SuperDelegates.org - Learn about the DNC Super Delegates
It’s looking increasingly likely that the race for a nominee in the Democratic party will take some time to settle out… and the “super delegates” may actually have a hand in deciding who the Democratic nominee is.
If you don’t know what a “super delegate” is, don’t worry – a lot of people don’t. Each state […]
Barack - a resounding victory
Barack’s victory was far broader than even the talking heads are reporting:
Among non-blacks under 30, he won 52% of the vote. Among all voters under 65, Barack won over 50% of the vote. (18-24: 65%, 25-29: 70%, 30-39: 62%, 40-49: 61%, 50-64: 51%). Only among those 65 and older, Hillary beat Barack 40%-32%. Barack won 54% of […]
Hillary vs. Barack, part 1,345
I found the following videos from fromer Chicago NOW president Lorna Brett Howard to be riveting. Up until just a couple weeks ago, she was a strong Hillary Clinton supporter. Active in pro-choice groups, Ms. Howard had previously hosted fundraisers for Hillary, yet she is now advocating strongly on behalf of Barack. Take a moment […]
Around and around we go
I honestly have no idea how Super Tuesday will play out. Given that many of the Super Tuesday states (for Democrats, at least – no clue on the Republican side) are states in which delegates are allocated proportionally (instead of winner take all), it seems likely that both Barack and Hillary will pick up a […]
What a long, strange trip it’s been
Nine years and a few days ago, I found Google. At the time, Erik Heels and I co-authored an online legal research column for Law Journal Extra, and periodically reviewed sites that we thought legal researchers should know about. One of the things I admire about Erik is the fact that he does a good […]
We sold the house
Anyone following me on Twitter saw my update yesterday that Robin and I have signed paperwork on an offer we received Tuesday night. We’re elated. But there’s some backstory that’s interesting to share.
Apparently the editor of the Naperville Sun still reads my blog, and when he saw my post about the house still being on […]
Obama is a man of substance
In the comments to my last post, Allison (a good friend who lives in NH) shared her thoughts on why she thinks Hillary won:
1) I think Obama overplayed his hand. Sorry Rick, but we’re not big on vague here, and he wasn’t selling anything specific. Yes, people want change, and they want hope, but they […]
Thank you Iowa!
Wow.
(Click through if you can’t see this in your reader.)
We were driving back from San Diego, listening to CNN on XM Radio (my kids were thrilled). When Blitzer called Iowa for Barack I nearly drove off the road. I’m elated.
Quickly, here’s my predictions for NH: Barack Wins, Clinton places second (but a distant second). On […]
Insanely great Naperville house, now even cheaper
Yes, that’s right: I still own a house in Illinois. No, I’m not happy about it. Yes, I want to sell it to you. The price is now down over 20% from where we listed it in May – and we were underpriced for our neighborhood back then!
Details are all over at the realtor’s site. […]
Three days away
In less than 72 hours, we’ll know the results of the Iowa caucus. Iowans will have made their choice, and they will set in motion a series of events that will result in the Democrats picking our nominee. I’ve been unabashed in my support of Barack Obama from day one: indeed, I wrote on this […]
