  6. Clinton's comeback - too little, too late - Slate Magazine
  7. Clinton Wins Big, But Math is Troubling Hillary Clinton's popular vote victories in Texas and Ohio fundamentally change the race for the Democratic presidential nomination in at least one important way: she's still in the race for the nomination. Clinton's long, arduous campaign might have ended abruptly if Obama delivered a knock-out blow in either state. Instead, Clinton will fight on for at least the next seven weeks, until Pennsylvania votes on April 22. To get an idea of how long a period that is in political years, the Iowa caucuses — remember them? — were only eight weeks ago. Clinton is emboldened not just by her Tuesday wins, but by several other developments over the past few days. She has now taken the popular votes in all the major industrial states that have held contests, except for Obama's home state of Illinois. Additionally, from Clinton's point of view, Obama is only now beginning to experience the aggressive media scrutiny standard for a serious presidential candidate. And she has finally found an advertising and rhetorical strategy to highlight Obama's relative lack of national security experience — his greatest weakness with voters. But the March 4 results have not changed Obama's strongest talking point (and reality point) for why Clinton should exit the Democratic race: Math. It appears numerically impossible for her to overtake his lead among elected delegates. Neither Obama nor Clinton can win the 2,025 delegates required for nomination without some combination of elected delegates (those chosen in primaries and caucuses) and superdelegates (party and elected officials who are automatic delegates to the Democrats' Denver convention this summer). About 800 of the approximately 4,000 delegates are superdelegates and several hundred of them are still uncommitted to either candidate. Given the remaining contests — many with electorates favorable to Obama — Obama's existing hundred-plus delegate lead, and the rules by which Democrats apportion delegates, it is almost a political and mathematical certainty that Obama will have an elected delegate lead at the end of the process, barring dramatic, unforeseen circumstances. Some of the upcoming states to vote — including Wyoming on Saturday and Mississippi on March 11 — are likely to swing strongly for Obama, and certainly show no signs of being Clinton blowouts. The same goes for North Carolina on May 6, and Oregon on May 20. Other contests might be more favorable for Clinton (Pennsylvania, Indiana, Guam, West Virginia, Montana, and South Dakota), but even decisive wins in those states — say, in the 60-40 range—would still leave her behind in both elected delegates and the overall count. That remains true even if Clinton somehow succeeds in getting the disputed delegates from Florida and Michigan seated at the convention. Clinton's only hope of winning a majority of the delegates is to overtake Obama's elected delegate lead by winning the bulk of the remaining superdelegates. This is the heart of Clinton's multi-dimensional challenge. Obama has of late signed up more superdelegates than Clinton in part because they are swayed by his lead in elected delegates. Yet unless there is a significant change in the overall dynamic — a major Obama blunder or scandal for example — he is likely to continue accruing superdelegates regardless of Clinton's big March 4 wins. Also, the act of securing the nomination with unelected convention votes could be considered by many Obama supporters as highly undemocratic, embittering and dividing the party on the eve of the general election. So Clinton lives to run for another seven weeks. But if you believe in the power of numbers, the candidate of inevitability is Barack Obama. Time
  8. ^War ka daa. Sidan xaal ma ahee. The man has clean plate unlike the Clintons. A ticket with Clinton on top is what the old lady had been praying for since the initial knockout of Iowa. Obama is enjoying his insurmountable lead and will probably gain momentum in heavy African American areas of Mississippi and Philly. Will she be able to catch up to him in delegate numbers any time soon?
  9. A father of a soldier killed in Iraq won almost $11 million in a lawsuit against a church whom its members were protesting at the funeral of his dead son and screaming some absence language. This was in the news few months back but what I didn't know was that this church is very hateful and hosts other hateful websites. Here's a youtube video response from LayZie little cousin. God Hates Canada How could a church lead such a hateful and disgusting message. What happened to tolerance, acceptance, faith and moral values? Talow ma Pat Robinson bey wax u galaan? CNN Interview of the father
  10. All this noise because someone called for a protest at the hospital where Beerlaawe is seen? What would have the response been if I or someone else were to suggest a peaceful protest held at his funeral or burial site and yell out 'no more warlord president' few times? A shoot out? And with this mindset, yet we're dreaming of the birth of reconciliation, brotherhood and understanding? :confused:
  11. The background noise is a bit of a turn off. Embrace whatever assumptions/thoughts/feelings you may have of the skinnies.

To this day, I can't add anything to it. On the other hand, my macalin dugsi was cool. He often times let us go swimming and football so long you keep reading your sura as you kick the ball. I can't recall Macalin Geeseey or Axmed oo idilay and I was not near being kabiir. However, I do remember ku-reebid couple of times. Aladii i gubtooy i gamaarisooy geed dheer.... Aladii was never friendly Sura. More of a land mine.
  13. I don't think jirdil is the correct word choice. Jirdil occurs in prison in that part of the world, not madrasas. That's not to say some teachers don't take it to the extreme measures of discipline. I'm more concerned about the jirdil these officials inflict upon the alleged criminals at their respective township. I could prescribe a dose of dugsi spanking to some SOLers.
  14. ^What does that mean? Somalia does not need Somalia? Somalia can do without Somalia? :confused: Are they not Ethiopian agents?

  17. ^Must you run away from your governor Taano now? You're not alone. Many republicans just did that back in '06. Couldn't you find any saxiixa gedonet news regrading these reports. I'm sure you'd have flooded the forum by now. Hadaladiina qaarkood maaha kuwa waafaqo da'aadiinu iyo garaadka laga rabo inaad gaarsiisantihiin.

Waxaad ku dhaqmaysan run ahaantii wax laga xishoodo maahana maaha wax ay ragu ku dhaqmaan. Horn speaking in favor of raganimo, xishood and against ceeb? Hell must be freezing over bey odhan jireen. Should I dig up the archives of your 'god-like' speech? What happened to the double morality, face & politiking strategies.

  21. Somalia: Kismayo Port Closed for Third Day By Clan Militias Port operations have been halted for the third straight day Tuesday in the southern Somali city of Kismayo after disgruntled clan militias took control, sources said. The militias are loyal to Abdirisak "Tano" Farah, formerly chairman of the political wing of the [blank], the clan group whose troops and allied militias wrestled control of Kismayo last April from the regional administration appointed by the transitional federal government. [blank] clan elders met in Kismayo last week and voted Tano out, replacing him with Ismail Qalinle. But Tano's loyal gunmen took to the streets and setup roadblocks in different parts of town, and especially along the road that leads to the port, independent sources in Kismayo told Garowe Online. The confidential sources said Mr. Tano recently met with a group of people in Kismayo, including figures waging war against the transitional government in Mogadishu. The figures include former officials in the now-defunct Jubba Valley Alliance, a militia coalition that ruled Kismayo between 1999 and 2006, until they were ousted by the Islamic Courts movement after the JVA split into two wings. The [blank] clan elders' move to oust Mr. Tano was secretly backed by Ethiopian military commanders in Mogadishu, the sources added. The Ethiopian government has long refused the transitional government from taking military action on Kismayo following armed clashes last April that resulted with the expulsion for the government-appointed administration. Somali President Abdullahi Yusuf admitted last month that Kismayo is not under the control of his government, but indicated that he seeks a political solution to the clan-based dispute. Kismayo residents fear the current standoff might lead to armed conflict in a city still recovering from last April's battles. Source
