Memorial Day in California

May 27th, 2008 admin

We just got back from California tonight… made great time home (only about 6.5 hours with an hour stop outside of Palm Springs).

Time for bed, and at some time I’ll have to write another post.

In the meantime, check out some of my photos from the weekend [HERE]

Get-Aways

Yay!!!  Over the past week we’ve planned two trips!

Rocky Point in June for a few days and N’awlins for 4th of July.

Ok, July in New Orleans may be weather risky, but it should be fun!

Michigan - Florida?

May 15th, 2008 admin

Clinton is claiming that her next miles stone is June 4th when the rules committee figure out the delegates mess in Florida and Michigan.

My personal thought is that the rules are the rules and neither states should be counted with any favored apportionment… my first thought is to split the delegates 50-50 between Obama and Clinton from both of the states.

But out of this whole story with various arguments, it seems to me that the best compromise is…

In Florida:
Split the delegates as to their primary vote percentages; 50% to Clinton and 33% to Obama

In Michigan:
Split the delegates 50 - 50 since not all candidates were on the ballots

While not the re-vote that Hillary wanted, it’s still allows for a sensible compromise to the situation.

Eh… either way, Barack will still prevail!
