On a need to know basis does anyone really care if Obama Girl didn’t vote? I mean really who gives damn? Is this really news? No. It’s fluff and hype. And considering that Obama told AP in August, “that his own daughters became upset with the risqué video,” he probably didn’t care either. Obama Girl is just hoping to catch a ride to her own fame and fortune. It doesn’t say much for the state of this presidential race...

Will There Be a Brokered Deal for the Dem Nominee?
I’ve said here recently in the comments that I didn’t think it would be a good thing for the Dems to have to take the fight for the nomination to the convention floor this summer.

If you had been watching it throughout the evening, you would have noted that there was a lot of primary reports highlighted from most of my favorite bloggers.

The Odd Facts of Delegate Numbers in California
I will not pretend to understand the very complex rules of the California Democratic Party with regard to delegate counts after the Primary. I do know these two things: A.
