NATIONAL

Obama v. Clinton

SUMMARY
With the primary election coming up on Tuesday in Pennsylvania the tension is high between the two candidates. The way the two candidates act towards one another also makes it hard to tell how they truly feel about one another. Some of the time they talk smack behind each others back, but at the same time they are enthusiastic about what lies ahead in the future election, because they believe either one of them will be able to beat senator McCain. Even though they both believe that the Democratic Party has a hopeful future, neither of the senators will agree to running as a running mate for the candidate that wins the primary.

OPINION
I think it is a smart idea of both senators to not say at this time that they are willing to run for second best. If they did agree to this, it would make them look weaker. If they say they would still be willing to run with the other for vice president then people would vote for the one because they know they would be able to get both if they vote for the one that will only take the position as president. Personally I don’t think either of these candidates is great and I would not vote for either of them no matter who would be willing to run as vice president. I would vote for Mike Huckabee!!


NATIONAL

Obama on a role

SUMMARY
Obama’s wife Michelle gave a speech in Indiana to supporters to talk about all the hurdles they have had to over come on this campaign track. When they started out there was much doubt that he was going to be able to collect the funds and create the organization and wins the caucuses and delegates in the campaign process. Barrack never gave up hope and has pulled through all the challenges he has faced and even has some change to spare! Obama wants to go all the way and he has a wife that is right by his side to support him the whole way.

OPINION
Mrs. Obama is just about s good of a speaker as Barrack is. She is very eloquent and presents herself well. Who knows, in the next four years she could be running for president against Hilary. It is nice to see a candidate whose family supports them and is willing to give speeches for them on the campaign trail to get more votes and appeal to all types of people. This is the type of thing will get you more votes because voters like to see that their candidates are like them and can best represent their concerns and problems and make a difference.
