Will Obama-Backing Unions Hammer Clinton for Penn?

Has anyone here read the "OBAMA LAUNDRY LIST OF LIES"?

Or "THE AUDACITY OF HYPOCRISY"?

Goolsbee is still on staff and head of economic policy!

Hoffa Jr is running around with Obama trying to get Union Support for Obam. Hoffa JR. just called out Obama and Goolsbee about the NAFTA gaffe. Wow that sure is some supporter Obama has!!!!!

Since Penn has merely been slapped on the wrist, still works for Clinton, still support the Columbian deal, I wonder if this will have an impact on Hillary's union support?

Just asking, but what powers that be completely closed down the reporting on the Colombia NAFTA Clinton deal? The entire Clinton campaign staff was part of the lobbying in support of the deal. Penn quits, people starting talking, Bush puts the deal on fast track for approval, story over! Talk about fish stinking up the place!

John, you wrote: "Same sex marriage is a State's Rights issue, but so should abortion..." Actually the former is not the case; and, I agree that the latter should be. The difference is marriage is generally considered to be a contract, and abortion is not. The significance in this difference is that Article IV, Sec. 1 of the U. S. Constitution requires that a contract that is legal in one state will be recognized as legal in every other state. So if the courts affirm that marriage is, in fact, a contract, then all states must recognize marriages that may be legally performed in only one or a handful of states.

lou: "the differential is >700,000 in Senator Obama's favor"

it's a lead of about 814,000 actually; check the numbers at realclearpolitics

Those who site the vote total separation at 1% are in error. This is only true when you count the FL & MI votes which are not valid under the DNC's rule and agreed to by all campaigns. Without those votes, the differential is >700,000 in Senator Obama's favor. Also, on this website, several causcus states turn-out is represented in terms of district delegates and not the number of voters who cast ballots. If you want to see an objective approach to the popular vote, go to realclearpolitics.com. I have tried many times to get ABC to at least report all the facts in their numbers but I guess the truth doesn't matter.

Jake
Why are you asking that Clinton completely get rid of Penn. While obama still has the guy on his team that actually went to Canada with the winkwink deal.Goolsbee.

HEADLINE: CLINTON LOSES PENN...

Hillary Clinton is finished. If the Mark Penn-Colombian Trade Meeting weren't enough of a WMD to sink her already leaking ship, the Glover Park Group connection with now campaign strategist Howard Wolfson and the Colombian government will end the disaster soon enough. The Unions will back Sen. Obama and the blue collar votes will follow...Thank God we won't have to listen to her idiotic logic any longer.

Wow!!! what is happening to the once perceived inevitable nominee, her campaign is getting worse, we can now mirror how she will handle the presidency if she will be the president. The Clinton campaign always put the blame to her Chief Strategist Mr. Penn but think of it, which of the two is at fault, the candidate Hillary or The Chief Strategy Penn, I think the former is the one who is at fault, maybe she is not the right candidate....what a campaign strategy turned into a tragedy.

Both Obama and Hillary are part of and support the DNC platform which quiet clearly supports gay marriage under their "equal rights" plank. They stand to lose far more votes by supporting that position than they might gain by opposing it as a substantial majority of Americans oppose same sex marriage. Same sex marriage is a State's Rights issue, but so should abortion be because the Bill of Rights does not expressly address the matter. A liberal Supreme Court took that issue away from the States just as they one day will with same sex marriage. Thus is the problem with liberal Justices.

@LOM
i guess 18-25?

if McCain picks Gov. Charlie Crist, of FLORIDA, this argument between Clinton supporters and Obama supporters is pointless because FLORIDIANS will vote for their hometown governor over a disenfranchiser!

all McCain would need to convince California(which Obama lost), Texas (which Obama lost), Ohio(which Obama lost), New York (which Obama lost), Michigan(which was disenfranchised by the DNC), and Pennsylvania (which is up in the air) to vote for him and he's the President.

Hillary voted against expanding Nafta to Peru. She walks the talk.

what is considered the "youth" vote anyhow?

If Obama is going win because of the youth vote, i hope my peers vote in record numbers in the general election!

WCM -- Are you actually trying to make an argument with reason and logic? I think TCG went to go work on his math homework.

Despite what the Obama campaign, the pundits and the biased MSM say, this election is pretty much 50/50 and that is without including MI and FL.

This Penn flap isn't going to hurt her campaign. She is on the record for being against trade with Colombia and the MSM and their ilk are going to spin it as damaging, when indeed it is not.

Maybe it was actually well-timed and strategic in nature. Right before the PA primary...get folks acutely aware of the true FACTS (not the MSM spin) and then go to the voting booths. Brilliant!

@ LOM

it's pure bs that the young vote for Obama.

it is 50/50.

i don't buy this HOPE/CHANGE/BELIEVE/PREACH message of his.

Words will not fix the economy and a speech made in 2002 will not end the war occurring 2008.
