Navarrette: Would Obama-Clinton be a dream ticket or a disaster?

The agrument on whether Obama should choose Clinton as his running mate is written by Ruben Navarrette Jr. The argument is posted in the Austin American Statesman and the author is trying to tell Latinos to keep their minds open to voting for Obama if he chooses Clinton has his running mate. The author uses stastics on the percentage each canditate has for the Mexican race. The authors makes a poimt to say that McCain could very well have atleast 40 percent of the votes. Not Republican president has had 50percent throughout history but there have been presidents who have come close. The value that the author is trying to make is that in some elections Lationos are taken for granted by the Democrats and written off by the Republicans. So he is telling them to keep their minds open. This "<http://www.statesman.com/opinion/content/editorial/stories/06/06/0607navarrette_edit.html"> editorial has really good points on persuading the Lationos to keep and open minds and for Obama to do the same thing.

Analysis: Resolving Impasse on Fla., Mich. Delegates

In this article by Robert Smith and Ken Rubin talked about how Florida and Michigan broke The Rules and Bylaws of the committee of the Democratic National Committee. The committee is trying to decide whether or not to take half of their delegates. Both candidates Obama and Clinton say they would not campaign in those state as a consequence for violating the rules. Obama took one more step to penalize the state of Michigan. Since then the committee has changed their tone now the two states will not have any delegates. I believe that the article is worth reading because it was very informative about how the two states violated the Rules and Bylaws of the committee of the Democratic National Committee. It was also informative how the committee decided to handle the problem. NPR does a very good job at covering all of the aspects of what’s going on to solve the problem.
