AK: Obama Claims Early Lead
By Christopher Lee
Barack Obama claimed an early lead in Alaska, pulling in 68 percent of the vote to Hillary Clinton's 32 percent with 20 percent of precincts reporting.
Party leaders anticipated a record turnout tonight as Alaska Democrats headed to the party's presidential caucuses for the first time on Super Tuesday, rather than the usual March date. Thirteen of the state's 18 delegates were at stake, with candidates needing at least 15 percent of the vote to collect any. But the final allocation of delegates will not be determined until the state party convention in May.

Hillary's camp is now asking for more debates, as if we didn't know her and her husband well enough already, and how they will use any opportunity to distort and defame. ...
However, if Obama agrees to another debate, I hope someone will ask Hillary the following question:
"Ma'am, your husband's presidency was marked by scandals running from the salacious to national security, you've run a campaign based on race coding, and both you and your husband have scant regard for the truth.
"Personal responsibility is the key to government accountability.
"What could you--or your husband--say to young people, what could you possibly bring to the table, for those who need to hear a message of honesty and integrity?"

Martun,I second that question!
Not taking the sting out of the scandals while he was in the White House...but we need to also point out the scandals that followed him to the White House and beyond.
Who needs to keep living in the past.
