Delegates
Football, Elections, And War
The Super Bowl was February 5 this year. Did you pay attention to the responses some people had watching it on T.V.? “Kick ‘im in the head.” “Squash ‘im into the ground.” Followed by lots of four-letter words, yelling at the players, and throwing things across the room. And did you listen closely to some of the talk in the stands? “Kill ‘em!” “Take ‘em out!” “Crush ‘em!” This kind of behavior at sporting events, especially football games, is...
The Weekend Reading List
I’ve been laying low today, once again playing catch up with business and rest. Ah, yes rest… Something I never get enough of.

That said, here’s the Weekend Reading List: The Gallup Daily shows a Clinton upswing in recent days: Clinton 46%, Obama 45%: At TaylorMarsh.com a piece by Paul Lukasiak dissecting the story by “journalist” Celeste Fremon that...
Howard Dean Puts the Pressure On

California Delegate Caucus: Someone’s Gotta Do It
Sunday was the day California Democrats chose district delegates to the national convention in August. Yes, I went to my delegate caucus. About a month ago I volunteered to help, naively thinking I’d be sitting at a table signing people in. Well, last Monday night I received an email saying I was responsible for running the 6 delegate CD-14 Hillary delegate caucus (6 being the larger allocation). A couple days later I got a bunch of paperwork and sign-up...
Obama Campaign Purges 900 Potential Delegates in CA
Here’s the latest in news about the fight for the Democratic nomination… In California both the Obama and Clinton campaigns are “purging potential California delegates to ensure that only their loyalists vote at the national convention that will crown one of them as the Democratic presidential nominee.” The Obama camp has purged 18 times more delegates than the Clinton camp to the tune of some 900 “potential” delegates purged by camp Obama: Driven by fears that some prospective delegates might...
Why Hillary Clinton Should Be Winning
Sean Wilentz backs up what was said a few days ago by Wesley Little on Rasmussen (see post here): “Under a winner-take-all primary system, Hillary Clinton would have a wide lead over Barack Obama — and enough delegates to clinch the nomination by June.” We’ve been having a few discussions here on The Dem Daily about the Democrats convoluted mess of a system to choose a nominee — Wilentz is on the money: Sphere: Related Content
