Hillary, Obama prepare for Mississippi mission

AFP, Washington
Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton prepared yesterday for their next skirmish in Mississippi as Democratic bosses grew rattled about where their presidential nomination war was headed.
Obama, bidding to be the first African-American president, is tipped to win most of the Magnolia State's 33 delegates on Tuesday after defeating the former first lady by a landslide in Wyoming on Saturday.
Recent polls have given the Illinois senator anything from a six-to 24-point edge in Mississippi, where more than half of Democratic voters are black.
While Obama was to address supporters at two campaign stops in Mississippi Monday, Clinton headed to the much bigger battleground of Pennsylvania, a blue-collar state whose 158 delegates will be up for grabs on /\pril 22.
The New York senator campaigned in Mississippi at the end of last week and, like Obama, promised to help rebuild communities obliterated by Hurricane Katrina in mid-2005.
We do not yet have the level of response and urgency that a national disaster which turned into a national disgrace deserves," she said Friday.
Talk of a "dream ticket" has intensified as the Democrats stare at deadlock between their brightest electoral stars all the way through to the party's August nominating
convention in Denver.
But Obama is the front-runner with a lead of about 100 delegates, and is in no mood to bargain with his rival from New York at a time when their aides are escalating a warofwords.
Senator John Kerry, the Democratic standard-bearer in 2004 who is backing Obama, noted that Clinton's campaign was ridiculing Obama's capacity to take on Republican John McCain for the post of commander- in- chief.
"On the other hand, they're saying maybe he ought to be vice president. You can't have the argument both ways," he told CBS on Sunday. "That's exactly the politics that Barack Obama is running to change."
Party grandees are sparring over whether to bring Florida and Michigan in from political purgatory. after the two states were punished for advancing their primaries into January.
Clinton will find it virtually impossible to overhaul Obama's delegate lead in the 11 contests still to come. Even with Florida and Michigan in play, neither Democrat can reach the winning lineof2,025 delegates.
But Clinton's campaign is furiously lobbying "superdelegates" with the argument that she has won the biggest states so far and, with Florida and Michigan included, is ahead in the popular vote by about 32,000 ballots.
Democratic National Committee chairman Howard
Dean urged the two pariah states to come up a solution in line with DNC rules to get their 313 elected delegates reinstated.
But the former Vermont governor said the party would not pay for new contests. And he said the priority was to avoid civil war in Denver with the outcome left hinging on the 796 superdclcgutes.
The former first lady has been dropping heavy hints that one way out of the logjam would be a "drcam ticket" with Obama --provided she was on top.
Former president Bill Clinton said Saturday that a ticket combining the party's two biggest electoral stars would be an "almost unstoppable force."

Florida Senator Bill Nelson said the Democrats risked alienating voters in his state, scene of the 2000 election cliff-hanger won by the Republicans, and warned the party faced a "train wreck" in Denver without a resolution.
Michigan Senator Carl Levin said it was "outrageous" to bar the two states from the convention.
Meanwhile, Clinton faced a moment of humility Monday when a young girl, who was featured in her controversial 3:00 am telephone call advertisement, prepared to strongly and publicly endorse Obama.
