Screw NC and Indiana, Lets Go To Guam

Ok I am officially a terrible blogger. I blame computer issues and my newfound hobby of baking (If you were wondering, no matter how long you spend perfectly crafting and painting gum paste limes for your margarita cupcakes, they will still melt in the fridge).

Anyway, there has been a lot going on lately. Between the guy that kidnapped his daughter and had seven kids/grandkids, the dolphin dying at Discovery Cove, the DC madam dying and the Myanmar Cyclone (which is estimated to have killed 10,000 people), a lot of interesting things have been going on in the news lately.

My favorite recent news story was the Guam Caucus on Saturday, which wasn't even really a caucus, but that didn't stop Obama from gaining another victory, by a margin of eight votes. No no, not 8,000, or 800, or even 80, but eight.

Truly a hard fought battle. And by hard fought, I mean both candidates aired an inordinate amount of ads in Guam leading up to the "caucus," only for things to basically stay the same. Guam only gets 8 representatives, each candidate received four, and each candidate only gets one half of a vote. So each candidate got 2 more delegates, campaign dollars well spent.

Guam also has 5 superdelegates, which seems like a lot for a country that I didn't even know got to vote for the nominees and does not vote in the presidential election in November.

The Democratic Party Is Slow

Dean: Bickering Democrats May Hurt Party

Howard Dean is shockingly insightful. This cannot be the first time someone in the Democratic Party has thought, “Hey, maybe we should resolve this inter-party bickering and focus on the national election.”

But this is coming from the same guy that tossed the idea of a Florida and Michigan re-vote into the ring without considering the ramifications, the cost, the public outrage; specifically in a state known to have a history of not always counting all its votes.

So, yeah, breaking news everyone, the Great Obama-Clinton Battle of 2008 may hurt the dems chances in the national election, again. Surprise!
