Obama Wins Mississippi
Barack Obama soundly defeated Hillary Clinton by 24 points in the Mississippi primary yesterday. With 99 percent of the precints reporting, Obama won 61 percent of the votes with Clinton obtaining only 37 percent.
Instead of the usual post-election rally speech, Obama did interviews with at least two cable networks. The video is his interview with Chris Matthews on MSNBC. It’s a tad different than what one normally expects with the candidate after a victory. Matthews spent very little time discussing the Mississippi win. Instead, he progressed to the next big state, Pennsylvania, asking Obama about his strategy and message for voters there (viz. how are you going to duke it out with Hillary the Prevaricator).
Matthews also brought up a report scheduled to be released today (Wed.) where hundres of thousands of documents (Pentagon I believe) were researched and there was not one single document tying al-Qaeda that attacked New York, Washington, and rural Pennsylvania on September 11, 2001.
Unfortunately the hoursis very late and I may not have that exactly correct. I will fine-tune it tomorrow if necessary, but for now, I must get some sleep.
I’m not sure what the big whoop is over the new evidence and report that al-Qaeda had no ties with Iraq in 2001. Uh, I think we already knew that. Tweety’s reasons for bringing that up may have been more related to the 15-round heavyweight fights Clinton and Obama are doing daily.
It’s a good interview, especially since Tweedy’s doing it. Not too much dribble this time. Give it a watch and I’ll be back to my normal alert self in a few hours.
