March 5, 2008 Pyrrhus' Playbook A Great Day for John McCain (and Maybe Nader) By ALEXANDER COCKBURN and JEFFREY ST. CLAIR The race for the Democratic nomination now lurches on to what is already being billed as the next major battleground in Pennsylvania on April 22, and any Democrat with any memory of kindred blood lettings in the past should shiver as history begins to repeat itself. After eight disastrous years of Bush, with a candidate like John McCain, who says he knows nothing the economy and thinks the US will be in Iraq for the next 100 years, almost the only way any Democratic nominee can lose the presidential face off in the fall with be a protracted internecine battle, ...

Obama, Clinton battle; McCain clinches By DAVID ESPO - AP Special Correspondent WASHINGTON -- Hillary Rodham Clinton won the Rhode Island primary Tuesday night and raced to a big lead in Ohio, but struggled to make a major dent in Barack Obama's delegate lead in a riveting Democratic presidential race. Arizona Sen. John McCain, an unflinching supporter of the war in Iraq, clinched the Republican nomination. Clinton claimed victory in Ohio, and told cheering supporters, "We're going on, we're going strong and we're going all the way." Obama won the Vermont primary for his 12th straight victory in one month's time, and the two rivals were locked in a tight ...

Inside Obama's Surging Net-Roots Campaign By Sarah Lai Stirland 03.03.08 | 3:00 PM Mario Champion, a 37-year-old web application designer and political activist, spent the weekend pounding the pavement in his home neighborhood in southern Austin, Texas, to promote Barack Obama. One of 10 captains in precinct 461, Champion knocked on the doors of 60 addresses ladled out from the Obama campaign's online precinct-captain training tool, a web application that manages volunteer canvassers and tracks their efforts. Once Champion and the other precinct captains returned from their "block walks," they entered the results of their expeditions back into the database, logging ...

Tuesday, March 4th 2008, 1:51 AM SAN ANTONIO, Tex. - An exasperated Barack Obama scurried away Monday from the toughest news conference of his campaign, telling reporters who kept shouting questions that he'd spent enough time on the grill. "Come on! I just answered, like, eight questions," Obama, looking surprised, told shouting reporters as he fled the room. "We're running late." The Clinton campaign has long complained that Obama gets soft treatment from the press corps. But Monday's exchange was no pillow fight. The first question was about a private talk an Obama economic adviser had with a Canadian official - reportedly saying that the harshness of ...

Senators Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama battled over national security and trade in a frantic burst of last-minute campaigning on Monday as Mrs. Clinton accused Mr. Obama of deception and new evidence of discord surfaced within her own camp. With less than 24 hours to go before voting in Ohio, Texas, Vermont and Rhode Island, Mrs. Clinton’s campaign released a television advertisement accusing Mr. Obama of being AWOL from his chairmanship of a Senate oversight committee on the forces fighting in Afghanistan. “He was too busy running for president to hold even one hearing,” it said. Mr. Obama’s campaign, counterpunching, said Mrs. Clinton had herself missed ...

Live! Primary Night Talking Web Heads (And Some You Can’t See) By Saul Hansell There is no better sign that we have entered an era of total media convergence than the decision by the Washington Post and Newsweek to host live video broadcasts on the Web of the presidential primary results. One of the great benefits of being a print reporter is that you don’t have to vamp while trying to cover some event live when nothing is happening. Even with the immediacy of the Internet, when you can liveblog or near-live blog, you don’t have to update a post if there is nothing to add. The Post’s approach, which it started on Super Tuesday and repeated for the Potomac primary, is ...
UPDATE 1-Canada defends Obama over NAFTA flap

OTTAWA(Reuters) - Canada defended Democratic front-runner Barack Obama Monday over accusations from rival Hillary Clinton that he is secretly at ease with a hemispheric trade accord which he publicly blames for losing U.S. jobs. Clinton's criticism, on the eve of make-or-break presidential nomination contests for her in Ohio and Texas, stemmed from a report by Canadian television station CTV that an Obama economic adviser told Canadian officials the candidate was not seriously considering disrupting the trade accord. But the Canadian Embassy in Washington released a statement essentially backing up the Obama camp's version of the meeting between adviser Austan Goolsbee and ...
Why Isn't Iraq in the 2008 Election?

The following speech, transcribed by Democracy Now!, was delivered by Chomsky in Massachusetts at an event sponsored by Bikes Not Bombs. 03/03/08 "Democracy Now!" -- - -Not very long ago, as you all recall, it was taken for granted that the Iraq war would be the central issue in the 2008 election, as it was in the midterm election two years ago. However, it's virtually disappeared off the radar screen, which has solicited some puzzlement among the punditry. Actually, the reason is not very obscure. It was cogently explained forty years ago, when the US invasion of South Vietnam was in its fourth year and the surge of that day was about to add another 100,000 troops to the ...

AUSTIN, Texas - On the eve of critical primary contests that could effectively end the protracted quest for the Democratic nomination, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton focused the presidential race Monday on credibility and whether the Illinois senator's vow to rework a controversial international trade pact was a politically motivated promise. Obama also said he has nothing new to tell reporters about his friend and former fundraiser, political insider and real estate developer Antoin "Tony" Rezko, whose trial on federal corruption charges began in Chicago on Monday. With voting Tuesday in the big delegate prize states of Ohio and Texas, as well as in Rhode Island and ...

Texas short on election workers for primary 03/03/2008 @ 9:46 am Filed by David Edwards and Muriel Kane With a record voter turnout expected in Tuesday's primary, Texas is scrambling to find enough election workers to cover the polls. Election Judge Mike Conwell even went door-to-door in Travis County on Saturday, looking for volunteers. "I think it is an unusual step ... but I'm kind of running out of options," Conwell told Austin's KVUE News. "If the county doesn't get enough volunteers by Tuesday," KVUE reported, "precincts may be combined, which could create confusion for voters." There could be even greater problems facing Texas ...

The Dallas Morning News gets hold of Clinton caucus "training materials," in which supporters are instructed to fight for procedural control of caucuses. The materials say in part, "DO NOT allow the supporter of another candidate to serve in leadership roles." It goes on to say, "If our supporters are outnumbered, ask the Temporary Chair if one of our supporters can serve as the Secretary, in the interest of fairness. "The control of the sign-in sheets and the announcement of the delegates allotted to each candidate are the critical functions of the Chair and Secretary. This is why it is so important that Hillary supporters hold these positions." Some ...
Clinton under pressure to quit White House race

DEMOCRAT Hillary Clinton faced pressure today to abandon her White House bid heading into pivotal contests in Ohio and Texas that are unlikely to dent Barack Obama's surging momentum. Democratic grandees who are supporting Senator Obama said for the sake of party unity, Senator Clinton should consider her options after Tuesday's primary battles as the Republicans rally behind their heir apparent, John McCain. The pressure on the former first lady intensified as new polls suggested she was deadlocked with Senator Obama in Texas and Ohio, far from the kind of blowout wins that she needs to overhaul his lead among Democratic delegates. However, the former first lady has come out ...
GOP Frets Over Democratic Fundraising

WASHINGTON - For Republicans, watching Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama fight for supremacy in fundraising is not just a spectator sport. It is a look into the future, and the GOP isn't cheering. ADVERTISEMENT Obama and Clinton together raked in as much as seven times as much cash in February as John McCain, the all-but-certain Republican nominee. The Democrats, particularly Obama, are also developing a broad base of fervent donors whose help goes beyond sending money. Some Republicans are sounding alarms. "Since the midterm election of 2006, Democrats have had an enthusiasm gap with Republicans," said GOP strategist Scott Reed. "They have big crowds, raise ...
