Hillary Clinton's campaign has an interesting new memo noting how Barack Obama is losing ground among key voting blocs, though the memo omits one key group, whites.
"In the last two weeks," the memo says, "Barack Obama has lost ground among men, women, Democrats, independents and Republicans - all of which point to a candidacy past its prime."
Among men, for example, the memo notes that Obama had won 68 percent in Virginia, 67 percent in Wisconsin, and 62 percent in Maryland, all a few weeks ago.
In a more recent contest, the memo says, Obama won 48 percent of men in Ohio. Notably, it did not comment on his standing among men in other later states. (For the record, he won 51 percent of the men in the Texas primary and 61 percent in Mississippi.)
Among independents, the memo states, Obama won 62 percent in Maryland, 64 percent in Wisconsin, and 69 percent in Virginia.
In more recent contests, his support among independents dropped to 49 percent in Texas and 53 percent in Mississippi.
The Clinton campaign noted similar drops among women, Democrats and Republicans in selected contests.
Without explanation, the Clinton campaign skipped Obama's lower support among whites.
For the record, Obama won 42 percent of the white vote in Maryland, and 52 percent in both Virginia and Wisconsin.
In more recent contests, his white support was 26 percent in Mississippi, 38 percent in Ohio and 44 percent in Texas.
Hillary and Bill Clinton have made a significant issue about how the press is treating Hillary unfairly in their hyper-critical reporting on her and their “softball” reporting on Barak Obama. Hillary maintains she has been fully investigated by the media and Barak hasn’t! As the Tony Rezko trial begins in Chicago, Clinton and her surrogates are linking Obama to Rezko and the media is speculating about whether Obama will be called to testify as a witness in the case. Obama has always admitted he received $85,000 in contributions from Rezko which Obama has now donated to charity rather than keep. Yet the civil fraud trial of Bill Clinton for defrauduing Hillary’s largest donor in 2000 into giving her campaign more than $1.2 million, pending in Los Angeles courts since 2003, is now preparing for a November, 2008 trial. The discovery that is now proceeding after a February 21 hearing, and the pending trial, have NEVER been announced by the mainstream media. Hillary was able to extricate herself as a co-defendant in the case in January, 2008 after years of appeals to be protected by the First Amendment from tort claims arising out of federal campaign solicitations she made. Her abuse of the intent of California’s anti-SLAPP law after the California Supreme Court refused to dismiss her from the case in 2004 is emblematic of her contempt for the Rule of Law. Hillary will be called as a witness in both discovery and the trial according to the trial court Judge who so-advised Hillary’s attorney David Kendall when he dismissed Hillary as a co-defendant in 2007. A subpoena is being prepared this month and will be served personally on Hillary, along with Chelsea, Pa Gov. Ed Rendell, Al Gore and other well known political and media figures. Yet the media has refused to report about this landmark civil fraud case- brought by Hillary’s biggest 2000 donor to her Senate race, regarding allegations that were corroborated by the Department of Justice in the criminal trial of Hillary’s finance director David Rosen in May, 2005. That indictment and trial was credited as resulting from the civil suit’s allegations by Peter Paul, the Hollywood dot com millionaire Bill Clinton convinced to donate more than $1.2 million (according to the DOJ prosecutors and the FBI) to Hillary’s Senate campaign as part of a post White House business deal with Bill. The media - except for World Net Daily- has also suspiciously refused to report on Hillary’s last FEC report regarding her 2000 Senate campaign, filed in January 30, 2006. In a secret settlement of an FEC complaint by the plaintiff in Paul v Clinton, Peter Paul, the FEC fined Hillary’s campaign $35,000 for hiding more than $720,000 in donations from Paul, and it required Hillary’s campaign to file a 4th amended FEC report. In that report Hillary and her campaign again hid Paul’s $1.2 million contribution to her campaign and falsely attributed $250,000 as being donated by Paul’s partner, Spider Man creator Stan Lee, who swore in a video taped deposition he never gave Hillary or her campaign any money. Lee did testify to trading $100,000 checks with Paul to make it appear he gave $100,000 to Hillary’s campaign (admission of a felony) but none of that has been reported by the “overly critical” media! Where is the outrage from Obama that the press is engaging in a double standard relating to his possible role in the Rezko trial and his refunding the $85,000 contributed to his campaign by Rezko- which Obama has always admitted taking. The media makes no mention of Hillary’s role as a witness in Bill’s fraud trial for defrauding Hillary’s largest donor- and Hillary’s refusal to refund the $1.2 million she illegally received from Paul, which she has denied taking from Paul ever since the Washington Post asked her about Paul and his felony convictions from the 1970’s before her first Senate election in 2000?

WHAT A STUPID, UNFAIR, AND ONE SIDED HEADLINE. HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN WHAT HILLARY DID JUST BEFORE THE OHIO, AND TEXAS PRIMARIES. SHE TIED TO PORTRAY HIM AS A LIAR INVOLVED WITH UNSAVORY PEOPLE JUST 24 HOURS BEFORE THE PRIMARIES. WHAT DO YOU EXPECT TO HAPPEN, WHEN SHE TARGETED AND TRIED TO PUT FEAR INTO THE HEARTS OF THE "ARCHIE BUNKER TYPES" WHO WOULD READ ALL KIND OF MESSAGES INTO HER NEGATIVE CAMPAIGN ADS AND OTHER LOW DOWN TACTICS? YOU HAVE STATED NOTHING THAT INTELLIGENT PEOPLE DIDN'T EXPECT TO HAPPEN. BUT I THINK THAT HE IS RECOVERING WELL FROM HER LOW DOWN TRICKS. SHE IS EXPOSING HER TRANSPERANCY BY HER ASSOCIATION WITH THE LIKES OF FERRARO, WHO BLUNTLY MADE THE REMARKS THAT HILLARY'S ADS WERE REALLY TRYING TO SAY.

OHIO AND TEXAS CLEARLY BELONGED TO OBAMA. HILLARY STOLE THE TWO STATES IN THE LAST MUINTE--24 HOURS BEFORE THE PRIMARY. A LOT OF PEOPLE MADE UP THEIR MINDS BASED ON THE LIES. I DO BELIEVE THAT OHIO AND TEXAS WENT TO OBAMA. FURTHERMORE, let people know or at least think about the possibility that all the evil stunts and statements from New Hamshire (about the two men and ironing shirts) to the latest statements by Farero may be actually Hillary's plots.
One of the worst mistakes America can make this time is to miss electing Obama President. This man is not black, he’s not white, he’s not green or yellow or whatever. HE IS A GODLY AND HUMBLY SENSITIVE AMERICAN whom God will work with to bless America again. Don’t be surprise that the fuel prices at the pump will soar DOWN to unbelievable price per gallon again, and OPEC will have little or nothing to do with it. God is God when He gets the right person in place. Hillary cannot do it. Obama has to also think doubly twice before choosing Hillary as VP. She might be a source of problems!!! God is setting up America to be healed through this man. I continue to see it this way.
Ohio and hundreds of thousands of voters in Texas have been duped into voting for Mrs. Clinton. Mrs. Clinton duped them with the lies and innuendos on NAFTA and the 3:00 a.m. call. But see--God exposed Clinton on NAFTA lies against Obama. Now it is discovered that she is the one communicating with the Canadian government that the promises she was giving on NAFTA are simply campaign related, designed to gain votes. Well she gained the votes and won. I strongly call on Ohio and Texas voters to chastise Clinton and to demand their votes back!!! This exposure on NAFTA will let you know about what she means when she talks about the 3:00 a.m. phone call. Hillary will not answer that call. If she does, she won't know what to do or she will most probably make the wrong decision, trying to do things just by herself without consultation or she will be worrying and bugged down with "guilts" about what she has done to people. Obama will make very good decisions, and he will make sure to get together with the right people to help him explore necessary alternatives and contingencies. Wake up America and stop being maneuvered by people like Hillary. As someone wrote in the internet, concerning Hillary’s stunt on NAFTA, “When people talk about Hillary's experience, it is this type of stunt they are referring to...i.e., political experience. She's good at the Dark Arts, but that's about it as far as her experience goes.”
Mr. Barack Obama is actually stronger in national security, economy, healthcare, and some of the other issues than either Hillary or McCain. America is at a stage in her life that she needs overhaul. The agent of that overhaul is Obama for such a time as this. His middle name does not matter. He did not give himself the name. He loves everyone, including Israel. What people do not know is that Obama attends one of the strictest Christian denominations that commit very seriously to serving Jesus Christ. Church of Christ is STRICT! A weak Christian cannot attend such a denomination. It is seriously Pentecostal. It is also becoming very clear that Hillary can do or say anything to win while Obama, on the other hand, being a strong Christian, simply does not want to attack Hillary negatively, although he and everyone else knows how to do it. right now, Hillary is striving to mess up the chances of the democratic party in the general election.
NOW Catch this: America cannot be resurrected into vitality and prosperity until significant number of her citizens become energized by the inspiration, wakening, and motivating spirit that God has embedded in Obama for the benefit of America AT THIS TIME. When people are aroused and awake again, then they can work hard and participate together toward believing and making everything work toward strengthening the economy, family, political system, national security, and building healthy and trusting relationships within America and between America and the rest of the world. That's NATIONAL SECURITY! THAT'S ECONOMIC STRENGTH! THAT'S PEOPLE TRUSTING AND BELIEVING IN AMERICA AGAIN! I am a Professof of Business Administration and strategic management for a long time. Obama is what America needs at this time. World leaders will actually respect him much more than others due to his humble spirit but also quiet inner strength! In fact, terrorists will think much-more than twice before they try to attack any American interests with Obama as President. they already have it in their heads that this man cannot play with them. Obama is more humble than Reagan, but he has a tough demeanor similar to Reagan (if not better) that outside world will fear and respect! He will not make many mistakes and he relatively will not waste resources as many American Presidents have done. He will appropriate resources wisely and monitor their use and who uses them, especially in relations to other nations. Many nations trick the United States into sending the dollars; but the dollars have usually been used to accomplish very little. Most dollars are wasted in highly corrupt foreign leaders who claim to be assisting their nations. Such leaders will find it difficult to try to play Obama. There is so much to write, but I will stop here! Feel free to get the Obama campaign to contact me. I will advise them on how to win the general election. Well, one more thing: I strongly advise the Obam campaign to run this ad nationally. I am writing it for them right now---
"..... Shouldn't the President be the one, the only one that is capable of uniting people and solve problems without letting any problem turn into crises? The inspiration, my ability to relate to people instead of using intimidation or fight-posture, and my ability to manage or analyze contingencies and draw necessary conclusions and judgments define domestic and national security for America. Such qualification leads to getting problems solved without heading into crises that will bruise and drain America and wound our economy and every other thing! That's REAL security! That's the REAL experience you need! That's Barack Obama! We don't have to use force when we don't have to use force! If experience leads to consistently bad judgments, then what is that experience? You be the judge! How can somone who does not mind duping Ohio and Texas into voting for her with lies on NAFTA be your President? How can Hillary Clinton be the President of this great nation if her experience is on lies, innuendos, and accusing Obama wrongly for what she herself is doing? She is both Ms and Mrs. Hood Wink Wink and double-talk! Make Hillary pay for Ohio and Texas! Run away from HILLARY! Leave her alone! She is TOO DESPERATE to be the President of this United States of America. Her mind won’t be steady at 3:00 a.m., worrying about all the negative campaigns. I will make the right judgment at 3:00 a.m. given the circumstances of the call! People’s lives are at stake; therefore no one can jump into quick and un-chewed decision without consulting the Presidential cabinet or even the congress or even the American people. Run away from misjudgment. [EVEN the '3 a.m. Ad' Girl Wants Obama to Answer Call. Girl featured in Hillary Clinton's ad actually supports Obama. ABC News - Sun Mar 9, 12:35 PM ET] Make me your President and let us deliver Change We Can Believe In. YES WE CAN!"
Dear America, let us open our eyes and see how God is fighting for this man, Mr. Obama, who is a serious Christian running to become our President. The cheep and deceiving Hillary’s campaign didn’t know that they were using a girl in a campaign who is actually campaigning for Obama right now. That’s how God fights for people who are humble and means well like Obama. That’s how God will fight for America when the right person becomes her commander in Chief. Just read the ABC News excerpt: ----["They were parodying this ad, kind of poking fun at it," Knowles said. "My brother was like, 'Is that Casey?' And we just erupted. Sure enough, it's me." The file footage was originally shot for a railroad company advertisement. The Clinton campaign bought it from Getty Images. Knowles, a senior at Bonney Lake High School who turns 18 next month, has been campaigning for Obama. She attended his rally at Seattle's KeyArena on Feb. 8. Her mother, Pam, told The News Tribune of Tacoma that Casey cried and trembled after shaking the candidate's hand. The next day, she was a Democratic precinct captain for the state's caucuses. If she plays her cards right, she could go to the national convention. Not to mention that she could be in another ad. After her identity became known, Obama's campaign contacted her. "I mentioned that we should make a counter ad, me and Obama, against Hillary," she said. "They thought that was really funny. They actually might take me up on it."
Now you make the judgment. This is Obama’s time for America. Vote for Obama to vote for America’a security, peace, economic prosperity, and political prosperity again!!!!!!!!!! Don’t let selfish and wicked politicians dupe your vote.

To Strongblood - you need to calm down a little bit. I appreciate your support and enthusiasm for Obama's candidacy, but you act like he's the "chosen one". Electing Obama is not going to solve all of America's problems.
You're right when you say, "Don't let selfish and wicked politicians dupe your vote." This is why I strongly urge you to research everything about Obama with an open mind.
If you still choose to support him - fine. That is your right to do so, but he's a typical politician to me. He will say whatever he needs to say to get elected.
