McCain adviser steps down to avoid working against Obama

(CNN) — John McCain’s chief media adviser said Tuesday he is stepping down rather than campaign against Barack Obama. Mark McKinnon said last year that he would leave McCain’s campaign after the primary season if the Arizona senator were to run against Obama. The Illinois senator is not the Democratic nominee, but he has accumulated a significant lead in the number of delegates required to claim the nomination. In a 2007 interview with Cox News, McKinnon said he would vote for McCain, but "I just don't want to work against an Obama candidacy." He added that if Obama were to reach the White House, it "would send a great message to the country and the ...

WASHINGTON (AP) - Sen. Barack Obama reached a majority of the pledged delegates at stake in the primaries and caucuses Tuesday, a symbolic milestone in his march toward the Democratic nomination for president. But he still has work to do to claim victory over Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton. Clinton won most of the delegates Tuesday night, including an overwhelming majority in Kentucky. Obama fared better in Oregon, where they were still counting votes early Wednesday. Clinton won at least 54 delegates in the two states and Obama won at least 39, according to an analysis of election returns by The Associated Press. All 51 delegates from Kentucky were awarded but there were still 10 of 52 to ...

By John Whitesides, Political Correspondent WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democrat Barack Obama has opened an 8-point national lead on Republican John McCain as the U.S. presidential rivals turn their focus to a general election race, according to a Reuters/Zogby poll released on Wednesday. Obama, who was tied with McCain in a hypothetical head-to-head matchup last month, moved to a 48 percent to 40 percent lead over the Arizona senator in May as he took command of his grueling Democratic presidential duel with rival Hillary Clinton. The Illinois senator has not yet secured the Democratic presidential nomination to run against McCain in November. The poll also found Obama expanded his lead ...

« Mark McKinnon, true to vow, exits McCain team rather than fight Obama | Main Money shocker! Hillary Clinton's campaign debt soars to $31 million No wonder Sen. Hillary Clinton was so late filing her required campaign financial reports Tuesday night. Her political team didn't want the shocking news in it to overshadow her lopsided thumping of Sen. Barack Obama in Kentucky. Now comes the morning after, pay-up time. Clinton's campaign debt has now soared to nearly $31 million, according to numbers crunched early this morning by The Times' campaign finance guru, Dan Morain. She added another $9.5 million in unpaid bills to venders this past month ...
Clinton Wins Her Faithful in Ky., But Obama Gains Whites in Oregon

Kentucky's Democratic electorate proved tailor-made for Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, as her most reliable voters turned out in large numbers, giving her a win of better than 2 to 1 over Sen. Barack Obama. But Obama scored a rare double-digit win among white voters in Oregon, capitalizing on that state's more liberal electorate. In Kentucky, white women -- core Clinton supporters -- made up half of all Democratic primary voters, and whites without college degrees made up 59 percent. According to the network exit poll, Clinton beat Obama by overwhelming margins among both groups, and she carried those age 65 and older by 60 percentage points, her second-best showing among older ...

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) - Barack Obama stands at the brink of victory in the Democratic presidential race. He has defeated Hillary Rodham Clinton in the Oregon primary and is within 100 delegates of the total needed to claim the top prize at the party convention this summer. He told cheering supporters at a rally in Iowa that they had put him within reach of the nomination. Iowa is the overwhelmingly white state that launched the black, first-term senator from Illinois on his improbable path to victory last January. And John McCain won the Oregon primary as well on the Republican side.

(CBS/AP) Sen. Hillary Clinton coasted to easy victory in the Kentucky primary on Tuesday. With almost all precincts reporting in Kentucky, Clinton leads Sen. Barack Obama 65 percent to 30 percent. "This is one of the closest races for a party's nomination in modern history," Clinton told supporters celebrating her victory. "We're winning the popular vote, and I'm more determined than ever to see that every vote is cast and every ballot is counted." Even so, she commended Obama and said whatever their differences, "we do see eye to eye when it comes to uniting our party and electing a Democratic president this fall." She also said Michigan and ...

The polls in Kentucky close at 7:00pm ET and in Oregon at 11:00pm ET but here is a look at some of the early exit poll numbers. (Note: Because Oregon conducts all elections by mail, the poll in that state was conducted by phone and was completed on Sunday). The split within the Democratic Party that has been evident in recent contests like West Virginia was revealed once again in Kentucky, where 80 percent of those voting for Hillary Clinton saying they would be dissatisfied with Barack Obama as the Democratic nominee while just 19 percent said they would be satisfied. Forty-nine percent of Obama voters in Kentucky said they would be dissatisfied with Clinton as the nominee while 47 ...

Barr Run May Tip Georgia to Obama by decon [Subscribe] Tue May 20, 2008 at 01:47:35 PM PDT New polling and analysis from Insider Advantage show that Georgia may be a dead heat: (5/20/08) An InsiderAdvantage/Majority Opinion survey of 652 likely voters shows that a Libertarian candidacy by former Republican Congressman Bob Barr could create a free-for-all in Georgia in November. Click through to Insider Advantage and read the poll and analysis for yourself. This provides an interesting counterpoint to the recent Clinton electability arguments.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- For Hillary Clinton's staff, two for the price of one has always been complicated. On the day Kentucky heads to the polls, former president Bill Clinton joined his wife to greet people at Lynn's Paradise Café, a kitschy restaurant here. A reporter shouted a question at Hillary Clinton, asking, "would you want to comment on sexism in the campaign?" It's a theme many Clinton supporters have raised, as has the candidate herself. "Oh, I'm just having a good time talking to everybody in Kentucky," Sen.Clinton said, brushing the question aside to resume posing for pictures and chatting with voters. Bill Clinton, who was following ...

The latest pre-primary polls suggest that Hillary Clinton has faint hopes of stalling Barack Obama's march to the Democratic nomination. Obama had been leading by double digits in Oregon, where he expects to win on Tuesday, enabling him to declare victory in the pledged delegate race and perhaps sew up the nomination. But the latest polls in Oregon show Clinton within striking distance. Obama leads 45 percent to 41 percent with 8 percent undecided and 6 percent refusing a response, according to a Suffolk University survey released this morning. An American Research Group survey puts Obama's lead at 50 percent to 45 percent. UPDATE: Two other new surveys, however, give Obama a ...

What Are We Waiting For? Joel S. Hirschhorn Long before the disastrous George W. Bush administration, I had been waiting for profound, systemic changes in our political system. Perversely, I saw the upside of Bush as motivating more Americans to demand political change. And that happened. But the national yearning for change was co-opted by Ron Paul on the right and Barack Obama on the left while John Edwards with the most authentic populist change message fizzled out early. It is not enough to want, demand and support change, not when change is more of a campaign slogan than a carefully detailed set of reforms. Critically needed is a firm understanding of what specific changes can ...

A flirtation with Chicken Little By Wesley Pruden May 20, 2008 Campaigning in Oregon, he told an audience in Portland — which rivals San Francisco as the most self-consciously politically correct city in America — that he's a true believer in Al's "cap-and-trade" solution to global warming. (Thousands cheered when Barack Obama suggested that if they don't listen to him they might not get enough to eat.) The global-warming fanatics no longer call it global warming. Now it's "climate change," which will enable the doomcriers to sing their song uninterrupted the next time the globe leaves the warming cycle to enter the cooling cycle. ...
The Obamassiah

He is Come! Or so many claim. Senator Barack Obama has been labeled the Messiah, or a Secular Messiah, since in many ways he is either positioning himself as a Savior of the American people, and his devotees are acting in a curious religious fashion. Especially since his Tennessee campaign motto is “Faith, Hope, Change.” Strange no one calls him on his blatant appeal to the Christianists among us. And I can’t help reproducing the Book of The Obamassiah, of unknown authorship (I’ve seen it by several people on different sites, though first at HotAir): The Book of The Obamassiah The Obamassiah shall reveal himself to us by his teachings, which will be the spoken word ...

A shot at Huckabee In a bid to replace Mike Huckabee as the main electoral threat to John McCain, Bob Barr – the Libertarian candidate – takes a shot: “Mike Huckabee showed incredibly poor taste when he joked about a gun pointed at Sen. Barack Obama. His words were reckless, callous and harmful to the sports men and women of America and to those of us who fully support the Second Amendment. “Every candidate for public office inflames the passions of people who fervently disagree with them. To suggest, as Gov. Huckabee did, the misuse of a firearm toward a political candidate is reckless. His attitude toward proper, legal and safe use of firearms was demeaning to all ...

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama turned up the heat on his faith outreach in Kentucky, which holds its primary on Tuesday, by distributing fliers of him speaking in front of a big illuminated cross. “Faith. Hope. Change,” reads the bold printed words at the top of the flier. Then below the picture of the glowing cross is a message from Obama about his Christian faith.“My faith teaches me that I can sit in church and pray all I want,” Obama is quoted on the flier. “But I won’t be fulfilling God’s will unless I go out and do the Lord’s work.”The flier is the latest push by the likely Democratic presidential nominee to court religious ...

Fried foods are forbidden at the committee's 22 or so events, as is liquid served in individual plastic containers. Plates must be reusable, like china, recyclable or compostable. The food should be local, organic or both. And caterers must provide foods in "at least three of the following five colors: red, green, yellow, blue/purple, and white," garnishes not included, ...
