Random Stuff
Submitted by Aldon Hynes on Wed, 02/27/2008 - 21:41Last night I had a fairly prosaic dream. I was using some sort of PDA which a friend grabbed to show me how to do something on, and he accidentally reset it, deleting all the data. The rest of the dream was about backing up various PDAs.
It has been an uneventful day as I read through emails that have piled up. I may have a few summary posts about them coming as well.
On top of that, I'm feeling particularly run down. Some of it may simply be recuperating from the trip, but I may have picked up a virus along the way. I've been coughing a lot and my throat is scratchy.

Subj: What matters in this race
In just 24 hours, you closed the $1.3 million advertising gap with Obama this week. In response, their campaign has bought another $1.9 million worth of airtime.
For Hillary to win on March 4, we must close this gap -- and we have to do it quickly. We cannot let this race be decided by Obama's spending advantage on the air.
The email goes on to say, "So let's show the Obama campaign that they can't win this race just by throwing more money at it."
Um, how are they going to do this, by throwing more money at it? Maybe what matters in this race is size.
