State politics sometimes trump national politics in the choice of add-on. I know Nevada has a couple of congressional candidates (I think both are female) that they might be considering as add-ons to get them those 10 seconds of free airtime at the convention.tmess2https://www.blogger.com/profile/06331751179859344009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18747118.post-63440902584704833172008-05-17T23:33:00.000-04:002008-05-17T23:33:00.000-04:00It appears that not even Bill Clinton could sway t...It appears that not even Bill Clinton could sway things in Hillary's favor at the Nevada state convention...<BR/><BR/>http://ap.google.com/<BR/>article/<BR/>ALeqM5hY742M_s1ttD_ycf<BR/>2Zusn1o1fD3QD90NL1700Dan Wernerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05350022065383130551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18747118.post-16981977808626804962008-05-17T20:33:00.000-04:002008-05-17T20:33:00.000-04:00Reddwarf - differences in the pledged count have b...Reddwarf - differences in the pledged count have been explained in the comments on the Ultimate Tracker page.

You have part of the answer with the on going media count with CNN and MSNBC. But, no one claims to have the official numbers because there is no official count. It would be nice if everyone would agree on the total count for each and could publish them. And if not, publish how they differ as to why or by who with super-Ds. (I don't call them SD because of the state SD.)reddwarf2956https://www.blogger.com/profile/07518857335061738432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18747118.post-76791733141503989382008-05-17T18:27:00.000-04:002008-05-17T18:27:00.000-04:00Matt and Oreo must be asleep.

She realizes that she has next to no chance of winning anymore. So, she's taking this time to change her adversary rhetoric to one of party unity. While Clinton still insists that she is the better candidate, she also encourages her constituency to envision Obama as being better than McCain. <BR/><BR/>Also, Clinton now discourages the anti-American perception of Obama that she had encouraged during the Rev Wright scandal. She did this pretty clearly in her response to the Hamas association that Wolf Blitzer posed to her in her recent interview on CNN.<BR/><BR/>Ultimately, we want Clinton to stay in the race and to continue this healing process until her constituency supports Obama. Once Clinton drops out of the race, some of her disenfranchised supporters will turn off the TV. Whatever Clinton says after she drops out of the race won't reach the most disenfranchised of her supporters.<BR/><BR/>This also means that Obama has to woo working-class voters before Clinton drops out of the race.Gray Kane, Ph.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03441919375467263707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18747118.post-15537044018964855322008-05-17T16:35:00.000-04:002008-05-17T16:35:00.000-04:00It looks like some pro-Obama changes with PLEDGED ...It looks like some pro-Obama changes with PLEDGED delegates in Nevada this weekend.<BR/><BR/>http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/5/17/16724/0446/299/490922Bradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02164642233560235164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18747118.post-86057013433108514312008-05-17T11:53:00.000-04:002008-05-17T11:53:00.000-04:00Brick by little brick the house of the Clinton's ...Brick by little brick the house of the Clinton's is being brought down. I am sure that Hillary's only intention is to inflict as much damage she can on Obama so that she can make another run again in 2012. Just as she did not campaign for John Kerry in 2004. The world will be a better place when the Clinton's go back to their library in Arkansas and cloistered there.Kolsahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05881347632341680403noreply@blogger.com
