Chelsea Clinton gives her Mom a Mother’s Day present (sadly, she’s not a Superdelegate): a message about what a devoted mother she is. She asks us all to sign her card.
Sound bite: “I want to wish every mother out there a happy Mother’s Day. And remember your little girls can be anything they want to be in America when they grow up. Even if it’s to be the second woman President.” (Or maybe vice president….)
At a town meeting in West Virginia, the former president takes issue with a heckler who said Hillary didn’t do anything about healthcare when she was first lady.
Howard Wolfson, Hillary Clinton’s communications director, explains how his candidate can win the Democratic nomination. Something about counting the Florida and Michigan primaries and convincing super-delegates of Clinton’s electability vs. (by implication) Obama’s unelectabilty. Well, that’s their story and they’re stickin’ to it.
California super-delegate Steven Ybarra says $20 million buys his vote. He says he wants a promise from either candidate to spend that money registering Mexican-Americans voters.
Soon after the North Carolina and Indiana results were final, the mainstream media declared the Democratic race over. Fat chance. The smart money says Hillary plans to keep running even after Obama is inaugurated.
After his big win in North Carolina, Barack Obama shifts into general election mode, reaching out to the voters who haven’t been voting for him. (And, by the way, Barack LOVES America.)
Hillary Clinton squeaked by in Indiana and says “It’s full-speed on to the White House!” Shot and a beer, please and hold the gas tax.
Evan Engel of CurrentTV decides to ask the candidates what they would decide at 3 a.m. but, of course, the only candidate who’ll talk to him is Mike Gravel. But then Gravel gets pissy about the question.
And then Gravel gets tech support. Who hasn’t done that for Dad?
Despite all the talk about the never-ending campaign, a recent Gallup poll (May 1-3) shows that 60% of Democratic voters think the candidates should keep on, keepin’ on. Not surprisingly, Clinton supporters feel more strongly about the subject than Obama supporters.
