Campaign Updates
Hillary Clinton
Here's
the most important
thing you need to
know about this
race: it's
neck-and-neck.
Only 130 delegates
separate Hillary
from
Senator Obama
-- and that's not
counting
Florida and
Michigan. The
difference in
popular vote is less
than 1 percent, and
millions of voters
have yet to make
their voices heard.
This election should
be about their
choice.
But now we're
hearing people --
elected officials,
party members, and
Obama campaign
surrogates -- call
for Hillary to pull
out.
With the
race this close, it
sure doesn't make
sense to me that
she'd leave now --
does it make sense
to you?
There's no better
way to tell Hillary
that you support her
staying in than to
make a contribution
to her campaign --
and no better time
to contribute than
right now.
We're facing a big
deadline on Monday.
Our opponents and
the media will
scrutinize our
fundraising reports
and look for any
sign of weakness.
By making a
contribution today,
you can help make
sure we show nothing
but strength.
I know that Hillary
never forgets
exactly why she is
running. Her
commitment to the
people of this
country never
wavers.
At this critical
moment, all of us
supporting Hillary
must make sure we
are just as focused
as she is.
With all the talk of
the state of the
race, all the people
telling her she
should just give up,
you and I must make
sure she has
everything she needs
to stay in this
race.
With our big
fundraising deadline
coming up midnight
Monday, we need to
show the critics and
the doubters that
this campaign is
running full steam
ahead with the
determination to
win.
My family isn't big
on quitting.
Hillary's in this
race to win, and
she's in it thanks
to you.
Sincerely,
Bill Clinton

First Post-Primary
Election Ad
Today, the
campaign released
its first television
ad since
John McCain
became the
Republican Party's
presumptive nominee.
The ad, entitled
"624787," poses
important questions
to the American
people about what
values they want in
their next
president, and
highlights
John McCain's
experience,
character and
optimistic vision
for our future.
"624787" will run
statewide in the
important
battleground state
of New Mexico.
John McCain spoke to
the
World Affairs
Council in
Los Angeles,
California
this week about his
foreign policy
positions and how he
would lead as
president. He
articulated his
vision which centers
on building an
enduring peace based
on freedom that
would secure our
interests and those
of our allies, and
would make the world
safer and freer. He
made clear that he
is an idealist with
a deep understanding
of the world's
realities.
He also laid out his
vision of
collaborative
relations with our
allies in
Europe, Latin
America, Asia and
Africa that will
strengthen our
alliances and our
security. Such a
course would allow
us to better address
diverse global
challenges such as
climate change,
treatment of
terrorist detainees,
while enhancing the
use of "smart power"
to counter radical
Islamic extremism.

The Housing Crisis
John McCain
addressed the
Orange County
Hispanic Small
Business Roundtable
with some "straight
talk" about the
housing crisis and
the economic
situation facing our
country. He
discussed his
proposed principles
for addressing the
housing crisis in
the short-term as
well as in the
long-term to assure
it never happens
again.
He gave a clear
explanation of the
challenges facing
America's economy
and a lucid
explanation of how
we got here. He will
not play election
year politics with
the housing crisis;
he will evaluate
everything in terms
of whether it might
be harmful or
helpful to our
effort to deal with
the crisis we face
now and its
implications for
long term growth.
He made clear that
it is not the duty
of government to
bail out and reward
those who act
irresponsibly. He
called for several
specific steps to
strengthen the
foundations of the
millions of
businesses small and
large that provide
jobs for American
workers. These steps
would also
strengthen the U.S.
dollar and help to
control the rising
cost of living that
hurts our families.

RE: Voters and
Superdelegates
Rejecting Clinton's
Tactics
DA: March 28,
2008
Weeks ago, as
Senator Obama began
to build momentum in
the race for the
Democratic
nomination, the
Clinton campaign put
into motion their
"kitchen sink"
strategy--what one
Democratic official
called the "Tonya
Harding" strategy
[ABC, 3/25/08]: say
and do anything to
make Barack Obama an
unacceptable
candidate and win
over the remaining
superdelegates. But
as new polling and
news reports show,
voters and
superdelegates are
soundly rejecting
the Clintons'
tactics.
The Clintons have
made no secret of
the fact that they
relish negative
campaigning. Just
before the first
votes were cast in
this race, Senator
Clinton called
attacking Senator
Obama "the fun
part." Earlier this
week, during a
campaign stop in
West Virginia, Bill
Clinton signaled
that the attacks
won't be letting up
anytime soon:
"If a politician
doesn't wanna get
beat up, he
shouldn't run for
office. If a
football player
doesn't want to get
tackled or want the
risk of an
occasional clip he
shouldn't put the
pads on." [MSNBC,
3/2608]
There's just one
problem: the only
candidate paying a
price for Senator
Clinton's desperate
attacks is Senator
Clinton herself.
How are the
voters responding to
Clinton's tactics?
