TalkLeft

The pro-Hillary Clinton bloggers have a few good things to write about Barack Obama on Thursday. Jeralyn, a crime blogger when not focused on politics, praises Obama for voting in the Illinois Legislature against a bill calling for the death penalty for gang members – a vote he is now being attacked for by a conservative advocacy group. Obama had concerns over the bill disproportionately affecting Hispanics and African-Americans. Big Tent Democrat, meanwhile, revisits his case that Clinton and Obama should choose the other as a running mate no matter who wins the presidential nomination. While Clinton could benefit from the excitement Obama has generated, Obama could benefit from Clinton’s strength among women, Latinos and working-class whites, the blogger writes.
