Both Clinton, Obama Claim Popular Lead Posted: 7 months ago by 1thirteen3
If numbers don't lie, the Democratic presidential race is proving they can confuse: Both campaigns claim they are ahead in the popular vote.

Why, ask many Democrats and media commentators, won’t Hillary Rodham Clinton see the long odds against her, put her own ambitions aside, and gracefully embrace Barack Obama as the inevitable Democratic nominee?

Obama, the Candidate of Shadows Posted: 7 months ago by 1thirteen3

Why can't Barack Obama close the deal? Posted: 7 months ago by 1thirteen3
It's a question Hillary Rodham Clinton and her surrogates raised through the last days of the caustic Pennsylvania primary contest. And unfortunately for Obama - who lost to the former first lady by a 10-point margin Tuesday night - it's a question that bears repeating.

Hillary Strangelove Posted: 7 months ago by DerAlt
AMERICANS have learned to take with a grain of salt much of the rhetoric in a campaign like the current Democratic donnybrook between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. Still, there are some red lines that should never be crossed. Clinton did so Tuesday morning, the day of the Pennsylvania primary, when she told ABC's "Good Morning America" that, if she were president, she would "totally obliterate" Iran if Iran attacked Israel.
