Obama and Clinton to Campaign in Unity
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyUpdate: Further details on Hillary Clinton's first campaign appearance with Barack Obama were released today by the Obama campaign. Via email: FRIDAY: Senators Clinton and Obama to Campaign Together in Town of Unity, New Hampshire Candidates received 107 votes apiece in Granite State town CHICAGO, IL- Senator Hillary Clinton and Senator Barack Obama announced today that they will hold a "Unite for Change" Rally this Friday in Unity, New Hampshire. Both candidates received exactly 107 votes in the western New Hampshire town in the primary. That's a nice bit of symmetry there. This will be an ...
Obama and Clinton to Campaign Together
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyThe Obama campaign sent out the following press release this morning, via email: Chicago, IL – Senators Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton announced today that they will campaign together on Friday, June 27th. Further details to be announced soon. That's it, that's the whole thing. Remember, you heard it here first. Why the tease? That's not the usual MO. Does this portend, um, I don't know, a (echo-y voice) DREAM TICKET?!?!? Time will tell, but you can keep checking back here for details as they are released. At the very least, their first stump appearance together will give us some ...
Hillary/McCain Switchers: Political Chupacabras?
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyJohn Dickerson at Slate breaks down the myth, versus the reality, of the influence that embittered Hillary Clinton supporters will actually have in this election. He likens it to a "Snipe Hunt," but I thought "Chupacabra" sounded funnier, and those have actually been found. We're going on a snipe hunt. The quarry: women who supported Hillary and, now that she's lost, will leave the Democrats to vote for McCain. Unlike a true snipe hunt, where you never find your prey, these politically prized voters can be found. In fact, they seem to be everywhere. Hillary supporters leave angry e-mails in my ...
Obama's Choice Angers Clinton Supporters
By Caleb Howe - Politics DailyBarack Obama's selection of Solis Doyle to be Chief of Staff for whoever becomes the VP pick has some Clinton supporters, as Senator Obama might say, hysterical. Doyle is an extremely controversial figure in Clinton circles. Her departure from her role as campaign manager for Hillary was contentious, and Clinton insiders suspect her as a possible source for the recent, unfavorable Vanity Fair article about President Bill Clinton. Some loyalists think she is shopping a "McClellan" with various publishers. Some supporters are calling it a "slap in the face" or much, much worse. Conventional ...
Face Off: A Dream Ticket? Really?
By Coates Bateman - Politics DailyFace Off is back! Two of our writers will be posting separate pieces on a hot-button topic. You can check out both and then vote for the one that speaks to you and aligns with your views. Today the topic is the pros and cons of an Obama/Clinton ticket. Dreamy or nightmarish?Tommy Christopher writes:Should Barack Obama pick Hillary Clinton to be his vice president? Never has such an obvious answer been so hotly debated. The answer really only depends on one factor: How much does Barack Obama want to win by in November? Read more Mark Impomeni writes: The greatest danger that the Clintons pose ...
Camille Paglia's Dirty Talk About Clinton
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyAs the echoes of Hillary Clinton's concession die down somewhat, and turn into a low buzz about her chances of being named VP, Camille Paglia over at Salon throws an unusually wet blanket on the idea of a "Dream Ticket." Hillary for veep? Are you mad? What party nominee worth his salt would chain himself to a traveling circus like the Bill and Hillary Show? If the sulky bearded lady wasn't biting the new president's leg, the oafish carnival barker would be sending in the clowns to lure all the young ladies into back-of-the-tent sword-swallowing. It would be a seamy orgy of scheming and ...
Do Bears Campaign in the Woods?
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyShould Barack Obama pick Hillary Clinton to be his vice-president? Never has such an obvious answer been so hotly debated. The answer really only depends on one factor: How much does Barack Obama want to win by in November?There is very compelling evidence to suggest that Barack Obama would wipe the floor with John McCain if he named my dog his VP. Even at this early stage in the just-begun general election, Obama leads McCain nationally by a significant margin, and outpolls McCain on most key issues. Once the polls reflect Obama's shift to campaigning against McCain, I expect Obama's leads to ...
'Dream Ticket' Fantasy
By Mark Impomeni - Politics DailyIt's the question on every political pundit's mind: Should Barack Obama choose Hillary Clinton as his running mate on the Democratic ticket? Most of the arguments in favor hinge on Sen. Clinton's performance in swing states in this year's primary, her support among women voters, a key demographic for Democrats, and her nearly 18 million total votes received in the primary contests. But the answer to the Clinton question may come from Sen. Obama's general view of the Clintons, rather than from any reading of this year's primary results. Fundamentally, Sen. Obama must first decide which view of ...
Hillary Will Be 'Obama's Cheney'
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyI find your lack of faith...disturbing. – Tommy Christopher using hackneyed Darth Vader voiceFor months, I have been saying that the "Dream Ticket" is inevitable, but the Yeahbuts won't listen. "Yeah, but...okay, but..." Whether you think it's a good idea or not, or you think Barack and/or Hillary won't go for it, it doesn't matter. It is going to happen. There's no other play. If Obama passes up a sure win in November because Hillary was mean to him, or if she says no because she thinks she's already won by seating deceased delegates whose spirits have not "crossed over," they will both ...
Dream Team Announcement Saturday?
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyThis Saturday, Hillary Clinton is set to announce her concession from the Democratic Primary race, and her endorsement of Barack Obama. Could there be another surprise? The gaping hole in Barack Obama's schedule certainly makes room for an intriguing possibility. From The LA Times: After tending to one last bit of pressing business -- an unpublicized visit Thursday night with Hillary Clinton in Washington for a chat the entire political universe would have killed to overhear -- Barack Obama headed to his Chicago home for what his schedule listed as three days of downtime. I am definitely ...
