Good question! We were wondering about poor Florence Steen’s quest for on absentee ballot for the SD June 3 primary to cast her vote for Hillary. Will it count?

Slate’s Explainer has the answer:

No. As dictated by a 2001 state law, the South Dakota Department of Health is responsible for furnishing the county auditors with a list of …

Where has he been? Certainly not dropping out of the race. Much like a Republican version of Hillary Clinton (albeit with much less of a chance) Ron Paul is refusing to drop out of the race, despite the near impossible odds of winning.

Now that Obama has more or less clinched the Democratic nomination, speculation on who he will choose as a running mate is rampant.

Well before we get started, a major tip of the hat is in order to UBS for their great reports, Obamanomics and McCainomics. These reports are both great and in depth, we will barely scratch the surface of them so we would strongly recommend that you find a copy of them yourselves. Now with that out of the way, on …
