Feeling the Fallout

Geraldine Ferraro has stepped down. After verbalizing an astute observation on her part regarding Barack Obama's aspirations, Geraldine has decided to step down from her position in the campaign. She served as an unpaid "Honorary New York Leadership Council Chair," on Hillary's finance committee. I guess this is the latest round in the tag-team resignation match between the two camps. I believe the first happened last week after Hillary was branded a "Monster."
Elsewhere in New York, Client #9 has resigned. It's about time.

Worst of all though, The Baylor University Lady Bears basketball team went down in flames in the Big 12 quarter-finals. This is the first time they have lost in the first round and the first time that a #2 seed has lost in the first round. Firsts are not that great all the time.

Politics 101

You know, when I started this blog I told myself, "Self, I'm not going to make this political." I imagine that I've already made it political once or twice already. Well, here I go again.

What is it with the Democrats? The candidate in the delegate lead has been offered the VP slot by the candidate in second place. Well, well, well. To no surprise #1 pretty much declined the offer from #2. Not only does he decline, but he mocks her.
Now another prominent Democrat has suggested that perhaps Mr. Obama has only made as far as he has because his skin color. It seems that this same prominent Democrat has had this problem before.
Now the Democrats face the unenviable task of deciding what to do about the delegates in Michigan and Florida. If they count the delegates in Florida, look out. Who's going to pay for it? Who's going to vote? How is it going to take place? Good questions. Time will tell.
On top of all this, Ralph Nader is in the race again. Yippee!
I thought after the Texas and Ohio primary all of this would be over. Sounds like now it's not even close to being over. But then maybe it is close after Saturday's Wyoming victory for Barack and his Mississippi win yesterday.
