so a phone call from a survey

which seemed legitimate, not a push poll. Wanted to know if I was registered etc. and Bernie or Hillary. I said Bernie of course. The guy said, that's who I'm voting for too

I'm proud of my state senator Jim Sheehan for endorsing Bernie

Sheehan is fighting a lone fight for ethics reform in RI, one of the most politically corrupt states in the union. He is a natural Bernie supporter.

After the federal RI Senators being in the bag for Hillary, it is refreshing to know we have one honest politician locally.

Jim Dean for Bernie

I was surprised to see that Jim Dean was at the opening of the RI Bernie office, because I know Howard supports Hillary. Surprise, Jim is for Bernie. He also said elsewhere:

Dean and I discussed his relationship with his brother, former Vermont Governor and presidential candidate Howard Dean, who, as some of you may know, endorsed Clinton early in her campaign. While not talking about his bother specifically, Dean said that he thinks many who endorsed Clinton early on now regret it, as the energy and momentum is clearly with Sanders. Dean did say that he went to his brother early in the process, though, promising that, whoever the membership of DFA voted to support, the organization would run a positive campaign and eventually back the Democratic nominee. (When DFA’s one million members were asked who they wanted to support in the primary, 87.5% of respondents indicated Sanders.)

Question about convention delegate announcements

It's been years since I watched a convention, pretty much since they stopped being contested. But it used to be that during the roll call, someone from each state group would stand up and say something like: "Mr. Chairman (or something) the great state of Framis, home of the Framis Metal Works, proudly casts leventy-leven votes for the next President of the United States, Bugs Bunny.

Now I am wondering, does that count include super delegates? Heck, maybe there weren't even superdelegates years ago, I don't remember. Looking it up, superdelegates seem to have been created in the early 1980s, so maybe the old counts I remember didn't include them.

Of course, pandemonium broke loose when someone achieved the necessary number of delegates. But if they think they can throw the nomination to Hillary via the supers if Bernie has the pledged, think again.

Laura Bush to vote for Hillary? ha, ha, ha, ha, ha

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/04/08/laura-bush-hints-shed-rather-see-hillary-as-president-than-repub/

Laura wants someone "who cares about the plight of Afghan women." Well, Hillary ruined the lives of millions of Libyan women, I guess she should switch her attention to another country she can throw into disaster. Not to forget how Hillary worked to get the minimum wage of Haitian garment workers reduced by half at the behest of U.S. manufacturers.

Could a women who married George Bush have questionable judgement? I'm really impressed by her favoring Hillary. Ha, ha, ha, ha.

Last minute crookedness in Missouri, what to do?

https://www.reddit.com/r/SandersForPresident/comments/4dpi4i/crisis_in_missouri_regarding_delegate_allocation/

I have no way of knowing if this is a valid report, but I am hoping someone can have the Sanders campaign legal eagles look at it:

...

"After Crunching numbers to show how this would possibly change the STATE Convention which would be representative of the national convention delegate count minus super delegates etc...

Original Allocation: Clinton-601 Sanders-629

New Allocation: Clinton - 652 Sanders - 578"

Boo hoo: He's taking my votes - Trump

What a whiner baby. It's all about Donald:

http://www.providencejournal.com/news/20160403/trump-calls-on-kasich-to-quit-race-hes-taking-my-votes

"Donald Trump on Sunday called for John Kasich to drop out of the Republican presidential race, arguing that the Ohio governor who's only won his home state so far shouldn't be allowed to continue accumulating delegates if he has no chance of being the nominee.

...."He's taking my votes," Trump said about Kasich."
