Based on the pledged delegate numbers at Green Papers , and the superdelegate endorsements at Democratic Convention Watch, I just did some quick math to see if Obama has reached the 2,210 magic number laid out of the "Clinton rules." In this case, the "Clinton rules" mean full votes for Florida and Michigan, and a Clinton 73, Obama 22 , uncommitted 33 apportionment for Michigan. It turns out that, even without the Michigan and Florida superdelegates from the Obama superdelegate wave added in, Obama has reached 2,211 delegates under the "Clinton rules." So, he literally wins in every scenario now, and does so with room to spare.
And yet, Hillary Clinton has not conceded. Part of me doesn’t care, because Obama has won in virtually everyone’s estimation and there is no argument her campaign can make anymore (although maybe I shouldn’t underestimate them). Another part of me thinks that if the campaign is over under the most extreme Clinton campaign argu...

Quote: All my reporting tells me that Barack Obama wants Hillary Clinton to be his Secretary of State, and that Clinton wants the job too.
But there’s one significant complication: how to make sure that former President Clinton’s foreign speeches, business dealings and foundation work don’t present conflicts of interest. ...

Obama to use YouTube for Saturday addressesFrom: tips.vlaurie.com

It has become the custom for US Presidents to give a weekly address on Saturdays. Until now radio has been the medium but when he becomes President, Barack Obama will be using YouTube as well as radio-yet another sign that he is Internet savvy. I suspect that the messages are likely to attract a bigger audience by using YouTube. I don’t know how many people have been listening to the radio presentations but availability on YouTube offers a lot more flexibility. ...

Since the election was decided almost two weeks ago, there have

should wish him well and hope that he succeeds. I have a problem
with this type of a blanket wish for success with someone in whom I
have no agreement with concerning policy and whose political
philosophy, I believe, is not only dangerous for our ...
