"It is during our most challenging and uncertain moments that our Nation's commitment to due process is most severely tested; and it is in those times that we must preserve our commitment at home to the principles for which we fight abroad." Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, Hamdi v. Rumsfeld - 2004

Guns easily kill people
The mayor's wife was close to my father and was actually with my father when he died, during a charity fund-raising walk. These angry, crazy people, armed with their objects that are designed to kill, are our suicide bombers.

L.A. County stops counting votes...
Hi Bloggers,
The Los Angeles County Registrar of Voters is refusing to count all of the votes cast for Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton on Election Day. I just signed a petition from the Courage Campaign demanding that the Registrar count every single vote.
Will you join me? Click here to sign the petition.

Gore to endorse?
My own opinion is that Gore will not endorse Obama, as much as he might wish to, until the Primaries' state-by-state races are closed and the Convention is next. And only then if it looks like the Clintons are playing dirty (which is likely if there's a tie).
Thanks to the L.A. Obama listserve member, E. Trinidad.

This is very, very scary.

Fox Loves Hillary
I hear that Hillary has invited Obama to debate on Fox. Cough. It's amazing how Hillary will talk the talk about "fighting" the right wing and then capitulate to Faux News!! What fighter?
And beware of every right-winger downplaying Obama's surge and holding up Hillary as the front-runner. Pat Buchanan was on MSNBC last night doing everything he could to make Hillary's wins look bigger and more significant (he screwed himself by overemphasizing the importance of Hillary winning Missouri--rich!!).
Right-wingers want to run against Hillary. They are TERRIFIED of Obama's ability to draw Independents and Republicans, and frankly, LOTS and LOTS of new and especially young voters. They want less voters, not more.

Delegate Watch
Please let me know if you find a better tally. Thanks!
Update 1: Hmmm, the numbers don't match CNN yet. But this is very interesting, note that Super Delegates are included in the totals.
And this MSNBC count!!!
Thanks to L.A. Obama supporter Ms. J. Sullivan (listserve).
