All views expressed on this site are my own. They do not necessarily reflect those of the Parish of Bursledon, the Diocese of Winchester or the Church of England. As such, I do not expect them all to be popular but you, the reader, can certainly expect them to be honest.

Taking a break from preparing my sermon for Sunday to catch up with the latest news from the primaries. Montana and South Dakota Democrats hold their primaries today and, after the decision regarding the Michigan and Florida elections, it would take a freak result for Sen. Clinton to come out ahead in terms of delegates. She is likely to finish the primaries with a greater share of the popular vote though.

Anyway, all that having been said, it's time for the party to unite behind Sen. Obama (and who knows, maybe it could still be an Obama-Clinton ticket).

None of that is links though, so here they are:

  • Justin Webb's blog. Justin is the BBC's North America Editor and he knows his stuff. It's far from dry though, he has a wit about him that political reporting really needs.
  • Electoral-Vote.com. I've been using this site for every US election over the last few years. Run by Andrew Tannenbaum (legendary Computer Scientist and creator of MINIX). It tracks polls in the same way that Elmer Fudd wishes he hunted wabbits - successfully. The latest polls crunched here finally show Obama polling ahead of the margin over McCain. Tragically, it also carries the information that 20% of voters in Kentucky said they wouldn't vote for a black person. In 2008!
In the word of Votemaster Tannenbaum, "This is the beginning of the end of the primary season. It's been a wild ride." Next stop, the general election campaign. It's going to be fun...

Conversation this morning after Callum's breakfast:

Amanda: He kissed your photo.
Me:What am I? The Pope?

What a scary thought...
