Two Democrat Presidential hopefuls crossed paths in Alabama

Democrat Senators Hilary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama were both in Selma, Alabama this morning celebrating the aniversary of a bloody Civil Rights Protest back in 1965.

Both candidates took advantage of the photo opportunities to help their bid for the 2008 Presidential Democrat Nomination. Hilary brought her not so secret weapon with her (husband Bill)and took advantage of his continued popularity among Democrats.

The March 7th, 1965 peaceful protest became known as Bloody Sunday, when billyclub wielding police attacked the peaceful protesters. The peaceful protest was organized to bring attention to the racist voting practices in the south against blacks.

Both candidates used the opportunity to claim that actions of the participants helped to pave the way for each of them have the opportunity to be running for President of the United States.

I am sure the voters in Alabama will take notice of their participation and it will help one of them come 2008.

Hilary Rodham Clinton is in for a fight

If the early fundraising is any indication of things to come for the Democrat nomination, Hilary might just not be the leader very long. Relative new comer, Barack Obama is winning over some of the big money people. That will not bode well for Clinton who is expected to be a strong fundraiser and she expects to raise more than $100 million dollars.

Unfortunately for Hilary, Obama seems to be winning over the Hollywood elite and if he continues to win them over she just might not raise enough money to bankroll her run for the White House in 2008.

As far as I am concerned it couldn't happen to a better person. If she smart she would drop out and get behind Obama or Edwards and help them win the nomination.
