A Three-Way Tussle

According to the latest Zogby Poll, the ongoing battle between Democrats Hillary Clinton and Barak Obama has lowered the popularily numbers of both and given Republican John McCain, perhaps temporarily. The Democratic candidates are struggling to gain every little advantage, through clver arguments about patriotism, as Bill Clinton did, or winning the electoral college, as Sen. Birch Bayh suggested on behalf of Hillary, or gaining an endorsement, as Obama did, of Bill Richardson. Meanwhile, John McCain has had an opportunity to visit Iraq and Israel.

What is your opinion of the Clinton-McCain-Obama contest?

A Super Struggle

The Clinton-Obama presidential primary battle still remains deadlocked with Obama holding a slim lead in both the popular vote and delegate count. While the Republican nominee John McCain is busy raising funds and visiting Iraq, the Democratic candidates are still campaigning, still throwing mud at each other and hoping that something will stick. They are also trying to woo the super delegates and weighing in on what to do about the discredited Florida and Michigan delegations. Looks like the two states will have to hold ‘re-do’ primaries sometime in June. For political junkies, it is great theater, but ordinary citizens are weary.

Clinton-Obama Ticket

In a highly strategic move to revive her candidacy, Hillary Clinton has introduced the idea of a Clinton-Obama ticket. Naturally, in her scenario, she would be the presidential candidate and Obama would be the supporting vice presidential mate. Bill Clinton has been even more vocal about the possibility. He has said it would be a “dream” ticket with Hillary drawing the older, working class Democrats and Obama would bring in the young people and the upper class voters.

Of course, Obama rejects the lopsided ticket. He says he has, thus far, won the popular vote and has more delegates.
