Obama’s Campaign Manager gives State of the Race

April 23rd, 2008 by Staff · No Comments

This morning the Obama campaign held a conference call with national campaign manager David Plouffe to discuss the results from last nights primary and the events for the rest of the primary season. Plouffe stated that the campaign is less than 300 delegates, meaning pledged delegates and super delegates, away from securing the nomination. The end of the primary season will be June 3rd and they expect that day to tell all. He went on to state that Obama has a 30-16 record in victories while showing a very calm and composed and very confident demeanor on an Obama victory.

The main part of the call was a review of the numbers in states. Plouffe went through their victories and did the math to show that Clinton would need overwhelming victories to secure a nomination. The call seemed like a reaffirmation of their place in the race and to display that there is no shakeup in their confidence.

Conference Call: Clinton Campaign Adamant about Including Florida, Michigan Voters

March 18th, 2008 by Staff · No Comments

Clinton Campaign Senior Advisor Harold Ickes and Deputy Communications Director Phil Singer discussed the importance of handling the Florida and Michigan delegate situations correctly in a conference call this afternoon.

The Clinton party alleged that their democratic rival, the Obama Campaign, has been “dragging their feet” about the potential of a rerun primary in both states. Ickes and Singer stressed the importance of including potential voters in all primaries, hoping that by doing so the Democratic Party as a whole will benefit from not losing unhappy potential supporters to Republican votes come November.

Ickes and Singer explained that Senator Obama has not been “forceful” enough in his support for rerun primaries. By doing so, the Clinton Campaign alleges that Obama is risking becoming an “accessory to disenfranchisement.” (43:44)

Obama Campaign Responds to Geraldine Ferraro in a Press Conference Call

March 11th, 2008 by Staff · 3 Comments

Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky hosted a press conference call to address recent comments made by Congresswoman Geraldine Ferraro (D-NY 9) that “If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position … And if he was a woman (of any color) he would not be in this position. He happens to be very lucky to be who he is. And the country is caught up in the concept.” Campaign representatives criticized the Clinton campaign for failing to distance itself from the comments and denounce such divisive sentiments. They claimed that campaign leadership comes from the very top, and hold Sen. Clinton responsible for accepting this kind of behavior asking “Is she serious about policing the tone of this campaign?” The whole affair was described as a continuation of the kind of detrimental “tear-each-other-down” politics against which they are striving, said Obama surrogates. Calls were also made for Ferraro to be censured and removed from her positions within the Clinton campaign.
