Bill Clinton

Vanity Fair: Must read article on Slick Willy. Warning: Strong Language.

Silence in the Library - Dr Who Review

The Doctor Who News Page: Great show but the ratings was hit by the two talent shows, one on BBC 1 and ITV. Why people like talent shows is beyond me!! Good Acting, Dramatic, Scary, Intelligent Drama is what TV is for, what more do people want from the goggle box!! Football next week, I need a cup of tea!!

Rasmussen Tracking Poll - McCain v Obama

As the general election starts on Tuesday, I will be looking more at the tracking polls, its early and things can change in a second. The respected pollster Rasmussen has the following Tracking Poll Results:

McCain 46%

Obama 43%

The most important polls will come after the Party Conventions and the choice of the VP. But Obama has a lot of work to do with Reagan Democrats. He needs a VP that appeals to them and not Hillary Clinton. The VP choice this time around could be very important, but in the end its the head of the ticket that decides if you win or lose.

Health Secretary Clinton ?

Telegraph: Reports that Obama will offer Hillary Clinton to be his Health Secretary. This is Obama spin, can any one name a USA Health Secretary, at least in the Senate you have your own power base. I think Mr Obama your looking for a cheap deal from the Clintons not going to happen, lets see what she might want, VP, pay her campaign debts and a job for Bill Clinton and that's on the average deal.

The 08 Race and the End ?

New York Times: Looks at how the 08 Democratic Race will end and how Clinton will end her historic race for the White House. The one question no one has an answer to is does Hillary Clinton want to be VP, will Obama allow her, does the Obama view define how Clinton will end the Campaign. So many questions, not a lot of answers till next week.

Obama and His Church

I saw the Obama press conference last night when he announced his resignation from his Church, the problem is he didn't denounce the church and made it sound like he was doing the Church a favour, no press on their door, that is a favour!!. I think Obama is missing the point here, on two levels, he was their for twenty years, so how much of Reverend Wright sermons did he take in, his speech at at College Graduation about not going after wealth sounded like a Wright view, also it can be asked will the African - American community feel that he dropping their Church because it has become a hot subject for him. Obama and his Church as a subject is not over yet, have a feeling more stories are going to come out from the Windy City.

Florida and Michigan Result

BBC News: Reports that Florida and Michigan have been allowed back in to the Convention, this does help Hillary Clinton but the way it was done makes sure its a hollow victory, think Barry Goldwater after the 1964 Convention. Both States, are back, but they each delegate gets half a vote and in the case of Michigan the results are revoked and both candidates get about half, Clinton get an extra ten delegates. This is the cut off point for Hillary Clinton if she wants the VP spot with Obama she can not argue this all the way to convention, on the other hand if she does argue it, no VP spot.
