Perhaps the best attended meeting of the Rules Committee of the Democratic Party has started its public session today in Washington, D.C. The issue is what to do about delegates selected in Florida and Michigan. The NYT reported on last night’s preparatory meeting here.
We can’t attend the session in person, but we can in spirit. What do you think should be the correct resolution, and why? For reference: without FL and MI, Obama needs 41 delegates to clinch and Clinton 244 (total 2,025); with FL and MI, Obama needs 124 and Clinton 235 (total 2,209), according to DemConWatch.
I personally think that half of the delegates from each state should be awarded to Senator Clinton, and half to Senator Obama. This allows the delegates to be seated, and the states to participate in the Convention, but also respects the voters in the 48 states that did follow the rules. There were not proper campaigns in either Florida or Michigan, and Senator Obama&rsqu...

http://zennie2005.blogspot.com/2008/12/fisa-needed-to-counter-american-hate.html - In his video “Obama = The Black Bush” Phild showed that he does not understand what The Foreign Intelligence Surveilence Act is or why then-Senator Obama backed it. The new FISA has a court that determines the use of wiretaps, and not a chief executive. FISA is needed to counter and monitor the American hate groups currently active and in some cases growing in ... more
For the last 7 years, Democrats and ACLU Liberals have vilified and obstructed the Bush Administration’s efforts to intercept and monitor phone calls and electronic communications in an effort to detect and thwart terrorist attacks. The recent slaughter in Bombay proves why such monitoring is essential to our national security and why Senator Obama — [...]... more
As millions of people flock to the stores this holiday season, the better business bureau wants everyone to keep a watchful eye on their budgets and the stores that will attempt to lure them in.
Before going shopping have a pre-set list of items you’re going to buy and amount your going to spend. Be sure to check all warranty and refund policies and if you’re ordering online, like many people will do, check everything before you wrap and girt it. Times are tough and the Better Busi... more
I received this flier in the mail the other day from the North Carolina Republican State Executive Committee.
Clinton and McCain look like they’re in love, judging by the cover, and the copy is just adulatory:
“With intensity and hard work, she left 18 million cracks in the glass ceiling”
and, on the inside,
“I share Senator Clinton’s goal of promoting women to more important roles throughout our government. By the end of my first time, I promise yo... more
The Pendulum Swings From: blatherwincerepeat.com Post Date: 2008-11-06 10:39:48
The outcome of the election was not a surprise. A Dem win by either Senator Clinton or Obama became a near fait accompli the moment McCain clinched the nomination in a year in which the economy was the dominant issue for the electorate. The real shocker would have been a McCain upset.
But like many other [...]... more

Jeff Beatty issued a press release that a letter was hand delivered to Bill Galvin to investigate voter fraud by the Ogonowski campaign. As to the letter, (which is listed under the press release with affidavit) states:
The letter points to an affidavit signed by a registered Republican voter in Chelmsford, MA stating that his signature was fraudulently placed on nomination papers for Mr. Ogonowski’s campaign. This voter was also told that, in addition to his fa... more
I know, I know. Why get off our butts? We like sitting there. It’s the perfect position to try to turn EB3’s latest bulletin on State House wives into a screenplay (Eva Longoria as Ms. Petro?)

Why do so few people vote? Is this because people don’t take personal responsibility? Or is this because of how our elections are structured?
One clear cut example of how to remove barriers to participation was in North Carolina’s primary just a few weeks ago
From a recent Demos study:
North Carolina’s new "Same Day Registration" (SDR) law allowed 22,293 new voters to participate in the state’s high-turnout, May 6 primary election

In a May 1 article about DiMasi, Cashman and ethics, Globe reporter Frank Phillips wrote:
"While the nature of the cable TV show business relationship is not known, if Deborah DiMasi accepted money in the business relationship, it could pose a violation of state ethics laws that prohibit people with interests before the Legislature from providing anything of more than $50 in value to lawmakers. The prohibition extends to lawmakers’ spouses and to their business relationships, as wel... more
