...they now stand, the results in those states were far from a perfect representation of popular will-a point the Obama campaign has made repeatedly. Both states, looking for more influence in the nominating process, held their votes before the Feb. 5 date allowed under party rules, despite a declaration by the Democratic National Committee that it would take away their convention delegates if they did so. (The Republican Party also penalized Florida and Michigan, but took away only half their delegates.) As a result of the DNC's warning, many Democrats chose not to vote-or to cast their...
...expected back in London over this Easter weekend, as a private tourist, accompanied by his wife. If he does stand in line for attractions such as the Tower or the giant wheel known as the London Eye, he's unlikely to be pestered by many Britons. Although gripped by the battle for the Democratic nomination, public interest in the Republican's presumptive nominee seems low.

The guy genuinely wants to abolish the Federal Reserve and start circulating gold again...

In a New York Times op-ed article this week, Michigan Senator Carl Levin and Debbie Dingell, a Michigan member of the DNC, pointed out that one of the perennially pampered primary states, New Hampshire, also broke newly established party rules last year by defensively moving its own primary to an earlier date - and the DNC allowed it. Even discounting that apparent hypocrisy, Florida Democrats insist that the moves by their state and Michigan should have indicated...
