Wed, 27 Aug 2008 16:18:25 GMT

... that last night's speech would help to quell the media's laziness but this morning, this is what Barbara Boxer said as she addressed the California delegation. I just had a press availabililty and they say we're tired because we're fighting each other. They have a storyline that we're not united. Are we united and are we going to elect Barack Obama!? The place went nuts. So take that!...

McCain VP Speculation (Powder Blue Report)

noreply@blogger.com (Allan Bartlett) — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 16:16:00 GMT

As if McCain himself wasn't a bad enough nominee for the GOP, now the word is he is seriously thinking of tapping his good Democratic Senator buddy Joe Lieberman for Vice President...on the Republican ticket! What...was Barbara Boxer unavailable? This is unbelievable. If he picks Lieberman, say goodbye to any chance of consolidating the conservative/libertarian base of the party. Say...

California “passes” on casting their delegates to Obama (ProudToBeCanadian Blog)

Wed, 27 Aug 2008 23:26:33 GMT

The official votes are being cast for Obama’s nomination. Just now, Barbara Boxer, far-left liberal Democrat from California, stood up in the convention hall for the State of California, and “passed” rather than casting the huge California delegate vote (441 delegates) to Hillary (she won California in the primaries) —or Obama. That’s got to hurt some Californian Hillarettes. And Obamatons....
