• Clinton Survives Penn.; Obama Still Leads in Delegate Count

It was over 200 years ago that a group of patriots gathered in this city to do something that no one in the world believed they could do," Obama said. "After years of a government that didn't listen to them, or speak for them, or represent their hopes and their dreams, a few humble colonists came to Philadelphia to declare their independence from the tyranny of the British throne. Days added that many Pennsylvania residents told reporters they are angry about the current economic climate and impending recession, even though Obama has been criticized for comments he made saying small town Americans are "bitter" and "cling" to guns and religion. "The bulk of Pennsylvania is made up of small towns, and that's where the battle is being waged," Days said, adding, "He may do better in Penns...

• Democrats Favor Looking Beyond the Delegate Count

Nearly 90 percent of Democrats say the delegate count shouldn't be the deciding factor for superdelegates choosing the party's presidential nominee, a position Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton is arguing in her bid to overcome Sen. Barack Obama's lead. This was the finding in a Fox 5/The Washington Times/Rasmussen poll that showed only 13 percent of Democrats want superdelegates to choose the eventual candidate after the state nominating contests have left neither candidate with enough delegates to claim victory. When asked on what criteria superdelegates should base their decision, 36 percent of those polled said the popular vote; 27 percent said the candidate who would make the best president; 18 percent said the candidate who would be the strongest in the general election; and 6 percent w...

• Make Sure Everyone Is Counted

As a delegate to Florida's Complete Count Committee, I recognize the critical importance of an accurate Census count. Unfortunately, the Florida Legislature has appxopriated less than $3 million for the 2010 Sunshine Census Initiative. Other important matters are determined by the Census, including planning for schools, highways and other public services. States also rely on Census data for reapportionment and redistricting, particularly in the redesign of congressional and legislative district boundaries.

• The Clinton Firewall

Since at least the South Carolina primary, the Clinton campaign's message has been stripped of its poll-tested nuance and has become a crass drumbeat aimed at reminding voters that Obama is black. Whether it is former President Clinton likening Obama's campaign to Jesse Jackson's runs, Clinton aides telling the Associated Press that Obama is "the black candidate," or former vice presidential candidate Géraldine Ferraro claiming Obama's success is a product of his skin color, barely a week goes by without a white Clinton surrogate injecting race into the nominating contest. First and most obvious, she wants to win as many of the remaining states as possible to keep her tally of "pledged" delegates-delegates won in primaries and caucuses-as large as possible. In March, Politico.com correc...
