meanwhile here's a good site on superdelegates.

I think it indicates that the "follow your state" principle would advantage Clinton (at this point in time).

I know the conservative right is drooling over the prospects of running against Hillary, but a handful of conservative Republicans I've spoken with would rather vote for change (Obama) than follow party lines. And yes, some will be caucusing tomorrow...

Especially with quotes like this:


"She said she never suspected that her son would be violent but described the events as “an act of God, just like a storm or a tornado.”

Mr. Thornton’s sister-in-law, Doreen Thornton, said he had had a 17-year-old daughter and said she could not understand what had happened.

“Cookie never got mad,” Ms. Thornton said. “He was a people person. Cookie was known through his church to be a No. 1 kind of man.”

K-wood is a nice suburb of The Lou. Apparently, this dude was always being a pain in the ass at the city council meeting. I guess he finally lost it...

However, I suggest "spending" it on your 2008 taxes, since that's where it's being borrowed from in the first place.

Of course, that won't help the economy in the short-term, but it'll sure help your pocket-book come April '09.

I'm a Thornton. Not a crazed gunman, though. OK, not a gunman. But I'll bet the security at city council chambers around the country just got tighter, and kooks with agendas will have a harder time finding time to speak.
