Here are some of the hottest and most current stories on :
Will Carter and Gore end Clinton’s Campaign?
American Thinker - Bellevue,WA,USA
For weeks, Democrats have been trying to game out a scenario that would allow a graceful exit for Hillary Clinton without offending either the Clintons or her supporters.
The problem is extremely delicate. Polls show that up to 30% of Hillary supporters would vote for McCain if she fails in her bid for the nomination. That number will almost surely fall regardless of how Clinton gets out of the race but in order to avoid a disaster,
Back in Pa., Bill Clinton champions wife’s credentials
Philadelphia Inquirer - Philadelphia,PA,USA
Hillary Rodham Clinton is the best candidate to improve trade policy, and will help community college students pay for the rising cost of an education. The Clinton campaign got some bad news Sunday, though, when both The Morning Call of Allentown and the Times-Tribune of Scranton endorsed Hillary Clinton’s chief rival, Sen. Barack Obama. Hillary Clinton’s father grew up in Scranton and is buried there.

Clinton also addressed audiences at Oregon State University and Portland State University on Saturday. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are fighting it out in a marathon race for enough delegates to secure the Democratic presidential nomination. Although Clinton trails in the delegate count, neither she nor Obama appears likely to capture enough in the remaining 10 states and territories to win outright before the late-summer nominating convention.

But Hillary Clinton won’t tell it, either.

What’s more, our conversations with Democrats who speak to the Clintons make plain that their public comments are only the palest version of what they really believe: that if Obama is the nominee, a likely Democratic victory would turn to a near-certain defeat.
It’s the Economy Stupid . . . Until Nov. 5
Town Hall - Washington,DC,USA
I can still hear the James CarviIle orchestrated mantra of the Clinton campaign in 1992, drilling it into all our thick heads that the economy was the only issue that mattered that year. In his own, inimitable way, he summarized the three points of that campaign as being, “change vs. more of the same,” “The economy, stupid” and “Don’t forget health care.” It is refreshing to know that with all the hyperbole about change, that some things actually never do change . . . like Democrats and elections.
Clinton embarrasses Brown with praise for
Times Online - UK
Gordon Brown became an unintentional standard-bearer for pro-Tibet campaigners today after being wrongly praised by Hillary Clinton for boycotting the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics. The British media have treated the confirmation by No 10 yesterday of his plans not to attend the opening ceremony as an important foreign policy move, leading to reports around the world that he had snubbed China.
