Waiting for My T-shirt

Waiting on the Class of 2oo8

I am absolutely thrilled. Barack Obama will be our next president. It seems that there is already a letter going out that Clinton will suspend her campaign on Saturday and throw her support toward Obama.
It will take a lot of registration drives and hard work to get the turn out, but I feel good about […]

I slept like a baby through last night’s episode of The Endless Primary Show. I couldn’t take any more sadness about Ted Kennedy or China. I have been suffering through this head cold from hell since I got back home from going to Carole Migden’s house party. It started with a sore throat, and […]

The best way not to sit around nervously all day browsing politics blogs all day in anticipation of election returns is to go to the Zoo. While it seems that half the San Francisco Zoo appears to be closed, under construction, or just poorly maintained — I got some exercise with my family and I […]

When national and local politics collide or when Clinton supporters and Obama supporters collide it feels like a B-Sci-fi-flick.
I was invited by Mark Leno’s people to join them for a fund raiser, and I went as an observer as I had not endorsed any candidate (still haven’t).
Prior this event, I read Dick Spotwood’s article about […]

Blogspot is down so I cannot put this up on my Mothermaven Haven site. I think it is important that we settle once and for all that Barack Obama is a Christian and a loyal American. Isn’t it awful that we have to go out of our way to do this in this country?

In what seems like an endless array of debates, primary caucuses and elections, and twists of political punditry and spin, we are faced with yet another primary election in three states plus a Texas Two-Step. A Texas Two-Step refers to the process of a traditional election followed directly by a caucus after the polls close […]

Pan-fried Superdelegate Special
Brad Breithaupt of the Marin IJ reported from the Candidate Forum for State Senate yesterday, that superdelegate Carole Migden polled her opponents on the issue of choosing Clinton or Obama. According to Breithaupt, Leno, Alioto Veronese, and Nation all reminded her that her constituents made it clear they prefer Obama. Leno and Alioto […]

I am really enjoying the discussion I am having with Northbayist about this Superdelegate controversy with Woolsey and in a larger sense. Can I say that for someone who really loves politics, I am having fun with this whole primary. Most of my life primaries felt like we were just going through the motions (I […]

First of all I would love to welcome Northbayist, a new blogger on the North Bay. It is always nice to have more in the neighborhood. Keeps things interesting. It turns out that Northbayist has an answer to my question as to whether Woolsey will vote with her constituents or with Clinton. This is what […]

Our Representative Lynn Woolsey is known for her backbone in her fight against the war in Iraq. Those of us who thought the war […]

Last night I decided to attend the Assembly District 6 Democratic Unity Day over at Howie Center (ie. Marinwood Community Center) to see what all this unity was about. I say that because being on several progressive/democratic forums I have found that there is something a little less than unity going on. Clinton and Obama […]
