What to expect after Tuesday primary?(0)
First of all, if anyone out there is hoping for a conclusion, you better brace yourself. One thing for sure it won’t end with PA primary.
Why? Well, Clinton is going to win with a margin wide enough for her to stick around, but not wide enough for anything else. After the debacle, I mean, debate on Wednesday everyone was wondering about its effect on the poll numbers. The numbers in different polls range from 5 to 10 percent in favor of Clinton. That is better than most polls before the debate where Clinton was leading by 3 to 6 percentage points. That means Clinton will win, but not by a landslide she needs to catch up in delegate counts. Nationally, Obama is losing his lead for a while and Gallup Poll daily tracking on Sunday showed his lead reduced to 2 percent: 47 in favor against Clinton’s 45. This is a change from Saturday, when for the first time Clinton led Obama in the national poll since mid March: 46 in favor of Clinton versus 45 for Obama.
Obama on the other hand leads Clinton when it comes to money. Obama raised about $41 million in March and had $42.5 million available to spend at the start of April. In contrast, Clinton raised about $20 million in March, and had $8 million on hand.
Come Wednesday, Clinton would point to her narrow win and continue to bash Obama. A few Democrats will call her to quit without any success. The only way the Democratic primary would come to an end in PA if she loses big time. Even then she may not quit, but others will have the courage to talk some sense to her. But do not hold your breath.
Why is Hillary getting vast right wing support?(4)
We all know politics makes strange bed fellow, but who have thought Hillary would become the favorite of the man who fueled “vast right wing conspiracy” against Clintons. The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, owned by billionaire Richard Mellon Scaife, has endorsed Clinton on Sunday.
Yes, this is the same Scaife who spent $2.3 million to expose Bill Clinton’s sex life and financial improprieties including Bill’s request to the state troopers to get women, Paula Jones harassment, and Monica Lewinsky case. He also helped all sorts of conservative groups and publications that were interested in finding dirt on Bill Clinton. At that time, Clinton cried foul saying it was a “vast right-wing conspiracy.” Her words not ours. Now comes 2008 election and suddenly Clinton is friendly with the same right wing. Makes you wonder why? When most of the major papers in PA came in to support Obama, Clinton got nod from Scaife’s paper. And don’t forget Rush Limbaugh’s Operation Chaos in support of Hillary.
