Republicans don’t want to face Obama

January 22, 2008 /

Byron York write in the National Review:

I went to Barack Obama’s rally here, on Sunday night, with a Republican friend who had never seen the Illinois senator in action before. Watching the crowd of more than 3,000 fill up the convention center, watching the people send up waves of energy to Obama, and watching him play off that energy in a speech that was one of the best political performances anyone has seen this year, my Republican friend said, simply, “Oh, s—t.” He recalled the scene from Jaws, in which the small seaside town’s sheriff realizes how big the shark he’s tracking truly is, and says, “We’re gonna need a bigger boat.” What my friend didn’t have to say was that he was deeply worried that Republicans just don’t have a bigger boat.

Jon Stewart mocks Bill Clinton

January 22, 2008 /

The media won’t do its job, so Jon Stewart is on the case.

After all the years of Bill Clinton’s bullshit, it’s amazing how the media drinks up everything he says without doing any real analysis or reporting. Their idea of analysis is to argue about how his statements affect the horse race, but they rarely do any real research to determine whether his allegations are true.

Calling Bill Richardson

January 19, 2008 /

It will be very interesting to see what Bill Richardson does now. Will he endorse either candidate?

Clinton beat Obama overwelmingly with the Latino vote. Obama needs to make inroads with this community to have a chance at the nomination. A Richardson endorsement would be huge for Obama, while a Richardson endorsement of Hillary would help her but would probably be seen a move prompted by loyalty.

NBC projects Hillary winner in Nevada

January 19, 2008 /

Another big win for Hillary. The odds against Obama keep getting bigger.

Edwards, on the other hand, got crushed with roughly 5%.

Expect Mike Bloomberg to get closer to a decision.

UPDATE: Looks like Obama won more delegates – 13-12.

So who won Nevada?

Also, Andrew has an update on Clinton dirty tricks. This is old-school, bare-knuckle politics. Obama’s supporters are doing the right thing in pointing this out because it fits Obama’s narrative that we need to move beyond this kind of dirty, polarized politics.
