I touched a little on Kennedy’s endorsement of the O-man earlier as well as noted that it was becoming a two-man race in Florida, but wanted to expand on it more in this post.
The LA Times takes a look at how the Super Tuesday states stack up for each candidate on the Democrat side, and calls the race “close” with Hillary having an edge. 1,700 delegates are in play for the Dems on Feb. 5th, with a total of 2,025 needed when all is said and done for the Democrat candidate to become the nominee.
Last Wednesday I blogged about Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson’s criticism of Bill Clinton’s behavior on the campaign trail, where Robinson suggested that the former prez was no longer acting like a statesman. It’s a suggestion that is also being made by Reuters and Newsweek, among other news outlets, in response to Bill Clinton’s taking an active role in his wife’s campaign to discredit Barack Obama, sometimes at the point of turning red-faced in anger in front of the camera.
Sorry – just realized I hadn’t started one of these in a few days. I’m taking it easy today, needing a day’s break from politics. Will be back in the a.m.
Democrats in SC will cast their vote today for the guy (or gal) they think should be their nominee for president. The polls opened at 7. Unlike like last Saturday’s Republican primary, Dem voters in SC won’t be experiencing any weather issues other than it being cold with a little bit of rain here and there. Keep that in mind when you start hearing turnout figures, which will probably be higher than they were last week. The turnout for the Republican primary was somewhere in the neighborhood of 20% compared to 26% in 2000.
