Two Websites for Updated Delegate Counts

Both Time and CNN have put up websites that keep a running count of what the delegate count is for each presidential candidate in each party. CNN's is found at http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/primaries/results/scorecard/ and Time's is found at http://www.time.com/time/2008/primaries08/?xid=rss-topstories. . Of the two, we find the one at CNN a little easier to use because it uses numbers instead of a bar graph to show the delegate count.

After the New Hampshire primary the delegate count, according to CNN is 178 for Clinton, 78 for Obama, and 52 for Edwards. On the Republican side it is 30 for Romney, 21 for Huckabee, and 10 for McCain. The magic number for Democrats is 2026 delegates to win the nomination. The magic number for Republicans is 1191 to win the nomination.

Time Magazine Writers Predicts Attack on Iran, Cites Administration Source

There is an article on the Time magazine website, which can be read here, claiming that an administration source told one of its writers that there will be an attack on Iraq later this year. This is from the article:

Strengthening the Administration's case for a strike on Iran, there's a belief among neo-cons that the IRGC is the one obstacle to a democratic and friendly Iran. They believe that if we were to get rid of the IRGC, the clerics would fall, and our thirty-years war with Iran over. It's another neo-con delusion, but still it informs White House thinking.
And what do we do if just the opposite happens — a strike on Iran unifies Iranians behind the regime? An Administration official told me it's not even a consideration. "IRGC IED's are a casus belli for this Administration. There will be an attack on Iran." (emphasis added).

How dumb do you have to be to start a third war when you have finished the first two wars? As dumb as they get, which means that war with Iran could be around the corner.
