By Dan SewellThe nation's former president has been spending a lot of time in some of Ohio's smallest cities and rural areas, trolling in small pools of voters who could be crucial in delivering the state's pivotal primary.With hopes for another Clinton White House on the line Tuesday, Bill Clinton is barnstorming places such as this Ohio river city in the south and Lima, a northwestern city no former or sitting Democratic president had been to since Harry Truman in 1948.Clinton, with five Ohio
(OHIO) — Sen. Hillary Clinton, continuing to “take the high road” as she did at the end of the end of the last presidential debate, said again today that she is “honored” to be running against Sen. Barack Obama.“I’m honored to ridicule him for his empty rhetoric,” said Sen. Clinton. “I’m honored to point out that his universal health care plan is doomed to fail because it won’t mandate universal participation like mine will. It’s a distinct honor to tell Americans that he doesn’t have a clue wh
The story of Barack Obama’s shady dealings with Antoin “Tony” Rezko over the the purchase of Obama’s Chicago mansion and the lot next door may be breaking fast enough to save Hillary Clinton in Texas and Ohio Tuesday. Even though the story was first reported in 2006 and the Chicago papers have been re-working the story the past few weeks, the liberal drive-by media throughout America has given it little play. If it weren’t for conservative bloggers, Obama might have gotten his party’s nominat
I agree with all of Prof. Schaff's comments. If McCain simply edits out the last ten seconds, he'd have a great campaign spot for the general election.
Obamamania Reaches New Heights of Mindless Drivel - Video | BLOGS FOR JOHN McCAIN: "Obamamania reaches new heights (or depths) of mindless drivel in this new video out on YouTube. You have to see it, and hear it, to believe it. Yet, it is totally representative of the Obama candidacy - all based on feelings, emotions, and - thin air. You would not normally expect us at Blogs for John McCain to post an Obama video. But this video so clearly reveals the emptiness of his campaign, that I just canno
This picture will be in every Democrat ad in 2008. John McCain has been attacking the Democrats hard now that he’s the presumed nominee of the Republican Party. Much like Bush attacked Kerry and Gore. Much like Bob Dole and George H.W. Bush attacked Clinton. Assuming McCain does finally get the nomination, the Republican Party is going to regress to the same tactics they’ve used for years to win elections by painting the Democratic nominee as an anti-American child of the hippie movement w
It has been a long time since I have read about a film being banned. Generally, films are just cut until they are “acceptable” to the mass audience (rather, what some arbitrary group deems to be suitable for the public at large). I am just as shocked as you are to discover the British Government has outright banned writer/director Nick Palumbo’s Murder Set Pieces in a column over at CHUD. Could this be the start of a new era of “video nasties”? Don’t get too excited. Like CHUD’s Devin Faraci s
Barack Obama's presidential campaign showed off its nimbleness -- and, even more so, its overflowing treasury -- with the quickly produced response ad to the "3 a.m. in the morning" spot that the Hillary Clinton team unveiled earlier in the day (here's the Clinton ad; here's the Obama one). But Obama's cadres of aides also pay attention to the smallest of details. And that was on vivid display tonight at the candidate's rally in San Antonio. Every urinal in the men's rooms at Verizon amphithe
High Democratic Turnout Sends a Mixed Signal for November (Kent Garber, February 28, 2008, US News) [F]or starters, primary turnout rates (in terms of ballots cast) historically tend to be higher for Democrats than Republicans. From 1972 to 2004, there were only two primary elections in which Republicans had a higher cumulative turnout: 1996 (when Bill Clinton, as the incumbent, essentially made Democratic primaries that year irrelevant) and 2000 (when Al Gore, as the sitting vice president, m
Hope and fear: Democratic economic policy sounds worryingly populist (The Economist, 2/28/08) FOR a man who has placed “hope” at the centre of his campaign, Barack Obama can sound pretty darned depressing. As the battle for the Democratic nomination reaches a climax in Texas and Ohio, the front-runner's speeches have begun to paint a world in which laid-off parents compete with their children for minimum-wage jobs while corporate fat-cats mis-sell dodgy mortgages and ship jobs off to Mexico.
