The Party Candidate electoral process is different than the Presidential one. The only reason why there is so much attention is because it is history-making with regards to an African-American and a woman (and Former First Lady!) running for the candidacy of President.

Each state (w/Guam and Puerto Rico, technically 52) hold a primary election of all the candidates still in the race (many had dropped out). The top voters get a certain number of "delegates" based on the percentage of votes won. They have to receive a certain number (I think it's 2,050 but I am not sure) to win the Democratic candidacy. The Republican goal is 1,200 or so).

Both Clinton and Obama are close - with the group of superdelegates (individuals in government who have their say in who they elect) outside of the primaries. That could still put Hill over the top. That's just the Democratic Party!

The Republican party was completely narrowed down to John McCain some time ago.

But yes, it surprises me that there is so much coverage in Australia about us. . We're sick of it, too! ROTFL.

I keep up with the Myanmar stuff .
I look at the Joint Typhoon Warning Centers webpage for tropical activity. There is another tropical storm trying to form there. It is currently on land but is supposed to move out over the Bay of Bengal and intensify.

As for Hill Clinton and Bah-Rock Obama, I don't pay attention to 'em. They are just beating each other up. I think John McCain is the better candidate in the "other" US party. :)

Cool, Donnie Darko is my favorite movie. I also love the soundtrack with all of the Micheal Andrews piano songs. I'm not sure what is Jakes next movie. I watched a trailer for that Sunshine movie, it looks good. That song I heard that sounds like an orchestra song was also in the year 2000 movie Requiem For A Dream. The song is called Summer Overture by Clint Mansell. Which is also a good movie.
