Re: Top 10 Reasons Obama Defeated Clinton for the Democratic Nomination

Re: Top 10 Reasons Obama Defeated Clinton for the Democratic Nomination Robert Creamer , You are 100% correct. The better team won. Senator Hillary Clinton took many things for granted. Advisers and strategists who are willing to listen, but unwilling to learn, surround her. She is like a film director with a bad casting director and ended up with a bad cast that ruined her first feature. Senator Barack Obama actually exploited the contrasts between him and Senator Hillary Clinton to use her popularity to his political advantage. She fell off her high horse while she was still celebrating her Super Tuesday victories. Only a miracle or a conspiracy of the universe can make her the Democratic nominee.Anything is possible in politics.

This is the same group to which Ronald Reagan delivered his historic " bold colors, not pale pastels " speech in 1975, sparking a new center-right coalition that would become the ground troops of the Reagan Revolution. In my speech, I called for a conservative "declaration of independenc...

Barack Obama: The New Face of America and other Realities

Image
The euphoria over the presidential candidacy of Senator Barack Obama in the American presidential race for the Oval Office is now the daily staple of the American news media. Barack Obama sells more newspapers and magazines and atttracts more visitors online. Nobody wants to be left out of the Obamania. I have read most of the news reports, features and commentaries on the political phenomenon of Barack Obama and this is my critical analysis of this political impressionist, who is the latest poster boy of American Democracy since Bill Clinton in the early 1990s. Barack Obama's political ambition is driven by sheer intellectual "grit and wit". I have separated the commonsense from the common nonsense, because of the ignorance and gullibility of most people who have joined the personality cult in millions. Hello! Let us separate the fantasy from the reality. Who is really Barack Obama? Senator Barack Obama is the Hawaiian born son of a black African student, Barack Obama,...

Hillary Clinton Raises $6 Million in 72 Hours

The Hillary Clinton Camp has raised $6 million in 72 hours for her presidential campaign to exceed the target of $3 million set after her superlative Super Tuesday victories in New York, New Jersey, California, Massachusetts and other states. She beat Barack Obama to the biggest prize of California and that provoked him to raise over $7 million to boost his presidential campaign in the quest for the presidential nomination of the Democratic Party. Barack Obama won more states, but Hillary Clinton won more votes and more delegates. She has won more votes than Barack Obama since she bounced back after losing the Iowa Caucuses to him by 8%. She defeated him in the New Hampshire Primary and Nevada Caucuses and she was the first choice of most voters in the No-Contest Democratic Primaries in Michigan and Florida. Barack Obama defeated her in the South Carolina Primary before the Super Tuesday Primaries and Caucuses in 22 states. The contest for the Democratic presidential nomination continu...

From the 6 p.m. ET hour of MSNBC's February 5 primary coverage: HOLT: With the field of Democratic candidates reduced to two, we asked primary voters, "Who would make the best commander in chief of the U.S. armed forces?" And here, it was Hillary Clinton who was the clear favorite. The first woman candidate with a serious shot at winning the presidency beat out her male rival -- look at these numbers -- 50 percent to 35 percent. Keep in mind, this at a time the nation is fighting on two fronts.

IOWA HAS DONE IT AGAIN!

Presidential front runners, Senators Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama IOWA HAS DONE IT AGAIN! Yes. Iowa has goofed again. The Iowa Caucuses have chosen two presidential candidates that even heaven knows will not win the nominations of their respective parties, because neither Barack Obama nor Mike Huckabee has what it takes to win the nominations and none of them will contest in the presidential election on November 4, 2008.. Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton is still the Democratic Presidential Candidate who will be the flag bearer of the Democratic Party on November 4, 2008.Senator Barack Obama and former Senator John Edwards would be swept away by the Tsunami Tuesday primaries on February 5, 2008. Super Tuesday typically represents a Presidential candidate's first test of national electabilityIn 1992, after losing earlier primaries, Democrat Bill Clinton emerged as a candidate "back from the dead" when he convincingly won a number of Southern primaries on Super Tuesday. ...
