Obama - Edwards o8 ?

I was thinking what about a Obama - Edwards ticked for 08. This on second thought would be a bad idea, Edwards did not help Kerry in 04, can see him as Attorney General of the United States.

Why Hillary ?

Huffington Post: Looks at why Hillary Clinton is still in the race. The Elite Media is bored, they want to move on to the general election.

Edwards for Obama

Both CNN and the BBC News report that former Democratic Senator John Edwards, Vice - President nominee in 2004 and a candidate this time around is to endorse Senator Obama. This shows if it needing showing that this race is over for the Democrats.

Obama and West Virginia

New York Times: Ms Dowd on how Obama has to up his game, JFK overcame similar problems in 1960, Obama has to be a better candidate than JFK as to win states such as West Virginia. Is Obama another JFK of 1960.

The Left and Hillary Clinton

Salon.com: In the 90s, Hillary Clinton saw a vast right wing conspiracy, today I would advice her to look to the left. This article by Camille Pagila makes the right look supportive these days.

Clinton 2012 ?

New York Post: Reports on the prospects that Clinton will run in 2012. Views has stated that the political reality of that happening is low, four years is a life time in politics, and of course should Obama win, we are talking four to eight years.

West Virginia Result

BBC News: Reports on the big win by Hillary Clinton in West Virginia. The final result was Clinton 67% and Obama 26%. Obama lost by 39%. Although impressive win, does not matter, Obama will be the nominee. What is interesting is the Congressional Special election in Mississippi which the Democrats have won, a pattern is developing. It could be projected that the Democrats will increase their majorities in Congress. On the Presidential Level, we could see a split ticket development. McCain gets Reagan Democrats who vote for a Democratic Congress.
