Also, Obama Memo: 17 Pledged Delegates Away From Winning Primaries
In a sign that they are likely to declare victory in the presidential primary very soon, the Obama campaign is now boasting in a memo to reporters that they are on the cusp of winning the pledged-delegate majority, thanks to the endorsement from John Edwards and a group of his delegates.
By the Obama campaign's math, they are only 17 elected delegates away from the pledged-del majority, a number that they are guaranteed to pull off next week in Oregon and Kentucky. Expect them to court super-delegates to break their way en masse after that happens, on the basis that Obama has the popular mandate to be the nominee.
Aw, Ellen and Portia are getting married!
Sweet! It's funny, she was just recently saying on her show that she's been engaged a long time, and is just waiting for the go-ahead to get married. (She was busting on someone straight who has been engaged for a long time, and the other person was like, "Yeah, but how long have
you
been engaged?")
I had no idea Ellen was 50! She looks awesome! I'm happy for them.
Ellen has had some excellent work done over the last couple of years -- which was apparent when she was recently showing clips from early in the show's run. She does look great, though.
This weekend plans: I am leaving for the summer! Ack! So not ready! Ack, ack!
I should get off the internets then, huh?
Weekend
Today: HH with coworker and his roommate who both played hookie today to hang out by the pool.
Saturday: Anniversary, so romantic dinner and then drinks.
Sunday: Visit with other coworker over bloody marys.
Sounds like an excellent and laid-back weekend, DJ!
Liese, where are you going for the summer?
Weekend: Taking cat into the vet in a few hours, then dropping her off at home and heading over to the grocery store and/or Trader Joe's. Then laundry, dishes, and Sci-Fi Friday.
Saturday: Working at B&N for the first time in about 10 days, then getting the rest of the apartment cleaned so I can veg and possibly go see Iron Man on Sunday.
I am now doubting my decision for the high fat/sugar lunch. probably not the best thing for my mood.
