Michelle Vetoes Hillary
By Robert Novak
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Close-in supporters of Sen. Barack Obama's presidential campaign are convinced he never will offer the vice presidential nomination to Sen. Hillary Clinton for one overriding reason: Michelle Obama.

The Democratic front-runner's wife did not comment on other rival candidates for the party's nomination, but she has been sniping at Clinton since last summer. According to Obama sources, those public utterances do not reveal the extent of her hostility.

Paul Still Running
Not only has Rep. Ron Paul's ongoing presidential candidacy continued to record a substantial vote against John McCain in primary elections, but Paul advocates also forced an unprepared Nevada Republican Party establishment to abruptly adjourn last month's state convention in Reno selecting delegates to the national convention. The meeting has not yet been reconvened.

With a majority at the state convention supporting Paul, several national convention delegates pledged to the insurgent candidate were ready to be elected. State Sen. Bob Beers, the state convention chairman, abruptly adjourned the session. He later explained, "We were overtime on our contract for our convention space" and "were paying our stagehands and audio-video technicians overtime."

A footnote: Paul has made clear on several occasions there is no chance that he ever will endorse McCain for president.



I think the first of Novak's tidbits are not good for Democrats in the fall. The second is a good thing. Failing to get Paul's endorsement takes a lot of the air out of McCain's pretense of being a "maverick" and "independent". But this is coming from Novakula - not exactly the most reliable of sources...

2. yep it is Bob Novak, but I hope he's right

There are much better tickets to go with than Obama/Clinton - and Ron Paul didn't support Bush last time either.

4. Novakula Plays A Reporter

He's always been a black-op for the GOOP spin machine and still is. Most of his "inside sources" are either in his head or from inside the RNC or some other GOOP think tank that, if there's any shread of truth, has arrived second or third hand. Just look at his "reporting" in Plamegate to see his modus operendi. He's a master of the art of getting the rumor out in front of the truth as the rumor will circle the globe before the truth gets its pants on...and by the time anyone dares to check where the rumor began, Novakula is onto his next slime.

Michelle Obama will be demonized in the election as the "new Hillary"...the overbearing and "pushy" wife...the alter-ego to the angelic Cyndy McCain. They pulled this shit not just on Hillary Clinton starting in '92...and helped created the image she still fights today, but also Tipper Gore and Teresa Heinz-Kerry. It's the attempt to demasculate the candidate by attempting to portray they're not in command.

No shit that Paul won't support Gramps...I'd love to see him endorse Bob Barr. The Paulbots are a real hidden problem inside the GOOP and under the corporate media radar. They haven't gone away and are demanding that Paul get a prime time speaking slot at their whorefest in the twin cities. If he doesn't, we could see Rushbo's operation Chaos on the streets of St. Paul.

Novakula provides tidbits that are fodder on hate radio. Watch these talking points get hashed and rehashed...the marching orders have been given. Then Novakula goes out for drinks with his good buddy Charlie Black and comes up with the next "whisper" campaign.
