Washington Post: Reports on how Senator McCain will use this time that the Democrats are having an Alley fight, the WP states the following, " weeks of heavy fundraising, a trip abroad, policy speeches and a biography tour aimed at broadening his appeal beyond traditional Republican voters. " The Senator can meet PM Brown in the UK, visit France and President Sarkozy, go to Iraq and show the improvment, make the press follow him, if they dont shout typical Liberal Media, the Conservatives will love that argument, if McCain plays this right he can be the wave that sweeps in Novemeber.

Good Advice from Ms Dowd
New York Times: Good advice from Ms Dowd to the Obama Camp, develop a back bone and go after Hillary Clinton as if your in an Alley fight, because the Clinton Camp want to win and dont care who they have to destroy to reach that goal. But a more important advice at the end of the page, " If he thinks Hillary has cut him down to size lately, he’d better imagine what his life would be like as the Clintons’ vice president. " The Aides to Obama should make him watch the West Wing and how the Vice - President was treated, badly would be an understatement. Think the West Wing but worse, at the end of every meeting you would have Bill Clinton in the room. At least JFK kept Bobby down stairs, it seem he was never asked up stairs, Bill would be there day and night!!
RCP - Delegate Count for Dems
RCP: Reports that Obama is ahead of Clinton by 123 Delegates, this includes the uber Super Delegates. Here is the scorecard for the Dems: Obama 1588, Clinton 1465. As noted prev post, Obama has to keep this lead but also the popular vote, and make sure if re - vote in Florida and Michigan that he can keep his vote from before or even better increase his vote in these two states.
Final Wyoming Result
BBC News: Reports that in the final result from Wyoming Obama defeated Clinton. In vote terms, Obama 61%, Clinton 38%. The Democratic Race has a very long way to go before its end. Obama on the whole will always have more pledge delegates but the Clintons are moving the game with the Super Delegates, the want to get more of the popular vote than Obama, thus Obama needs to get pledge delegates but also make sure he is ahead of Clinton in the popular vote.

Obama for VP?
Fox News: One gets the feeling, that the Clinton Campaign knowing it cant win on pledge delegates and needs Super Delegates is pushing the idea, if Clinton can steal the election she will place Obama on the ticket. Advice to the Senator, don't take it if offered, will make LBJ under Kennedy look like happy hour, there will be Hillary and Bill Clinton, the Vice - President will be sent abroad a lot and I mean a lot. Look what happened to Al Gore, he should have won but the damage of years close to the Clinton's was to much for the folks. What about the other way around, Obama - Clinton ticket, would drive Bill up the wall!!
