This also proves I purchased a Boston Globe today (I would never lie to you).
As a side note, I will also say I again failed to visit the New York Times web site (I'd never buy another New York Times again).
:-)
Of course, the Times owns the Globe so it's all the same, isn't it?
Front-pager (never mind the guy winning)!
Couldn't the front-page lead be Obama ready to clinch nomination, not this?
"Clinton pledges contest is 'nowhere near over';Rivals may split primaries today"
"by Susan Milligan, Globe Staff | May 20, 2008
WASHINGTON - Hillary Clinton, having dramatically toned down her criticism of Barack Obama in recent days, issued a not-so-gentle warning to her surging opponent yesterday: The Democratic nomination is not yours yet.
Obama, steadily collecting party leaders' endorsements in the last two weeks, appears poised with a strong showing today in Oregon to reach a significant milestone on the path to the nomination - a majority of all delegates being awarded by voters in primaries and caucuses.
But Clinton, who ushered in her historic campaign 16 months ago on the slogan, "I'm in it to win it," insisted yesterday she was not planning on going anywhere until all the votes were counted in every state and territory.
"This is nowhere near over," the senator from New York said at a rally in Kentucky, where she is expected to win today.
Ya got TWO WEEKS, lady!!!!
"None of us is going to have the number of delegates we're going to need to get to the nomination, although I understand my opponent and his supporters are going to claim that."
With just five contests to go, it is mathematically impossible for Clinton to win enough delegates to secure the nomination, or even to pass Obama, who is within 17 of winning the majority of pledged delegates and 111 of clinching the nomination overall, according to the latest Associated Press tally.
But Clinton is still hoping that a stronger-than-expected showing in the remaining races - including today's primaries in Oregon and Kentucky, with a combined 103 pledged delegates up for grabs - will convince superdelegates that she would be the stronger nominee in November against Senator John McCain, the presumptive GOP nominee.
Ahem:
"Among all voters polled, Clinton led McCain 46 percent to 41 percent, with strong support from women and blacks. Obama led 48 percent to 37 percent with strong backing from independents and blacks."
Oh, WHO WOULD BE the BETTER CANDIDATE?!?
Obama by ELEVEN, Clinton by FIVE, huh?!
Obama's camp, meanwhile, has been confident in its progress but careful not to offend Clinton supporters, whose votes the Illinois senator will need to beat McCain in the general election.
"No one is taking a victory lap," Obama's campaign manager, David Axelrod, said yesterday.
Clinton has been campaigning hard in Kentucky, hoping to expand the lead she has enjoyed in polls there. Obama, meanwhile, spent yesterday in Montana, which on June 3 holds one of the last two primaries. His effort sent a strong signal that he is not taking the nomination for granted.
But Obama plans to hold a victory rally tonight in Iowa, designed as a bookend appearance to a campaign that took off after his January win in the Iowa caucuses.
"It's not over until it's over. But it's pretty much over," said Peter Fenn, a Democratic political consultant not associated with a presidential campaign. "Barring a whole set of wheels coming off the Obama bus, it appears he's going to cross the finish line."
Obama has recently avoided openly challenging Clinton's arguments that she is still in contention for the nomination. But he and McCain are already behaving as though they have started their general election fight.
The Republican, seizing on what he sees as one of Obama's biggest weaknesses, went after the freshman senator again yesterday for his stated willingness to meet with rogue world leaders, most notably Iran's president. Obama defended his emphasis on diplomacy, telling supporters over the weekend that Iran, Venezuela, and Cuba are "tiny" compared with the former Soviet Union - and "yet we were willing to talk to the Soviet Union at the time when they were saying, 'We're going to wipe you off the planet.' "
McCain blasted Obama for the remark, telling a restaurant industry group yesterday in Obama's hometown of Chicago that "such a statement betrays the depth of Senator Obama's inexperience and reckless judgment. Those are very serious deficiencies for an American president to possess."
Reckless, huh?
Well, WHO voted FOR this IRAQ DISASTER, 'eh, old man?
THAT'S RECKLESS!!!!!!!
"The threat the government of Iran poses is anything but tiny," McCain said, referring to Iran's alleged quest to develop a nuclear weapon and its hostility to Israel.
That's the real trick, isn't it? The servility to the Zionist program.
It's why the issue is even brought up; Iran is Israel's enemy, not America's!!!!
After praising Clinton for running a "magnificent race," Obama eagerly responded to McCain yesterday, telling a town hall meeting in Billings that the next US president should conduct "tough, disciplined, and direct diplomacy," as he said President Kennedy did with Cuba and President Reagan did with the former Soviet Union.
"Let me be absolutely clear: Iran is a grave threat," Obama said.
Oh, NO!!! Bush, Iraq!!!
But he added, "the Soviet Union had thousands of nuclear weapons, and Iran doesn't have a single one."
I'll bet Obama begins to drop in the polls for this remark no matter how true -- at least, that's what the Zionist-controlled polls will tell us.
They have got Hitlery within 4 in Oregon, and that is bullshit, my friends!
Obama also argued that the reason Iran is more powerful is the "Bush-McCain policy" of "endless war" in Iraq.
I notice Israel never enters the discussion, don't you? How have they fared?
After all, this is their plan!
"John McCain's using the same George Bush textbook that we've seen year after year after year. Anything other than continuing a war in Iraq . . . that has been called the greatest strategic blunder in recent American history, he calls naive. Anything but their failed cowboy diplomacy that's produced no results is called appeasement," Obama said.
Obama's foreign policy approach was praised yesterday by Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia, the Senate's most senior Democrat, who yesterday announced he would give his superdelegate vote to his younger colleague, calling Obama a "shining young statesman" who can extricate the country from Iraq. The endorsement by Byrd, a party stalwart and former member of the Ku Klux Klan, represents an important symbolic boost for a candidate trying to become the first African-American president.
Why mention the KKK reference like he's David Duke -- unless the (Zionist-controlled) MSM wants to taint the endorsement.
Because Byrd is scathing in his criticism of the invasion and occupation of Iraq?
Not like the AmeriKan MSM is ever biased or anything!!!
Clinton, with few options left to claim the nomination, repeated her assertion yesterday that she leads in the popular vote - a calculation only possible if Obama's victories in caucuses are discounted and if the votes are included from Florida and Michigan.
Translation: That look in Hitlery's eyes as she is far from over is INSANITY, readers!
A LYING, SELF-DELUSIONAL DENIAL of REALITY!!!!
The unrelenting crap coming from her camp is enough to convince me of the woman's unfitness for office!
Those states' delegates are currently disqualified because the states moved up their primaries in violation of Democratic National Committee rules. The DNC rules and bylaws committee is set to meet May 31 to discuss a resolution to the matter, but political observers think it is unlikely the party will allow the two states to trump the results of the other primaries and caucuses.
But while Clinton's go-for-broke strategy may be the only way she could wrest the nomination from Obama, she must be careful not to drag out the nomination fight, or risk alienating the Democratic establishment - including the superdelegates who will decide the nomination, said Stan Collender, managing director of Qorvis Communications, a public relations firm.
She doesn't give a damn about any of that.
It is obvious by now to anyone that all the Clinton's care is raw power -- and that they will do anything to get it!
Obama, too, must be careful not to claim the nomination before it is officially his, Collender said, or he may drive angry Clinton voters to McCain.
"The last thing either one of them wants is to be accused of bringing the ticket down," Collender said."
"Barack Obama is headed for a big win in Oregon"
"Survey USA: In Oregon Obama gets 54% of white vote, 68% of Latino and 62% of Asian vote"
"Overall leads Hillary 55-42"
And yet C(IA)NN is telling us Clinton is within 4!
Expecting another RIG JOB TONIGHT!!!
