Clinton Mean Machine Redux

The Times: Reports that the Clinton Mean Machine is telling the Super Delegates that Obama cant win the General. Hillary Clinton is doing the work of the Republicans. The Clinton Machine has bought Obama down to earth, he just another politician on the make, while McCain is a American Hero.

1976 and 2008

While reading Reagan's Revolution, The Untold Story of the Campaign that started it all, by Craig Shirley, I noticed a similarity between 1976 and 2008, a State that Reagan was expected to win and delegates that had the option to jump ship as in uncommitted or Super Delegates in 2008. In 1976 Reagan was expected to win Tennessee but lost to President Ford, could Obama win Pennsylvania, or come close to Clinton, if he manages that he has won the nomination. The difference between uncommitted and super delegates is that the super delegates tend to be office holders, they need the African - American vote in the urban cities, they will support Obama. Also as Shirley points out the numbers are different, under two hundred in 1976, eight hundred in 2008. If you want to understand 2008 go and buy and read Reagan's Revolution, lot more informative and fun than the present mess in the Democratic Party.

Battlestar Galactica New Season

New York Times: Don't agree with the Liberal New York Times most of the time, but they are one hundred percent right, Battlestar Galactica is one of the best dramas on TV. Your lucky USA to get to see the series early, GREEN WITH ENVY OVER THE WATER!!

Clinton Legacy and the Presidency

FT: A great article explains why Hillary Clinton is still in the race for President. Must Read of the Day.

Pennsylvania Poll

Inside Advantage: Reports a new poll from Pennsylvania, another poll to show to show that the Clinton lead is in the single digits. Inside Advantage Poll has the following results for the 08 Race.

Clinton 45 %

Obama 42 %

If Clinton does not win big in Pennsylvania or if Obama can win its over for Hillary Clinton. As Obama has stated this movie was fun but its going on to long, lets hope the great state of Pennsylvania ends this once great show, we have a general election to get started and time is running out for the Democrats.

President Carter

New York Times: President Jimmy Carter is supporting Obama, although as the NYT states he did not come full out to support Obama he made it clear who is family and state are supporting. Add that Super Delegate to the Obama Camp. It should be noted that the Clintons never had much time for President Carter, in fact he was a real pain in many respects, no change in some respects.

Stealing Delegates

RCP: Hillary Clinton has confirmed a rumour that has being doing the rounds; the Clinton Machine sees the pledge delegates of Obama as fair game, they want to convert them to the Clinton cours. The Clinton Mean Machine is going to try and steal the Obama Delegates, not the super delegates but the delegates he has won fair and square. This is without out doubt gutter politics at its worst. Does the Clinton ego want to destroy the Democratic Party.
