Hillary Clinton Wins Key Primaries: Ohio, Rhode Island and Texas

March 4, 2008 11:18 pm

The rumors of and calls for Hillary Clinton’s campaign demise were grossly exaggerated… Hillary Clinton is still very much in this race. And I think it’s time to remind those calling for Hillary to give up the ghost, that they should “never underestimate the power of a woman.” Clinton’s wins came in tonight “in the Texas, Ohio and Rhode Island primaries.” “For everyone here in Ohio and across America who’s been ever been counted out but refused to be knocked out, for everyone who...

Before I get to the primary results tonight, I’m playing catch up on some of the news of primary day. Following up on Stuart’s post earlier today that the Obama campaign was reprimanded for “dirty tricks” in Ohio today, 2008Central.net reported earlier that “the Clinton Campaign held an urgent press call to discuss reported incidents of voting irregularities and intimidation taking place at primary conventions (caucuses) across the state of Texas.” Hmmm… more dirty tricks from the “hope” campaign:...

It’s official — John McCain is the presumptive GOP nominee. McCain, a one-time party rebel whose campaign appeared doomed only seven months ago, became the Republican nominee for president on Tuesday night as he won sweeping victories in Ohio, Texas, Vermont and Rhode Island and as his dogged but lagging competitor, former Gov. Mike Huckabee of Arkansas, dropped out of the race. McCain will travel to Washington, D.C. tomorrow for “lunch with President Bush and then a formal endorsement in the...

Just Desserts for the Biased Press

Just when I thought this election season was the wackiest and ugliest I had seen in some time, the Clinton campaign provided the laugh of the day… and it was on the press. Via the L.A. Times blog Top Of The Ticket: Hillary Clinton puts the media in its place — the men’s room: Hillary Clinton’s Democratic presidential campaign dumped the traveling press corps exactly where many voters believe they belong today — in the men’s room of the...

Whatever Happened to Letting the People Decide

March 4, 2008 7:43 pm
By

Jonathan Alter’s latest “Hillary is finished” piece is part and parcel of what is wrong with elections in this country. How about we let the people decide, Mr. Alter. You can count delegates until you are blue in the face, but this race shouldn’t be decided by pundits putting pressure on candidates to drop out or favoring one candidate over the other with their biased opinions. Jonathan Alter has a “word comprehension“ and a “lack of brain” problem. Sphere: Related...

Today’s Primaries: Important and Controversial

In the reporting of results tonight we will, again, witness history. The momentum we’ve seen building in the last few days of the Clinton campaign may take HRC and her campaign to a new level. Or not. NPR showcases her determination to continue the campaign. Even polling shows the public coming to the same conclusion. It is a controversial night to say the least. Witness the late breaking news of alleged Obama illegal campaign tactics. There are also real...

Obama Campaign Reprimanded For Dirty Tricks…Repeatedly

Obama Campaign Reprimanded For Dirty Tricks…Repeatedly

The long anticipated story of the highly organized stacking of the caucus states and illegal efforts in Ohio and Texas has been brought to light, with many links into deeper reporting, by Taylor Marsh. It is a brilliant piece of fact gathering and linking. I have assumed all along that a brilliant organizer, like Obama, would be working ‘old school‘ techniques while continuing to brand, in the marketing sense, his campaign with emotional, manipulative ‘new school‘ language rather than...
