Don’t mention the comet

Alarming developments, post-Bell announcement:

Don’t mention the comet. I did once but I think I got away with it.

UPDATE: Behold version 2. (It’s gotta be an improvement. I did version 1 on my lunch hour in about 3 minutes, using nothing but MS Paint. [...]

Significant numbers

You keep mentioning this nebulous, hard to define  “significant number”,  Amy.

Exactly what makes a number “significant”?

And please expand upon this unique theory you seem to have, wherein vague unspecified numbers can be considered “significant”,  but specific, actual dates [which are often expressed in numbers,  "12-31-2006" for instance] must never be.

And while [...]

Dispatch from the Uh-huh Institute

Polinaut reports that Michael Brodkorb of Minnesota Democrats Exposed is now working for the Mark Kennedy campaign. Since he doesn’t see any conflict of interest, he will continue to write MDE. Did Brodkorb really say he can do this ‘since his ideas are his own’?

Michael Brodkorb said that? The Michael Brodkorb I saw [...]

DFL Confidential

UPDATE:

To sum it all up, I had a terrific time in Rochester last Saturday, even tho sitting in Bloggers Row all day left me mildly dehydrated and without any feeling in my legs … and with the sad realization that I can’t live-blog for shit.

Good thing the other kids don’t have that [...]

Steve Kelley concedes

That’s it, kids. Steve Kelley gives up the battle for endorsement. Kelley’s a little choked up. Sincerity. Class.

Damn, now I’m choking up too.

It’s Hatch by acclamation.

Nearly 7 pm, and I’se tired.

Seventh Ballot

‘T’s getting close. Hatch now up to 55.6%. 60% is the magic number. Shouts of “Endorse!” are starting to pop up every couple of minutes..

Sixth Ballot

Hatch = 665 51.3%

Kelley = 606.5 46%

Hatch picked up a few points. Now the Hatch ppl are asking for a new Q & A — so Hatch can announce Judi Dutcher as his running mate? That’s the scuttlebutt we’re all hearing.

The Kelley ppl shouting NO outshouted the Hatch YESes, so no [...]

What I get

OK, so I’d only been sitting down for close to 4 hours. I decided to stretch my legs and get something to eat and take a hike around the Civic Center just before Becky Lourey made her announcement that she’s withdrawing and going on to the primary.

A wise friend just commented “I think [...]

Third Ballot

Hatch = 563 43.3%

Kelley = 385.5 29.6%

Lourey = 349.5 26.9%

Lourey’s losing ground. Next round the drop-off rule begins to apply. I have no idea what that is, so To the Convention Rules-mobile!

A few minutes ago 1st CD candidate Tim Walz gave the first really eloquent speech I’ve heard today. That [...]

And the Lord said: Let My Women Pee

At the 2006  MN DFL State Convention in Rochester…

There have been delays in ‘freezing’ the floor for each new round of balloting because there are so many female delegates standing in line for a restroom, they’re having trouble getting back in time for the vote.

In response, I’m pleased to announce that Principal [...]
