A friend of mine asked me to record a 90-minute mix for Funk The War, which is planned for March 19, 2008 to commemorate the fifth anniversary of the US invasion of Iraq. This mix will be the part of the soundtrack for bunches of students dancing in the streets of Washington, DC in a peaceful (at least I hope it stays peaceful) protest of the Iraq War.
Most of the tracks are edited in some way by me, on the fly by extending, adding breakdowns, glitches, sampling some of my own original loops, etc. Fun stuff.

As I was concerned about yesterday, Republican voters seem to be coming out to vote for Sen. Clinton, perhaps spurred by the encouragement of Rush Limbaugh and others. The Republicans know that they have the best chance of winning against Sen. Clinton, so now that their party has decided its nomination they are starting to influence the Democratic race.
It used to be that Sen. Obama was getting more Republican support (he has actually used it as a campaign point) but since the last round of primaries and caucuses, which determined Sen. McCain would be the Republican nominee, we have had two contests. In Wyoming’s Democratic caucus (which was closed, meaning only those registered as a Democrat by February 22, 2008 could participate) we don’t have exit poll numbers, but it is unlikely Republican voters had an impact. In Mississippi, however, Sen. Clinton won the Republican vote by a 3-to-1 margin, 75% to 25%.
It is safe to say that Republicans haven’t all of a sudden started deciding Clinton is the candidate they are ready to switch party affiliation for. Obama has been winning the support of cross-over Republicans for some time, and now all of a sudden a 3-to-1 margin opens for Clinton? Not likely.
Mississippi is traditionally a red state. Since the state holds an open primary, and the Republican party already has a presumptive nominee, could we see a large amount of Republican voters voting for Clinton to drag the fight out longer?
Some of the right-wing pundits have been encouraging this for a little while and without the numbers in front of me I wouldn’t be surprised if it had an impact in states like Texas.
If not, here’s a great video where Sen. Obama is addressing the “Dream Ticket” that is all over the media since Clinton mentioned that that “may be where this is headed.” She of course thinks she should be on the top of that ticket, since the people in the state of Ohio voted in her favor. Nevermind, of course the people in the previous 12 states that selected Obama, or the people in the several states yet to vote.
The highlights:
The candidate in second place is offering the Vice Presidency to the candidate in first place.
Clinton swears up and down he isn’t ready, and that she is “on day one” — yet as President Bill Clinton said, the most important qualification for a VP is that he or she is ready to take over the job of the President, should they need to. Now how can he be ready for that, if he isn’t ready “on day one”
The Clinton campaign is grasping at straws here. Her last hope (since mud doesn’t seem to stick too well) seems to be “come on and vote for me, and you get Obama, too! … Please?”
I’m seeing a lot of weird comments on the internets, particularly on Twitter. The theme seems to be that Obama has somehow lost momentum, or that Clinton’s wins last night are somehow turning this race back the other way. The others are all about this Clinton/Obama ticket that even Hillary is talking about being an option as if she is now the frontrunner and needs to think about VP options…
People are entitled to their opinions of course, but I have to say that none of this is logical.
