Bill Clinton on Hillary 08

CNN: Reports that Bill Clinton still thinks Hillary can win the nomination. The theory being that if she can win big in the up coming states the Super Delegates will give her the nomination. A majority of these Super Delegates are politicians in their own right, they are not going to lose the African - American vote to help Hillary Clinton. One thinks of the Clinton Campaign as a nightmare that you have just woken from, but you are still in the dream, when it will end!!

NYT and Clinton and Obama

New York Times: Interesting article on the RFK comment and how it was treated by the Media through the day. One thing that really struck VIEWS and mentioned in the article is in this day and age you need a good broadband connection, if you report or blog on politics.

NYT on Hillary

New York Times: Ms Dowd is right on the money, she writes the following on Hillary, " Obama now has the perfect excuse not to pick Hillary as his running mate. She has been too unseemly in her desire to be on the scene if he trips, or gets hit with a devastating story. .." But as noted in previous post, if Hillary has the majority of the popular vote and Bill uses his magic to get the super delegates to give her the VP spot, Obama might be stuck with her, the only way not to have her is to put his foot down and pick someone that helps him and force the Convention to follow his lead, that is called leadership.

What Next ?

The Washington Post: Reports that the Clinton Campaign main aim is to get the popular vote majority over Obama, the Post states the following on Clinton, " aggressively campaigning in the final three contests of the primary season in the hope of seizing a victory in the overall popular vote..." The question that has to be asked is why, Reagan in 1976 had the popular vote over Ford but still lost, Craig Shirley points out in his excellent book on the 1976 Campaign that Reagan would have taken the VP spot if Ford had offered it to him, is Clinton forcing the Obama Camp to offer her the VP spot, if not to help with Campaign debts, make her Secretary of State, the Supreme Court, or a combination of the above. VIEWS thinks that she is after the VP spot, Obama is going to have a hard time is saying NO. The first African - American Nominee and the second woman VP Nominee would be a hard slog with the voters, also the Clintons have a lot of baggage.

UK Media on Clinton and RFK comment

The Times: Reports on the negative reaction to the Clinton comment and how Bill Clinton is after a White House pass via the door of the VP spot for Hillary Clinton. After this comment there is no way Obama will take her as his VP, think of her on the campaign trail with Bill, the damage they could do to Obama in 08.

The Telegraph: How Hillary Clinton has had to back peddle over her RFK comment and the prospect of the VP spot with Obama. As stated Obama might have given her the VP spot early on if she had made a grace full exit not now, Mrs Obama would not be happy with Hillary as VP after the RFK comment.

NYT and Hillary Clinton

New York Times: Is less that impressed with Hillary Clinton and her apology, the Times states the following, " Is it even possible that Mrs. Clinton thinks someone out there was not offended by her remark, Kennedy relative, Obama relative, or just plain folks? " As the paper has endorsed Hillary Clinton they are walking back, the race card and now this, the liberal elite will make her life hell for the time she stays in the race.
