O Money O Money !!

New York Times: Reports on the Money trail of both the Republicans and Democrats. The use of selected political commercials that feeds in to the views of the voters in different parts of the country. The article states the following on the Democratic Race for President, “ (Obama and Clinton ) have unleashed advertisements in nearly all the 22 states that have Democratic presidential nominating contests on Tuesday, a combined $19 million expenditure that is the most ambitious and geographically expansive television effort in a presidential primary. ” Of late Obama has raised over thirty million this will help him with the TV add buys. Clinton has bought an hour on the Hallmark channel, that is an expensive buy. This does recall Nixon adds of 1968, in 1968 Nixon did not debate, he recalled 1960, why take the chance! He had his Man in the arena; he took questions from voters while standing in an arena. Have my doubts that Senator Hillary Clinton will get any hard questions, soft questions like the one that made her cry in New Hampshire. That might be the point; Hallmark has a certain demographic, women voters thus the backbone for the Clinton Machine. Must Read of the Day.

No Winner ?

Fox News: Looks at the prospect that neither Republican or Democratic contests will have a clear winner, the Republican race looks more likely to have a winner due to the structure of some states, winner takes all the delegates. Super Tuesday should be a long night for bloggers and political geeks.

Washington Post Poll

Washington Post: A new National Poll from the Post, Clinton and McCain lead their respected races, the Democratic race is a lot closer, Clinton 47 %, Obama 43 %, on the Republican side the margin is more, McCain 48%, Romney 24 %. If this result follows through on Tuesday, McCain should have an easy win, while on the Democratic side the race will go on to other primary and caucus states.

Romney v Huckabee

Fox News: Reports on the fight between Romney and Huckabee, the Romney camp is worried that Huckabee is taking Conservative votes from Romney and thus will allow McCain to win the nomination. Huckabee has the right to stay in and he should fight in the South, Huckabee is the real deal compared to the phoney that is Mitt Romney.

Washington Post v Bill Clinton

Washington Post: As we come close to Super Tuesday, and should Hillary Clinton win, then the record of the 42nd President will be looked at by the Republicans, the Post states the following on the Clinton record, “ the scandals and partisan battles that consumed so much of the 1990s. ” will come under even more scrutiny that the Democratic voters have given the Clintons. If it is Hillary Clinton expect every scandal or statement under oath to be raked all over again, Liberals will not be able to hide, do they want to have to defend Bill Clinton again and the stained dress. Thus is the time for change and for Obama.

Calfornia Polls - Democrats

Romney VP ?

The Politico: Looks at the internal problems within the Romney Campaign after Florida, how McCain is looking like the winner, how the powerful Conservatives in the Media, are worried that if McCain wins they will lose their influence. I think if McCain wins big on Tuesday, and is close to the nomination that Romney will pull out, would McCain make him the VP and thus make conservatives happy for November.

Romney and the 08 Race

New York Times: Reports on the Romney Campaign, can they go beyond Super Tuesday, they have the money and are planning for the long haul. NYT wants Romney as the Republican candidate as the Liberal NYT sees him as more easy to beat. John McCain would be a lot harder for Clinton or Obama to win against in November.

Gore Support ?

The Atlantic: Interesting article that looks at the prospects of a Gore endorsement of Obama. Gore cant stand the Clintons. He thinks he lost in 2000 because of the Impeachment of Bill Clinton. It would be a way to really get back at the Clintons if he was to endorse Obama.
