The Fall Continues — Another New PA Poll Shows Clinton Collapsing
411mania.com - Sugar Land,TX,USA
Barack Obama 45%,
Hillary Clinton 45. Last week, Clinton led 51% to 39%. That means that ARG has her falling six points and Obama moving up six points in ONE WEEK. The poll is also right in line with three other polls from last week that have the race as a virtual tie. Clinton led by 20+ points in PA just a few weeks ago and it now appears that lead is all but gone. As I stated last week, her collapse in the state is happening due to a few reasons, I suspect. One, the media is now reporting that Clinton has virtually no chance of winning, and that results in many of her supporters becoming demoralized and thus they begin to tell pollsters that they no longer plan to go and vote (and thus they are not factored in polls)….

Obama caught between pulpit and politics
The Christian Century - USA
When Senator Barack Obama faced the cameras in a nationally televised speech in mid-March, he was caught between his roles as politician and parishioner, orced to condemn his pastor’s words as he tried to advance his own campaign for president.

Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama nomination is superdelegate’s decision
Sun-Sentinel.com - Fort Lauderdale,FL,USA
Barack Obama does not want. So, why is that and what happens at the convention? Since the selection of a nominee was not decided through popular vote totals in primary elections, the official determination of a nominee must be decided at a brokered convention. The question of a nominee will be put to a vote of convention delegates. The successful candidate must receive at least 2,025 or a majority of the 4,048 delegates. Committed delegates number about 3,253 and there are 795 superdelegates. These committed delegates, also called pledged delegates, were established through primary elections and they are mandated to cast their votes in accord with the primaries, but only on the first ballot.

COLUMN: Obama will ruin the gains made in Iraq
InsideVandy - Nashville,TN,USA
trade this past winter, we forged right ahead into a brief political discussion — about what exactly a Barack Obama presidency would be like. My friend’s father mentioned the extended honeymoon period he imagines an Obama presidency would entail. Afterward, I realized that Obama, still self-righteously awash with his own 2002 forethought and surrounded by liberal supporters clamoring for an end to the Iraq War, would succeed in withdrawing the troops from Iraq.

What Obama’s race speech didn’t acknowledge
INTHEFRAY Magazine - Cambridge,MA,USA
Presidential candidate, Senator Barack Obama (D-IL) makes a stop at the Iowa Veterans Home in Marshalltown, Iowa. Those who personally witnessed Barack Philadelphia speech on race were riveted by what many consider to be an address of historic importance. Given the sobering nature of the moment, ovations from the Constitution Center audience were few and far between. However, at least one remark by Obama drew applause: It was his recalling of the well-worn saying that the “most segregated hour in American life occurs on Sunday morning.”

Robert Kennedy’s campaign organizer rallies crowd for Obama
Ball State Daily News - Muncie,IN,USA
FORT WAYNE - As each minute elapsed past 11 am, the chants and encouraging screams became louder from the restless audience waiting for Barack Obama to appear. Instead, an elderly man with balding, gray hair emerged from the curtain behind the stage and took the podium.
"Obviously, I’m sure you’re disappointed," the man said as he stood up straighter to address the crowd. "My name is Mike Riley, and 40 years ago I organized the event campaign in Indiana for
Robert Kennedy."
