Ann Althouse–thank you!

I am grateful that you are attempting to document the “new” political process Obama has been preaching!
The Dem’s are crazy to pick Otrama over Hill/Bill… they are on a course to make America less than it should be, not more!
MSDNC carried 2 minutes of a great speech on the economy by Hill and opps! lost contact….

They’re not contacting delegates to try to get them to switch. They’re contacting Obama delegates to make sure they show up at the county convention. They’re contacting Obama alternate delegates to make sure they show up. Why would they do this? Because if an Obama delegate doesn’t show up, they replace them with an Obama alternate. If no Obama alternates show up, they replace them with whoever is available.

The same with Clinton delegates. If Clinton delegates don’t show up, and they don’t have alternates, an Obama delegate can take their place. Those the rules, and don’t think Clinton won’t try to take advantage of it.

This blog is becoming really pathetic in its attempts to conjure up conspiracy theories and completely biased non-news.

Obama has more dirty tricks up his sleeve in his short little political life. I can’t imagine what he has in store for us when he really has power!

I don’t trust anything if Obama is involved!

More trouble for Obama:

Poll: Clinton’s negatives reach new high
Posted: 02:28 PM ET
Clinton and Obama are tied in the latest poll.

(CNN) – The increasingly charged Democratic race for the White House appears to be hurting Hillary Clinton significantly more than Barack Obama, a just-released poll suggests.

According to a new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll, the New York senator’s personal approval rating has dropped markedly, and those that hold a negative view of her have reached 48 percent — the highest in that poll since March 2001. Just 37 percent now have a positive view of Clinton — down from 45 percent two weeks ago.

The new poll comes at the end of one of the most hostile months in the Democratic presidential primary race, during which surrogates for both campaigns resigned after uttering controversial statements, and controversy swirled around Obama over past statements by his former pastor, Jeremiah Wright.

But despite fears by some of Obama’s backers that the Wright controversy would take a toll on the Illinois senator and his presidential hopes, the new poll shows his approval rating has remained virtually unchanged at 49 percent. Only 32 percent of Americans give him a negative approval rating.

Meanwhile, in head-to-head matchups Clinton and Obama remain deadlocked for the nomination, each drawing 45 percent among Democratic voters. Both are also statistically tied with John McCain in matchups: Clinton is two points behind the Arizona senator while Obama is two points ahead — both within the poll’s margin of error of 4 percentage points.

Barack Obama, 49 percent

Hillary Rodham Clinton, 39 percent

OF INTEREST:

The two rivals’ standings in the Pew Research Center poll have changed little from late February, the latest indication that so far Obama has weathered the controversy over provocative sermons by his longtime pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright. While Obama has a mostly favorable image among white Democrats, those with unfavorable views about him are likelier to say equal rights for minorities have gone too far and to oppose interracial dating. Almost one in four white Democrats who view Obama unfavorably also think he is Muslim, when in fact he is Christian. Obama and Clinton both continue to hold slender leads nationally in matchups against the all-but-certain Republican candidate, John McCain.

The Pew poll was conducted March 19-22. It involved telephone interviews with 1,503 adults, including 618 Democratic and Democratic-leaning registered voters. The margin of sampling error was plus or minus 3 percentage points for all adults and 4.5 percentage points for Democratic voters.

This does not suprize me. An Obama supporter had me fill out a voter registration. They told me not to fill in the party affiliation. So just for fun i put in Republican. A few minutes later i asked for the registration. She crossed off Republican and put Democrat. Imagine how many times this has happened especailly to latinos.

Why didn’t the news report Obama’s association to Wright before IOWA. Action speak louder than words. Obama can’t just give a speech and expect his actions of associations with Wright are OK now. Now he is attacking the Italians. Who is next. Were they afraid of an Al Sharpton fire storm.

Now democrats have ruined it again. FLORIDA or Michagan will never vote for Obama

“It makes you feel justified in your own ignorance… That’s America.”

Michelle just can’t help herelf!

THIS SHOULD BE REPORTED. THAT CAMPAIGN HAS BEEN PULLING A LOT OF DIRTY TRICKS IN CAUCAUSES TOO.

Judicial Watch: Obama ‘intended to leave no paper trail’

The president of a prominent watchdog group said Wednesday that he believes Democratic presidential frontrunner Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) “intended to leave no paper trail” during his time in the Illinois Senate.

Judicial Watch, which has been seeking access to Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton’s (D-N.Y.) records from her time in the White House, argued Wednesday that the Illinois senator, who has criticized the former first lady for a lack of openness, has his own “records problem.”

“The more we learn about the Illinois Senator, the more obvious it becomes that he is anything but the ethically upright outsider he purports to be,” said Tom Fitton, the president of Judicial Watch.

The group rose to prominence when it repeatedly took on former President Bill Clinton during his time in office. It also sought records from the Bush administration regarding Vice President Dick Cheney’s energy task force.

In a statement, Fitton noted that his group has sought access to Obama’s records as a state senator and questioned whether the presidential candidate has been forthcoming with regard to what happened to those documents.

He said that “nobody knows where they are, if they exist at all” and claimed that “Obama’s story keeps changing.”

However, the Obama campaign said the senator’s records are available.

“All of Sen. Obama’s correspondence with state agencies and records of requests Obama made to them on behalf of his constituents are available to the public and have been accessed by our opponents and members of the news media,” said Obama spokesman Ben LaBolt. “Illinois State senators have limited staff – Obama did not have a scheduler – and so no detailed record exists of all of his daily activities in Springfield.”

Fitton argues that Obama’s public accounts of what happened to his records do not mesh with information from the Illinois Office of the Secretary of State. He added that the Judicial Watch investigation “suggests” that the senator could have had his records archived in a way that would grant the public access to them.

“It appears that Obama never kept records of his time in the Illinois state legislature, or he discarded them,” Fitton stated. “Either way, he clearly intended to leave no paper trail.”
