Spike Lee calls Clinton a liar
Thaindian.com - Bangkok,Bangkok,Thailand
New York, April 7 (IANS) Controversial African-American director Spike Lee is not voting for presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and has called her a liar. Pagesix.com reports him telling a magazine: “The Clinton’s (Bill and Hillary), man, they would lie on a stack of the Bibles. Snipers? That’s not misspeaking; that’s some pure bull (bleep). I voted for Clinton twice, but that’s over with.”
Rethink for Clinton after top strategist resigns
Guardian - UK
Hillary Clinton’s faltering presidential campaign will undergo a "mini-makeover" that will emphasize her more caring side following the departure of its main strategist, Mark Penn. Penn’s exit, announced on Sunday, follows clashes over his outside work for other clients - notably the government of Colombia - as well as screaming matches with senior campaign staff and withering criticism of his strategy.
Media are against Hillary Clinton
amNewYork - New York,USA
A few months back I said Hillary Clinton has changed her famous speech from a right-wing conspiracy to a left-wing conspiracy. I am no fan of Hillary, but I admit those remarks were pretty prophetic. Turn on the TV, open the paper, listen to the radio or log onto the Web and you’ll see the media blast against her along with a healthy array of fellow Democrats calling for her to resign or quit.
Hillary Clinton calls on Bush to boycott Olympic opening
Los Angeles Times - CA,USA
Hillary Clinton called on President Bush to boycott the opening of the Olympic games this summer in Beijing over the issue of, naturally, human rights. You know, Darfur, Tibet, that kind of thing that China has proven oblivious to. That’ll get at least your left and maybe the media talking about something else. "These events underscore why I believe the Bush administration has been wrong to downplay human rights in its policy towards China," Clinton said.
Why Clinton Must Stay In The Race
Huffington Post - New York,NY,USA
There is now no chance for Hillary Clinton to win the Democratic nomination. Even if she wins every remaining primary by a substantial margin, she will still lose the pledged delegate contest, and it is impossible to imagine that a supermajority of the superdelegates would destroy their own party in order to dominate her. Nevertheless, it is absolutely essential for Hillary Clinton to remain in this presidential race until she loses a major primary. This means that she should not withdraw from the race unless she loses in Pennsylvania, Indiana, or North Carolina.
Superdelegates give themselves wiggle room on Clinton-Obama
The Hill - Washington,DC,USA
“While I remain a strong Hillary Clinton supporter, I will cast my vote at the convention for the candidate that is chosen not through back-room deals, Rep. Lynn Woolsey (D-Calif.) recently put some wiggle room in her endorsement of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.), saying that if Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) wins the popular vote, she’ll cast her superdelegate vote for him.
