Bill Clinton Explodes at WVA Voter

May 10, 2008 · 2 Comments

An avowed Obama supporter challenges Bill Clinton’s account of Hillary’s prior health care task force effort. Clearly the voter gets under Bill’s skin. The best line from Bill is “There’s nobody in America that has more credibility [than Hillary].” Really? Are you sure you want to challenge us to a debate on that question?

Obama: “McCain Has Lost His Bearings”

May 9, 2008 · No Comments

Obama said he’d be far less restrained against his Republican opponent than he has been in the Democratic nomination process. This excerpt from an interview on CNN today gives a taste, in which Obama responds to a cheap shot from McCain about Hamas.

Hillary Plays Race Card in 5/7 Interview

May 8, 2008 · 3 Comments

As the undeclared Superdelegates evaluate whether they should come out now or later, one thing they are weighing is whether the contest needs to finish soon to avoid further damage to the presumptive nominee, Obama.
