Nomination

 With the three remaining candidates for president being so weak, inspiring, and just plain nauseating, it is time to start looking somewhere else, anywhere else. My search has led me here, for starters.  Bob Barr, a former Republican, has announced he is running to become the Libertarian party nominee for president. “My name is Bob Barr and [...]

Nicole, Beauty and Priscilla was slapped with automatic nomination for violating three rules of the Big Brother house.According to the official rule book, housemates cannot communicate without being heard. This included mouthing of words and whispering, both of which were committed by the three girls when they were discussing Shy’s sleep talking. On top of this, they also asked Shy info on the

The 6th set of nominees for eviction on Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition Plus is Nicole, Beauty and Priscilla. They are nominated automatically by Big Brother because they committed violations in the house – mouthing of words, whispering to each other and asking information about the outside world.

Tonight is Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition Plus 6th Nomination Night! Yup, no post for today, we're so busy here because it's Mother's Day! We're having some kinda party... So after one PBB post, here is another one. I wanna take this opportunity to thank "The Buzz" because they featured Mica Ocampo's blog post in their show, and people came searching for the blog of Josef Elizalde's girl

I know I'm not the first, and I won't be the last, but I'm declaring the Democratic nomination fight over. Barack Obama won. We all know the argument: Obama leads in pledged delegates (1,593 to 1,425) Obama leads in superdelegates for the first time (266 to 264) Obama leads the popular vote (15,930,241 to 15,219,684) There are other, less empirical arguments too. As the Carl Hulse and David Herszenhorn point out in the New York Times, party leadership is starting to treat Obama like the nominee as well: Behind the scenes, there were new discussions between Mr. Obama and the party leadership. Senior Democratic officials said he met with Speaker Nancy Pelosi when their paths crossed at Democratic Party headquarters. They had spoken by telephone earlier in the week. Ms. Pelosi and Mrs.

While Hillary Clinton continues to campaign, one thing has become very clear; Barack Obama has won the Democratic nomination for President. I say this not only because every news outlet is reporting the same thing, but that Obama has proven he can overcome pretty much anything thrown at him. All negatives that his opponents have mustered against him, have completely failed to negatively affect his campaign in any way. Sure, many people grew angry and weary at him over the Reverend Wright issue, but during Tuesdays primaries Obama proved he can still get votes. Obama should now set his focus on his Republican opponent, John McCain. Clinton still has a very solid opportunity at being named Obama's Vice-President, although John Edwards or Bill Richardson are they most likely candidates.

One reason I'm really looking forward to Hillary Clinton's (likely) concession, whenever it comes, is that one of the most annoying grammar mistakes I've ever seen will recede somewhat in the public discourse. People, including major bloggers, will simply not stop talking about "the Clinton's." Look: one Clinton + one Clinton = two Clintons. No apostrophe. Even if your document editor puts a red underline underneath the word (as mine is doing right now), ignore it. It's "the Clintons." This crops up with other names too, but people really seem to love to do it with Bill and Hillary Clinton. I'd like to congratulate my fellow Seminal contributors on their mastery of this grammatical concept.

Tuesday night was, for all intents and purposes, the sign that the race to the Democratic nomination has ended.  Barack Obama's strong victory throughout North Carolina and Hillary Clinton's narrow margin of victory in Indiana are enough to presume that there is no real chance for Clinton to wrest the nomination away from the front runner. The popular vote is against her.  The  math is against her. Soon, the Superdelegates will start aligning with Obama.  The rationale for her campaign — electability, momentum, key wins — have dissipated with the numbers from North Carolina.  Now the Clintons are fierce campaigners.  Since Bill Clinton was elected as Attorney General of Arkansas in 1976, the Clintons collectively have lost just one election — the Governorship in 1

Fordham Prof. Paul Levinson: "A great night for anyone who loves to watch politics and election coverage on television - not to mention supporting Barack Obama...Tonight's impressive victory in North Carolina and near-victory in Indiana, added to the states and delegates and popular votes he has already won, make him unbeatable for the nomination."

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Barack Obama swept to victory in the North Carolina primary Tuesday night and declared he was closing in on the Democratic presidential nomination. Hillary Rodham Clinton clung to a narrow Indiana lead, struggling to halt her rival’s march into history. “Tonight we stand less than 200 delegates away from winning the Democratic nomination [...]

Who will be included in the first batch of Nominees for eviction? Is is true that Priscilla will be automatically nominated because she and Valerie talked about the '2 points' they will be giving to Jeriel in case the nomination started?For me this will be the housemates that should be nominated for eviction:1. Linda - i don't know for you, but for me he acts like a b*tch especially in her task if Robi and Josef are real BBF and she always 'make faces' that is too annoying to see on TV.2. Priscilla - i like her at first but her true color is showing now, he like to backbite other people like Jeriel who do nothing bad for her, So the rumors are true that Priscilla has many enemy in her school (Ateneo De Manila University) because of her attitude.3.

America's Most Wanted is currently holding an 'All-Star' contest to award Law Enforcement Officers, Fire Fighters, EMT's, etc., who have gone above and beyond the call of duty. I submitted an All-Star nomination for CMPD Officer Kayvan Hazrati.After I attended the NC -v- Ellerbe trial and heard the details of what happened the day Officer Kayvan Hazrati was shot, I learned the real meaning of 'hero.' Many of the Officers who were there that day are heroes but thankfully they were able to walk away physically unharmed. Officer Hazrati did not.I heard from AMW the following day and was told the Producers needed to review the nomination because the 'heroism' was supposed to have occurred in 2007, and Ofc. Hazrati was shot in 2006. Today, I got the bad news... the Producers declined to accept

The Democratic nomination for President is turning out to be more interesting than a debate featuring the eccentric Mike Gravel. While Gravel's chances of becoming President are slimmer than the odds John Kerry actually makes up his mind, the same cannot be said for Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. With Clinton trailing Obama by a slim margin in the delegate count, people are beginning to wonder what will be done with the delegates that were not awarded during the original Michigan and Florida primaries. Due to the impatience of the state governments in both states, both primaries were moved up and the DNC stripped both states of their delegates. Now, as the delegates from both states appear to be crucial in deciding the Democratic nominee, what will be done? The first option is redo the

New York (Reuters) - Yahoo Inc extended its deadline to nominate board directors, gaining time to seek alternatives or negotiate friendlier terms to a $41.7 billion buyout offer from Microsoft Corp.

The race for the Republican nomination for president is finally over, as Arizona Sen. John McCain secured enough delegates to win the top spot on the ticket."The contest begins tonight," McCain said in his victory speech, referring to the upcoming battle against a still-to-be determined Democratic opponent."I want to thank all of you here and all the Republicans, independents and independent-thinking Democrats, in all parts of the country, who supported our campaign for the nomination and have brought us across the finish line first, an accomplishment that once seemed to more than a few doubters unlikely." Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, who had refused to suspend his campaign, finally called it quits and phoned McCain to inform him of his decision."I extended to him not only my congra

On Tuesday, John McCain won Texas, Ohio, Rhode Island and Vermont. McCain only needed 177 delegates to reach the magic number and give him enough delegates to win the nomination. Tuesday night put McCain over the top with his wins in Ohio and Texas. Shortly after the polls closed in Texas and it was clear McCain had won the nomination, Huckabee called to congratulate McCain. Huckabee conceded his presidential bid at a campaign rally in Texas saying, "Senator McCain has run an honorable campaign, because he's an honorable man." “I am very grateful and pleased to note that tonight, my friends, we have won enough delegates to claim with confidence, humility and a great sense of responsibility that I will be the Republican nominee for president of the United States,” McCain s

Well, we did one hell of a job pushing a true conservative as far as we have. We let it be known that John McCain is simply an unacceptable candidate for a portion of the Republican Party.

Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a nominee. Senator John McCain of Arizona will be the Republican Presidential nominee.McCain faced a rocky road to the nomination. Once the frontrunner and once political dead in the water, McCain went against all odds to make an enormous comeback. Can he go all the way?Word has it that President Bush will officially endorse McCain tomorrow.

Not surprisingly John McCain has officially won the Republican nomination for President of the United States. Delegates earned in Ohio and Texas today have put him over the top. See the break down of vote tally state by state here.

Fracas has little patience these days. Being almost too busy for pants (some of you will know what this means and the rest of you should just ask…) these days, it’s just a little much to ask of a person than to repeatedly try to access the Official Grammy Awards Site to view the list of nominees for the 2008 Grammy Awards, only to find that everyone else and their dog is also trying to do the same thing and therefore every second click throws you back to a white-screen-no-access-check-your-damn-LAN-settings page when you know the only problem is there are too many people all trying to view the same page at the same time. Imagine my surprise then, to actually get in! Hot Damn. Would you think I’m going to deprive the fraccy readers of knowing how many nominations hard-livin’, snort-happy Amy Winehouse received?

The talented Irrfan Khan has been nominated by Film Independent's Spirit Award in the Best Supporting Actor category.Speaking from New York, Irrfan could barely contain his surprise. “Mira Nair got the Gotham Award and I was there to watch this historic moment. Barely 24 hours later comes this announcement about me. The Spirit Awards to me is every bit as prestigious as the Oscars. But unlike the Oscars, they are totally independent and based entirely on merit rather than lobbying. I’m honoured to be alongside Don Cheadle, Frank Langella and Philip Seymour Hoffman (all nominated in the Best Actor category).”Philip is Irrfan’s favourite actor. They met after the Gotham Awards at a party on Monday. “His versatility has always taken my breath away. He started with just two scenes in Scent Of A Woman . Somewhere I identify with him. When I met him, it was a dream come true,” said Irrfan.Uma Thurman, too, interacted with Irrfan at a lunch hosted by th

Despite the criticism they have heaped onto President Bush's attorney general nominee over the past few weeks, Democrats appear to lack the gumption necessary to do everything possible to prevent Michael Mukasey from becoming the country's top cop.read more | digg story

The Senate Judiciary Committee voted on Tuesday to approve the nomination of Michael B. Mukasey as Attorney General, despite opposition from most of the committee’s cowardly Democrats over Mr. Mukasey’s refusal to label an interrogation technique used by CIA as torture. The vote, 11 to 8, with two Democrats joining all of the committee’s Republicans in supporting Mr. Mukasey, all but assured him of final confirmation by the full Senate. The Senate’s Democratic leaders are expected to schedule a vote by next week. The nomination of Mr. Mukasey was almost derailed by his refusal at his confirmation hearings to define as torture the interrogation technique known as waterboarding, which simulates drowning and is reported to have been used by the Central Intelligence Agency on a handful of Qaeda leaders since the Sept. 11 terror attacks. Democrats are not capable of doing what it takes to protect America and win the war on terror. They’re wimps who are more interested in cod

Democrats seem to be lining up in opposition to the nomination of Michael Mukasey as Attorney General. Just a few weeks ago, Mukasey was thought to be breezing through the nomination process. Now? Not so much.Senators Patrick Leahy (D-Vermont), Carl Levin (D-Michigan) and Chris Dodd (D-Connecticut) have all announced their opposition to Mukasey because the nominee refuses to acknowledge the waterboarding is torture (which it is.)I still think Mukasey will be confirmed, but the overwhelmingly confirmation the President wanted is not going to happen now.

When are those Mommy of the Year Awards?  I have another letter of recommendation to support my nomination. Pants crawled into bed with us around 3am last night.  This is a new habit of his, one that I have been unable to break.  I've been unable to break it largely because I haven't tried.  At all.  Look, at 3am I would let a Gila monster crawl into bed with me; I'm too tired to fight it.  But that's not my nomination support.  No, it gets much better. Sometime around 6:30 or so this morning, I vaguely remember Pants waking up and saying he wanted to go into the living room.  I vaguely remember thinking I had better wake up and go with my three year old.  I vaguely remember convincing him to wait for me for a little while longer.  And I vaguely remember giving into his statement that he was really leaving this time, muttering, "I'll be right there..." and then closing my eyes for just one more minute.  I was up pr

A Republican Pro-Abortion CandidateWill Bring About A Third Party Candidate Alarmed at the chance that the Republican party might pick Rudolph Giuliani as its presidential nominee despite his support for abortion rights, a coalition of influential Christian conservatives is threatening to back a third-party candidate in an attempt to stop him.The group making the threat, which came together Saturday in Salt Lake City during a break-away gathering during a meeting of the secretive Council for National Policy, includes Dr. James Dobson of Focus on the Family, who is perhaps the most influential of the group, as well as Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council, the direct mail pioneer Richard Viguerie and dozens of other politically-oriented conservative Christians, participants said. Almost everyone present expressed support for a written resolution that “if the Republican Party nominates a pro-abortion candidate we will consider running a third party candidate.”Read Article...Rud

Michael Scherer reports that many on the religious right are considering a third party campaign should a pro-abortion rights candidate such as Rudy Giuliani win the Republican nomination. This leaves many liberals thrilled with the idea of an easy win, while some liberals such as Ron Beasley are also looking for an independent alternative to the Democratic candidates. I don’t have much hope that this will have a lasting impact. Assuming the Democrats stay away from fringe candidates such as Kucinich, Gravel, and increasingly John Edwards, they should win in 2008 regardless of what the Republicans do. The conservative wing of the Republican Party has intermittently played with challenges to the Republican Party in the past, but this rarely goes anywhere as they realize they have a greater chance for electoral success by concentrating on fighting for control of the GOP. On paper a Giuliani Republican Party looks good and I might support a socially liberal Republican over many Democ

WASHINGTON -- The Republican National Committee approved plans Friday to change its presidential nomination process for 2008, awarding the nomination to the candidate who personally kills Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Under previous rules, the nomination process involved a long, expensive, and protracted series of primary elections and caucuses and the collection of delegates, culminating in a little-heeded national convention. According to the new rules approved today, the Republican Party will bestow its presidential nomination upon the candidate who is first able to personally invade Iran, disable or destroy all of the country’s nuclear facilities, and assassinate the president – alone and with no assistance from any other person or entity.“This is a vast improvement to the old way of doing things,” said RNC co-chair Sen. Mel Martinez, R-Fla. “It eliminates the need for candidates to be ‘appealing’ or pass any arbitrary litmus test on social issues.”“Wh

flangracneig pgoramian For anybody who loves football, rather than some whingy Azzuri lowlifes who’s form of “Football” is “hit as hard as you can on the pitch, go down quicker than a Brentford Prostitute on the Pitch”, last night’s result was brilliant. Manchester United 7, Roma 1. This is the Champions League. This is the best of the best of football. The greatest teams in the world compete in the latter stages. By and large, the 8 teams that were left in the competition at 7pm tonight were amongst the best teams in Europe. And Manchester United beat Roma worse than they beat Burton Albion a few years back. It was utter bliss to watch. You can’t help feel that Karma was helping last night. Roma (and Italian Football) have embarrassed Manchester United (and English Football) by sullying the majority of honest fans, whilst protecting it’s heavy handed police force. Even my Liverpool supporting mate wanted Manchester United to win. It&rsqu

Call it religious irony, but on the day when everyone is supposed to celebrate a new spiritual life, the housemates just seem to have lost a great deal of spirit. And this third nomination night no one was to be spared, as the nominations would be based on violations. Holy Week brought bad tidings for everyone in the PBB house. Because of their numerous activities and daily tasks, the housemates were not able to pay attention to their weekly task – and Big Brother made them pay. He declared that because they were not able to reach the 500-egg quota, they have failed the weekly task. Big Brother also mentioned that the housemates did not wear their uniforms properly, and also forgot to hop around as they wore it. So this leaves them with P2,400 for the next week, less sixty percent. Mickey quickly told the housemates that in the spirit of Holy Week, they should have been able to prioritize and note which activity they had to pay close attention to. The others noted that the other
