Now NYC

Many of the primaries of now come and gone. After going through a crazy battle for the nomination, it looks like Obama is going to take it! Finally!! There were many ups and downs for both campaigns, but Obama was able to stay strong and pull it off.

I followed the election and the results closely through February, March and some of April, but I was getting tired of hearing the same thing from the reporters and news commentators. The fight for the nomination, just went on too long. Yeah, Clinton pulled off some upsets down the stretch, but really, she’s been down and out for a good couple months now.

It’s time to move on… or move forward with the election. The conventions are coming up soon, and the Dems need to have a clear vision and objective before that. McCain has been out schmoozing for months now, while Clinton and Obama duked it out.

The bigger question now: Does Obama take Clinton as his running mate? All signs (and our studio pool) say yes. However, while I think he will do this, I would much rather see him take Edwards or Governor Kathleen Sebelius (of Kansas) as his running mate. Edwards brings a dedicated following from the Green movement and would fit well into a VP roll. Sebelius, a democrat in a very red state, would help further unite the Midwestern region and may even help Obama pull in some serious votes from traditionally red Midwest states.

In the coming days, we’ll have our answer.
For now,
S

Oh how I wish I was there. They say about 25,000 where on Mass St. once the game finished.

Dear Roy,

I’ve waited 5 years for this match up. Kansas and UNC. I knew we would have our revenge someday - and get a chance to kick your ass for leaving Kansas… and yes, it was well worth the wait. If you are wondering what to do now I offer this advice: Go home Roy… go HOME! You lost by 18 to us - there is nothing else left to do, but for you to pack yourself up, and go HOME!

Adequately vindicated,

Here’s my bracket for the tourney… Lets go Kansas! Click it for a full size.

Yes, they did it again. Kansas took down Texas Sunday afternoon to win the Big 12 post season. The Hawks now move on the Tournament as a 1 seed in the Midwest bracket. If you missed the game, you sure missed a good one. I don’t know that I have seen this Kansas team play any better. They were unstopable. Mario Chalmers with 30 points - come on! Bring on March Madness! I’m more than ready!

In celebration of a holiday that shouldn’t really be a holiday in the first place, Meggi and I got a fish tank and some fish! Here are just a couple of pics. Meggi will post more this weekend!

We got a 30 gallon, extra high tank. Its awesome! But needs a few more plants.

Tetras!

While my perdication in November is true for the moment, Obama and Clinton will probably never run on the same ticket. And in the past three months, I’ve come to like Obama more the Clinton. With Super (let down) Tuesday behind us, and no clear front runner for the dems, it looks like this will be an all out blood bath till the finish line.

With the democratic convention not until late August, I hope that things will resolve themselves way before that date. With John McCain knocking on the door for the GOP nomination, the dems have got to get things together and start to wage a campaign against him. I heard of a news program a couple weeks back that the democrats have a way of ripping defeat from the hands of victory. Which we certainly don’t want to be the case this year. McCain is way too much like Bush for us to put him the White House.

We’ll see what comes to be in the coming weeks and the coming primaries. I’ll be posting as needed - so stay tunes, but not too close… could be a week or two :-)

For now. S

Well, some how we went through the entire month of January without any snow. That’s right - New York City had no snow what so ever in the month of January. I don’t understand how that is possible. Not only was there no snow, but it wasn’t even that cold! Hey, but don’t get me wrong - I’m not complaining. Really! This been in the mid 50’s multiple days… nice!

Who know what February has in store… but lets home the weather doesn’t try to play catch up for all the weather we haven’t had….
