Clinton Camp Brands Obama Debate-Dodger

 

Saturday, February 9, 2008

 

Democrat rivals Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama Friday girded for a new

round of nominating polls, scrambling for votes as President George W. Bush

warned of high stakes in the White House race.

 

Neck and neck after a slew of votes in major nominating states on Tuesday

failed to give either a strong edge, Clinton and Obama touted fundraising

successes ahead of further votes this weekend.

 

With veteran Arizona Senator McCain all but guaranteed to win the Republican

nomination after rival Mitt Romney quit on Thursday, pressure is on the

Democrats to unite behind one candidate to fight the November elections.

 

Bush tried to whip up Republican support for the party presidential ticket

likely to be headed by McCain, his one-time presidential rival, and cast the

election as a referendum on his own policies such as the Iraq war.

 

"Prosperity and peace are in the balance," Bush told supporters.

 

"So with confidence in our vision and faith in our values, let us go

forward, fight for victory, and keep the White House in 2008," he added.

 

Bush has not yet openly backed a candidate, but says he will get behind the

Republican party's choice.

 

Clinton's campaign said it had refilled its war chest with eight million

dollars in online donations and tens of thousands of new donors since

Tuesday's key nominating votes in more than 20 states.

 

"Senator Obama's online contributions accelerated rapidly in the last 30

days," Clinton's communications director Howard Wolfson told reporters. "We

have in the last several days considerably closed that gap."

 

Obama announced on Thursday he had raked in seven million dollars since

Tuesday, ahead of huge primary nominating votes set for March 4 in Texas and

Ohio and seven other nominating contests this weekend and Tuesday.

 

The former first lady was forced to lend five million dollars of her own

money to her campaign this week.

 

"There's no doubt that she has not generated the kind of grassroots

enthusiasm that we have," Obama told reporters Thursday. "And she's got a

former president (Bill Clinton) actively fundraising for her."

 

Clinton's camp acknowledged they had been unable to match Obama's

advertising in some upcoming states, which could play kingmaker in the tight

race.

 

"Senator Obama may well have some advantage, but the amount of monies that

the campaigns are going to spend on media will be roughly the same," Wolfson

said.

 

"I do not anticipate that he will have any significant advantage in the

March 4 states."

 

The 2008 White House race is already the costliest ever. The Center for

Responsive Politics research group estimates the candidates will raise a

billion dollars in 2008, a first for a presidential election.

 

And as the two chase support from the 2,025 delegates needed to secure the

nomination at the party's August convention, every remaining primary now

counts.

 

A tally by independent pollsters RealClearPolitics on Friday put Clinton

only marginally ahead in the delegate count, with 1,077 to Obama's 1,005.

More than 400 delegates are up for grabs in the seven upcoming votes.

 

Washington state and Louisiana vote on Saturday for both parties, while

Nebraska holds Democratic primaries and Kansas Republican caucuses. Maine

Democrats vote on Sunday, ahead of Tuesday when Virginia, Maryland and

Washington, DC hold Republican and Democratic primaries.

 

Clinton's camp accused Obama of shying away from debating her as the stakes

rose, after calling for weekly debates up to March 4.

 

"Senator Obama has refused to debate Senator Clinton on a weekly basis this

month, presumably because he is concerned that Senator Clinton is a better

debater than he is," Wolfson said.

 

Obama had said that his main focus was getting out and meeting the voters,

and agreed to join televised debates in Texas and Ohio.

 

Clinton's camp branded Obama not strong enough to fight an election against

the Republican front-runner.

 

"If you are unwilling to debate Senator Clinton, you're going to have

problems debating John McCain," Wolfson said.

Feminism is Jewish.

 

Gloria Steinem was a Jew. Bella Abzug was a Jew. Betty Friedan was

a Jew.

 

Friedan, as the writer of "The Feminen Mystique" and founder of

NOW, really

started the modern feminist movement.

 

"THE JEWISH 100: A Ranking Of the Most Influential Jews Of All Time"

By Michael Shaprio

 

# 56 Betty Friedan (b. 1921)

 

Born Betty Naomi Goldstein to Harry and Miriam (Horowitz) Goldstein in

Peoria, Illinois, educated at Smith College, married in 1947 to Carl

Friedan, the mother of three children, divorced in 1969, activist,

best-selling author, professor, a founder of the National Organization

for Women (NOW), the National Women's Political Caucus, and the First

Women's Bank, researcher, journalist, Democrat, clinical psychologist,

and grandmother, Betty Friedan was the most influential feminist of

the postwar era. Deemed by Marilyn French and others as an "initiator

of the 'second wave' of feminism, " Friedan's writings and lectures,

including the highly influential books THE FEMININE MYSTIQUE and THE

SECOND STAGE, synthesized women's views on what equality meant and how

to live and work... When the war against fascism ended two decades

later, four million women lost their jobs to returning GIs. Women were

again told that their place was in the home. The freedom to work to

build up and defend their nation was over. Men would earn the family's

bread. What the boys needed was a warm place to come home to every

night. Ironically, American soldiers had accepted some of the values

toward women (Kinder, Kuche, Kirche - children, kitchen, church) as

the Nazis they thought they had defeated...
