It was splitsville last night after the Kentucky and Oregon primaries. Hillary Clinton took Kentucky by a wide margin and Barack Obama took Oregon. In doing so, Obama gained the majority of the delegates though he did not surpass the 2026 needed to gain the nomination. Chris Cillizza, from The Washington Post, will join Ron in HOUR ONE to talk about the options. During his four years at the paper, he reported on campaign politics from the presidential to the congressional level. Chris covered governor's races and southern House races at the Cook Political Report and wrote a column on politics for Congress Daily. His freelance work has appeared in a variety of publications including the Atlantic Monthly, Washingtonian and Slate. He has also been a guest on CNN, Fox News Channel and MSNBC. He currently writes “The Fix” in the political section of The Washington Post. Chris will be followed by Iowa Democratic Party Chair Scott Brennan who just came out this week to endorse Barack Obama.
Joining the show in HOUR TWO will be Bob Nash, Hillary Clinton’s Deputy Campaign Manager. Nash will be on talking about what the future holds for Clinton, whether she will drop out or keep on pushing forward. Nash was President Clinton's White House Personnel Director from 1994-2001. As President Clinton's White House Personnel Director, Nash led the administration's efforts to hire a diverse workforce that represented all Americans. A native of Texarkana, Arkansas, Nash worked on Bill Clinton's gubernatorial and presidential campaigns and Hillary's Senate contests, focusing on reaching out to racial, ethnic and minority groups.
Then-Governor Clinton appointed Nash as President of the Arkansas State Development Finance Authority, where he managed a multi-billion dollar public sector finance institution to support Arkansas' housing, small business and public facilities.
Also joining Ron in HOUR TWO will be Eric Lichtblau. Lichtblau received the 2006 Pulitzer Prize for national reporting, for his stories on the NSA's wiretapping program. He has worked in the Washington bureau of The New York Times, covering the Justice Department, since 2002. From 1999 to 2002 he covered the Justice Department for the Los Angeles Times. He will be on today’s show talking about his NYT piece detailing the latest report on military interrogation practices.
Rounding out the show today will be Maria Milito from Q104fm in NYC. She will join Ron to talk about American Idol as she is the “American Idol Princess”.
Plus your calls and much more on American Afternoon with guest host Ron Kuby.
Is this kivining what we could look forward to with hillary?
Enough about new numbers and florida and michigan.
Hillary and her tribe know this is dishonest and unfair to prusue.
Her secrecy about her taxes and records in the white house,
along with this kiniving and win-at-all-costs attitude is a hint
as to what we would expect from her as President. After 8 years of the same from Bush and Cheney, I for one have ahd it and don't want to hear naymore about FL and MI. Bow out with some goddamn dignity!
