Hillary Clinton's 'Republican' tactics backfire in battle for Pennsylvania (U.S., 56 articles)
|
Taking a page out of presidential campaigns from years past, Obama embarked on a whistle stop tour today, campaigning by train across the southeastern part of the state. Leading in the popular vote, the number of states won and pledged delegates, Obama had hoped to wrap up the nomination earlier in the spring to begin the general election campaign against Republican Sen. John McCain. Asked a similar question about Clinton, Obama said "Absolutely and I have said so before" und a not-so-subtle dig at his rival who had previously declined to make a similar statement about him. Obama would slaughter McCain, say the pundits, who love citing the 1960 presidential campaign debates in which JFK faced off against Richard Nixon. USA TODAY WASHINGTON - Dozens of uncommitted superdelegates with sway over the Democratic presidential nomination say Pennsylvania's primary on Tuesday won't be the decisive factor in their choice between Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama. Media reports have said Clinton and her campaign have been quietly courting support, chiefly from Democratic superdelegates who could decide a close race at the party's convention, by arguing that Obama is not electable.

|
Zimbabwe s election officials, at the government's behest, began a partial recount on Saturday of disputed election results, while a human rights group accused members of the ruling party of running "torture camps" to punish opposition supporters. The country has yet to publish the results of its presidential election on 29 March, which the MDC opposition says was won outright by its candidate Morgan Tsvangirai. President Robert G. Mugabe devoted his first major speech since the unresolved election three weeks ago to denouncing whites and former colonial ruler Britain, an attempt to persuade Zimbabweans that their political and economic troubles stem from abroad.
