First came the news report from FOX News’ Palestra.net. Then, the vitriolic attack on a right-wing blog site. Then the news trucks came, and stayed. And then they began hunting us down, from New York, to Columbus, and all the way to Oxford, England. This is what voter intimidation looks like in America today. It’s the Rupert Murdoch version of democracy, and it’s not pretty.

Last night, I was looking through the list of superdelegates who have not yet endorsed a candidate. I thought....hmmm, which endorsement would be most important for Barack Obama? Al Gore, yeah, but it seems unlikely that he will go against the Clintons at this point. Harry Reid....too risky for his position as Senate leader. Nancy Pelosi....already said she would endorse the candidate with the delegate lead. Jimmy Carter......too controversial with the Israel-Palestine thing. His endorsement may hurt more than it helps.

Mike Easley! Yes, the governor of North Carolina. This would be the next most important superdelegate to endorse Mr. Obama.

I applaud all of the congressional candidates and military officers who have put together the "Responsible Plan to End the War in Iraq." However, I want more. We need more. I'm tired of Democrats talking about how bad the Bush Administration is, how bad Iraq is and why we need to get out of Iraq. We all, even Republicans, know why we need to get out of Iraq. We know the invasion was a disaster. We know Bush is a disaster.

But this proposal is nothing new. I thought the proposal had too many quotes, too many wishes, too much rhetoric and not enough new and creative thought. We're tired of hearing about why we need to get out of Iraq - we need to know exactly how we are going to get out of Iraq. Not why and not when, but how.

The Mississippi delegate distribution is more complicated than many other states. Some of the delgates are allocated according to the popular vote, while others are allocated according to congressional districts.

I've done some calculations below of how the delegate distribution could turn out. When watching the results come in, you should look for the following thresholds:

Last night, Democrats voted against congestion pricing in New York City and I went to bed very angry. For those who don't know, congestion pricing has been a very controversial topic here in New York. Bloomberg's idea is to charge motorists a significant fee for driving through Manhattan. The purpose is to cut traffic and improve air quality in New York City.

Congestion pricing has been implemented in London, Norway and Sweden and the results have been fantastic. Traffic has been cut by as much as 50% and air quality has improved dramatically. Environmentalists like myself think that this plan should be implemented in all US cities because it cuts CO2 emmissions by more than half - less cars and less standing traffic means less fuel burned.

Two weeks ago, I gave the valedictorian commencement speech at New York University's graduation. My speech, which was about the environment, was inspired by Al Gore and by the enviromental problems I've witnessed in my travels around the world. What amazed me was how many people were not aware of the environmental problems I mentioned. After some thought, I decided to write Al Gore a letter and tell him that his run for presidency is just as important as winning the election.

I also sent him a copy of my speech.
