Today at the Republican National Convention, as the Ron Paul Delegates were taking a picture in front of the model White House inside the Convention Center, they were surrounded by Secret Service which proceeded to search the bags of all the delegates. They took any and everything related to Ron Paul including signs, buttons, videos, slim jims, cards, even books

Lawyers from the Democratic Party have decided that the DNC will only be able to seat half of the delegates from Michigan and Florida when it meets this coming Saturday. This comes as a blow to the Clinton campaign, as this means that she will now not be able to pick up enough delegates to significantly halt Sen. Obama's seemingly unstoppable momentum. While the Obama campaign itself has said th
As expected, when the Rules Committee met today to decide how to seat the delegates from Michigan and Florida, they decided that only half the delegates will be seated. This means that Senator Clinton gained only 24 delegates overall on Obama, not nearly as many as she was hoping for. This battle is quickly becoming ridiculous, and it is time for Senator Clinton to drop out of this race, for fear

In a possible surprise GOP rule switch in Utah, things could get interesting in the Republican race. State convention might release Romney delegates from voting for Mitt. This means Ron Paul could benefit. It is very evident now that the Ron Paul Revolution will not go quietly, as, of course, it has nowhere to go other than onwards. As they have done in Nevada, Minnesota and elsewhere, a number of Utah Ron Paul backers are trying to get elected today as delegates to the Republican National Convention where, under a proposed rule change, they could be free to vote for whomever they want.I get the impression most city slickers, TV pundits and politico pollsters haven't bothered to follow the Republican race in detail, so these things are not publicised to any great extent.

Puttin' the smack down... via CNN Political Ticker: An increasingly firm Howard Dean told CNN again Thursday that he needs superdelegates to say who they’re for – and “I need them to say who they’re for starting now.” “We cannot give up two or three months of active campaigning and healing time,” the Democratic National Committee Chairman told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer. “We’ve got to know who our nominee is.” After facing criticism for a mostly hands-off leadership style during much of the primary season, Dean has been steadily raising the rhetorical pressure on superdelegates. He said Thursday that roughly 65 percent of them have made their preference plain, but that more than 300 have yet to make up their minds

The Seguin Gazette has the story on the Guadalupe County Convention:
Democratic officials estimated that more than 600 delegates, alternate delegates and guests attended the convention, which lasted well into the afternoon Saturday.
One Guadalupe County sheriff’s deputy said the Bingo crowd on Thursday nights usually fills up the Lions hall parking lot, but “they don’t fill up the road like this.” He was referring to the automobiles that were parked along the shoulder of F.M. 78, stretching from the railroad tracks to a couple of hundred yards toward Seguin during Saturday’s convention.
“This is a wonderful turnout. There are so many people involved,” Stella Ozuna, a convention delegate from Seguin, said as she observed the hall filling up with Democrats. The Ozunas, who w
As I've said before, don't you just love democracy! In Missouri, those who were rash enough to vote for Ron Paul are being given the runaround by the party bosses. What's the point of having a caucus, if some armtwister tells you you voted the wrong way?The Paul campaign believes that a handful of GOP officials are playing machine politics and breaking their own rules to disenfranchise Paul supporters. “The Republican party is in trouble and needs more participants in 2008, not less,” said campaign manager Lew Moore. “It makes no sense for Missouri party leaders to exclude and marginalize the new activists they badly need to work at every level this fall.” Quite so!I thought I would publicise this bit of intrique as good American democracy!

Ouch! That'll leave a mark..... Via Ben Smith's Blog - Politico.com: A pretty stunning gain out of Iowa for Obama, where an Iowa Democratic official confirmed to me just now that the county convention results will translate into a 25-14-6 edge for Obama over Clinton and Edwards. That's a gain of nine for the Illinois Senator over the results reported in January, while Clinton lost one delegate. (Edwards lost eight). It's a welcome -- and meaningful -- gain for Obama on a tough weekend, and a result both of his long, hard work in Iowa and of a situation in which Clinton's attacks seem to be turning off party activists. Let's see Hillary try and spin that one. But knowing her, like I do, she will try and put some sort of silly Political Spin on it. This should be an int
Barack Obama has secured more delegates from Iowa, 2 and a half months after the vote there.The 14 votes that John Edwards picked up in Iowa have been up for grabs, with 9 one them to come to Obama.This takes Obama's total from the State to 25, compared with 14 for Hillary Clinton. 6 Delegates are still stciking with John Edwards.
Obama has had a lead over Clinton among pledged delegates, leaving Clinton to hope for the support of enough super delegates to give her the nomination. Clinton picked up an early lead among super delegates before the primaries began, allowing her to claim an overall delegate lead during the early weeks of the race. As [...]
Chris Bowers is convinced we’re headed to the convention:
In other words, a close look at the delegate math indicates that there is a good chance we will either head to the convention without a presumptive nominee, or head to the convention with a barely presumptive nominee. At the very least, we are headed all the way through June. A question we might want to start asking is how many delegates Obama needs to have in order to get Clinton to concede before the convention in either June or July. Personally, I don’t think that number is 2,208, since they will almost certainly believe they can flip a handful of superdelegates. The actual number might be something like 2,240 or even higher, which would make the delegate flipping task virtually impossible. Other than losing a state l
A massive impasse exists between the Obama and Clinton camps on the issue of how to seat delegations from Michigan and Florida at the Democratic Convention.Florida and Michigan held their primaries earlier than usual in January, and had their delegations stripped by the DNC for breach of the rules.Both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton want the delegations seated - there is no division on that point.But Clinton wants the results on the January primaries in Michigan and Florida to be be official. The problem is - Obama didnt campaign in either state, and wasnt on the ticket.At the time, all candidates accepted that the delegations wouldnt be seated, with Clinton going so far as to say that the Mihcigan Primary was "meaningless". Obama, out of respect for other states, removed his name from t
So, despite losing Texas and Ohio, Obama is still has his lead prior to Super Tuesday II. This means there is no way either candidate will get enough pledged candidates to win the nomination. Even if Michigan and Florida revote, it's unlikely that either candidate will win enough pledged candidates.That means it's coming down to the Super Delegates. Will they really vote for Hillary Clinton? Could you imagine the democrats alienating the black vote like that? It's unlikely they'll do that. So what is Hillary hoping for?
Former Democratic Presidential hopeful and Connecticut Senator, Chris Dodd has proposed that the fairest approach to the delegate question in Florida and Nevada would be to split them 50/50 between Obama and Clinton."Split up the delegations, let 'em each have 50 percent of it and move on," he said. "You don't have to go back over and re-do these things." For the record, Dodd is backing Obama. Something tells me that Clinton won't be accepting this proposal.
The candidate that out spends their opponent usually wins. If that statement were true Mitt Romney would be the Republican nominee and Rudy Giuliani would have more than one delegate. Romney spent over $87 million dollars in his attempt to be the Republican nominee and lost. Obama and Clinton are still battling it out to be the Democratic nominee. Obama and Clinton have both spend over $100 million dollars so far in this campaign and neither of them have locked up the nomination.When we look at all of the spending during this campaign it seems that it is getting out of control. Here is a breakdown of how much each candidate has spent through the end of January and how many delegates they were awarded: Republicans: John McCain Money Spent: $48,518,6

Miami, Florida January, 30, 2008Hillary Clinton wins on Super Tuesday in Florida. The former president’s first lady took a commanding lead over Barack Obama, taking 50% of the voters. The DNC had decided that Democratic candidates would not be able to campaign in the state of Florida for the primary. This has lead to a lopsided victory for Hillary Clinton. Her camp states the victory as a big head of steam going into the next primary, while Obama's group states that, since there weren’t any national delegates, we see what happened as a tie.

In what can only be described as the most hypocritical act of the campaign Hillary Clinton has demanded that Michigan and Florida delegates be reinstated.

African Diaspora Delegates Explore Jewel on Bahamian Heritage:
By THEA RUTHERFORD, Guardian National Correspondent -
Nassau, Bahamas:
We arrive in Exuma on a silver-tinted morning with looming clouds. The sun is in hiding; puddles of water spot the runway at the little airport signaling an early rain. Side-stepping the puddles we walk towards the covered path on the side of the airport and into the welcomes of a group of smiling women — representatives from the Exuma Tourist Office.
A group of girls, the youngest of them looking about three years old, stand in two rows dressed in black leotards, head scarves and flowing skirts of aquamarine and yellow. They begin to dance as we stand watching in surprise and pleasure. The sun comes out, splitting the pillow of clouds with its rays. The sleepy flight is forgotten. We're in Exuma — the land of the "Rolling Hills."
"You all must be a ray of sunshine 'cause the sun hasn't come out all week," says one of the women from the tour
No programming language is perfect. In spite of the many strengths of C#, there are still a few gaping holes, including generics variance and property delegates.
A delegate is a reference to a method. Unfortunately, C# currently does not support property delegates, in other words, a reference to a property. But there are a few workarounds, one of which involves anonymous methods.
An anonymous method is a new feature in C# 2.0 that enables you to define an anonymous (nameless) method called by a delegate. Anonymous methods are perfect when there is no need for multiple targets, and the code is relatively short and simple. They also come in handy when you need a delegate to a property.

What are events?Events are simply signals sent by an action. Clicking of a mouse button, pressing of a key are all events. In GUI's events are occurred and we have some action which follows an event, such an action is called an event handler or a method that handles an event is called an event handler. Publishing and Subscribing:In C#, an object can publish events to which other classes can subscribe. The publishing class triggers an event to which the subscribed class respond by handling those events. So when a button is clicked the subscribers are notified about the click. The advantage of publish/subscribe is that any number of classes can be notified when an event is raised. The subscribing classes do not need to know how the event occurs, and the event itself does not need to know what the event handler is going to do.Events and Delegates:Events in C# are implemented using delegates. The publishing class defines a delegate that the subscribing classes must implement. When an e
One of the most important feature in delegates is multicasting. In multicasting you can create an invocation list, or a series of methods assigned to a delegate by the + or += operator. Methods can removed from the list using the – or -= operator. In case of methods returning a value, the last method in the chain that returns the value will become the return value of the entire chain. So, to be on the safer side void methods must be used when multicasting. delegate int calculator(int a,int b); //Declare a delegate. class Program { class Cal { //Two public non static methods. public int sum(int a, int b) { return a + b; } public int multi(int a, int b) { return a * b; } } static void Main(s
In my last post about Delegates, I used a static class method as a delegate, but today I'm going to assign a non static class method to a delegate.delegate int calculator(int a,int b); //Declare a delegate. class Program { class Cal { //Two public non static methods. public int sum(int a, int b) { return a + b; } public int multi(int a, int b) { return a * b; } } static void Main(string[] args) { //Instance of Class Cal Cal c1 = new Cal(); //Declare a reference to a delegate calci calculator calci = c1.sum; //Inovoke sum via delegate calci int temp = calci(10, 20); Console.WriteLine("10 + 20
A delegate is declared using the keyword delegate. The general form of a delegate declaration is:Delegate ret-type name ( parameter list)Where ret-type is the type of the value returned by the methods that the delegate will be referring to. Name is the name of the delegate. A delegate can refer to only those methods whose signature exactly match as that specified in the delegate declaration. class Program { //Delegate shutdown declared. public delegate void Shutdown(); class CurrentProcess { public static void endCurrentProcess() { Console.WriteLine("Current process closed"); } } class BackGroundProcess { public static void endBackGroundProcess() { Console.WriteLine("Bac
What are delegates?If you are familiar with C/C++, in C# a delegate is similar to a function pointer. "A delegate is a pointer to a method". Is delegate a method or a class?Delegates are implemented as classes derived from System.MulticastDelegate which is derived from the base class System.Delegate. But when you create an instance of a delegate, what you create is also referred to as a delegate. Understanding delegates:A delegate looks and behaves like a normal method when called. However, delegates can refer to different methods at runtime. How does the delegate refer to a method?From my previous posts, reference is nothing but a memory address. E.g. when a reference to an object is created, actually the address of the object is stored. Similarly, every method has a physical location in memory. Delegates store the address of the methods. Thus, a delegate refers to a method.Delegates can be used to refer different methods during the runtime of a program. This is really important fea

By virtue of a billion-Baht expansion plan, the Pattaya Exhibition and Convention Hall (PEACH) will increase its capacity to 8,000 delegates from the current 5,800 by March 2008
Already one of the main convention venues in Thailand, the new, extended facility will make Pattaya and PEACH the destination of choice in the global congress market. Work commenced on the extension to PEACH in August 2006 and the project is scheduled for completion in March 2008.
Mrs. Panga Vathanakul, Managing Director of the Royal Cliff Beach Resort and PEACH, said in a statement that the expansion programme costing around one billion Baht (approx. US$30.4 million) would help the venue to facilitate large scale events that were currently unable to consider PEACH or were going to outgrow the existing facility.
As part of the expansion plan, nine new, flexible breakout rooms, with capacities ranging from 50 to 500 will complement the existing nine Pattaya Rooms. A further 1,600 sq m of reception and lobby spac

"Sometimes if one is playing better than the other it is sensible for the one who is playing really well to take it. Although I told Louis if he needed one for his hat-trick he should take it."
