POTUS CANDIDATES UPDATE

4.07.2008


WRAL News Poll: Obama Has Double Digit Lead in N.C. :: WRAL.com "Democratic presidential contender Barack Obama has a commanding lead over Hillary Rodham Clinton in North Carolina, but he might face greater difficulties than she against likely Republican nominee John McCain in the general election."
----------------------
It's all tied at 45% in PA. American Research Group "Barack Obama leads Hillary Clinton 53% to 36% among men (46% of likely Democratic primary voters). Among women, Clinton leads 52% to 39%. Clinton leads 52% to 36% among white voters (80% of likely Democratic primary voters). Obama leads 89% to 9% among African American voters (16% of likely Democratic primary voters)."

More rumors that McCain is planning to pick Condi as his VP. I don't believe it for a second, because she has made it clear she doesn't want to do this. Second, with the country's opinion of the Bush administration where it is now, McCain would be better off not holding on to any of those relics.

And BTW, Oliver Stone has picked Thandie Newton to play Condi in his movie, "W." Uhm....okay. I get it. Because they look so much alike. Why would he pick someone so much younger with no possible resemblance? I assume since its Stone, he wanted to go the sexy route to further some illicit affair conspiracy type of thing. If so, I will watch it. If its going to be the truth, then I won't waste my time. Thandie Newton, Ioan Gruffudd cast in 'W'

After the whole Bosnia thing, you'd think Clinton would vet her stories better. This isn't her fault. She was told the story as opposed to mis-remembering it, but still doesn't look good. Ohio Hospital Contests a Story Clinton Tells - New York Times "“We implore the Clinton campaign to immediately desist from repeating this story,” said Rick Castrop, chief executive officer of the O’Bleness Health System. Linda M. Weiss, a spokeswoman for the not-for-profit hospital, said the Clinton campaign had never contacted the hospital to check the accuracy of the story, which Mrs. Clinton had first heard from a Meigs County, Ohio, sheriff’s deputy in late February."

Why is that the American people already know what Greenspan & Bernanke seem too timid to admit. Greenspan continues to say we need a negative in growth, not just a slowing or stall. He also endorsed John McCain for POTUS. More than 50 percent chance of U.S. recession: Greenspan - Yahoo! News

McCain says that despite all this escalating violence in Iraq, we are going in the right direction. McCain: Iraq no longer abyss of defeat - Yahoo! News "Disregarding a serious flare-up of violence, Republican presidential candidate John McCain says the United States is 'no longer staring into the abyss of defeat' in Iraq, opening a campaign week that will draw him and his Democratic opponents back to Washington to question commanding Gen. David Petraeus about the conduct of the unpopular war."

A lot of people in the Clinton camp are happy to hear this. They didn't like him before he became a pain in the neck for the campaign. Top Clinton Aide Leaving His Post Under Pressure - New York Times "Mark Penn, the pollster who has advised Bill and Hillary Clinton since 1996, stepped down under pressure on Sunday as the chief political strategist for Mrs. Clinton’s struggling presidential campaign after his private business arrangements again clashed with her campaign positions."
