As Rivals Battle, McCain Builds November Machine

While I am loving Hillary and Obama ripping each other apart, I still have confidence McCain can still blow this election come November

McCain seems intent on not attacking his opponents, and determined to run a PC campaign


As Rivals Battle, McCain Builds November Machine

By Michael D. Shear and Dan Balz

Tuesday, April 1, 2008; Page A01

As his Democratic presidential rivals squabble, Sen. John McCain has moved to transform his ragtag primary campaign into a general-election operation by boosting fundraising, establishing control over the Republican National Committee, and beginning a conversation with voters who live in states where he has not campaigned.

One of McCain's first decisions has been to assemble a novel and risky campaign structure that will rely on 10 "regional managers" who will make daily decisions in the states under their direction, his advisers said. The managers will gather today in New Mexico to plot strategy with GOP state officials.

Some Republican strategists have said that McCain has not made the best use of the extra time that the prolonged Democratic nomination battle has given him. They have criticized the pace and direction of his decisions and have questioned why the senator from Arizona has not held more fundraisers to close the huge financial gap between him and his rivals.

Despite scheduling numerous events designed to grab attention, including a trip to meet with leaders in Iraq, Israel and Europe, McCain has struggled to be heard during the battle between Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama. The few times he has broken through have largely been because of questionable decisions or mistakes, such as when he confused Sunni and Shiite extremists and when he was criticized for accepting the endorsement of a controversial television evangelist.

I actually think this is good for McCain at the moment. I do believe however that the press has yet to unleash themselves on him. Maybe he is waiting? Last night on MSNBC(which I happened to flip across during a Fox commercial:wink2:) Dan Abrams called McCain "teflon John" because he said that mistakes like the one with Lieberman at his side were just bouncing off of him.


Seems like he is concentrating on looking patriotic and presidential right now,which I have to say is working a lot better than what Hillary and Obama are doing.

Gee, I thought Dems agreed with McCain, his McCain- Feingold bill would get the money out of politcs.

Or is this another example of McCain's bipartisanship? Republicans get screwed, while Dems do better?

everybody's playing by the same rules.... it just seems that democrats are much more willing to contribute to the campaigns of our two candidates in their efforts to unseat the moronic republicans from the white house... whereas the fatcat republicans are not that interested in John boy.

Most folks have to make choices where to spend money in a tight economy. Clearly, republicans have chosen to spend their money somewhere other than John McCain. Democrats realize that this is such a critical election, that they are foregoing other things to donate to campaigns.

Bodes poorly for John boy..... but who are YOU voting for this election?

If the PA primary is close, Hillary will celebrate for a week, then do the math, and figure out she has a much better chance at getting Harry Reid's job if she plays nice and folds her hand. She may even ask the senatorial superdelegates to promise her a senate leader vote in exchange for dropping out and endorsing Obama. Once PA is done, there isn't anything left on schedule that can give her the boost she needs, she isn't stupid.
OTOH, if she gets over 60% of the vote in PA, she still has a shot of going into the convention with momentum and maybe even the popular vote, not much of a shot, but she might see if she can pick up three or four in a row, and get a superdelegate boost.

Newsflash, neither Hillary or Obama will win enough delagates to lock up the nomination

This is going to Denver, unless the super delegates make their choice before all the votes are counted

Right now Clinton Inc is going after both pledged and super delegates. I do hope Denver is like Chicago 1968.

unless super delegates make their choice prior to the convention, or unless Hillary drops out prior to the convention, which she very well may do if she only marginally wins any of the upcoming primaries.... yours for instance.

And to hope for violence and civil unrest in this country simply for your own partisan gain shows just what a party over country fellow you REALLY are.

Why were super delegates even created? Because the party leaders do not trust Dem voters to make the correct choice

As far as another Chicago 1968 - that is how libs react when they don't the outcome of some things, or to get their message across. The Rodney King verdict, ELF, anti fur nuts, whenever a G-8 summit is taking place. The list goes on

Besides MFM if it does happen look how the Dems can use it. Reid and Pelosi can try to pass a $500 billion rebuilding plan (a great deal for a $250 billion project) insert a childs healthcare bill, a gas tax, more pork projects, and another surrener date in Iraq

That wopuld make your day

Things are not going well in Liberalville. DNC Chairmen Howie Dean McGovern is feeling the heat to stop the bleeding

Dean Facing Added Pressure to End Democratic Nomination Dispute

Democratic Party Chairman Howard Dean is under increasing pressure to bring an end to the contentious and drawn-out nomination battle, and some Democrats are questioning whether his modest approach so far has been effective.

With only eight state contests left to go and no candidate picked to challenge presumptive Republican nominee John McCain, several Democrats have called for Dean to step up his efforts to resolve the contest.

The prospect of a prolonged fight between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, they fear, will hurt the party’s chances of recapturing the White House come November.

Of chief concern among party members is the question of how to seat delegations from Michigan and Florida at this summer’s Democratic National Convention in Denver. Those delegates were stripped after the two states scheduled early primaries in violation of party rules. Clinton repeatedly said a week ago that she’s willing to take this issue to the convention if it’s not resolved.

At Democratic Party headquarters Wednesday, Dean made an effort to smooth things over with Florida Democrats. After a closed-door meeting with Florida’s party chairwoman Karen Thurman and members of the state’s congressional delegation, Dean announced: “We believe we will absolutely seat the delegation from Florida at the convention. That is in everybody’s best interest. All of us are committed to making sure that happens.”
