Campaign Notes - Stephanopoulos Pushing the Clinton Spin, Again
Update: Stephanopoulos is holding a campaign event - 'townhall meeting' - for his former boss Hillary during his show on Sunday
Via MAL Contends
- On ABC's News's This Week with George Stephanopoulos, viewers were treated to a graphic comparing the two Democratic candidates' performance thus far in the primary.
Stephanopoulos, following the disingenuous Clinton spin that uses its logic of primary-election-state performance morphing into general-election state performance, displayed the electoral votes (general election) total of every primary state that the candidates have won.
Why are electoral votes important now? Does Stephanopoulos really believe performances in Democratic primary states are, even arguably, predictors of performance in general elections? If so, Bill Clinton would never have been president, because Clinton lost most of New England in the 1992 Democratic primary. The reason for displaying the graphic is clear.
Coming off his deplorable performance as a debate moderator, Stephanopoulos can be counted on to continue his preening for the Clinton campaign, buying every Clinton spin possible and framing the election for his old chums.
But gee maybe Stephanopoulos is right. And since John McCain won New York and California in the GOP primary, McCain can be counted on to win these states in the general election. But that really doesn't make any sense, does it?
- Just ran across this item below in Buzzflash linking to an ABC News item.
The Democratic National Committee's Rules and Bylaws Committee meets Saturday, May 31 in Washington, D.C., to consider whether DNC panel exceeded its authority when it stripped Florida and Michigan of all of its delegates for holding their primaries before Feb. 5th, 2008.
No word yet on the composition of the Committee or the deadlines and consequences of the Committee's deliberating. Will keep you posted.
Update: One take: Hillary Will Steal The Nomination on May 31 Owing to Composition of Committee

Gibson and Stephanopoulos Are Sad, Make Fox Look Substantive
Update II: An open letter to Charlie Gibson and George Stephanapoulos
Update: Charlie Gibson and George Stephanopoulos, turned in shoddy, despicable performances.
via MAL Contends
Tonight’s debate in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania featured two completely out-of-touch, inane elitists who would not know the concerns of the American people if they were paid—Charles Gibson and George Stephanopoulos.
Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama offered a civil and fine performance in contrast to the two moderators who served as a microcosm of what is wrong with presidential elections.
One would not realize that America faces a $3-trillion war based and run on lies, a $9-trillion projected debt, a corrupt government, and debt-ridden American families hanging on to or looking for decent jobs.
No what’s important, Gibson and Stephanopoulos assure us, are sniper controversies, the use of the word "bitter," what someone's pastor said, and what someone's neighbor did 40 years ago.
Hillary and Obama did well.
Gibson and Stephanopoulos are preening annoyances.
Can we have the election without them?

Just 39 Percent See Hillary as honest and trustworthy
Just 39 percent see Hillary Clinton as "honest and trustworthy" in a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.
I hope this is right, certainly fits in with the reaction among progressives to her despicable campaign.

Write Anne E. Kornblut and Jon Cohen:
PHILADELPHIA, April 15 -- Lost in the Hillary Rodham Clinton campaign's aggressive attacks on Barack Obama in recent days is a deep and enduring problem that threatens to undercut any inroads Clinton has made in her struggle to overtake him in the Democratic presidential race: She has lost trust among voters, a majority of whom now view her as dishonest. ...
Clinton is viewed as "honest and trustworthy" by just 39 percent of Americans, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll, compared with 52 percent in May 2006. Nearly six in 10 said in the new poll that she is not honest and trustworthy. And now, compared with Obama, Clinton has a deep trust deficit among Democrats, trailing him by 23 points as the more honest, an area on which she once led both Obama and John Edwards.
