The goal of Paulville.org it to establish gated communities containing 100% Ron Paul supporters and or people that live by the ideals of freedom and liberty.

I would but get some other people to help you. I like reading blogs more when several people do them. Keep the pieces short in general, except when you need to explain something.

Delegates:     Pledged Super Total Needed
Obama        1,590.5 269 1,859.5 165
Clinton        1,426.5 269.5 1,696 328.5
Remaining      217      256.5 473.5

Obama is currently 0.5 super delegates behind Clinton. him passing her in superdelegates will be a first!

This is a pretty good TIME article on Sen. Clinton's five big mistakes.

Quote
Clinton picked people for her team primarily for their loyalty to her, instead of their mastery of the game. That became abundantly clear in a strategy session last year, according to two people who were there. As aides looked over the campaign calendar, chief strategist Mark Penn confidently predicted that an early win in California would put her over the top because she would pick up all the state's 370 delegates. It sounded smart, but as every high school civics student now knows, Penn was wrong: Democrats, unlike the Republicans, apportion their delegates according to vote totals, rather than allowing any state to award them winner-take-all. Sitting nearby, veteran Democratic insider Harold M. Ickes, who had helped write those rules, was horrified — and let Penn know it. "How can it possibly be," Ickes asked, "that the much vaunted chief strategist doesn't understand proportional allocation?" And yet the strategy remained the same, with the campaign making its bet on big-state victories.

Man, that's ridiculous.

If any of you are interested in writing on the blog let me know, i'm debating using a blog resource, or buying web space if i have someone who can code a site worth a shit.

Well I'm pretty sure he knew that the state delegates were going to be awarded proportionally. Regardless, they picked a bad course. I think it's got more to do with them thinking Obama would never be a serious candidate. If he hadn't been there, I don't think John Edwards would've made it even if he had done the same type of campaigning that Obama did.

cnn has clinton projected in WV at 61-32% (stamp: 9:12 EST) with 16% reporting right now.  while it's really no surprise and it really doesn't matter to anyone who frequents this topic i urge you to take a look at the exit polling.

Jim Webb (Virginia senator) is releasing a book May 15th. normally this wouldn't be that important but he's rumored to be on Obama's VP list so this is pretty interesting timing!
