Molecast audio: David Schultz talks about the growing rancor between Obama and the Clintons
Most of today’s Molecast politics chat with political analyst David Schultz is devoted to the escalating war of words and deeds between the Obama and Clinton camps. Monday night’s Democratic debate on CNN “was ugly,” he says. “If the Democrats have another debate like that on national television, there’s not a prayer that either Clinton or Obama are going to get elected in November.”
Hillary and Bill Clinton have succeeded in putting Barack Obama “off his game,” Schultz notes, “but think of where this puts us down the line, though. Clinton may be able to win the nomination because she does well with women and relatively well with Hispanics.” It doesn’t augur well for the general election, in his reckoning: “She doesn’t do well with blacks, with white males, with Republicans, or with independents.”

Molecast audio: The Mitt is still half-empty; Hillary, Obama, and race
In this week’s Campaign ‘08 talk, political analyst and Hamline University prof David Schultz says that Mitt Romney’s Michigan win is less than it’s being made out to be: “At this point, it looks like the Republican party establishment is betting on McCain,” he says. “The fiscal conservatives in the party like him the most; the evangelicals, while they seem to be most comfortable with Huckabee, probably can live with McCain; the Wall Street crowd certainly prefers McCain to everybody else.”
But the Democratic race remains no clearer than before as the candidates the Nevada and South Carolina contests of the next few days–which, says Schultz, put a premium on race (South Carolina) and union support (Nevada). “Several months ago, when it looked like the culinary workers union [in Nevada] might back [Clinton], she supported a proposition that would allow some of the caucuses to take place in the casinos,” he notes. “Now that the culinary workers have endorsed Obama, you see her backpedaling on that.”

Molecast audio: David Schultz on the picture after New Hampshire
We caught up with David Schultz on the fly last night, as he was returning from one trip and preparing to leave on another, to talk about the shifting fortunes of Hillary Clinton, John McCain, and McCain VP-wannabe Tim Pawlenty. In the upcoming legislative session, says the Hamline University political analyst, “You probably will see [Pawlenty] take fairly hard positions on taxes, which affects the bonding bill and transportation issues, and you might see him try to propose some other measures on social issues, all with the idea of trying to shore up his image.” But Schultz also notes that if McCain’s the nominee, then current frontrunner Mike Huckabee’s ties to evangelicals might make him the VP nominee of greatest use to McCain.
