Former Senate majority leader Thomas A. Daschle (S.D.), a co-chair of the Obama campaign, said Sen. Barack Obama does not have “any interest in being vice president,” because “he’s going to be our presidential nominee.”
Obama, sticking to his vow to be tougher on Sen. Hillary Clinton, sent out a memo sharply criticizing Clinton’s dirty tactics and accusing her campaign of attempting “to deceive the American people just so that they can win this election.”
In the memo titled “Doing Whatever It Takes to Win,” Clinton was accused of “tearing Barack Obama down” and said her campaign “should stop telling the American people things that they know aren’t true.”
Obama, who is leading Clinton by 140 pledged delegates, easily won the Wyoming caucus and is leading in the polls going into Mississippi’s primary tomorrow. He is expected to win most of the remaining caucuses and primaries except maybe Philadelphia where Clinton has a slight edge.
But Clinton may still pull a rabbit out of her hat if the superdelegates go against the will of the people and give her the nomination. Al Sharpton and others are ready to protest if that happens.
Daschle said it would be a “travesty” if Obama maintains his lead among pledged delegates but an advantage among superdelegates allows Clinton to win the nomination.
“I don’t see how we could possibly do anything other than respect the will of the people who have voted in caucus and primary states all over the country,” he said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “And what it would say to the world, to the country, that we’d overturn the verdict of those… elections would be a travesty for… the party and for the country.”
Hillary’s ugly a** face just makes me sick. I couldn’t believe when I read she was trying to offer Obama the #2 spot when he’s been kicking her a**. What a loser she is. Even seeing her campaigning she always just seemed like she was begging for people to vote for her. Her voice is all whiney and annoying.
The reason that Barack will probably win the nomination or even the presidential election is, because he’s the most attractive out of the bunch. We all know that the US is the the most superficial people on this earth. Do we honestly want to sit up and look at John and Hillary’s eroded faces for the next 4 years? Nope!
Hilary has a lot of nerve and the desperation shows. To offer a joint ticket is a slap in the face
and i was leaning towards hillary in the beginning…..
Hillary is a trip. America is buying what she is selling. Why else does she keep winning the big states? Now they are trying to find a way to get the Michigan and Florida delegates in. The states knew they would be penalized for having their primaries early and now someone has to pay for them to do it again. Hogwash. Let them sit out this time. They brought it on themselves. If they do have another election, I would expect Barack to lose at this point because he hasn’t won any big states outside of Illinois. And I pray he doesn’t seriously consider being a running mate for Hillary. She might change him into a regular old shady politician.
She is pathetic. She is not showing leadership!!!
I think you mean Pennsylvania not Philadelphia. Us Pittsburghers know the rest of the country think that Phily is the only city in the state that matters but Pittsburgh is rather large and has a very different demo than Phily. Any candidate that wants to win this state needs to take both major cities.
I’ve been trying to avoid any post with politics for a while.My dad was saying Hilary said something about the people in Mississippi and I know she may not win Mississipi at all.Yes bigger states have a better advantage, but smaller states matter just as much because they carry a large percentage of people.
And the woman sounds desperate ass hell.Eh, desperate people.

Yes, I meant Pennsylvania. Blogging ain’t easy.
Wow just when I thought she stooped low enough she gets even lower
Yeah that whole Clinton Obama ticket crap ticked me off too. Why would his name come second when you lost. Give me a break.
It’s a mental game she’s playing. Puts her name in the front of his name.
