Castro's tip: Clinton-Obama the winning ticket
Wed Aug 29, 2007 2:06AM EDT


HAVANA (Reuters) - Ailing Cuban leader Fidel Castro is tipping Democratic candidates Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama to team up and win the U.S. presidential election.

Clinton leads Obama in the race to be the Democratic nominee for the November 2008 election, and Castro said they would make a winning combination.

"The word today is that an apparently unbeatable ticket could be Hillary for president and Obama as her running mate," he wrote in an editorial column on U.S. presidents published on Tuesday by Cuba's Communist Party newspaper, Granma.

Days after rumors of his death swept the internet, Fidel Castro mused about the U.S. presidential election in an editorial published yesterday in the Communist Party newspaper Granma.

Castro wrote that there is "talk of a seemingly invincible ticket" pairing Democratic Sens. Hillary Clinton of New York and Barack Obama of Illinois. And he said candidates "are now immersed in the Florida adventure," a reference to the battle for votes in a state that is home to hundreds of thousands of Cuban exiles.

Castro, who said he was writing to "increase the consciousness of the Cuban people," made no mention of Obama's remarks last week that he would roll back Bush administration policies that restrict the number of family visits Cuban-Americans can make to the island and the amount of money that can be sent to relatives in Cuba. But the Cuban leader did mockingly write that Obama and Clinton, both Democrats, "feel the sacred duty of demanding 'a democratic government in Cuba.' "

Worrying About Hillary
by Robert Novak

Posted: 08/31/2007

Many of the Democratic congressmen who ousted Republicans in marginal House districts last year privately express concern about the impact on their re-election prospects if Hillary Clinton is nominated for president.

Because of the strong possibility that Sen. Clinton indeed will be the party's candidate, these congressmen will not openly express their fears. But they dread her impact from the top of the ticket.

Clinton's opponents don't raise the question in public. But there is such underground talk in Iowa, the state opening the battle for convention delegates, questioning her "electability."

Would Bin Laden Vote Democrat?



By Ben Shapiro



President Bush and Osama Bin Laden, says leftist blogger Josh Marshall of TalkingPointsMemo.com, “are tacit partners in creating the world in which we now live.” Bush’s focus on Bin Laden has heightened his credibility, says Marshall; in doing so, Marshall continues, Bush has turned Bin Laden into a larger-than-life figure.



This is a rather roundabout argument. Bin Laden orchestrated the most devastating attack on American soil in the history of the United States – there is no doubt that Bin Laden became the most prominent terrorist in the world the moment Flight 11 hit the World Trade Center on September 11.



If Bin Laden has tacit allies, it is clear from his most recent video statement that those allies reside in the Democratic Party, liberal academia, the Hollywood jet-set, the leftist blogosphere, and the international anti-globalization movement.
