Clinton Wins 87% of the
Deceased Vote
By Heywood U. Reedmore
NEVADA - While most of the recent attention
in the race for the Democratic presidential
nomination has focused on racial divisions,
with Senator Obama earning the black vote
and Clinton capturing the Latino vote, another
key demographic has gone largely unnoticed
-- the deceased vote.
Deceased persons are a reliable voting block
for the Democratic party, turning out in huge
numbers in 2000, 2004 and 2006. The 2008
presidential nomination will likely go to the
Democrat who can reliably win the deceased
vote in each primary.
According to an analysis of the primary votes
in New Hampshire and Nevada, Spolitics has
learned that Senator Hillary Clinton managed
to earn 78% of the deceased vote, helping her
capture wins in those two states.
According to Sean Penn, a senior political
strategist, deceased voters gravitated toward
Clinton because they viewed her as the
candidate that was most like them.
"Dead people have been one of the most
important voting blocks for the Democrats for
years," said Penn. "Usually, wherever there is
a close election, it was the deceased vote that
tipped it in our favor. Hillary's ability to turn
out the deceased vote will make her a tough
candidate to beat."
The Obama campaign was quick to agree.
"Dead voters are not independent thinkers,"
said one Obama aide. "They're followers and
that's not our constituency."
On a related subject, Spolitics also discovered
that John Edwards was the clear favorite of
another key demographic for the Democrats,
the prison vote. Prisoners voted for Edwards
by a margin of over nine to one, with the
balance of the votes going to Clinton.
“John Edwards has that special something
that appeals to inmates,” said one senior
strategist who asked not to be named. “He
receives a lot of mail from prisons, most of
which include marriage proposals.”
But, while Edwards is the clear favorite
amongst prisoners, it has not been enough to
tip a primary in his favor. Should he decided
to drop out, experts agree that his prison vote
would go to Hillary, making her a virtual lock
for the nomination.

Writer’s Surge Not Leading to
Political Compromise
By Lefty Paige
HOLLYWOOD - When proponents moved to
redeploy film and television writers to the
streets of Hollywood, the main rationale
behind the move was that it would create the
space for a political solution between the two
warring factions, the writers and the studios.
However, it is now several months since the
surge was launched and it has yet to lead to
the kind of political reconciliation that was
promised by those who were advocating for
the plan.
"We've dramatically increased the number of
writers walking the streets," said one person
familiar with the plan," but we have yet to see
the kind of political progress we were hoping
for."
The main stumbling block is still an oil-
revenue sharing provision that will split profits
between the writers, the studios and the
Kurds. Neither party is willing to give any
ground in service of striking a deal.
"Right now the studios are getting the vast
majority of the oil," said our source. The
writers only get about four cups per barrel.
Until the studios are willing to come up on
that figure, I don't foresee a compromise."
Meanwhile, some writers have suggested that
they issue a timeline for withdrawal to put
pressure on the studios to do a deal. Others,
disagree.
"I don't see the point in advertising our next
move," said one writer who wished not to be
named. "If we give them a timeline, they'll
just wait us out. We have to stay strong."
