  • Dems split on who should quit

    POSTED BY ALEXANDRA STEIGRAD, MARCH 26 2008 03:49 PM | PERMALINK

    From the Politico:

    A new Rasmussen poll shows that most Dems want the race to go on and are split on which candidate should withdraw, despite Obama’s nearly insurmountable lead in the popular vote and pledged delegates:
    Twenty-two percent (22 percent) of Democratic voters nationwide say that Hillary Clinton should drop out of the race for the Democratic presidential nomination. However, the latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that an identical number —22 percent — say that...

  • Obama diminishes Clinton’s first lady experience at his own peril

    POSTED BY ALEXANDRA STEIGRAD, MARCH 11 2008 02:43 PM | PERMALINK


    The Obama/Clinton campaign back and forth is getting heated, as the Obama camp released a memo calling into question Hillary Clinton’s experience.

    The memo reads:

    "When your entire campaign is based upon a claim of experience, it is important that you have evidence to support that claim. Hillary Clinton’s argument that she has passed 'the Commander- in-Chief test' is simply not supported by her record."

    The first half of that sounded a lot like Clinton’s line about how Obama’s candidacy is based...

    Coming off of a decisive victory in Ohio, Sen. Hillary Clinton approached the podium in Columbus, Ohio and was met by a roaring crowd, chanting: "Hillary! Hillary!" Clinton made her case, giving her supporters something we've heard a lot about: Hope.

    "For anyone who has been counted out but refused to be knocked out…this one is for you." Clinton continued: "You know what they say, as Ohio goes, so goes the nation. This nation is coming back and so is this campaign."

    The crowd errupted, in what has become...

  • Clinton Takes Ohio

    POSTED BY ALEXANDRA STEIGRAD, MARCH 04 2008 10:22 PM | PERMALINK

    The major networks just called the race for Sen. Hillary Clinton with a 16 percent margin. Heralded as a must-win and a Democratic bellweather state, she carried Ohio 57% to 41%, despite being outspent 3-1 by Obama. Clinton held her base of core Democratic voters, which is sure to raise questions on Obama's electability with rank and file Democrats. The final voting totals are still being tallied up, and the margin can still shift slightly.

     

     

  • Clinton's thematic argument

    POSTED BY ALEXANDRA STEIGRAD, MARCH 04 2008 03:27 PM | PERMALINK


    It’s down to the wire for Hillary Clinton. Or is it? Many, including her husband, said she has to win both Texas and Ohio, but it now seems that she’ll probably go on if she only carries Ohio. This morning, on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, Clinton advisor Terry Mcauliffe
    said his candidate will win Texas, Ohio and Rhode Island, and so far, according to today’s polls, it looks pretty good for her. The tides may be turning. But let’s back up for a minute. Journalists like Jonathan Alter are arguing that it’s...

    When Russerts Attack

    Your Daily Politics Video Blog: The standout performance of last night was Tim Russert's repeated tirades at the candidates for not answering his clownish questions.  So we thought we'd string all of Tim's gonzo moments into one tight reel.  Let's all repeat together, "I'm rough enough, I'm tough enough, and doggone it, people like me!"
