Obama takes hit on economic policy

Obama takes hit on economic policy

"Obama's plan today is the most shameless piece of potential plagiarism
that I have ever seen," McCain economic advisor Kevin Hassett said. The Clinton
campaign helpfully e-mailed his comments to reporters.
"He basically took
Clinton's words and Clinton's policies and called them his own," Hassett said.
"If I were a professor I'd give him an F and try to get him kicked out of school
for something this terrible ... I remember Mrs. Clinton saying shared prosperity
and I remember the bill that she introduced in August for infrastructure. The
fact is these are things Obama has taken as his own without crediting the source
of the ideas which was Mrs. Clinton."
Clinton herself said, "A plan that
fails to provide universal health care, fails to address the housing crisis, and
fails to immediately start creating good paying jobs in America again will not
turn the economy around and provide the real relief that our people need. We
need real results not more rhetoric."

I cannot believe that Barack Obama would steal Hillary Clinton's words and ideas on policies. It is wrong to steal someone else's words, especially if they are running for the president of our country.

Can Hispanic Voters Save Clinton's Campaign?

Can Hispanic Voters Save Clinton's Campaign?

"I think it's going to be a lot fun campaigning there, lots of Mexican food
and you know good times," Clinton said of the Texas race, with 228 delegates at
stake.
A new study shows that Hispanics are not only the fastest growing
ethnic group in the country, but predicts that by 2050 whites will no longer be
in the majority in the United States.
The Texas showdown virtually gives
Hispanics, who make up 36 percent of the population, the chance to save
Clinton's campaign.

I think that the Hispanic population will save her campaign, because although hispanics are generally Republican I think that she can convince them that she is the better candidate.

Obama Camp Says Clinton Nomination "Highly Unlikely"

Obama Camp Says Clinton Nomination "Highly Unlikely"

ABC News reported on its website that the Clinton campaign in response "argued Obama won't have the support of enough delegates and superdelegates to sew up the nomination before the party's August convention either." The Hill reports the Clinton campaign "said Wednesday that voters in Ohio and Texas next month will help the New York senator close the delegate gap." The Hill adds, "Clinton should be within 25 delegates of Obama after March 4, the date of primaries in Ohio, Texas, Rhode Island and Vermont, said Guy Cecil, the campaign's political director, in a conference call with reporters. Obama's campaign has said that it now leads Clinton by 136 delegates, though news organizations said Obama's lead is as small as 25 delegates. That margin, Cecil said, is less than 1 percent of the total number of delegates that will have been committed after March 4."

This article is very true and talks about how Obama's campaign is now leading by 136 delegates over Clinton's campaign, although new's organizations say it is only 25 delegates. They say that to close to delegate gap Clinton needs to be within 25 delegates of Obama by March 4.

McCain Buffs Hawkish Image

McCain Buffs Hawkish Image

McCain, who enjoys a comfortable lead in Connecticut polls over Romney, said he
is running to defend America against "the transcendent challenge of Islamic
extremism."But he also focused on burnishing his credentials as a fiscal hawk,
decrying what he called $35 billion in pork-barrel spending signed into law over
the past two years by President Bush."I've got an old pen that Ronald Reagan
gave [me] years ago. I'm going to veto every pork-barrel bill that comes across
my desk," McCain said.

I agree with this article that McCain is focusing on his credentials extremely and is comfortable with his lead ahead of Romney. I think that he shouldn't get to confortable since Romney dropped out and doesn't really count anymore.

Romney paints himself as the real conservative in the GOP party

Romney paints himself as the real conservative in the GOP party

The former Massachusetts governor says hardcore Republicans are telling him they
don't want McCain, they want a conservative. Romney predicts that he and
McCain will divide the delegates in California. He says there is a "growing
crescendo of Republican conservatives" getting behind his candidacy. But he
acknowledges that "right now that hasn't entirely happened." He's in Nashville, Tennessee, campaigning in the crucial hours before tomorrow's big
day. From there, he's headed to Atlanta, and then flying to Long Beach,
California, for an evening rally. En route, he plans to hold a news conference
in Oklahoma City during a refueling stop.

I agree with this article that hardcore Republicans do not want McCain, because Romney is more conservative. Romney and McCain will divide the delegate in California, but since there is a growing amount of Republican Conservatives getting behind his candidacy, he will get more votes than McCain.

Huckabee hopes South will reinvigorate campaign

Huckabee hopes South will reinvigorate campaign

Huckabee, an ordained Baptist minister, had an appreciative audience on
Sunday and fed them a diet heavy on conservative staples: abolition of the
Internal Revenue Service, opposition to abortion and gay marriage, the need
for
American military might and an end to reliance on foreign oil.
He
received
ear-splitting applause when he said he would not let the needs of
the Wall
Street Republican trump those of the Wal-Mart Republican.
"I
think he's most
honest of the bunch and I like that his positions haven't
changed," Linda
Clarke, 46, said approvingly after the 20-minute speech.

I agree with this article that Huckabee is the most honest, but with his
positions the way they are he will not get enough votes to stay in the race.

Is Clinton's campaign beginning to falter?

Is Clinton's campaign beginning to falter?

The Clinton campaign was premised on the presumption of inevitability, that resistance was futile.

But Ms. Clinton might have inadvertently undermined her own strategy. Under attack from both the Obama and Edwards camps - the former accusing her of a lack of candour and conviction; the latter claiming she was part of the corrupt power structure in Washington - Ms. Clinton counterattacked, accusing Mr. Obama of producing a flawed health-care plan and of relentless ambition to be president.

But when it comes to ambition, Ms. Clinton is hardly one to talk. And her criticisms only made her appear vulnerable, undermining the inevitability factor.

In consequence, Ms. Clinton's support in those states holding early primaries, where voters are paying the most attention to the campaign, is on the wane.

I really dislike Hillary Clinton, because I believe she is a hypocrit and is not strong enough to bet put incharge of the political responsibilities of the United States. She has no ambition and wrongly accuses people to make herself look better. She needs to learn how to respect other people and gain some positivity and stop being so vulnerable.
