Morning Campaign Brew – Yet Another Super Tuesday
March 4th, 2008
Good morning Geeks and happy Super Tuesday, again, wait, what? Yes today contests are being held in Rhode Island, Vermont, Texas and Ohio.
- Ohio early voters flooded polling stations ahead of today’s vote. Meanwhile in reference to Clinton/Obama’s dueling 3 AM ads, John McCain said jumped on the news of yesterdays Russian presidential elections saying “These elections were clearly rigged, the opposition was repressed, and it’s unfortunate,”
- Senator Obama was on the defensive yesterday over news that a memo taken during a meeting between his advisor and the Canadian Embassy, contradicted the campaigns official stance on what was said during the gathering. The Canadian Embassy issued a release upholding the campaign’s version and downplaying the memo, but last night Obama seemed “heated” when discussing the subject with the press. This morning the New York Times has picked up on the story.
- In a new ad Clinton is attacking Obama over his chairmanship of a Senate Foreign Relations subcommittee.
- Rush Limbaugh urged Texas Republicans to vote for Hillary Clinton tomorrow. His reasoning? Clinton is the only candidate willing to hit Obama hard, he doesn’t have faith that McCain will do it, the longer she stays in the better chances his party will have at taking the WH.
- Politico Explores a tale of two daughters, Chelsea Clinton and Meghan McCain.
- The Wall Street Journal throws yet another obstacle in the way of the Democratic nomination. “Add-ons are unpledged delegates who are added on to each state’s allocation of superdelegates as a sort of convention party favor. There are 76 add-ons this year, or about as many delegates as those allotted to Idaho, Hawaii and Delaware combined.”
Where Are They?
Obama: San Antonio, TX
Clinton: Columbus, OH
Huckabee: Irving, TX
McCain: San Antonio, Houston, Dallas, TX
