New Pennsylvania Poll

American Research Group, Inc.: A new poll has the Democratic Race even. It should be recalled that Obama is spending a lot of money in the state, he raised forty million, Clinton half that amount. If Obama can win its over, still think Clinton has a chance in the state. The result of the poll is as follows, the poll was taken between the 5/6 April.


Clinton 45 %


Obama 45 %

If was a Republican would vote for Clinton, this will keep her in the race, in fact would get all my Republicans friends to vote for her, give her a big lead over Obama. If was being cynical, if Clinton can win big in the state this will keep her in the race and keep the Democratic Race going to the convention, of course if I was a cynic.

The Final Judge ?

Newsweek: Interesting article that looks at a way to get Hillary Clinton out of the race if she does not do well in the up and coming votes. Rather good idea get an old Clinton hand to deliver the black spot, have my doubts, looked what the Clintons did to Governor Richardson.

Penn OUT

Time: Looks at the background of the departure of Mark Penn. It can be argued that Penn is the reason Hillary Clinton will lose the Democratic Nomination. The Clintons need for total loyalty had reached Richard Nixon levels, even when others shouted for change in planning the Clintons did not listen, loyalty becomes before a fall.

RCP Delegate Count

RCP: By the count of this respected political site, Obama is one hundred and thirty five delegates ahead of Hillary Clinton. Clinton needs to win big in the up and coming votes, she needs to win the popular vote, if no popular vote lead its over for Hillary Clinton.

The Sinking of the Clinton Ship


New York Times: Its interesting that the departure of Mark Penn, Clinton's Chief Political Strategist, made the news over the water, at the same time it was out in the USA. The actual incidents shows I think that the experts know its over for Clinton, Penn would not relinquish his business and in fact conducting a policy for his company that was opposed by Hillary Clinton. If Clinton had a real chance of winning would Penn have allowed this problem to develop, your not going lose money if you think the campaign is not going to work. There is loyalty but there is loyalty to one self at the end of the day.
