Here are the latest polls across the board.
Clinton appears to be leading primaries in most states, with 2-4 exceptions. On the caucus side, Obama is rumored to be doing better.
California seems to be trending heavily Hilary, at least according to SurveyUSA.
Overall, a fairly mixed bag, with Obama still an underdog. We'll see how it plays out.
Thought since I haven't posted here in a while I would provide an interesting link. I always thought that when the media talks about how the people of this country are in debt its seems a little off. Well here is the proof in the pudding. The only issue I have with this article is that it only deals with Credit Card Debt. I think to have a better picture of the average Americans financial situation the article should have also brought up house debt, student loans, car debt, you know the major ones. Then a person could get a feel of how they perhaps come up with some of the other stats the media throws around. Of course that wasn't the point of the article to begin with so perhaps the author will follow up with something about that.
A well-dressed man informed me at Cosi, while waiting for his salad to be made, that "the list of indictments coming down today is HUGE!" My ears perked up and I responded "Oh!"
He said "Yeah, Orrin Hatch was listed."
I replied, "Well, Orrin Hatch is crazy."
His response? "Of course he is. So is Danny Glover!"
"Really? Danny Glover?"
"Yes, of course! Danny Glover is at the center of the whole thing. He's really behind it all..."
I mumbled some platitudes, paid for my meal and left. Bizarre.
werkz review: not worth it.
Tilda and I hit Cork last night, a new trendy wine-bar near 14th and S St. The interior design was unique, with faux-vacuum tube lighting and a mix of DC history and modern sensibility. The hostess was taking a break when we walked in, which was confusing as guests were piling up without a clear exit, but eventually we were seated.
The trouble? The wine. Why go to a wine bar for wine that tastes, well, ordinary? The food, sadly, also didn't measure up to Vinoteca's fare, which was disappointing, considering the latter was far cheaper and has much worse decor.
In the end, if you're on 14th and you want some wine in a cool, interesting designed space, save your money and your pride and hit St. Ex, which has calmed down recently to allow more breathing room upstairs.
Was dreadfully boring.
For a President who's run roughshod over Congress for years...it was lacking any sort of grand vision. The state of our nation, it seems, is not great.
This cartoon is amusing, but the point is not entirely valid. Let's check the results from Obama's huge SC win
About seven in 10 white voters said they would be satisfied if Obama became the nominee; eight in 10 African Americans would be happy with Clinton as the party's choice. But here, too, there were differences in levels of enthusiasm. More than eight in 10 black voters said they would be "very satisfied" with Obama as the party's nominee, but 38 percent of white voters made the same statement.
So at 70% of voters would be happy if the other person was nominated. That sounds about right: there are always a few crazies on both sides, but that should increase as the nomination rolls around. The GOP side...well, I don't feel is the same at all.
