So says Harry Reid Senate Majority Leader and Speaker Nancy Pelosi in an article on the New York Times website Harry Reid said, “By this time next week, it will all be over, give or take a day,”
Wanna bet Ms.Clinton and her supporters say, “Not so fast you two….,” LOL..
***Update**** Pelosi warns Clinton supporters but will they heed her advice?
I’m sending a big thank you to the people over at Slate.com for linking to my humble blog last week to all the guys and gals over there…
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
And I can’t forget all the people out there who keep coming back day after day and are linking and posting comments to my ‘ramblings’ thank you so much..I’m moving on up people and you all will be going with me.. our next stop CNN but I’ll settle for Air America…lol
So the Obama campaign has sent out a questionnaire/survey soliciting information from supporters upon completion you can offer any suggestions or advice you have for Obama and the upcoming general election campaign.
I like it.
I like it a lot.
I have never heard of a campaign doing something like this before just as I had never heard of a campaign asking for just five dollars the Obama campaign have broken lots of new ground this political season. Haven’t they? LOL
It can be argued that by actively requesting the advice of the ‘average girl and guy’ supporter Obama continues to fuel his campaign by helping to contribute to the feeling that every single person in his campaign matters no matter how small, they are just as powerful as his closest advisers.
It may be just a feeling but it works and it works well.
You can bet that present and future political campaigns are taking notes.
Well, they should be..
What’s this? Do all the Clintons have plans of occupying the White House?
First the dad got it, now the mom wants it and soon the daughter might go after it..man, I’m serious, the Clintons seem to think that the White House is their permanent home address..lol
Anyway, apparently Chelsea’s dad, Bill Clinton, thinks that his little girl might have political aspirations after being a surrogate for her mother this primary season.
All I have to say is if Chelsea Clinton plans to run for any office in this country, she’s gotta toughen up quite a bit and acquire some thicker skin. Cause the questions are going to be a whole lot tougher than the ones (or lack thereof) she got from a college students.
In addition, she wouldn’t or shouldn’t have the protection of her parents anymore and disparaging comments on the scale like the ones made by MSNBC’s David Shuster are going to come fast and furious and the journalists that state their observations aren’t going to be suspended or disciplined for reporting their conclusions instead they will be encouraged.
One of McCain’s top strategist, Mark Mckinnon, has kept his promise not to campaign against Barack Obama and has quit the McCain campaign.
Now, if only all political strategists had such loyalty..lol.
if you are willing to work for it, fight for it..our journey may be long..we are ready to come together..we are ready to believe again..
Change is coming, it’s the spirit..listen to him talk..preach it ma brother….
Turn off the t.v, turn of the video game and read to your children once in a while..all the time Obama…lol
Senator Clinton has shattered myths, broken barriers…,and regardless of what happens in this campaign we are grateful to her..nice..
He’s reaching out to her supporters..
” We have returned to Iowa with the majority of delegates and you have put us within reach of the democratic nomination..”
Inspite of our differences these things bind us together..
Now that Barack Obama has secured the nomination, by the numbers, what’s the next step?
Let’s listen to him to find out..
He’s in Iowa..
MSNBC has projected Hillary Clinton as the winner of the primary in Kentucky.
Clinton knows she’s not going to win the nomination or that it can’t be ‘handed’ to her by the super delegates but she’s got a point to prove and that is understandable. She’s Hillary Clinton. She got into this on her terms and she’s going to exit on them. Fair enough.
But the main story here would be if she only wins Kentucky by a slim margin now that would be the real story because it means Obama is making in roads with those white, blue collar democrats and that augurs well for the general election..
***Update****…Guess it wasn’t close after all..
If you happen to watch MSNBC as much as I do (I know, I know I have no life…lol) then you know the name and theface Michelle Bernard as CEO of a conservative women’s group and a Republican party supporter I’ve always wondered why she seems supportive of Obama’s candidacy and believe me I’m not the only one who’s noticed this.
After a comment by Chris Matthews on tonight’s Hardball about her heritage I now understand the enthusiasm she has repeatedly showed for Obama’s candidacy.
Bernard is the daughter of Jamaican immigrants and if you understand anything about the Caribbean and its people then you will understand why Michelle leans towards social and fiscal conservatism so that explains her political leanings.
However, at the same time she probably has a deep understanding of what it means to grow up black in America and also how significant and monumental it would be not only to America to have it’s first black president but also how much it would mean to all those in the black diaspora as well and this explains her Obama championing!
Hmm..now it all makes sense and by the way she’s separated from this guy..
BTW Sandy Leidholt took that awesome pix, check her out…
So why are the major networks talking as though he is?
Senator Ted Kennedy has been diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor. It’s a serious, serious, serious health concern and he should be in all of our thoughts and prayers.
However, what’s bothering me is the coverage of this event. All the major anchors and networks are covering this as though he’s dead. They’ve been asking his fellow senators for their thoughts about him, co workers who worked with him about what it was like working with him etc, etc and their tone has been so somber that if you weren’t following closely you would really think he’s past on.
I mean come on people, the man is probably in his hospital room watching all the coverage wtih a confused look on his face and asking his wife Vicki, “Hon, I’m still alive right?”
I really think the tone could be more positive rather than so somber if there is anyone in the Senate who can beat this ‘thing’ it would be Ted Kennedy so reporters and anchors shouldn’t be writing his eulogy just yet.
I don’t understand that..hasn’t this entire primary season been her chance?
I think Clinton thinks it’s this time or nothing, she should know there’s still 2016!
All she needs now is a gun in one hand and a beer in another..forget about those star bucks, black music loving, hippies…lol..
OMG..lol..
It’s amazing what some people would do for votes..god it would be so laughable, if it weren’t so sad..
That’s what this speech should be titled…
But no democrat will win that state this time either..I’m willing to bet..
Cause she’s the strongest candidate and let’s be honest here she has a point to prove and once again..that’s ok…
She needs your money..she’s asking us to go to her website..she has no shame..but that’s ok most politicians have none..lol
OMG!! A clinton, is quoting the bible..OMG..God please come for your world..LOL..
I’m waiting and waiting to hear one of the greatest speeches ever to be delivered..
Apparently Clinton will deliver that speech tonight and boy I can’t wait to hear it Chris Matthews and Keith Olberman have been talking about it all night..I guess the speech is being billed ‘as the greatest speech in the universe’, by Clintons’ people boy this is going to be good..lol
Move over Lincoln and Churchill, forget about the Gettysburg Address and the Never, Give In speeches..here comes Clinton with her victory speech after winning West Virginia..lol
I really hope I don’t fall asleep..
Obama must win at least one of the two primaries tomorrow and based on recent polling in both states Obama continues to lead in North Carolina while Clinton leads him in Indiana.
A win by Obama in either of the two states must be by a big enough margin, at least 10 points, for it to be considered a real victory and if he doesn’t, (I’m afraid to say it) and instead looses both primaries he will be handing the nomination to Ms.Clinton, who will then look to be the safer choice between the two, when their cases are brought before the super delegates.
If he wins one and she wins one then we’re looking to yet another primary on May 13 to be a decider, yet another delay and yet another week of this drawn out process, with the result being less time for the democratic nominee to prepare for the general election and more time for John McCain to marshal the troops and deploy the scouts to gather ’swift boating’ information.
Obama and his campaign are at the edge of a cliff looking over and the only thing that will stop them from careening over the other side will be victories by significant margins. Losses could ultimately end his campaign, ( as unfair as it is, we have always known that the deck has been stacked against him) this is unfortunate, since the same rules haven’t applied to his opponent.
N.B It’s good to see that the campaign has abandoned the large rallies for more intimate, one on one voter settings…if he does win Indiana tomorrow, it will be because of this change in strategy..
The first lady gave a rare press conference, today, on American aid and relief efforts to assist the people of cyclone ravished Burma.
And I must say, she did a pretty good job it was way better than most of her husband’s efforts.
