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. Howard Dean weighed in on the possibility of a floor fight for the nomination or brokering a deal: “The idea that we can afford to have a big fight at the convention and then win the race in the next eight weeks, I think,...

Hillary’s Super Tuesday Victory Speech
Looking forward from Super Tuesday, here’s Hillary’s Super Tuesday Victory Speech (h/t C&L): The Clinton campaign notes today that the Super Tuesday “results confirmed Hillary’s strengths as a candidate and signaled that she made inroads with a number of key groups and demographics. As we look through the returns and the exits, there are a number of myth-busters that stand out”: Sphere: Related Content

Dizzy’s Ten Post Round-Up
Despite my self-imposed news blackout, I was still following the blogs in my Google Reader. I also have one that my readers can follow, on my own website’s sidebar. 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. Which is why I am glad I had the tv set to soft, soulful, music because I’m sure that the media noise...
Servers & Databases and Super Tuesday
Note to readers: We had server issues tonight and in the interim we had a minor meltdown which caused us to lose our post categories and our main blogroll (now fixed). Thankfully all the posts and comments are in tact. I’ll be working on restoring our blogroll and categories in the coming days. My apologies to readers who visited The Dem Daily tonight and either couldn’t get on our found the place in disarray. We’re back and we’ll have more...
Why I’m Voting For Barack Obama
Just below Stuart has a post explaining how he’s gone over to the Clinton camp. I thought I’d post a similar explanation on how I’ve gone over to Obama’s camp, and cast my vote for him here in Georgia today (and thank you, Pamela, for encouraging dissenting voices on the Dem Daily). First, this isn’t really an “endorsement” as much as it an explanation of why I think Barack Obama is the right person for the job at this...
Undecideds: Why I’m Doing a 180 and Voting For Hillary
(If you are still undecided today then here’s a thought: If you want ‘change’, and we all do, then you have to have a change agent that knows the system and has the contacts to create that change. Perhaps my thoughts as I did a 180 degree turn to support Hillary Clinton will be helpful.) So how did I come to a momentous change 180 degree change? Since I am grounded in Practical Politics, my first concern in any...
Dizzy’s Ten Post Round-Up
Ah, Super Tuesday. The talking heads will be all atwitter watching the polls in 22 states and waiting to see which Democrat/Republican comes out on top at the end of today’s primary bonanza. There will be a news blackout in this house (as always) until after 10pm. I can’t stand play-by-plays, so watching the talking heads hold their breath and trying to “predict” who’s going to get what state is about as interesting as watching paint dry. Or maybe...
