Countdown to the Nomination..*UPDATE** 5-29-2008

Good afternoon Folks,

I'm going to provide a daily/weekly status update on the "Countdown" to the Nomination for Barack Obama...So, enough talking..let me blog!

Oregon Superdelegate for Obama; Delegate Countdown - 44 To Go

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Gail Rasmussen has become Oregon's third Democratic superdelegate in two days to come out in support of Barack Obama.

Obama beat Hillary Rodham Clinton by 18 percentage points in last week's Oregon primary, and the Democratic National Committee member cited that win in explaining why she will vote for the Illinois senator at the party's national convention in Denver this summer.

The decision announced early Thursday gives Obama a 7-2 edge over Clinton among Oregon superdelegates, with three yet to declare. A day before Rasmussen threw her support to Obama, state party Chairwoman Meredith Wood Smith and Democratic National Committeeman Wayne Kinney said they would back him.

Nationally, Obama is fewer than 45 delegates away from the 2,026 needed to capture the party's nomination. With only three primaries left, it looks like the superdelegates — elected and party officials whose picks are not bound by what voters in their home states decided — might push Obama over the threshold.

Others Oregon superdelegates who plan to vote for Obama include U.S. Reps. Earl Blumenauer, David Wu and Peter DeFazio, along with Democratic National Committeewoman Jenny Greenleaf.

Keith Olbermann is GANGSTA! Spoke the Truth!! Finally, SOME JUSTICE ON TV!!

Last week on "Countdown," Keith Olbermann gave a special comment blasting Hillary Clinton for her remark that Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June, which she claims was a historical referenced intended to show that the length of this primary is not unusual but which many took as an implicit announcement that she was staying in the race in case Barack Obama was assassinated.

The special comment was intense, and the video can be viewed below

Obama Outlines Plan to Address Housing Crisis in North Las Vegas

As President, Obama will:

* Support the Dodd/Frank proposal to create a new FHA Housing Security Program to provide incentives for lenders to buy or refinance existing mortgages and make them stable 30-year fixed mortgages;

* Make an additional $10 billion in bonds available to help middle class families buy their first home or avoid foreclosure;

* Give a tax credit to middle class homeowners that would cover 10 percent of the interest on their mortgages every year;

* Mandate accurate loan disclosure to ensure consumers fully understand their loan agreements;

* Penalize predatory lenders and use those fines to help families stay in their homes;

* Eliminate income tax for seniors making less than $50,000 per year;

* And implement a “Making Work Pay” tax credit of $1,000 per family or $500 per worker.

"Most important part of our journey still lies ahead"

Barack Obama

Obama wins Oregon and also captures majority of pledged delegates

"From the very beginning, you knew that this journey wasn’t about me or any of the other candidates in this race. It’s about whether this country – at this defining moment – will continue down the same road that has failed us for so long, or whether we will seize this opportunity to take a different path – to forge a different future for the country we love.

That is the question that sent thousands upon thousands of you to high school gyms and VFW halls; to backyards and front porches; to steak fries and JJ dinners, where you spoke about what that future would look like.

You spoke of an America where working families don’t have to file for bankruptcy just because a child gets sick; where they don’t lose their home because some predatory lender tricks them out of it; where they don’t have to sit on the sidelines of the global economy because they couldn’t afford the cost of a college education. You spoke of an America where our parents and grandparents don’t spend their retirement in poverty because some CEO dumped their pension – an America where we don’t just value wealth, but the work and the workers who create it.

You spoke of an America where we don’t send our sons and daughters on tour after tour of duty to a war that has cost us thousands of lives and billions of dollars but has not made us safer. You spoke of an America where we match the might of our military with the strength of our diplomacy and the power of our ideals – a nation that is still the beacon of all that is good and all that is possible for humankind.

You spoke of a future where the politics we have in Washington finally reflect the values we hold as Americans – the values you live by here in Iowa: common sense and honesty; generosity and compassion; decency and responsibility. These values don’t belong to one class or one region or even one party – they are the values that bind us together as one country. "

Mr. Barack Obama

The image says a lot, but the number speaks for itself
