That is what this race will come down to. Will the women of Texas be able to rush home from work, get the kids out of day care and arrange for someone else to take Tammy to her dance class and Ryan to karate? Will she have the 25 minutes it takes to heat the oven and throw in the frozen pizza? Are her kids old enough to stay home by themselves for a couple of hours and can they remember to turn off the oven when the pizza is done, or will she have to arrange to find a babysitter of that magical age that is not too young to require a sitter herself in these overly protective times but isn’t too old so that she has better things to do on Tuesday night?
If she’s really desperate, she might have to take the kids with her. They will whine and complain about being (check all that apply) bored, hungry, tired, too cold, too warm, in pain, subject to their siblings’ irritations or endlessly fascinated by something they shouldn’t touch, go near, sniff, smell or taste. In other words, the little darlings will be a complete distraction during the caucus.
These one of a million women with their 2 million children will have to fit yet another hoop-jumping event, on top of voting in the primary, in order to shout down the maniacal Obamaphiles and put an end to the media’s determination to pick our next president.
Ladies, I know you can do this. But I am sooooo sorry we put all of this “fate of the world” stuff on you on a Tuesday night.
Busy day for me today. Non-stop craziness. I might check in at lunch. But I see that ronk has a lot of tasty morsels in his draft box (I swear, I didn’t peek), so I am sure we are all in very good hands.

They said the first two days, they split evenly on early voting but adding third day, Obama leads 57-47 on early voting (yesterday they said 15% already voted).
Gender breakdown of poll:
Women: 52%
Men: 48%
Race breakdown:
White: 62%
African American: 14%
Hispanic: 19%
Asian: 1%
We need women and Hispanics to come out big for Hillary. Turnout Turnout Turnout!!!
Oops, that should be 53-47 on early voting (15% + already in). In contrast, Survey USA said Clinton leads 51-46% on early voting with 25% of the vote already in.
WS: I don’t we’ll truly know until the night of the primary. However, SUSA has had the more reliable polls so far. All we can do is put our faith and trust in the women of Texas and their level-headed male counterparts.
Barack Obama is backed by the Carlyle Group?
Now, that’s interesting.
This blog [url below] is chocked full of little tidbits of info, particularly on the marketing of Barack Obama. Don’t miss it…
Reading down through it, there’s a link to Congresspedia, noting the Carlyle Group link.
Notably, this is actually not unusual; orgs like the Carlyle Group routinely donate to both sides of the aisle. However, it is interesting to read through the blog, and I recommend it.
There may be other things that good bloggers can highlight. This blogger has done some really good research.
h/t to Larry Johnson’s site, No Quarter, where this blogger posted a link to his/her site in the comments section. You can always find such interesting stuff in the comments section!
