KEY BLOCK----- *Main Topics*: Democratic Convention, Hillary Supporters *Summary of Shift: *With the Democratic Convention upon us most of the political coverage was based on the upcoming speeches. Michelle Obama sounding too strong was a hot topic as well as Joe Biden's track record and polling data. Angry Hillary supporters picketing the convention sparked numerous discussions over the legitimacy of Obama's candidacy and whether Hillary would have been a better choice. A split and angry democratic base was a major theme in all convention coverage. In other news tropical storms approach the Caribbean and may threaten many southern states. Gas prices continue to drop but home foreclosures are on the rise. Highlights: 1. MSNBC: Nicolle Wallace attacks Obama's VP choice and tries to rally angry Hillary supporters 2. FNC: Fiorina discusses why Hillary supporters may back McCain 3. CNN: McCain steps back as DNC takes place, and is endorsed by Daddy Yankee Highlights, No Clips: 1. FNC: CARLY FIORINA: "They do not believe that Barack Obama is ready to lead in these challenging times. And they do believe that John McCain has a track record of integrity, independence, judgment, and experience that makes him ready to be the president of the United States." 2. FNC: DADDY YANKEE: "Down here, endorsing Senator McCain. Cause I believe in his ideals, his proposal to lead this nation. Like I said before, he's been a fighter for the Hispanic community. And I know that me personally, I'd choose him as the best candidate. Cause he's been a fighter for the immigration issue." 3. CNN: CAROL COSTELLO: "McCain has just announced his wife, Cindy, is heading to Georgia to assess the civilian casualties caused by the Russian invasion. He made the announcement at a fundraiser in Sacramento. Mrs. McCain is traveling with the UN's World Food program who's work she monitored in SE Asia and Africa this Spring and Summer." Clips: Highlight #1 *Nicolle Wallace Attacks Obama's VP Choice and Tries to Rally Angry Hillary Supporters *(MSNBC 08/25/08 01:24pm) BRIAN WILLIAMS: […] Nicole Wallace sat down next to me and said we are not obsessed with Hillary Clinton, but now you can understand why, there is another ad out showing in effect are you Hillary supporters really happy with Obama? Come our way, come on over. Do you really think, as a proud Republican, that ranks wont close? That people, given the alternative, won't, I mean the democrats are counting on them falling together in the end. NICOLLE WALLACE: Sure. Well look it's not an obsession, it's a strategy for victory. And we plan to fight and fight hard for people that had thought that Hillary was the most qualified, the most experienced candidate for commander in chief. We're hoping that perhaps we'd be their second choice. I think the selection of Joe Biden was a good one but it's an admonition. He may as well put a neon sign over his head that says not ready. Not ready to lead. SO I think we see an opening there. And I think it's very likely that they'll come together this week here, but the fight is happening in places like Ohio, and Pennsylvania, and Michigan, and other parts of this great state, so we are going to fight hard for her supporters, and really for all votes. WILLIAMS: How does the selection, […] of Joe Biden change, and I can't wait to hear if you admit one inch of change, change the McCain's selection process? WALLACE: It may be like a kaleidoscope that shakes a little bit, puts this race into a different light. You know, I don't think so, I think you know John McCain well enough to know that he is someone that knows his mind, and he is still thinking through his selection. I think that you have to ask the question though, if Senator Obama were still ahead 15 points is this who he would have picked. Would he have so easily conceded that he lacked the experience and the judgment and the wisdom to take on that incredible grave responsibility of commander in chief without someone like Joe Biden on the ticket? If the question was experience, why not Hillary? WILLIAMS: You realize now that if John McCain selects someone with strong economic credentials, any number of the skill sets that he lacks, and we all lack them, the same thing is going to be said. WALLACE: Well look I think that the difference there is Barack Obama […] has been hope change and he picked the insiders insider. We said all along that we were going to put our country first. […] If he picks someone with particular strengths on the economy than that is in the best interest for the country. […] HIGHLIGHT #2 *Fiorina discusses Why Hillary Supporters May Back McCain* (FNC 08/25/08 4:14pm) CARLY FIORINA: We have been warmly welcomed here in Denver. I've been talking to democrats for many months. I've been meeting with democratic delegates here. *We had a press conference this morning with a number of democrats who have chosen to join citizens for McCain. * And come out publicly and say, you know what, the party doesn't own my vote. So we've had a very interesting time here. NEIL CAVUTO: You've been trying to stir the pot a little bit, right? FIORIANA: You know, it doesn't take that much stirring when a bunch of democrats believe that Barack Obama does not have the judgment or experience to lead; when they believe that Hillary Clinton was a better qualified candidate. Now they look at John McCain and say he has judgment, he has experience, he has character that we can trust. […] CAVUTO: Is that why we're 45/45 in the latest polls? An economy that you said in the past, would seem to work against the republicans? It isn't hurting them[…] FIORINA: First of all, Americans are hurting. I totally agree with your last guess. The economy is in difficult straits. And Americans are sitting around the kitchen table wondering if they're going to keep their job, wondering how they're going to pay their grocery bills. […] FIORINA: I guess what I would say is I think what it indicates is that John McCain has been out talking with the American people for many months now. He first introduced a comprehensive economic plan to get Americans back to work on April 15th. And he's been talking about it ever since. And I think people understand he has a plan to get the economy going again. And I think at a very basic level most human being understand, you know, times are tough. Don't take more money out of my pocket. CAVUTO: […] You rose like a rocket in this campaign, Carly. And I'm […] *wondering what that says about the interests of John McCain, whether he's going to reach out to more corporate types like yourself, in an administration, or what?* FIORINA: I think John McCain has said publicly, on many occasions, that he will reach out to everyone to serve his administration. *He's absolutely talked about bringing private enterprise to his administration. * But I also think it says about him that he looks for opinions from all kinds of people. It's one of his great strengths. HIGHLIGHT #3 *McCain Steps Back as DNC Takes Place, and is Endorsed by Daddy Yankee* (CNN 08/25/08 12:28pm) ED HENRY: What's interesting is John McCain is trying to stay in the news, but not really with any heavy lifting. […] A little earlier, though, he came here first in Phoenix to the high school his wife attended; to get an endorsement from Daddy Yankee, a Latin recording star. […] But originally this was supposed to be a press conference. Instead, there were no questions allowed from the press. Instead, it was just this endorsement rolled out. And some very brief comments from Senator McCain. And when he did speak, he focused on the positive about the democratic convention. JOHN MCCAIN: This is a very tough presidential campaign we're in. I have very honorable opponent and one who will receive the nomination of his party this week in Denver. And I look forward to the last couple of months' campaign with him. There are stark differences between us, but I think all of you can be proud that this country will go through an experience and the most fundamental part of democracy. ED HENRY: He's leaving a much tougher tone to his television ads. He's got a new one out this morning, titled 'Deborah'. It's about a Clinton delegate named Deborah from Wisconsin who says that she's so disenchanted now that she's going to vote for John McCain instead of Barack Obama. *Obviously what McCain is trying to do is drive the wedge even deeper between the Clinton and Obama camps, and try to develop these McCain democrats; just like the old Reagan democrats by really trying to open this wound.* --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the "big campaign" group.
