Nader Gets Things Started

"There's only one thing different about Barack Obama when it comes to being a Democratic presidential candidate. He's half African-American," Nader told the paper in comments published Tuesday. "Whether that will make any difference, I don't know. I haven't heard him have a strong crackdown on economic exploitation in the ghettos. Payday loans, predatory lending, asbestos, lead. What's keeping him from doing that? Is it because he wants to talk white? He doesn't want to appear like Jesse Jackson? We'll see all that play out in the next few months and if he gets elected afterwards." CNN

Is Nader trying to get some attention? He does sort of have a point or does he? The Obama people gave some lame statement -- sounds like Nader hit a nerve. I cannot help, but wonder if parts of this statement are true.

Barry Zero Doesn't Strike Again

Thanks to Zero, the Giants are dropping like flies to the Tigers as this is being posted.

Barry Zito

LHP
(2-10) 5.88 ERA

Giants: Zito walked more batters (four) than he struck out (three) in his last start, allowing four runs in 5 2/3 innings against the Athletics, his former team. He was one pitch away from a quality start, but walked in a run on a 3-2 count in the sixth inning before being pulled. He allowed three runs in a three-hit, one-walk third inning, and lasted less than six for the ninth time this season. After facing just six batters in the fourth and fifth innings, Zito began losing steam and elevating his pitches in the sixth frame.

Hillary to Stream Her Endorsement

                              Dear Catherine,

I have been honored and privileged to work with so many dedicated people on Hillary's historic campaign. Your enthusiastic commitment to her campaign through the primaries has been inspirational.

As you know, Hillary will be holding an event tomorrow in Washington D.C. to thank all of her supporters, to express her support for Senator Obama, and to talk about the issues that have been at the core of her public service, the issues she will continue fighting for.

Hillary wanted to make sure her online supporters were a part of this special event, just as you have been a part of her campaign from the very beginning. So, we will be streaming it live over the website at HillaryClinton.com.

We invite you to visit our website tomorrow, Saturday June 7, at 12 p.m. EDT to watch Hillary speak live.

                              Thank you for everything you have done for our campaign.

                              Sincerely,

                              Maggie Williams
                              Campaign Manager
