I read on another thread. Something about Hillary having more delegates from Iowa than Obama even though she came in third place in the caucuses.

Is there anything to this?

I did inhale.

O is closing in on C and you guys are already doing general punditing. Try to live in the "now" for another half hour, for god's sake, instead of the high-level summary- it's better for your health;-)

Diebold.

Surely not...

I did inhale.

Any bets? Not saying she's my favorite candidate, but at this point I'm convinced she will be the nominee. She will win against any Republican as well.

Details for the Michigan Primary

At stake: 30 GOP delegates; 0 Democratic delegates. Because Michigan broke party rules by moving up its primary, it has been stripped of half its GOP delegates and all its Democratic ones. Leaders of both state parties expect to regain the lost delegates at their respective conventions, but Barack Obama, John Edwards and Bill Richardson pulled their names off the ballot.

Polls show: Hillary Rodham Clinton leading among Democrats still on the ballot, but voters also can choose "Uncommitted," which Obama and Edwards supporters may do; Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee are in a close race among Republicans, but John McCain could be helped by crossover voters as he was in 2000.

I did inhale.

That IF Edwards wins, or garners enough delegates to render himself king maker, marshalling himself back into that vice president slot for a future vice presidency. I fully support him. His positions are all great, he is a brilliant capable politician.

The Democrats are putting up three really really great candidates, with great policies, hopes, and the ability to get things back where they need to be.

What do the repubs got? Someone who is 73 with a history of cancer, a bunch of deadbeat dads, and religious nuts. And then there is Giuliani who, my god, his weirdness factors go off the charts. Lets elect a man who likes to wear dresses, has been divorced multiple times, uses city resources to support his mistress, takes telephone calls in the middle of speeches. But then I don't think he'll be around much longer.

This is one election where Democrats HAVE GOT TO PULL TOGETHER AT SOME POINT.

Lets debate, support, cajole. But, I'll tell you, one more eight year run like the last and we may as well throw in the towel. It could not have gotten worse than the last eight years.

I'm beginning to see the race, not so much anymore as a battle between the establishment Clinton and the insurgent Edwards and newcomer Obama, but between the grossly ignorant and the well informed who make up the electorate. I use to think that more civic participation in voting would be a great thing for America, but we have now entered the American Idol age of politics, and that's disgustingly scary for our Democracy.
