County Officials making a difference in policy

Today's Los Angeles Times examines the Democratic candidates' position on the foreclosure crisis with a focus on the March 4th primary states of Ohio and Texas. In the story, Cuyahoga County Treasurer Jim Rokakis gets a mention:

Officials struggling with the foreclosure issue in both states say the attention is long overdue. "We've been at the epicenter of this disaster for so long we're in the mopping-up phase now," said Jim Rokakis, the treasurer for Cuyahoga County in Ohio, a state wracked with nearly 90,000 repossessions last year -- the sixth-highest rate in the nation.

This is just one more reason why Restoring the Partnership is vital -- all levels of government need to work together to solve this crisis and to address the other challenges facing the nation. Treasurer Rokakis is one of many county experts that could be a huge asset to the next administration in formulating policy.

Happy Primary Day, Wisconsin!

Here are the delegate breakdowns for today's contests courtesy of First Read

Wisconsin (D). Open primary (independents can vote) -- 74 delegates up for grabs (48 proportional by CD, 15% threshold; 26 by statewide vote, 15% threshold).

Wisconsin (R). Open primary (independents can vote) -- 37 delegates at stake (24 winner-take-all by CD; 16 winner-take-all by statewide vote).

Hawaii (D). Closed caucuses (independents cannot vote) -- 20 delegates up for grabs (13 proportional by the state’s two CDs, 15% threshold; 7 based on statewide results, 15% threshold).

Washington (R). Open primary (independents can vote): Feb. 9 caucuses were used to determine 18 (or 49%) of the state's pledged delegates. Today's primary will determine the back half (or 51% -- 19 delegates) -- 10 proportional by statewide vote, 20% threshold; 9 WTA by CD.

Note: Washington’s Democratic primary is a beauty contest. Democrats will base all pledged delegate allocation on results of February 9 caucuses.

So what are Superdelegates and how could they affect the primary?

With the Democratic race still in a virtual tie and the GOP primary pretty much settled, there's been a lot of talk of Superdelegates and what they could mean for the race. So first thing to answer, what is a Superdelegate?

According to the DNC's Delegate Selection Rules, these folks aren't called Superdelegates, but rather party leaders and elected official delegates. And they consist of:

  • The individuals recognized as members of the DNC (as set forth in Article Three, Sections 2 and 3 of the Charter of the Democratic Party of the United States);
  • The Democratic President and the Democratic Vice President of the United States, if applicable;
  • All Democratic members of the United States House of Representatives and all Democratic members of the United States Senate;
  • The Democratic Governor, if applicable;
  • All former Democratic Presidents, all former Democratic Vice Presidents, all former Democratic Leaders of the U.S. Senate, all former Democratic Speakers of the U.S. House of Representatives and Democratic Minority Leaders, as applicable, and all former Chairs of the Democratic National Committee.
Now on to why they're suddenly the talk of the town. Paul Kane of the Washington Post says it best:

but it is now basically mathematically impossible for either Clinton or Obama to win the nomination through the regular voting process (meaning the super-delegates decide this one, baby!).

Here's the math. There are 3,253 pledged delegates, those doled out based on actual voting in primaries and caucuses. And you need 2,025 to win the nomination.

To date, about 55% of those 3,253 delegates have been pledged in the voting process -- with Clinton and Obamb roughly splitting them at about 900 delegates a piece.

That means there are now only about 1,400 delegates left up for grabs in the remaining states and territories voting.

So, do the math. If they both have about 900 pledged delegates so far, they need to win more than 1,100 of the remaining 1,400 delegates to win the nomination through actual voting.

Ain't gonna happen, barring a stunning scandal or some new crazy revelation. So, they'll keep fighting this thing out, each accumulating their chunk of delegates, one of them holding a slight edge and bothing finishing the voting process with 1,600 or so delegates.

And then the super delegates decide this thing.

That's the math.

Superdelegates = Important.
And some of these folks have already endorsed, but there are a great deal who are still undeclared. Those are very likely the folks who will be choosing the Democratic nominee. It's important to note that they are not legally bound to support any specific candidate and some will likely vote the way their constituents did. Again, they are not required to do so. Meaning at this point, it's still anyone's game.

Obama releases Katrina Policy

Today in New Orleans, Barack Obama spoke about the rebuilding that needs to happen in the area and around the country to be prepared in times of disaster. Some highlights:

  • Creating a special “COPS for Katrina” program to empower communities to hire local enforcement personnel, as well as helping local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies establish an integrated regional crime control partnership.
  • Working with emergency management officials, emergency responders and other experts from all 50 states to create a real National Response Plan, which will ensure we have fully-trained and prepared personnel to respond to disasters across the United States.
  • Creating a National Catastrophe Insurance Reserve, which will save homeowners $11.6 billion on annual insurance premiums.

Breaking News...

From MSNBC's First Read...

Mitt Romney is suspending his campaign for President, with remarks at CPAC:

I disagree with Senator McCain on a number of issues, as you know. But I agree with him on doing whatever it takes to be successful in Iraq, on finding and executing Osama bin Laden, and on eliminating Al Qaeda and terror. If I fight on in my campaign, all the way to the convention, I would forestall the launch of a national campaign...[ ] And in this time of war, I simply cannot let my campaign, be a part of aiding a surrender to terror.

This is not an easy decision for me. I hate to lose. My family, my friends and our supporters… many of you right here in this room… have given a great deal to get me where I have a shot at becoming President. If this were only about me, I would go on. But I entered this race because I love America, and because I love America, I feel I must now stand aside, for our party and for our country."
