Could tight election races in both parties lead to brokered conventions?

WASHINGTON — What happens if the primaries don't produce presidential nominees for one party — or the other — or both? For Democrats, the Hillary Clinton-Barack Obama race could continue through the primaries. If John Edwards stays in, he could win enough delegates to prevent either Clinton or Obama from securing enough convention delegates to win the nomination. On the Republican side, the once implausible seems possible. Three candidates — Mike Huckabee, John McCain and Mitt Romney — each have won important early contests. All show strength among disparate party constituencies. A fourth candidate, Rudy Giuliani, hasn't seriously competed in any ...
Demoncrats Pass on Challenge to South Carolina Primary

Democrats Pass on Challenge to Secret Vote Counting in South Carolina This is the place to affix the STAMP. Link Michael Collins "Scoop" Independent News Washington, DC South Carolinians mounted a serious protest to the onerous "Stamp Act" imposed on the colonies by British rulers. The act levied a tax to pay for the "Seven Years War" which established Great Britain as the world's dominant colonial power. South Carolinians resisted funding their own domination through payment of the tax. Today, the Palmetto state faces a challenge beyond the Stamp Act. Their state constitution is clear, if not elegant, in its definition of the basic elements of ...
Are McCain's handlers playing the wrong card?

John McCain is being hailed by the press as a "genuine war hero." But is he a war hero in the conventional sense like Audie Murphy and John Glenn? Or is his "war hero" status the creation of a very slick publicity campaign that plays on flag, duty, honor and country? For sure, McCain has the fruitsalad a Silver Star, a Legion of Merit for Valor, a Distinguished Flying Cross, three Bronze Stars , two Commendation medals plus two Purple Hearts and a dozen service gongs. On a purely medal count basis, he outweighs Murphy and Glenn, who both for years repeatedly performed extraordinary deeds on the ground or in the air against an armed enemy. McCain's valor awards are ...

Bill Clinton: John McCain and Hillary are 'very close'

(CNN) — If Hillary Clinton and John McCain become their party's presidential nominees, the general election race is likely to be a love-fest. At least according to Bill Clinton. Campaigning in Spartanburg, South Carolina, Friday, the former president brushed aside suggestions his wife would prove to be a divisive nominee for the Democratic Party, pointing out how she has successfully worked with Republicans in the Senate — including one of the current GOP presidential candidates. "She and John McCain are very close," Clinton said. "They always laugh that if they wound up being the nominees of their party, it would be the most civilized election in American ...

(CNSNews.com) - Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) secured more than $1 million in federal funding last year for a Harlem-based non-profit whose leader gave her presidential campaign a major endorsement last weekend. Clinton -- who is aggressively competing for the black vote with her chief rival for the Democratic presidential nomination, Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) -- touted the endorsement of Rev. Calvin O. Butts III, a prominent black leader and pastor of one of the oldest black churches in America, the Abyssinian Baptist Church of Harlem. The $555-billion FY 2008 omnibus spending bill approved last month by Congress included 11 appropriations bills with 11,000 earmarks. Clinton teamed with ...

George W. Bush destroyed the Republican Party (and America)
Post Date: 2008-01-25 12:19:50 by Horse

George W. Bush destroyed the Republican Party, by which I mean he sundered it, broke its constituent pieces apart and set them against each other. He did this on spending, the size of government, war, the ability to prosecute war, immigration and other issues. Were there other causes? Yes, of course. But there was an immediate and essential cause. And this needs saying, because if you don't know what broke the elephant you can't put it together again. The party cannot re-find itself if it can't trace back the moment at which it became lost. It cannot heal an illness whose origin is kept obscure. I believe that some of the ferocity of the pundit wars is due to a certain amount ...

Washington - The New York Times newspaper is endorsing Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican John McCain for their party's presidential nominations in editorials published online Thursday night. The influential editorial board said they were 'hugely impressed' by New York Senator Hillary Clinton's 'depth of knowledge' and 'force of intellect.' The Times editorial board said though Democrat rival Illinois Senator Barack Obama had built an 'exciting campaign,' Clinton's experience gave her an advantage. 'As Democrats look ahead to the primaries in the biggest states on February 5, The Times' editorial board strongly recommends that they ...

CNN: Rush Limbaugh, Talk Radio’s Power ‘Diminishing’

CNN correspondent Carol Costello’s report on Thursday’s "The Situation Room" would have you believe that Rush Limbaugh and conservative talk radio have "lost influence," and the supposed proof is John McCain’s success up to this point in the Republican race for the presidential nomination. During the report, which aired at the bottom of the 5 pm Eastern hour, Costello proclaimed that Republican primary voters have "betrayed" conservative talk show hosts, and the evidence that this is the case is John McCain’s primary victories in New Hampshire and South Carolina. She used a sound bite from former Republican Congressman Bob Barr to reenforce ...

Giuliani memo questions latest polls

Boca Raton, FL — While recent polling out of Florida makes the GOP primary look increasingly like a two-man battle between John McCain and Mitt Romney, Rudy Giuliani is arguing that we should not count him out yet. An internal Giuliani memo suggests that the most recent polls report “conflicting results,” noting that five public polls released in the last 24 hours show McCain leading in two polls, Romney leading in two polls and a three-way tie in the last. It also argues that absentee and early voting may work in the campaign’s advantage since Giuliani has had the state to himself for the last three weeks. But the memo does not account for the latest Mason-Dixon poll ...

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24 (KUNA) -- Arizona Senator John McCain, who is trying to become the front runner in the race for the Republican nomination for U.S. president, on Thursday turned his attention to the Democrats, saying he was "absolutely astonished" that Senator Hillary Clinton "says she wants to surrender in Iraq -- she wants to wave the white flag." "After all the sacrifice we have made in this (U.S. troop) surge, which everybody knows is succeeding, she wants to surrender and bring the troops home and set a date for withdrawal," McCain said in a "Fox and Friends" interview. McCain, interviewed from Florida, said the topic of the Iraq war will be ...

Internal Memo Takes On Obama’s Mideast Approach By Jennifer Siegel Wed. Jan 23, 2008 A confidential memo questioning Senator Barack Obama’s potential approach to Middle East policy was distributed earlier this month among staffers at a major American Jewish organization. Obama’s approach to dealing with Iran “raises questions,” said the document, which circulated within the American Jewish Committee. It also suggested that Obama placed the burden of solving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict primarily on the Jewish state. The memo, a copy of which was given to the Forward, was written by Debra Feuer, the AJCommittee’s counsel for special projects. It also ...

Kucinich Abandons White House Bid By JOE MILICIA – 26 minutes ago CLEVELAND (AP) — Democrat Dennis Kucinich is abandoning his second, long-shot bid for the White House as he faces a tough fight to hold onto his other job — U.S. congressman. In an interview with Cleveland's Plain Dealer, the six-term House member said he was quitting the race and would make a formal announcement on Friday. "I will be announcing that I'm transiting out of the presidential campaign," Kucinich said. "I'm making that announcement tomorrow about a new direction." Kucinich has received little support in his presidential bid; he got 1 percent of the vote in the ...

Davos Bill is tarnishing his philanthropic brand By John Gapper Published: January 23 2008 20:10 | Last updated: January 23 2008 20:10 Up here in Davos, in the mountain air, the usual philanthropic suspects have gathered for the World Economic Forum. Bono, George Soros and Bill and Melinda Gates are all here. One old hand is out of town, however: Bill Clinton, the former US president and quintessential Davos man. Davos is a place ideally made for Mr Clinton in his post-presidential incarnation. He embodies the aspects of the US that are still admired by the rest of the world after nearly eight years of George W. Bush. He is eloquent, thoughtful, sensitive to inequality and suffering ...

President Hillary The Era of Dynastic Politics, Where Nothing Really Changes By Paul Craig Roberts If polls are reliable, Hillary will win the Democratic nomination. The Democratic groups that prefer Obama are not sufficiently numerous to give him the nomination. Of course, anything can happen in a political campaign, but the latest Field Poll of likely California Democrats and independent voters gives Hillary a 39 to 27 percent lead over Obama. This is bad news for Obama, because California is a progressive state where race is less likely to be a handicap. Obama is favored by those who rank the Iraq war and foreign policy as the most important issues, by blacks, college graduates, and ...

Super Tuesday Won't Decide Nominations Jan 24, 6:57 AM (ET) By STEPHEN OHLEMACHER WASHINGTON (AP) - Don't look to crown any presidential nominees on Super Tuesday. The race for delegates is so close in both parties that it is mathematically impossible for any candidate to lock up the nomination on Feb. 5, according to an Associated Press analysis of the states in play that day. "A lot of people were predicting that this presidential election on both sides was going to be this massive sprint that ended on Feb. 5," said Jenny Backus, a Democratic consultant who is not affiliated with any candidate. Now it's looking as if the primaries after Super Tuesday - including ...

ABC News' Eloise Harper Reports: Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., flew across the country to receive the United Farm Workers endorsement in Salinas, California on Tuesday. The Union, founded in 1962 by Cesar Chavez, represents 27,000 farm workers. The Senator took the stage with bleachers filled behind her with UFW members wearing red t-shirts chanting "Si Se Puede!" Clinton who rarely utters Spanish to Hispanic crowds, shouted back at one point during her remarks. "Si se pueda is right! That's right, yes we can!" Clinton used the wrong tense of the the word "puede," presumably accidentally to the crowd. Clinton has admittidly told audiences that her ...
