Primaries update

So far it looked like Clinton would easily win the primaries for the democrats but after last weeks results everything changed. Now Obama seems to be very popular in the last elections and took the lead. Now everybody is talking about the so called 'super delegates' which is a new twist to my last election campaign report. These people (around 800) are also sent to the final vote over the democrat's candidate alongside the already elected delegates from each state. Confusing, right? More confusing is that Obama and Clinton have of course their own view of how they should vote. So in a tight race like this one these votes will make a difference.
And this years democratic convention (where all this delegate business is happening) is in Denver! People are renting out their homes for some grands on that particular week! It is a bit like the riders cup back in Dublin, only without golf balls but maybe with clubs, who knows how they elect their candidate ;-)

On the republican side of things everything is a bit boring that's why nobody really reports about that (like a Baseball match against the Rockies, you know already who is winning but you are not sure about the result yet)... McCain seems to win this race single handed (just to keep this anachronism... he is like the Rockies opponents. Just how badly they beat them is not decided yet) ;-)

Whatever happens... I will keep you up to date!
