After Senator Hillary Clinton’s big wins in Texas and Ohio, Barack Obama clearly owned Wyoming Saturday…caucus-goers there choosing the Illinois Democrat with a record turnout. Still, the delegate distribution could be termed a “near-tie”, Obama securing 7 more delegates, Clinton walking away with another 5.
Senator McCain remains focused on the Mississippi race Tuesday and then Pennsylvania April 22nd…but how does he keep up the momentum for both the GOP and his plans for a McCain Presidency?
That’s what we’ll examine today in America’s Election Headquarters at 10am eastern when I host two hours with Eric Shawn.
We’ll show you a new Senator McCain campaign ad…the Arizona Senator must not only bring more conservatives aboard, he must build his general election campaign infra-structure, raise campaign cash and select a vice-presidental nominee that will attract not only republicans but cross-over voters as well.
Who do you think is the VP choice most likely to secure John McCain a victory in November?

I know it’s post Super Bowl - and what a game it was! But if you are like most of us, you might have indulged a little more than usual last night. After all, who can resist nachos during a nail biter football game?
Not to rain on the parade (and yes we are expecting a big one tomorrow when the Giants return home), but did you hear about what Mississippi has planned for residents who indulge all the time? Their intent is honorable. Mississippi has a very high rate of cardiovascular disease. But putting restaurants in charge of what we choose to eat?
A new bill introduced in Mississippi - HB 282 - would do just that. It makes it ILLEGAL to serve fat folks. Any restaurant that serves a person with what is considered a high “BMI” index, will lose their health department license. When I reported on this story this weekend, I was surprised frankly to learn that 30% of American adults are obese. This is a frightening number. We can all do more to whittle our waistlines but putting the kid behind the counter in charge? It’s okay for me to call them kids - I was a burger king girl way back when!
“Weigh in” here. Is this an outrage or on the money?
