The Democratic Convention

New York Times: Reports on the role of Party Elders at the Democratic Convention and the role of Al Gore. What if neither candidate got a majority and Obama turned his delegates over to Gore. Gore – Obama ticket sounds good to Views, it would drive the Clintons up the wall.

MSNBC Delegate Count, Dems

MSNBC: Looks at the Pledge Delegates. Obama leads by one hundred and thirty one delegates over Clinton. NBC has the following tally:

Obama 1116

Clinton 985



If one takes away Super Delegates it’s a tough job for Hillary Clinton to catch up with Obama. Even with Super Delegates she is behind in some delegate counts. Hillary Clinton needs to win big in Ohio and Texas. Wisconsin and Hawaii are up on Tuesday, Wisconsin is closer in polls but as Hawaii is a home state for Obama he should win the state. It’s all down to March the 4th for Clinton.

The Truth about Hillary and O8

Orlando Sentinel: James Carville of 1992 Election fame has stated the truth, if the Clinton Machine was to lose Texas or Ohio then it would be over for Hillary Clinton.

A Slur on the Fox Network

New York Times: Views is a great Fox News watcher, Fair and Balanced with its news channel. The New York Times, has a different opinion, here is its latest attack on Fox. Today the paper states the following when comparing Fox to MSNBC, the NYT states the following, “ Even Fox News has many more female anchors, though so many are cookie-cutter blondes that viewers cannot be blamed for thinking it’s one anchor working multiple shifts. “ I have found the female anchors on Fox, intelligent and fun, and dam better looking than Mr O of the No Spin Zone. Go Fox.

Clinton Out ?

The Hill: Dick Morris looks at why in his view the Clinton Machine has lost the plot. Hillary Clinton is less of a favourite than Bill Clinton and Bill Clinton is not on the Xmas Card list for Mr Morris. Nothing like a political advisor scorned.

RCP Delegate Count

I tend to trust the RealClearPolitics site for the Democratic Delegate count; on the whole the numbers are all over the place on different sources. The RCP has Obama ahead but less so than the CBS count, RCP has Obama 1270, Clinton 1231, this makes an Obama delegate count of 39 ahead of Clinton. The elections of March 4th are very important for Clinton she has to not just to win, she has to win big, and a close election will not help, its all PR for the Democrats. Can Obama be stopped that is the question for the Clinton Machine.

No Class !

CNN: It takes a certain kind of class to admit when you have been defeated. CNN reports that the Clinton Campaign did not congratulate Obama on his Tuesday wins, no class tells!!
