New DB blog

Since it seems like I am inclined to talk about politics in broad sense of the word these days more than about other things in my life, I created a new blog to conduct that activity:

Florida, Michigan Democrats

Unless there is new voting in Florida and Michigan, which itself would not be 100% just, in my view, becuase of the changed dynamics of the contest, there is no way to make things right for Florida voters who voted or were to vote in Florida and Michigan primaries.

Due to the application of Democratic Party rules of conduct of these primaries, votes of those who voted in Florida and Michigan primaries are not to count. Then there were also those voters who did not vote at all, because they were told that their votes would not count.

I fail to see how this situation can be righted without hurting someone in the process.

The "dream ticket"

Obama-Edwards! It just occurred to me today, dah! There has been so much buzz about the Obama-Clinton dream ticket when it is obvious for a variety of reasons already discussed by all the pundits around that the chances of it are slim and plus that it would bring more problems to the campaign than would it resolve defficiencies.

The obvious dream ticket is really -- Obama-Edwards. I have not heard this combination talked about, but it seems to me really a winning duo. Both are young, lawyers, with good record in public service, good looking, with a vision. One is a true Southerner, the other an internationalist, both highly visible and recognizable. What more do we want? Do they get along? I don't know. But, I hope this pair runs together and wins in the Fall.
