Private Meeting


Last night, Senators Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton met privately for the first time since Obama had clinched the nomination for the Democratic Party.

Sources say both had decided on the time earlier in the week, but did not disclose the location. Much of the media believed it to be at the Clinton's home, but it was revealed that it actually took place at Senator Diane Feinstein's home in Whitehaven.

A joint statement was provided by both campaigns to the press:

Senator Clinton and Senator Obama met tonight and had a productive discussion about the important work that needs to be done to succeed in November.


There is little information as to what was said during their private meeting, but it seems both are looking forward to uniting the party for the general election. For more click here.

Senator Clinton plans to concede the race and endorse Barack Obama on Saturday in front of supporters at an event in Washington, DC.

Thank You South Dakota


Senator Hillary Clinton has won the South Dakota primary.

She has decided to make no decisions on whether to concede the race.

Obama Wins Montana


Senator Barack Obama is the projected winner in Montana.

He has clinched the Democratic nomination thanks to superdelegates. He is the first African American nominee for president.

Proud of Hillary

I am incredibly proud of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton. Her campaign for President of the United States has been record breaking and she has accomplished things no other woman has ever come close to doing. And it's not over yet.

However, with the final two states voting tonight and with uncommitted superdelegates turning the nomination over to her competitor, it looks like Senator Clinton is about to announce her exit from this historic campaign.

I am completely saddened of the treatment of Senator Clinton by the media. But that was always to be expected. What really saddens me is the way her own party started treating her like a pebble in their shoe. It will come back to haunt them.

The DNC flubbed this one. No, you can't change the rules in the middle of the game as the Clinton camp was trying to do. But you also can't punish millions of voters when it was state party leaders and legislatures who broke the rules in the first one. You certainly cannot award a candidate delegates when his or her name failed to appear on the ballet in a state.

As of right now, I have no plans of voting for president in November. I will not support McCain. I do support Obama. However, as a voter in a pretty solid blue state anyways I don't feel I need to vote for him. In a way, I can't bring myself to vote for him. It's not his fault.

My mind could be swayed should Mrs. Clinton pop up on the ticket as a running mate. Of course, everyone is saying that will never happen and that it would be a big mistake. I disagree. What better way to unite a bitterly divided party? People say "Nobody votes for VP." I disagree. Hillary could be up there as Dick Cheney's running mate and she (they) would get my vote. I will be extremely upset should the Obama camp place another woman on the ballot with them. I do not want to see the governor of Kansas on the ballot. I do not want to see another woman get something that Senator Clinton worked so hard to get simply handed to her. To me, it would be a slap in the face.

I expect the announcement to come soon. And if it doesn't, I will stand with Hillary until she chooses to leave or loses this race. But for now, I applaud Senator Hillary Clinton and the ceiling she has broken.

South Dakota and Montana


Montana and South Dakota are the two final states holding primaries. I urge voters to stand up, vote, and show your support for Senator Hillary Clinton.

Vote for Hillary Clinton.

She may exit this race tomorrow night and give the nomination to Senator Obama. It doesn't matter. I stand by her as her strong supporter and I could not be more proud of everything she has accomplished in this campaign. She has been treated unfairly by many and I hope that one day she gets to have the last laugh. She may not be the Democratic party's choice, but I know she is the best choice.

I applaud Hillary Clinton.

Sex and the City Takes the Country


Sex and the City has become the biggest R-rated comedy ever with an opening weekend of $55.7 million. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull dropped to second still taking in about $46 million bringing it over the $200 million mark.

I loved the Sex and the City movie. All the girls were good. Kristin Davis and Kim Cattrall were easily the best. I expect a sequel.

Hillary Wins Puerto Rico


Senator Hillary Clinton is the projected winner of the Democratic primary in Puerto Rico.

Unfortunately, Puerto Rico is not permitted to vote in the general election.

People can count her out all they want. But she's still winning.

Indy Rules Memorial Day


Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull had a great debut taking in $126 million domestically and $143 million internationally. That's a $269 million total. The movie performed quite well but it was expected to break the record held by last year's Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End.

Indy was good. Not as good as the original three. I hate aliens.
