Bush 41 THE MOVIE

ABC NEWS: Reports on the new movie by Oliver Stone, its about George W. Bush. His Nixon was not bad, in fact quite sympathetic to Nixon, have my doubts about a similar movie on Bush 41. Who is going to play Ronald Reagan?.

1976 = 2008 ?

New York Times: Interesting article on how a tough Nomination fight can have a negative effect on the General Election. Are the Democrats repeating 1976. Recall Carter on the whole easy fight in 1976, Ford had a tough fight and lost in November. McCain on the whole early win while the Democrats could go on till August.

Clintons NOT Cool Anymore!!

Washington Post: Dionne on how the Clintons have lost their magic. Worth a Read Today.

Clinton and the National Convention

The Politico: Has a very interesting article on how problematic it would be for Hillary Clinton to get Florida and Michigan seated at the National Convention. Must Read of the Day.

Pennsylvania Poll

Rasmussen: A new poll in Pennsylvania shows the Obama effect, Clinton is leading by just five percent. If Obama could win a big state like Pennsylvania, the race would be over for Clinton. Time for Republicans to vote in the Democratic Primary for Obama. Here are the poll findings:


Clinton 47 %


Obama 42 %

If Obama wins the Democratic Nomination he could be the modern President Ford. He wins the nomination but the damage done to him over the Primaries and Caucus's fight could hand the White House over to McCain.

UK Troops Stay in Iraq

BBC News: Reports that the planned Troop reduction from Iraq has been halted. The problems in Basra has shown how fragile a peace there is in the South. The Government should consider an increase in troops as to send a message that the UK will not be pushed out of Iraq.

Texas Win for Obama

Fox News: Reports that Senator Obama overall, that includes the Primary and Caucus has won Texas, at the end of a very long day ( a day not being 24 hours in Texas ) Obama has 99 delegates and Clinton 94. At end of the day a 5 delegate margin. Please no more results from Texas, the vote has been a national disgrace, makes the polls in New Hampshire look good, Texas hold your head in shame.
