New “Dream Ticket” Group Tied To Clinton
Tue, 13 May 2008 06:39:12 +0000
Actually, it’s not just tied to Clinton, it’s comprised entirely of Clinton backers:
WASHINGTON — A group called VoteBoth has been leading the charge for Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama to team up on the Democratic ticket.
But the people behind it come from just one of those camps — Clinton’s — and one of their goals [...]

Maybe Obama Won’t Settle Hillary’s Debts
Tue, 13 May 2008 06:32:26 +0000
The idea seems to be DOA in the Obama camp:
So much for that! An Obama insider says the idea of helping Hillary with her debt went down very, very badly among supporters, donors, fundraisers, etc. This person says the most generous offer he could foresee would be Obama headlining a fundraiser for Hillary, but cautions [...]

McCain Promotes Aide Who Lobbied For Saudi Arabia
Tue, 13 May 2008 04:48:22 +0000
McCain hits Obama on an endorsement from Hamas he couldn’t control, then uses the situation to raise money, but then promotes a guy to one of the top spots in his own campaign who worked for a country where a majority of the 9/11 terrorists came from?
Hmmm…
Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) plans to name former [...]

Obama “Disses Boomers”?
Tue, 13 May 2008 04:23:07 +0000
Obama said this today in West Virginia…
One of the saddest episodes in our history was the degree to which returning vets from Vietnam were shunned, demonized and neglected by some because they served in an unpopular war. Too many of those who opposed the war in Vietnam chose to blame not only the leaders who [...]

Gallup: Obama Leads By 7
Tue, 13 May 2008 00:14:27 +0000
Looks like he may be getting that post-NC/IN bump.
The details…
This is based on national interviews with Democratic voters from May 9-11. Importantly, Obama has led Clinton in each individual day of polling included in today’s three-day rolling average, as well as the two days prior to that. Such stability was absent from the race for [...]

That’s +4 for the day for Obama since Hillary hasn’t picked up any.
First, senator Daniel Akaka endorses, making 19 senators for Obama…
“I’ve followed the campaign for president closely … to see which candidate would articulate a vision for our country, encourage hope and renew faith in our government, and stand to rigors of a nationwide [...]

McCain Facing Fundraising Problems
Mon, 12 May 2008 22:26:50 +0000
Looks like John McCain is having some fundraising problems. He’s not getting the kinds of money from Big Business that George Bush did and he’s even had trouble in Texas, typically a cash cow for Republicans. In fact, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton have raised more money in Texas than has McCain. Although, conceivably, that’s [...]

Mon, 12 May 2008 21:53:43 +0000
Polls indicate that Hillary Clinton is headed for landslide victories in Kentucky’s and West Virginia’s primaries. She leads by 29 and 34 points respectively. Unfortunately for Clinton, this is what’s known as too little, too late.
Still, the Barack Obama campaign has to be concerned that the Illinois Senator is still underperforming in states with high [...]
