Hillary won!

Hillary makes a comeback. Sen. Hillary Clinton won Pennsylvania's primary on Tuesday, having a 10-point lead over Sen. Barack Obama. Now Clinton has a total of 1,589 delegates and Obama leads with 1,724 delegates. Clinton's camp said it raised $10 million on Wednesday.
If you count Michigan and Florida's votes, Clinton is ahead in the popular votes. But Obama's name wasn't on the Michigan ballot...so how fair is that?

To pee or not to pee

John Hartley is running for a City Council position (from district no. 3) against five other men. He is by far the most well known ... but he wishes that he'd have gotten the publicity some other way.
On March 27, while he was door-to-door campaigning in a Kensington neighborhood, he "had to take a leak." This lead to his arrest.
Two women say they saw Hartley, 65, urinate into a cup in his truck and then place a T-shirt over his lap and masturbate. They called the cops and Hartley was arrested. He pleaded no contest to misdemeanor lewdness. He does not have to register as a sex offender, but his sentence is a fine of $500 and being placed on three years' probation. He has also lost his job as a San Diego Unified School District substitute teacher.
Hartley sent out a mailer on April 15. He said that he apologizes, he made a mistake and "It all started because I had to take a leak." He claims that the women made a mistake about his gestures, because he said all he was doing was making sure he wouldn't soil his pants- not masturbate.
He served on the San Diego City Council from 1989 to 1993. The election is June 3.


I wonder:
Will people vote for a man who can't even be a substitute teacher?
Could two women really make that big of a mistake about what they saw?
Did Hartley receive special treatment from the law enforcement and court?
Would you vote for him?
Will he ever work in politics again?
Is it that hard to go drive to a bathroom?

158 would help

Pennsylvania has a lot of delegates up for grabs: 158 to be exact. According to a telephone poll conducted yesterday in a Rasmussen Report that came out today, Sen. Hillary Clinton is still beating Sen. Barack Obama by 7 percentage points. Clinton currently has 49 percent of the vote and Obama has 44 percent. She will most likely win the majority of delegates in Pennsylvania. Democratic voters in the state vote tomorrow, April 22.

Craving that vote

The primary scuffle came and went a couple months ago. People rushed to the polls before the bickering and backstabbing between Sen. Barack Obama and Sen. Hillary Clinton became commonplace.

San Diego wanted to be heard. More than 60 percent of registered voters in San Diego County voted in the primary election.

"That's the highest turnout that we have had for a presidential primary in over 30 years," said Deborah Seiler, San Diego County's registrar of voters.

The majority of San Diegans voted by mail ballots, Seiler said.

Nine million Californians voted on Super Tuesday, beating the previous record number. Perhaps this election has gotten more publicity than in the past. Perhaps Californians recognized the importance and power of voting. Perhaps they want to implement change in the White House. Perhaps they wanted to make sure some candidates got the boot.

No. 2 is as important as No. 1

Who ever said being the vice president isn't as important as being the president? In this past administration, Vice President Dick Cheney showed that he was just as powerful and influential as (if not more than) President George W. Bush. So who says that the next president's v.p. won't be just as influential toward his or her decisions?

Sens. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton have already made passes at each other about the possibility of them taking the other as their v.p.. But Clinton's was sincere, saying that their joint ticket would be "unstoppable," while Obama turned her down.

According to April 1, a Gallup poll showed that more people would like to see Obama as Clinton's v.p., instead of Clinton being Obama's v.p. Only 42 percent of people polled during the end of March said they'd like to see Clinton as Obama's v.p. compared to 58 percent of people who said they'd like to see Obama as Clinton's v.p.

Sen. John McCain has also got to find his No. 2 man. Or woman. A flock of rumors swept through the party over the weekend, suggesting that Condoleezza Rice is active in McCain's campaign and is considering running as his v.p.

McCain said that he had "missed those signals," when talking about Rice's presumed interest in being v.p. on Sunday. But then Tuesday, Rice made an announcement that she looks forward to voting, not running for office and then going back to Stanford.

I wonder:
Could a black woman become popular enough to have Republicans vote for her, even if she is Bush's right-hand person?
Would the Republican party be bold enough as to introduce a person who's not a white male as the v.p. running mate as a vote-booster?
Would McCain be willing to have a diverse person as his running mate?

The bumpy road to Pennsylvania

The battle for Pennsylvania is on. According to a Rasmussen Report that printed on April 1, Sen. Hillary Clinton currently has a 5 percent lead over Sen. Barack Obama for voters in the state. During the last week of March, Clinton had a 12 percent lead over Obama, having 49 percent.
Obama is endorsed by Penn. Sen. Bob Casey (the other Senator is a Republican). If Obama wins this Pennsylvania primary (on Tuesday, April 22), he could win gain enough delegates to solidify the Democratic nomination.
Along the bumpy road to Pennsylvania, Clinton and Obama have been publicizing each other's dirt. Meanwhile, Sen. John McCain is currently traveling the country, going to receptions and rallies, and making thoughtful considerations about his vice presidential pick.
