Hey, Voronwë, doesn't your post belong in Obama Phenomenon ? ;) :D I suppose you are a part of Obama's delegate math! Yeah, it probably does. But unless you feel strongly about it, I'm not going to move it. This probably should go in that thread, too, but I'm already typing here and arguably this i...

Just got back from voting. It felt good to vote for someone for president who I actually feel good about voting for, and who actually has a viable chance of winning. It was interesting that Maria Shriver (Schwarzenegger's wife, and niece of JFK, for those who don't know) endorsed Obama. Apparently, ...

This is turning into a very interesting discussion. Lord M, would you be willing to consider editing the title to reflect the broader focus? I don't think that it needs to be split off, but there may be some people who are not specifically interested in talking (or reading) about Suharto, who would ...

I wonder what affect, if any, the Giants victory will have on the NY primary. There is going to be a massive parade tomorrow. Will that lower voter turnout? If so, who would that help, Obama or Clinton? I suspect that it might help Obama, because his supporters are more enthusiastic, though perhaps ...

I saw about half of it. It was remarkably civil. I thought Sen. Clinton came across very well. But (not surprisingly) I thought that Sen. Obama came across brilliantly. And based on the reactions of the crowd, that is how others reacted to. But I haven't seen any analysis yet. One thing that I found...

Faramond, I think your suggestion makes a lot of sense. Which is probably why it will never happen. ;) :roll: I've seen a lot of speculation that Edwards withdrawal was related to his wife's health situation. He really did have the opportunity to be a player. But perhaps he got tired of being the th...

Thanks for that cogent description of the confusing world of delegate counting. I agree that it makes sense to have it in a separate thread. It might get a little confusing, but if everyone takes some care in keeping discussion of the merits of the candidates and the results of the contests in the o...

I agree with soli. Regardless of how we got into this mess, we are in it. Recrimations may have some place (particularly in regards to avoiding making the same kind of mistake in the future), but that doesn't mean that we don't have to make hard choices in dealing with the situation. soli, I mostly ...
