By the time the campaign tracked down the small-city Indiana mayor, Bill Clinton was in a lather. Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton had lost the North Carolina primary that evening and was eager to offset it with a win in Indiana. But a vote-counting delay in one county threatened to rob her of a prime-time victory speech. The Clinton campaign called a supporter for help. "I've got an angry president...
Why do so few people vote? Is this because people don't take personal responsibility? Or is this because of how our elections are structured? One clear cut example of how to remove barriers to participation was in North Carolina's primary just a few weeks ago From a recent Demos study: North Carolina's new "Same Day Registration" (SDR) law allowed 22,293 new voters to participate in the state's high-turnout,...
Then he would have issued his endorsement of Barack Obama last week, in advance of the North Carolina primary. After all, North Carolina is Edwards's home state. Everyone knew that Obama was going to win it--the only question was whether Hillary Clinton might have made it close. Edwards ran virtually no risk whatsoever endorsing the candidate favored to win in North Carolina, who coincidentally happened...
Whilst reading the breaking news that John Edwards finally endorse Barack Obama (AFTER the North Carolina primary), I have to say I was more than a bit surprised to read this: Democrat John Edwards is endorsing former rival Barack Obama,...
A few weeks ago, before the North Carolina primary, Jonathan Martin noted the counties in Appalachia that had voted in the Democratic primaries, and Hillary Clinton's unusually strong performance in these counties as compared to Barack Obama. Since then, we’ve seen additional evidence that this is a specific region that has overwhelmingly preferred Clinton to [...]
That's the title of an op-ed I wrote, published May 11, 2008 in the News and Observer, partially in reaction to David Broder's arrogant column, "Two Weeks of Trivia," writing off the importance of the North Carolina primary and claiming, without doing his homework or voter analysis, that NC is so solidly in the Republican camp that there's no way Obama can win it. I pointed out counties like Chatham...
This from the Federalist Patriot: In his victory speech after the North Carolina primary, Sen. Barack Obama…[defended] his stated intent to meet with America’s enemies without preconditions…: ‘I trust the American people to understand that it is not weakness, but wisdom to talk not just to our friends, but to our enemies, like Roosevelt did, and [...]
Clinton holds narrow Indiana lead, vows to keep going Barack Obama swept to victory in the North Carolina primary Tuesday night and declared he was closing in on the Democratic presidential nomination.
Had John Edwards endorsed Obama prior to the North Carolina primary he could at least pretend he is still politically relevant by claiming that his endorsement gave Obama a big win there. It's obviously too late now for his endorsement to really matter- and I think he knows that. Still- that didn't stop him from going on [...]
I'm really not surprised by this.What is interesting, is that it was the South Carolina Primary that pushed the Obama campaign into high gear, and it was the North Carolina Primary that helped seal his possession of the Democratic Presidential nomination.Now Obama's attention is turning toward John McCain, who has already been fundraising and campaigning for the Presidency for weeks.Hillary Clinton...
So, now what? Myanmar is looking worse by the minute. Jenna Bush is proving that neither she nor daddy are elitists in her designer wedding dress. Most of the show, I discuss the North Carolina primary and where the Democratic race goes from here. Fun show. Enjoy.
Lost Remote highlights another very effective use of Twitter: WCNC just used Twitter to cover the North Carolina primary. “It was incredibly successful,” says WCNC's Kayla Castille, who said reporters and anchors “really got into it.” Of course, Twitter has been gaining popularity in media circles, from the New York...
(Washington, D.C.) On CNN's 'Situation Room', in his first interview after a major victory over Senator Hillary Clinton in the North Carolina primary, Senator Barack Obama has begun what many political analysts have cal...
After Sen. Barack Obama won handily in North Carolina's primary and rival Sen. Hillary Clinton scored a narrow victory in Indiana, many pundits called for Clinton to exit the race and bring the Democratic battle to a close. Mark Shields and David Brooks analyze the state of the race and the rest of the week's news.
