Democratic Convention Watch: Convention planning on track

Convention planning on track
WE’VE MOVED! Democratic Convention Watch is now at http://www.DemocraticConventionWatch.com
With all of the primary craziness going on we’d like to take a moment to talk about the main reason for this site… the Democratic National Convention.
As Denver marks the one-year anniversary since the city was selected to host the 2008 Democratic National Convention, the Democratic National Convention Committee (DNCC) announced that planning for the four-day event is on pace or ahead of schedule across the board.
“It’s remarkable how time flies,” said Leah D. Daughtry, CEO of the DNCC. “And with just eight months to go, we have not a moment to waste. But we have certainly made the most of every hour of every day during this last year. From assigning hotel rooms to mapping our transportation system to engaging the community in our planning, our team has worked tirelessly to ensure we are on pace or even ahead of schedule on all fronts. All of this progress would not have been possible without the steadfast support from our partners here in Colorado – in particular, Governor Ritter, Senator Salazar, Representative DeGette and Mayor Hickenlooper, the Mile High City’s best ambassadors.” – Press Release

Denver backs down on park and parade permit change
WE’VE MOVED! Democratic Convention Watch is now at http://www.DemocraticConventionWatch.com
Good news from the Denver City Council regarding their plans to change park permits
Reacting to criticism, Denver officials removed language from a proposed rule change that would have given governments first dibs on park and parade permits.

Democratic Convention Watch: Obama strategist: We’ll close the superdelegate gap

Obama strategist: We’ll close the superdelegate gap
WE’VE MOVED! Democratic Convention Watch is now at http://www.DemocraticConventionWatch.com
As part of the post-New Hampshire frenzy, superdelegates is the word of the day. We’ve been tracking which superdelegates have made endorsements, and which haven’t. The numbers show Clinton with a significant lead in the superdelegate endorsement race, but there are hundreds of superdelegates who haven’t announced an endorsement yet. So can Obama make inroads with the Democratic party establishment and close the gap? Obama campaign manager David Plouffe says yes:
We expect to see a great deal of movement to Obama from superdelegates in the coming days, seriously eroding the Clintons’ existing advantage in this universe.

Democratic Convention Watch: The Ascension to the Convention

The Ascension to the Convention
WE’VE MOVED! Democratic Convention Watch is now at http://www.DemocraticConventionWatch.com
Now that we know the nomination isn’t a done deal I figured we should come up with a corny title and back it up with a majestic horn section and some timpani and repeat it every three minutes. If we’re going to be a news organization we need to act like one! Other possibilities are “The Contention for the Convention” or “Center of Attention at the Convention”
Hillary Clinton’s New Hampshire primary win puts her 9 delegates closer to the nomination. Although he finished second, Barack Obama also got 9 delegates and John Edwards followed up with 4 delegates.
We continue to update the Delegate Tracker (on the left) as well as our Superdelegate List and our List of Superdelegates who haven’t endorsed whenever we get new information.

Democratic Convention Watch: Won’t the media ever learn

Won’t the media ever learn
WE’VE MOVED! Democratic Convention Watch is now at http://www.DemocraticConventionWatch.com
The media has such a herd mentality. And every 4 years, the same things happen. 90% of the people voting in these early primaries, and actually, in all the primaries, don’t pay attention until the last couple of days, and don’t care about who the media has coronated. In addition, New Hampshire has a history of ignoring the results of Iowa – not always, but often enough. Gephardt in 1988, Mondale in 1984, Huckabee in 2008, Bush in 2000, Dole in 1996, Dole in 1988, Bush in 1980, all winners in Iowa who lost in New Hampshire. Of the 10 primaries (without an incumbent president) since Iowa became a factor since 1980 (ignoring Carter’s 2nd place in Iowa in ’76), 78 of the 10 have had different winners in Iowa and New Hampshire. Now Obama may still pull it out tonight. But the exit polls seem to indicate that the good people of New Hampshire decided in the last 24 hours that they weren’t ready to end this primary and Hillary Clinton’s bid to be president. Good for them.
Update: It’s now 8 9 of 11 since 1980. And 5 of 5 for the GOP. (Iowa and NH GOP electorate very different).
