Michigan update

WE’VE MOVED! Democratic Convention Watch is now at http://www.DemocraticConventionWatch.com

In the end, supporters of Obama won half of the 36 Uncommitted delegate seats, while union-backed candidates won the rest. It was a bitter pill for the new Democrats, who felt that all 36 slots should go to true-blue Obama fans.

Avs Win Series… Daughtry Wins Walleye

WE’VE MOVED! Democratic Convention Watch is now at http://www.DemocraticConventionWatch.com

On Saturday night the Colorado Avalanche defeated the Minnesota Wild 3-2. With their win the Avs move on to the next round of the playoffs against either the Stars or the Red Wings. And Leah Daughtry wins the Friendly Wager with the Republican National Convention CEO Maria Ceno.

AFP, PBS, MSNBC latest media sources that prove they don’t read DCW

WE’VE MOVED! Democratic Convention Watch is now at http://www.DemocraticConventionWatch.com

We got our digs in on NBC earlier in the week and now it’s time to point out another media source making a major blunder on the superdelegate front. Some people have questioned us on our need to point out these errors. We do it because we’re unpaid part-time bloggers with no connections to either campaign and no journalism experience whatsoever, and frankly, it’s fun to point out mistakes by our well-funded professional friends in the media.

WASHINGTON (AFP) – Barack Obama moved a step closer to rival Hillary Clinton in their race for superdelegates Friday, as two senior figures in the Democratic party endorsed his candidacy for the White House Continue Reading...
