UNC blocks and out rebounds Duke for conference title

I love watching a basketball game. Duke University — University of North Carolina. Forget all the stats. Forget the record of who has beaten whom. This was NCAA basketball at its best. Outstanding team defense. Outstanding team offense. University of North Carolina outplayed Duke in the first half. For the first 17 minutes of the second half Duke outplayed UNC. Do can actually crawled back into the game and was leading with less than five minutes to go. Unfortunately, for Duke, they never scored another point. University of North Carolina seem to step up their game. They played outstanding defense. They took smart intelligent shots. More importantly, they rebounded like Charles Barkley. They were tenacious on the boards.

My Solution To Michigan/Florida Mess

Here’s my proposal for how Democrats should resolve the mess of how to include delegates from Michigan and Florida at the National Convention (this extends what was previously posted here)

Each state should be penalized 20% of its delegates for breaking the rules.

Michigan should simply re-vote since Barack Obama was not on the ballot when that state held its primary.

For Florida, the primary already conducted should count for half of awarded delegates. A caucus should be held for the other half.

There you have it.

Hillary Clinton loses Wyoming - badly

What happened to all of that hype about Hillary Clinton was closing the gap? What happened to that? Has Barack Obama lost his luster? Garbage. That was all garbage. Hillary Clinton got another thumpin’. 59% - Obama; 40% - Clinton. Wyoming delivers what everyone but the pundits thought would happen.

The Errington Thompson Show 3-08-08

The party begins here.  :-)  Good show.  I discuss Iraq and Pakistan with our good friend and Middle East expert Brian Katulis.  I then chat with Eric Boehlert from Media Matters about the role of bloggers in this next election.
