The Future of the 08 Race and the Media



Lets see what the Media thinks of last night's result:

New York Times: Reports that Obama is going to be the nominee and that " His supporters look more and more like the McGovern-Dukakis constituency, and the walls between that constituency and the rest of the country are higher than they were weeks ago. " The article points out that both Obama and McCain have to get voters that have not made their minds up. But as the past has found, it is a lot more easier to move from the right to the centre that it is to move from the liberal left, just ask Presidents, Mondale, Gore, Kerry!! McCain has a great advantage over Obama, it has to be noted that a minority of white working class voters will not vote for a black candidate, sad but its the truth. Thus Obama has to get more of these Independent voters than McCain.
Reports that Camp Clinton wont give up, next phase change the rules so Clinton can get Florida and Michigan in, that will be tough to get through, Obama will fight tooth and nail. On the whole does not look good for Clinton.
