Last night the rumor was that the New York Times decided to publish the McCain story because The New Republic was pressuring them to do so, or TNR may in fact “scoop” them on it. Today the TNR has published their response to this. It is a very interesting read at how this story has […]
Then why did McCain go out and hire a big wig D.C. attorney? Remember this was back in December when McCain’s campaign was in financial turmoil. Shouldn’t the “Straight Talk Express” have been able to straight talk their way right out of this? Something else on this subject is the new meme people like Tucker […]
Or should I say “victory yawn”. I watched it last night and it really got me thinking. He was talking about a need for change and how he would deliver it. So why does McCain think we need change? Wasn’t it his party that has held the White House for the past seven years? Is […]
First to the turnouts. In Wisconsin, Obama won 58%-41%. That’s not the only big news though. Look at these turnout numbers: Democratic: 1,099,004 Republican: 403,300 The Democrats had almost 3 times the turn out as the Republicans did yesterday. That is in Wisconsin – a state the Kerry and Gore won by only 1%. That […]
Here is our tracker for tonight: [election 81] Democratic delegates up for grab: WI – 64 HI – 17 If you want to keep up on the Washington primaries, you can do so here. This race is binding for the Republicans only. UPDATE 9:00 MSNBC And CNN calls Wi. for McCain. UPDATE 9:15 MSNBC Calls […]
Awww there must be trouble in paradise. McCain wants to use Bush for fundraising, but doesn’t “want the president to appear too often at his side”. Don’t worry about it John. We have enough memories of you two together: I think it’s time for a little project. We need to remind people exactly how close […]
Of course it is on campaign financing if they both become the nominees. I guess flip flopping on campaign finance is much worse than McCain’s recent flip flop on torture. Steve also points out how McCain’s attacks don’t even make sense. Obama never made a “pledge” and McCain is brining this up now when Obama […]
No big surprise there. This should put McCain past the threshold if all delegates follow along.
Currently Obama is ahead by 125 pledged delegates. The Clinton campaign is hoping to end the primary season only behind by 30 delegates. As near as I can tell that is going to be extremely hard to achieve. Going through numerous scenarios they might end up down 75-100 pledged delegates, but I wouldn’t be surprised […]
