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.

What went Wrong with Hillary ?

New York Times: Has a forensic look at why Hillary Clinton lost, expect a lot of these articles from now till Hillary throws in the towel.

Senator Edward Kennedy

BBC News: Reports on the illness of Senator Kennedy. Surprising it does mention Chappaquiddick, fair and balanced. Read of the Day.

Obama - Clinton Ticket ?

The Hill: Looks at how Obama supporters do not want Clinton as VP. The Campaign has hurt her with the African - American voters, also her Foreign Policy experience is not that great, thus older running mates with Foreign Policy experienced are being looked at at the present. A dream candidate would be older, tough as old boots, to the right of the Democratic Party, and wants to bomb Iran, not easy find in the modern Democratic Party.

Iran Attack ?

The Jerusalem Post: Reports that Bush Administration is planning to attack Iran before it leaves office in 2009. The White House has denied the plan, they would either way.

Iran Stratagem

The Obama Campaign has to find a way to walk him back from his comments that he will have direct talk with Iran without preconditions. He goes on about Kennedy and Reagan talking to the leaders of the USSR, but Kennedy and Reagan did not have the impression of peace nicks before their election, 1960 Kennedy attacked the Eisenhower/ Nixon Administration for the Missile Gap and Reagan attacked Carter for his failed policy with USSR after they invaded Afghanistan. If Obama is to be another Kennedy or Reagan, he will have to be practical, change policy or lose the election.
