An Open Thread and An Update

How will people, and the media they imbibe react when they discover that Puerto Rico has more Democratic Party pledged delegates (55) than formidable American states like Iowa (45) or Oregon (54). Furthermore, will they remember that Puerto Rico is a US territory? My theory is they've been given a generous amount of delegates to make up for the fact that this man is their unelected head of state.

Ron Paul now has 21 delegates. I believe the officials in his campaign are now allowed to drink.

In the news:

Charmayne Brown was reporting on an arrest for WSPA-TV in South Carolina, and was attacked by the subject's redneck relatives. Brown, and her cameraman who tried to intervene, luckily only suffered minor injuries.

Also, 26% of teenage girls have at least one STD. Wow.

Fascinating statistic about Puerto Rico. As an idealist, it is really cool to see all these primaries really mattering for once.
