American Afternoon with Ron Kuby Thursday May 22nd 2008
Barack Obama moved a bit closer to wrapping up the nomination as he is less than 70 delegates away. Hillary Clinton is vowing to push on and possibly take the fight to the convention in August. Barack Obama continues to focus on the general election and taking on John McCain. Obama also seems to be having a bit of an issue with certain communities. Ari Berman, from The Nation, will join Ron Kuby in HOUR ONE to talk about it.
Kicking off HOUR TWO will be guest Taylor Marsh. Taylor Marsh is a Clinton supporter who maintains the major blog site for Clinton fans and expert analysis on all election-year topics, including the results of the ongoing Presidential primaries.
Also joining Ron in HOUR TWO will be David Wilhelm. Wilhelm is a political operative and businessman.

Wilhelm is a 2008 super delegate to the Democratic National Convention. He is supporting Barack Obama's candidacy and is informally advising the Obama campaign. Wilhelm is a venture capitalist who focuses on spurring sustainable economic growth in areas that tend not to receive much investment.
Closing out today’s show will be guest Daniel Lazare. Lazare is the author of, most recently, The Velvet Coup: The Constitution, the Supreme Court, and the Decline of American Democracy. He is currently at work on a book about the politics of Christianity, Judaism and Islam for Pantheon.

Hillary Unfit
Hi Ron, enjoyed your show, but disagree with your choice of Hillary. Let me illustrate a point here.
A client is charged with the heinous murder and molestation of a child and selects you as council. You receive the discovery on the evidence from the prosecution and your client gives you his alibi in the form of a report. Because of the nature of the crime it would be politically expedient for you as a lawyer to be done with the case and go through the motions. Would you as a competent lawyer read the discovery report and investigate your clients alibi?
Hillary Clinton chose political expediency when voting to give Bush authority to prosecute a war against Iraq. She didn't feel that reading the National Intelligence Estimate prior to her vote was important in making a decision that would place our military in harms way not to mention 100's of thousands of innocent Iraqi's.
Aside from having terrible judgement, she proved herself unfit to hold the highest position in the land. I want someone who is more interested in serving the American people than advancing her career at any cost.
Regards,
D. Greco
