69 to -2
By Denis Campbell • Apr 9th, 2008 • Category: Lead Story
That’s the number of Super Delegates since February 5th that have declared for Sen. Obama vs. Sen. Clinton in the Democratic primary races. Margaret Campbell (no relation), a state legislator from Montana added yesterday to this growing group and trend. With Obama gaining about 1 Super Delgate per day and Mrs. Clinton losing ground, the “come from behind, I’m more electable” plan to lure prized deleates away from voting for Barack Obama grows slimmer.
Add the firing of chief strategist Mark Penn yesterday for doing what PR executives should not do, play both sides of any issue, the inability of her attempts to make Reverend Wright’s statements stick as belinging to Barack Obama and the most recent poll showing the two candidates dead even in a state Mrs. Clinton should win by 15-20 points… well, the fat lady isn’t singing yet but she is warming up in the wings.
This opera is, thankfully, nearly over.
Denis Campbell is a journalist, author and businessman.
From a farmhouse in South Wales overlooking the Irish Sea, he and his wife run Target Point Ltd, an EU-wide strategy firm working with global businesses across a dozen industries on clarifying and executing strategy and changing their culture and focus. As a businessman living in the EU for 10-years, writing was a passionate hobby. He began blogging in 2006 with a number of pieces examining the corrupt climate of deception in the billion dollar spiritual self-help industry and re-published collected business, political and lifestyle features published across the EU since 2001. It has since grown into The Vadimus Post, from the Latin Quo Vadimus – where are we headed? (…and do we know why?), a daily e-magazine for those wanting to dig deeper, learn more together and dialogue on the key issues of the day.
