Florida Re - Vote

Fox News: Reports on a old/new idea, the US Senator Bill Nelson wants to follow the Republican example, Florida would lose half its delegates, this would still benefit Clinton but not as much as before, if Obama would let this idea die its death. The point from the Obama view is that Obama did not campaign in Florida, he has the right to campaign in Florida. Advice to Obama Camp, just fight it out at the Convention. All these new or old ideas are bad and unfair to the Obama Camp.

Racial Comments ?

ABC News: Geraldine Ferarro has resigned from the Clinton Campaign for making racial insensitive comments. It must be stress there is a difference between making an comment that is insensitive and being a racist. Ferarro the 1984 Vice - Presidential nominee for the Democrats stated that Obama was leading the race because he was black, aka Bill Clinton comment that Jesse Jackson had won some primaries before Obama. Ferarro is a liberal, the Mondale - Ferarro ticket lost by 49 states to one. If she was a Republican and had made that comment she would have to move country. The point being that she allowed her support of Senator Clinton and the chance of the First Woman President to colour her comments. She has resigned, time to move on to the issues facing the USA.

Florida Redux!!

Tampa Tribune: Looks at the background for the re - vote. Heard on the Networks that there is a clause that allows for a thirty day cooling off period before any plan is accepted. If true Obama can play this out and run out the clock.

RCP - Delegate Count - Dems

RCP: Reports that Obama has a lead of one hundred and twenty seven delegates over Clinton. This includes Super Delegates. The tally stands at the following, 1614 for Obama, 1487 for Clinton. Obama has to keep the Delegate count higher that Clinton but also the popular vote. At the end of the day, it all about the Super Delegates.

McCain + Reagan = Reagan Democrats

LA Times: Looks at the prospects for Senator John McCain to gain support from Reagan Democrats. Although the Democrats have Obama and Clinton, they bring in new voters, they also have the reverse effect of not having the message to connect with older established Democrats. These voters from a Union background are attracted by the War Record of John McCain and his moderation. Must Read of the Day.

Florida Again!!

The Politico: Reports that the Florida re - vote is heading in to problems, Obama and the Democrats from Florida in the House of Representatives have a problem with the process. Advice to Obama, just play out the game, don't give an inch, if it has to be a 48 state National Convention so let it be, note to Obama, its winning that counts, play nice with Florida and Michigan after winning.

Texas Two Step Part Two

CNN News: After the Primary and Caucus held in Texas and the millions spent, we have a draw in Texas. CNN reports that Obama at the end of the day will get more delegates out of the race but not much if you factor in Super Delegates. Get this the fiasco that was the Texas two step has left a 3 delegate margin difference between Obama and Clinton. Obama on 109 and Clinton on 106. Texas should stick to Oil, JR Ewing would not be amused, Cliff Barnes would have run the operation better, even JR would agree with that argument.!!
