Mar. 3, Headlines - On the campaign trail, Barack Obama responds
to a Hillary Clinton advertisement. Here he is in Parma Heights, Ohio, a suburb of Cleveland.
"So when you think about who you want answering that phone call at 3 in
the morning, you might want to consider who had the judgement not to be bulldozed
into supporting a war that, I believe, has made us less safe."
Clinton released an ad that asked who is best prepared
to make a decision at a crucial moment. The tv spot showed children sleeping
and the narrator asked "It's
3 am, who do you want answering your phone."
Meanwhile, the Clinton and
Obama campaigns are sparring over political shadiness. Clinton is calling
on Obama to release records pertaining to his ties to indicted Chicago real
estate developer Anthony Rezko. The Obama campaign is calling on Clinton to
release her tax returns, to prove that her 5 million dollar donation she made
to her campaign was in her name, not her husbands, which would violate Federal
Election laws.
Adding to the growing list of States who are making the switch
from electronic voting machines back to paper ballots is Florida. Touch-screen
voting machines in 18 Florida counties will be swapped.
And the manufacturer
of voting machines in New Jersey blame human error not the machines for inaccurate
voter turnout totals in the state's February 5th primaries. New Jersey's attorney
general says they will look into the manufacturer, Sequoia Voting Systems, findings.
