Will Obama close delegate/vote gap in New York?

Sun Feb 17, 2008 at 11:16:05 AM PDT

In what is shaping up to be a battle to the death for delegates and superdelegates coming into the home stretch for the Democratic presidential nomination - every advantage counts.  So all the "unofficial" vote counts we have relied on for all of our vote and delegate tallies to this point are being scrutinized for irregularities in every district.

We have all sat here since Super Tuesday thnking Obama lost New York to Hillary by a 57%-40% popular vote margin overall, with local results tabulated to show she would receiver 139 delegates to his 93 (excepting superdelegates).

But now, those further investigations have uncovered some startling irregularities...

More after the jump.

Voices from the Polls - NY Times

Tue Feb 05, 2008 at 10:48:25 AM PDT

We are all tired of hearing differing poll numbers: national polls, tracking polls, state polls, and the like.

Today we not only cast our votes as citizens, but it's important to know the feelings behind not just our own votes, but those of others, if only to give a sense of perspective to our own points of view, and to how we feel our particular candidate of choice will need to address voters committed to other campaigns throughout primary season, and win over those voters from the GOP or independent third parties in the general election.

I found a very interesting feature the NY Times is running today entitled "Voices from the Polls" (link provided after the jump).

Hear that whistle blow

Mon May 07, 2007 at 09:40:11 AM PDT

Surprised no one has picked up on the Bush administration scandals regarding college loans and the lending companies involved.  There is a lot here that mirrors the corrupt and ineffectual way that Administration appointees are infecting our federal bureaucracy and corps of civil servants.

UPDATE - You might be a redneck...

... if you can believe that during a time of war a studio has the bad taste to release a comedy about a bunch of misfit Army reservists assigned to serve in Iraq, but instead, through a series of mishaps, actually ends up crash landing Mexico thinking it's Iraq - called Delta Farce.

So if you thought anyone was taking the sacrifice of our soldiers and reservists seriously - think again.

Reverend Al's Backtrack/Oprah's Hip-Hop Summit

Wed Apr 18, 2007 at 05:36:45 PM PDT

One of the positive after-effects of the Don Imus scandal has been the realization that we as citizens can take action to curtail hateful speech.  We can put real pressure on advertisers and corporations at the Netroots level and see real results in a short time span.  So we can truly impact how much sexist, racist, and violent speech is released through various media.

Oprah Winfrey took on this issue yesterday.
