effectively yielded a draw underscored how difficult it will be for Sen. Clinton to catch Sen. Obama with just over 600 more pledged delegates to be won. " Texas is more complicated than first look, although Clinton won the popular vote, Obama with forty percent of the caucuses reporting is ahead by 56% to 44%. At the end of the day, Obama will come out with more delegates than Clinton. It could come down to Florida or Michigan if they have a re - vote. If no new vote then the Super Delegates and the back room deals. If the Clintons steal the election the 1968 Convention will look like happy hour.
