Obama the next POTUS ?

Telegraph: The paper seems to have fallen for the Obama spin, yes he will be the Democratic Nominee, no this does not mean he will be the next President of the United States of America.

No Obama - Clinton Ticket

CNN: Reports that former President Jimmy Carter does not see Senator Obama asking Hillary Clinton to be his VP. This would be a wise move by Obama.

Advice to Senator John McCain

If your in a hole, you have two options, dig your self out or bury yourself. As we humans tend to fight for life when under threat, well politicians have to see their battleground and figure out how to win over their opponent. Thus if your Senator McCain, you have one problem and one advantage, that being President George W. Bush. On the negative side, he is not popular, if fact since records have started he has the highest Gallup disapproval of any President, even Nixon. On the other hand Bush is President of the United States of America. The Democratic Nominee for President, Senator Obama has walked in to a mine field when it comes to Iran. Obama has stated he would talk to the President of Iran without preconditions. As noted yesterday on this blog, there are reports out of Israel that the Bush Administration wants to bomb Iran before the Bush Administration leaves office in January of 2009. As you read this section, close your eyes and think, its a few days before the election in November, Bush it is announced will be making a speech from the Oval Office, a speech of National Security Importance. The rumours are around the Beltway that Bush is about to attack Iran or has attacked, Obama is out there stating his opposition. Then the President announces that Israel has attacked Iran with the support of the USA. Lets see McCain would support the move. Obama was be stuck, he could not attack Israel without losing the Jewish vote, but no reaction and the Liberals in the Democratic Party will go wild. Thus advice to McCain, keep close to Bush.

Clinton Campaign End ?

The New Republic: Article that looks at the Clinton mistakes. One major mistake that hits you between the eyes is that Hillary Clinton was fighting the General Election fight in Democratic Primaries, the main issue being Iraq. It can be argued that Hillary Clinton thinks that if she was to say sorry for her Iraq vote she would lose the general, weak women don't get elected, this is true, but if you don't get the nomination you cant fight in the general. I recall Bill Clinton always saying, you have to fight the election your in, it seems Hillary did not listen to the master politician.

Obama, Clinton and the 08 Race

Slate: Another article that looks at why Clinton is still in the race and how she will exit. The Elite Media really want Clinton out, the Clinton Campaign is getting on their nerves. They want to support Obama but they still have to deal with Hillary Clinton.

Obama and Pledge Delegates

Fox News: Reports that Obama has claimed the majority of the pledge delegates in the Democratic Race. The speech was not his best, he still speaking to the Liberal voters within the Democratic Party. The following impressions have to be avoided, that he will raise taxes, aka Walter Mondale in 1984, and that he is weak in Foreign Policy, he needs to walk back from the impression that he will talk to Iran and Cuba without preconditions. Those Democratic Surrogates for Obama are using the same line, younger people in Iran want a closer relationship with the USA, thus we should talk, younger people in Florida might not have the same ideas as those from a older generation. This is a typical problem for Liberals, in Iran, yes a majority of the population was born after the Revolution of 1979, but here is the fact, they are not in power, and never will be with the regime that controls in Iran at the moment. As for Cuba, the Democrats are missing the point, the new regime in Cuba knows that their suppression wont last, thus the move to allow for more freedom, and what does Obama want to do, give the regime oxygen. Both Kennedy and Reagan looked at the option of getting better relationship with Cuba, it did not happen, the regime in Cuba must be destroyed from without. Also Obama has won Oregon State as expected by the pundits.

Clinton for VP

The answer is in, Hillary Clinton wants to be Vice - President, her Campaign Team came close to stating that was the aim on Fox News. The win in Kentucky by Clinton over Obama by 65% to 3o% shows that she is still in the race. Obama can not afford to have Clinton on the ticket, you cant be the change candidate if you you have Hillary and Bill Clinton breathing down your neck. Forget the next few contests this is about the Clinton plan to get the VP spot for Hillary. Does the Obama camp have have the back bone to say no to the Hillary Clinton.
