Obama campaign urges Clinton to concede

Filed Under Politics | Posted By Jennifer Sullivan | Leave a Comment

Barack Obama achieves 10 straight victories in the contest for the Democratic nomination after wins in Wisconsin and Hawaii.Today urged Hillary Clinton to bow to the inevitable and accept defeat.The Clinton campaign keeps saying the race is essentially tied. That’s just lunacy.

The argument from the Obama camp appears designed to paint Clinton as a nuisance candidate — much like Mike Huckabee.

Clinton,now focus on tomorrow night’s Democratic debate , Texas and on gaining traction for her argument that she is the best candidate in a time of deepening economic woes, campaign officials admitted in their own conference call with reporters.

The down-to-earth message was geared at voters in the ailing industrial state of Ohio where Clinton — more than ever — needs to win by commanding margins if she is to have a chance of a comeback.

The results from Wisconsin indicated, Clinton is being deserted by even her most ardent supporters: the working class voters she had been banking on in Ohio and even middle-aged white women.

The Clinton campaign also appears to have miscalculated with a last-minute burst of negative advertisements in Wisconsin. The Clinton campaign had accused Obama of distorted his speeches from the Democratic governor of Massachusetts, Deval Patrick. But it cannot convience the voters.

Her campaign officials claimed today that they lacked the resources to really fight for Wisconsin . She sent out an email to supporters today urging them to help keep her competitive in the coming contests in Ohio and Texas.

Obama took 58% of the vote in Wisconsin against 41% for Clinton. He did even better in Hawaii, the state where he was born, carrying 76% of the vote.

With the voting over in all but 14 states, that leaves Clinton relatively few occasions to try to make a comeback.

Obama likeability cannot preserve his halo

Filed Under Politics | Posted By Jennifer Sullivan | Leave a Comment

Despite being the most likable contender, Obama loses his halo. More than twice as many individuals consider Mr. Obama “the most likable” as compared to Hillary Clinton, according to the polling reports of Washington times/Fox5/Rasmussen. For the extremely significant April 22 primary, Denver and the Democratic National Convention starting in Aug 25, we have to uphold on the way to Pennsylvania the typical collection of clichés. The reason for this is that these are usually correct.

 

An ancient English philosopher has said that “every time a public opinion becomes almost unanimous it’s almost always wrong.” The political gurus and correspondents are silent over Obama’s loss of his halo. In the beginning, Clinton was the inevitable winner. The rules of the party were written to assure this. Barrack Obama gave his best shot and ran until he became unstoppable. This is an unexplored territory and everyone was thinking whether it would be great grandfather’s convention or the once unfeasible chance of a caucus determining something important perturbs the chiefs, treating Indians merely as props at a coronation ceremony

 

The outcome of the primaries of Texas and Ohio has perturbed the storyline. However, the older women of America have offered another storyline, who turned out in huge numbers in favour of Hillary. For them, Hillary is not just the first female president, but a way to seek vengeance for Monica. They can relate with the wifely pain of the new president. While Barack Obama stands for the latest things, which culture can chase and admire at the cost of the true, the tired and the unappreciated.

 

Just like life, politics is also uncertain. Hillary has come as, “the Comeback kid” to win the Democratic nomination and thus presidency in the wake of distress and disappointment.
