What Clinton, Huckabee, McCain, Obama, And Paul Are Up To
 Saturday, February 16th, 2008



Republican candidate and former Governor of Arkansas Mike Huckabee - who, like running mate Ron Paul has received far less media coverage than his competitors and still has to continuously shoot down false statements in the press that he's quitting - is off to the Cayman Islands this weekend to speak at the Young Caymanian Leadership Awards Banquet.  He's the only one of the candidates (Republican and Democratic) who's campaign trail events are not available on his site, although you can view a list of his meetup groups' activities.

Republican candidate Senator John McCain is taking it a little slower (though, who needs to move fast when the mass media's got you overcovered?).  He was at the Wisconsin Reagan Day Dinner in Milwaukee last night, but only has one other scheduled event coming up, according to his website.  On Feb. 19th, he'll be holding a press conference with Former President George H. W. Bush.  His most recent press release is regarding his appearance on CNN's Larry King Live (shock, shock) regarding the "Democrats' Failure To Act On FISA."




Republican candidate and Congressman Ron Paul, still gaining momentum with no plans to quit, is making the rounds in Texas:  he will be at the University of North Texas in Denton on Feb. 18th, Vive Les Arts Theatre in Killeen, TX on Feb. 23rd, and at the MSNBC Presidential Summit in Houston, TX on Feb. 28th (think they'll let him talk?).  Meanwhile, his camp released an update on Thursday announcing that the top three contributors to his presidential campaign thusfar are from the U.S. Army, the U.S. Navy, and the U.S. Air Force.  He's also proposed a March On Washington for all of his supporters.





Democratic candidate Senator Hillary Clinton was just in our home state of Ohio (no, we did not go), and her latest press release mentions the Buckeye state in a plan that hopes to address credit card abuses, promote fair lending, and expand access to fair credit in Ohio.  She's headed to Wisconsin on Tuesday.








Democratic candidate Barack Obama took a mini-break from campaigning for Valentine's Day, but this weekend he's in Milwaukee, Wisconsin doing rallies, and where he attended a tour of the Janesville General Motors Assembly plant earlier in the week.  Then he'll bounce way over to Youngstown, Ohio on Monday for a "Keeping America's Promise" rally.
