Clinton VP ?
CNN: Reports that a majority of Democrats, and a majority of Hillary Clinton supporters want her to be the VP to Obama. Obama would have to be nuts to go along, how can be the change merchant if he has a Clinton on board, since 1980 we have had either a Clinton or a Bush on a national ticket. The USA is not a Monarchy!!
Carl Bernstein on Clinton and the Exit ?
CNN: Carl Bernstein of Watergate fame writes on the possible exit routes for Hillary Clinton. Read of the Day.
Hillary Clinton Redux - Exit ?
Telegraph: Reports on statements by Clinton that seem to accept that Obama will be the next nominee. It would be a class exit to leave the race after the result in West Virginia, she is going to win big, and it would be a surprise, all the pundits even this one thinks she will wait till June 3rd. In politics you don't normally decided your fate, Hillary Clinton should think about getting out of the race tonight, morning UK time. The Democrats would be happy to get going with the general election, the press would have some breaking news, Hillary Clinton would own the news cycle. I have my doubts, they might still be in the bunker!!
Hillary Clinton
The Times: Looks at how the reality that Obama will be the nominee is effecting Hillary Clinton. Looks at why she is still in the race, and when she will get out. The Elite Media are bored they want to move on to the general election, it is easy to understand why, a great political fight between Obama and McCain. This political fight will be like the last season of the West Wing.
Back Door Way Out!
New York Times: Interesting article by George McGovern in the Times. A suggestion after West Virgina that the candidates call the dogs off and visit the up coming states and amount an attack on McCain. Is this a open back door idea from Obama for Clinton to get out of the race with grace, not a bad idea.
What went wrong for Hillary ?
Washington Post: Interesting article in the WP that looks at the positive aspects of the Clinton Campaign, she has her own base within the Party as compared to her husband ( lets just say Bill Clinton does not have the African - American base any more ) also she has gotten Obama to became a real candidate. This sounds like an article that would come from the Liberal New York Times. Lets get real but sorry, she has blown it big time, only the Times and the Post could see her Campaign as positive, she and her husband and have used the race card, lets recall her remark about hard working white voters, as if blacks don't work. Politics is brutal, she thought she had the right to the throne, the nomination, her first mistake was not to jump Iowa, she should gone directly to New Hampshire. The Campaign of her husband in South Carolina was a disgrace. The first " black " President use race to help his wife and it was a disaster. Also she did not fight the Caucus's states as she should, she did not run a good campaign. This argument that she has a future within the Democratic Party if Obama wins, is rubbish, Mr Novak has reported that Mrs Obama has put a veto on her becoming Vice - President. If your a President Obama do you want Bill or Hillary Clinton any where near you, not if you have a brain cell.
Lets look at the possibility that Obama wins the nomination and but losses the general election, Clinton is no Reagan or Thatcher, her weak interview on Fox confirmed my view that see is seen as Liberal. Also lets be honest she will be four years older, there is glass ceiling for older women, harsh but true, in four years time you will have younger politicians coming up, they will want to run. This was the Clinton chance and she blew it big time, its over, the sad part seems is that the Clinton Campaign and the Elite Media can not see that the Clinton Era is over for the Democrats.
Stone on Bush 43
New York Post: Reports on Oliver Stone's new movie on Bush 43. As I liked JFK and Nixon, will wait to see the movie before doing a post, that is fair and balanced.
