Mark Mallory, the mayor of Cincinnati, officially endorsed Obama today. I have heard that this was coming for a couple of weeks.

Now this is sounding familiar: The U.N. nuclear monitoring agency presented documents Monday that diplomats said indicate Iran may have focused on a nuclear weapons program after 2003 – the year that a U.S. intelligence report says such work stopped. Iran again denied ever trying to make such arms. Ali Ashgar Soltanieh, the chief Iranian […]

First to the turnouts. In Wisconsin, Obama won 58%-41%. That’s not the only big news though. Look at these turnout numbers: Democratic: 1,099,004 Republican: 403,300 The Democrats had almost 3 times the turn out as the Republicans did yesterday. That is in Wisconsin – a state the Kerry and Gore won by only 1%. That […]

In other words, “screw what the voter wants“. I have been speaking to a lot of Democrats lately who are fed up with their party. From the waffling of the leadership in the House and Senate, to this entire delegate mess, they are tired of it. Something has to be done soon or the Independent […]

Ickes is a member of the DNC and a senior adviser to the Clinton Campaign. Last year he voted to strip FL and MI of their delegates. Now he wants them back in. Why? Here’s the reason: Ickes explained that his different position essentially is due to the different hats he wears as both a […]

David Wilhelm was Bill Clinton’s 1992 campaign manager and former chairmen of the DNC. He is also a super delegate and now backing Barack Obama.

Currently Obama is ahead by 125 pledged delegates. The Clinton campaign is hoping to end the primary season only behind by 30 delegates. As near as I can tell that is going to be extremely hard to achieve. Going through numerous scenarios they might end up down 75-100 pledged delegates, but I wouldn’t be surprised […]

I have been digging through some of the exit polls from last night and there appears to be a trend that is growing. In Virginia, Obama won 60% of the female vote. He also won 54% of the Latino vote and won in every category of income. The same trend held true for Maryland, with […]
