Obama Catching Up Fast

Posted in News, Politics with tags , , , , , , , on May 1, 2008 by Rob

My View:

Clinton is behind in everything except superdelegates, yet that may change soon. Obama managed to claw away at her superdelegate lead. Barack is only down by 295. This means these Indiana and North Carolina are going to the make or break for Hillary and Obama. If Hillary wins then all the delegates need to rethink about her. If Hillary can pull off two victories, let alone one. Then she proves to the superdelegates that she has the ability to turn the tides.

On the other hand, if Obama is the victor. Then it is game over for Hillary. Then Obama is free to focus on building a larger support base for the general election to defeat McCain. That will be the major problem. Obama took a lot of hits during this Democratic nominee race, and a lot of dirt was dug up. I don’t need to go into detail, most of you have seen the news. That has caused Obama to become a polarized figure. It is going to take a lot of work to turn that image around. I know that Obama will not win the general election, just because of all the stuff that was brought to the light in the past couple of months. If he thinks the pounding he is receiving now is tough, wait until the whole force of Republican party is out to destroy him. Everything that Obama did wrong in his past will come to light, and I guarantee you that Reverend Wright issue will be brought up again, but with vengeance.

Don’t get me wrong, McCain will have his fair share of problems too. Just read my past posts. He will have problems trying to unite the Republican party. Most conservatives think McCain is too cozy with the liberal left. Not only that, McCain supported and developed many pro-democrat legalisation and bills, and at times McCain would be the only Republican that would support pro-democrat legalisation. McCain just doesn’t have any loyalty to his party. I don’t consider him a real Republican. Hell I should throw my vote away. I should vote for Ron Paul.

 

Mike Easley Endorses Hillary Clinton

NC Gov Endorses Hillary

My View:

Uh Oh! Mike Easley the Governor of North Carolina and a superdelegate has just endorsed Hillary Clinton. This could put a wrench into Obama’s campaign. Hillary is proving that she is a fighter and isn’t backing down. This upsets the Obama supporters, but their not too worried. Obama still has a 9 to 13 point lead. Hillary still has a lot of catching up to do. Hillary still has a superdelegate lead over Obama; however, she is way behind in delegate count and the popular vote.

This decision to support Hillary is going to put the whole race (if it isn’t already) on its head. Now as Hillary gains more supporters. She is slowly becoming the more powerful candidate. Here is why. Obama has boat loads of money to spend and a commanding lead in North Carolina, yet Hillary is got endorsed while he didn’t. That proves that even with tons of money. Obama can not achieve results; while Hillary is making results, and not to mention, a lot less mistakes. She hasn’t said anything, lately, that would damage her campaign. It is possible to bring up the Bosnia fiasco, but that doesn’t compare to Obama’s ‘bitter” comments or his pastor. It is hard to believe, but Hillary is truly a come back kid.If Hillary can carry the Big Mo to the 6th of May, she could win Indiana. I really do not see her taking North Carolina because that’s Obama territory, but eight days is long time in politics. A lot of things can be said, scandals seep out, and blunders can be made. Obama needs to tread carefully and try to smooth over his past comments and especially with Reverend Wright interview that was held today. Obama is slowly becoming a polarized figure in politics. This is hurting the guy. He has to show that he can connect with the simple folk that cling to guns and religion. If he doesn’t, we know Hillary will.
