Texas Primary May Decide Democratic Party Nominee
“The presidential primary March 4th in Texas may decide which Democrat faces the likely Republican Party nominee, Senator John McCain of Arizona. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, the final two Democrats left, face off in a tough, high-profile showdown in the Lone Star State.
The Democratic candidates are almost in a dead heat in the state, according to a Houston Chronicle poll. Texas voters in the Democratic Party primary are diverse, with just more than half either Hispanic or African-American. The 228 delegates will be split according to vote totals in the 31 state senate districts, with precinct conventions and a state caucus deciding the rest. Also, voter participation in the 2004 and 2006 elections for each district decides how delegates each senate district receives. For example, a heavily Hispanic district in south Texas with low voter turnout in the last two statewide elections could receive 7 delegates, while a high-turnout district in Houston gets 10 delegates, according to Chronicle. This complicated system of choosing delegates has some Democrats unhappy and calling for a change.

Promotional Mugs Figure Prominently In The US Democratic Party Presidential Primaries
TV news stations in the USA, most notably CNN, spend millions on voter research, trying to determine which of the two Democratic candidates – Barack Obama and Hilary Clinton – is likely to win the race for their party’s presidential nomination. But, they needn’t bother because one leading US retailer has come up with its own innovative and cheaper solution to work out which candidate is winning the country’s hearts and minds by counting mugs!
Californian online merchandiser Cafe Press allows customers to upload their own designs to be placed on personalised promotional items such as mugs, t-shirts, badges and car stickers. The San Matteo based company has simply counted up all such items ordered relating to the presidential nomination race and concludes that Obama is winning by an extremely comfortable margin.

Obama Caused Destruction of Democrat Party – No Remorse, No Emotion, No Feelings – Pathological
The other day I was talking to a rather interesting gentleman who studied psychology, and was well-versed in all geopolitical issues. He happened to grow up in a family that was quite Republican, but he himself was more of a liberal by definitional standards. And he also sided with the Democratic Party, which in the United States we know it to be mostly socialist leaning. I asked him a serious question about President Obama after reading an interesting book called; Reading Obama.
What I wanted to know is why President Obama did not show any feelings for remorse, and very little emotion when it came to the destruction of the dramatic party, which his policies had a huge hand in. Now then, I asked him that it is true that every new president makes some mistakes, but the legislation which was pushed through was so damaging to our country, it’s likely that Obama cannot recover from mistakes – do you agree?
