Hillary Clinton is slated to pick up two additional unpledged add-on delegates when the Democratic State Committee meets later this week to choose add-on and alternate delegates. Sources say that former Governors Brendan Byrne and Jim Florio will be chosen as the two add-on superdelegates. According to a Clinton press release, both endorsed Hillary Clinton last year. Clinton defeated Obama in the New Jersey primary by 54%-44%.

More slanted journalism from the "Fair & Balanced" network!!!

During MSNBC’s Hardball today on the campus of Villanova University, a questioner asked John McCain why Hillary Clinton recently took a shot of whiskey. Asking a slanted question worthy of Fox News, the student said, “Do you think she’s finally resorted to hitting the sauce just because of some unfavorable polling?”

Politico’s Jonathan Martin reports that the questioner was Peter Doocy, the son of Fox & Friends anchor Steve Doocy. Martin writes, “Peter Doocy…is a junior here and a spitting image of his father.” Spitting image in more ways than one it seems

New Strategy for Clinton

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dy.../04/15/AR2008041502664.html?hpid=opinionsbox1

By Douglas E. Schoen
Wednesday, April 16, 2008; Page A15

Hillary Clinton took an important step Monday toward winning the Democratic nomination by launching an ad targeting Barack Obama's recent comments about working-class voters clinging to "guns or religion." The ad is a marked change from her recent determination to use a positive message until the Democratic convention, but for Clinton to capture the nomination she needs to completely abandon her positive campaign and continue to hammer away at Obama.

Clinton has provided a compelling case for her candidacy thus far. After all, the superdelegates have the power to end the Democratic contest now and have chosen to wait. At the very least, Clinton has created enough doubts about Obama and his electability to have earned a chance to compete in the next handful of primaries. But Clinton will almost certainly lose the pledged delegate count and the popular vote. To capture the nomination despite these facts she must convince the superdelegates that she is the only candidate who can win against John McCain in November.

As the underdog, Clinton's positive message will not work unless she is able to undermine Obama's candidacy. The Illinois senator's success has been largely built upon his claims that he is a unifier who can work above partisan politics, that he will bring change to our government and that he will bring a new style of leadership to Washington. Without bringing a strong amount of skepticism to these claims, Clinton will not be able to make significant inroads in Obama's lead and cannot persuade the superdelegates to go against the will of the American people.

Clinton needs to argue that despite what Obama has said, he has done very little to actually promote and create bipartisan solutions in Washington and that he is, in fact, probably the Senate's most liberal member. She needs to argue that his values are out of step with voters, as evidenced by his recent comments about why people are religious or seek to own guns. She also must argue that because of Obama's lack of legislative accomplishments, he is ill-equipped to achieve what he sets out to do.

By making these arguments compellingly in public appearances, through television and radio advertisements, and direct mail, Clinton can take advantage of the clear majority of American voters who have already said that they wholeheartedly disagree with the views Obama expressed last week in San Francisco.

Although voters and the media look favorably upon a positive campaign message, and Clinton is acutely conscious that too much negativity and too many personal attacks will hurt her party in November, a positive message is simply not enough to alter the race at this point. It is too late for Clinton to wait for Obama to make another mistake. She must seize the opportunity that Obama's self-acknowledged mistakes last week presented to her campaign; it is almost certainly her last chance.

Douglas E. Schoen, a pollster, is the author of "Declaring Independence: The Beginning of the End of the Two-Party System." He was an adviser to President Bill Clinton from 1994 to 2000.

Right. I want to know what Obama has done in the Senate other than run for President. Clinton is the hardest working Senator out there. She has done some very good things for her constituents. Heck, upstate NY is voting for her. That's unheard of.

Hillary is very popular in NJ, because we have a very good seat to watch her accomplishments as Senator. I didn't like her at all until I got a chance to see her at work, now I would have no problem supporting her.

 

[kinntj]

Hillary ROCKS!!!!!!!!!

Woo Hoo! I love your enthusiasm and need people like you here!

I love how Clinton is doing. I agree with the one post with the bolded statement that she needs to keep pushing the issue of Obama not getting things done and not going to meetings of organizations he heads up. Really, how is he going to roll up his sleeves as POTUS, if he can't do it as a Senator. He just wants to climb too high, too fast without any proof he can do anything.

I thought she was an excellent First Lady - given all the crap she had to put up with - but I admired her even more as NY Senator - she has done a fantastic job.

It appears we got two delegates yesterday - only to lose a rock star:

The Boss backs Obama
Posted: 11:00 AM ET

Bruce Springsteen put his weight behind Obama Wednesday.

(CNN) — Rocker Bruce Springsteen has endorsed Barack Obama for president.

“At the moment, critics have tried to diminish Senator Obama through the exaggeration of certain of his comments and relationships,” said the New Jersey native, in a statement posted on his Web site Wednesday. “While these matters are worthy of some discussion, they have been ripped out of the context and fabric of the man's life and vision… Over here on E Street, we're proud to support Obama for President.”

In February, Springsteen had resisted making a choice between Obama and Hillary Clinton, telling USA Today that "there are two really good Democratic candidates for president. I admire and respect them both enough to wait and see what happens."

But he praised Obama, who cited Springsteen as the person he would most like to meet in an interview with People magazine.

"I always look at my work as trying to measure the distance between American promise and American reality," he told the paper. "And I think (Obama's) inspired a lot of people with that idea: How do you make that distance shorter? …”

Springsteen backed Sen. John Kerry's unsuccessful 2004 presidential bid.

I agree with both your comments. I much prefer a First Lady like Hillary who is outspoken and tried to do something with her position than these Stepford Wives like Laura Bush and Cindy McCain.

Agreed. This is how I see it. Laura Bush is afraid of saying anything for fear she will look smarter than her husband and poor Cindy is just afraid of her husband period.

Just to let you know that I know Bruce and he works volunteering with a friend of mine in NJ at the boys club....he is an elitist. I new him before he was a Rock Star. Saw him at the Stone Pony and became friends with him in the early 70's and he and his band went horse back riding with me and my friend.

His fame has gone to his head and he does feel he is above many. I guess if I was famous I might be an elitist also He must have felt insulted by the Hillary remarks because he also fits in that category and has been labeled as such from time and again.

However with that being said....I am sure that that is not the only reason that he went with him. He liked him in the first place. But funny after this comment he decides to come out for him....something he has been labeled being in the past.

But keep in mind...JMO.....I could be way off track.

Well we'll certainly get that with Bill won't we?

 

[punkin]

Heck, I'm an elitist, but I'm not running for president and so don't have to worry about insulting all the hicks there in Pennsylvania.

 

["Got Disney"]

No elitist here....I do not feel that I am entitled to anything not hard earned....and feel I am no better than anyone else...and I have lots of money that I share with others.

no offense meant to anyone that is....or chooses to be.

Here is what i posted on the Elitist thread.......


Growing up poor or with money does not an elitist make...ideas and ideology do. You can grow up with people with money and even hang with them yet still not feel like you are above and beyond others or feel entitlement just because you are blessed financially. You choose to group those ideas of others that are in a group whom think they are better because of many reasons or just because .

I am well off financially(I am not an elitist)( I graduated Collage with Honors, lowest grade in collage was a 98.6 so I am not stupid, i am not an elitist))(dropped out of school at age 15, got GED worked my way through collage) and grew up poor, however grew up in Rumson N.J in a very wealthy town. My friends were very rich...so was boyfriends. Some kids grew up thinking they were entitled...some did not...some grew up elites...some did not.....again it is a matter of ideas and ideology...

The meaning below is for some reading this to save them time looking it up in case they are not sure of the meaning. Not meant as an insult.


e·lit·ism or é·lit·ism //
<LI minmax_bound="true">The belief that certain persons or members of certain classes or groups deserve favored treatment by virtue of their perceived superiority, as in intellect, social status, or financial resources. <LI minmax_bound="true">
The sense of entitlement enjoyed by such a group or class.
Control, rule, or domination by such a group or class.

i·de·ol·o·gy // –noun, plural -gies. the body of doctrine, myth, belief, etc., that guides an individual, social movement, institution, class, or large group.

You dont post like you are an elitist I never got the impression that you felt you were better than any of us? or are you joking by your post...I'm soooooooo confused
