Nicole Price, the Maryland political director of Obama's campaign told the Washington Times that when she arrived in the state to ramp up the campaign.

Clinton aide urges seating delegates
(snip)
AS of Saturday, the delegate count stood at 1,280 for Obama and 1,218 for Clinton. If the DNC were to award Michigan and Florida's 313 delegates based on the vote in their primaries, she would be ahead because she won both states.
On Saturday, Ickes reiterated the campaign's view that new "redo" votes in Florida and Michigan aren't necessary. He said many superdelegates are elected lawmakers or governors who are supposed to exercise their independent judgment to vote contrary to public opinion if they believe another candidate has a better chance of winning.
In response, the Obama campaign said Ickes' viewpoint runs counter to democratic principles.
I'm not seeing how it's undemocratic to count votes in an election already held. It wasn't the voters that screwed up.

Or it wasn't the voters that voted. Michigan only went for Hillary because the organizational system got once-every-thousand-years fouled up by its Republican legislature. Hillary was literally the only candidate Michigan Democrats were allowed to vote for. Florida is ... fucked up as a matter of definition. Really Michigan was split between two Republicans who have dropped out, Romney (a native Michigander who actually bothered to notice that we're fucking dying over here) and Paul (the only candidate on either side witrh the kind of grassroots activity and visibility that he had).

Evidence of a covert campaign to undermine the presidential primaries is rife, so it's curious that the Democractic Party and even some within the G.O.P. have ignored the actual elephant in the room this year. That would be Karl Rove. After rigging two previous presidential elections, this master of deceit would have us believe that he's gone off to sit in a corner and write op-eds.
Not so. According to an article in Time Magazine, Republican party activists have been organized to throw their weight behind Barack Obama, the democratic rival of frontrunner Hillary Clinton. Early in Obama's campaign, major G.O.P. fundraisers and several recently indicted figures in Chicago flushed his coffers with cash, something the deep pockets hadn't done for any candidate in their own party. With receipts topping $100 million in 2007, the first-term Illinois senator broke the record for contributions. It was a remarkable feat, considering that most Americans had not even heard of him before 2005.
The Rezko connection has not been discussed much either. I have to find some links to verify what I've read. I didn't know that the Fitz himself is investigating Rezko. I think the trial is at the end of February.

Here's a little more history you won't find at HuffPost or The Nation: At the time of his senate run, Obama was a relatively small-town player, a former law professor and two-term state legislator who lost a congressional race against African American incumbent bobbie Rush in 2000. Obama's first significant donor in the 1990's was Antoin "Tony" Rezko, a Chicago power broker and developer who tried to recruit him out of law school. After graduating from Harvard, Obama instead hired on with a community nonprofit agency called Project VOTE, where he spent a few months organizing inner city voter registration drives. He later joined the prestigious law firm ____,whose clients included Rezko.
Obama worked on (and later endorsed as a senator) a series of low-income housing development deals in which Rezko and his partner, Woodlawn Preservation and Investment, collected $855,000 in development fees. Later, while Rezko was busy fundraising for Obama's senate race, tenants were having their heat cut off and other maintenance issues left unaddressed. The City of Chicago eventually sued Rezko, and an F.B.I. investigation led to a felony indictment. Rezko is charged with illegally obtaining income through kickbacks and bribes. A trial is set to begin February 25th.
Link above (below?) I need to get another source for this before I believe it. My Chicago relatives say it's true (big deal!) but I think they are Republicans.

... But it is highly unlikely that Rezko gets off. He just got nailed for lying to the Judge about his alleged poverty and was promptly arrested for hiding millions of dollars overseas. And he is up against Patrick Fitzgerald. Pat Fitzgerald does not go to court unprepared and does not have a record of losing, particularly in Illinois.

People are whining about the superdelegates like the whole nomination process is some pure system. It's a mish-mash of caucuses and primaries, some proportional, some winner-take-all.
And I'm rather pissed that my vote won't count because Dr. Dean and the DNC couldn't resolve their pissing contest with the MI Dem bigwigs - especially when "rules is rules" wasn't applied to IA, NH and SC, which also broke party rules.

but when they were held, the momentum favored Clinton while now it favors Obama.
What? They didn't favor the one WHO WASN'T A PART OF THEM? How could that happen?
However you come down on it, what we need to keep foremost is assessing
the voters' intent, not which candidate is helped or harmed.
Besides the creepy self-contradictoriness, this isn't something that's going to help when she did 50% in a race with herself.
Elections happen in a particular time and place, in a particular context.

You're seriously putting forth that argument? Unbelievable. The issue is simple. The elections held were broken, no way the results have merit. Only option is to ignore the results, either by 50/50 split or revote.

Yup -- we were told that the Michigan (& Florida) delegates would not be seated -- period.
I was (& still am at heart) an Edwardian -- I was not allowed to vote for my preferred candidate.
Some sort of do-over for the voters of Michigan & Florida would make sense to me, but I also accept that the entire process is not & never has been "democratic".
I also think it is foolish to think that enough super delegates will throw the nomination to Senator Clinton if it is clear that the voters really want Senator Obama -- presumably the super delegates want to win in November, too!

What I don't like is the zealotry and the ad hominems or feminems, as the case may be. After too many years of Republican meanness, I am sick to death of those tactics and attitudes. We need to get positive and respectful again. Here. Now.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Harold Ickes, a top adviser to Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign who voted for Democratic Party rules that stripped Michigan and Florida of their delegates, now is arguing against the very penalty he helped pass.
In a conference call Saturday, the longtime Democratic Party member contended the DNC should reconsider its tough sanctions on the two states, which held early contests in violation of party rules. He said millions of voters in Michigan and Florida would be otherwise disenfranchised - before acknowledging moments later that he had favored the sanctions.

What JeffCO said @ 9:36 pm (& I speak as one who would not vote between these two candidates -- I have serious reservations about both & am happy to vote for which ever one most other people want to be the nominee)
The opint is that MI (& I guess FL) Democrats were told that their dlegates would not be seated -- that their votes would not count -- hence the suggestions from Lord Atrios & the Great Orange Satan that Michigan Dems should vote for Mitt (which is what the monks did)

""Stick a fork in him" is a fact?
Wow. Who knew?
Rmj, Bemused Theologist"
Opinion based on facts. Didn't know I had to point out every sentence from each of my posts.
Since 2003, executives and employees of Exelon, which is based in Illinois, have contributed at least $227,000 to Mr. Obama’s campaigns for the United States Senate and for president. Two top Exelon officials, Frank M. Clark, executive vice president, and John W. Rogers Jr., a director, are among his largest fund-raisers.
Another Obama donor, John W. Rowe, chairman of Exelon, is also chairman of the Nuclear Energy Institute, the nuclear power industry’s lobbying group, based in Washington. Exelon’s support for Mr. Obama far exceeds its support for any other presidential candidate.
In addition, Mr. Obama’s chief political strategist, David Axelrod, has worked as a consultant to Exelon. A spokeswoman for Exelon said Mr. Axelrod’s company had helped an Exelon subsidiary, Commonwealth Edison, with communications strategy periodically since 2002, but had no involvement in the leak controversy or other nuclear issues. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/0...&hp&

According to Edward McClelland, writing for Salon.com, "Rezko, after all, built part of his fortune by exploiting the black community that Obama had served in the state Senate, and by milking government programs meant to benefit black-owned businesses." While it may be unclear why Obama would continue his relationship with Rezco after this point, it's indisputable that he did. In 2005, Obama approached Rezko for help in purchasing a $2 million Georgian-revival home in a Chicago suburb. The property deal involved two adjoining lots that the owner wanted to sell together. Rezko's wife bought the first, while Obama acquired the parcel with the mansion for $300,000 less than the asking price.
Although no laws were apparently broken in the transaction, the Rezko trail represents a serious liability for Obama should he reach the general election next fall. In the meantime, many of Obama's campaign donations have since been tied to sources named in the federal indictment. While the Chicago Sun-Times puts the figure of tainted cash at $168,000, the senator initially agreed to give half that amount to charity, but only as an "abundance of caution", a senior staffer said. Later, after NBC Nightly News grudgingly broadcast a story about the affair, the campaign announced it would donate the entire amount.
As the author says no laws were apparently broken in the Obama's real estate transaction. The allegations about Rezko "milking government contracts" reflect poorly on Obama's judgement at the very least.
I hope you are going to be joining u the night the Ohio and Texas returns come in, and we can discuss your claim that Obama will be folding.

If Hillary is elected, we would want her to have a successful term and be re-elected in 2012, which would ensure 28 years of Bush-Clinton rule. This is fucking Amerika. There are 300 million motherfucking peoples whose names aren't Clinton or Bush. FUCK THESE ELITE. FUCK THEM TO HELL.

I'd say the first problem is there is no FBI mole that taped Hillary having numerous meetings with Illinois own jack abramoff. I'd say the second problem is obama is deeply involved in a messy situation, a real one, and Hillary isn't.

Yanno, Pape Clement, the really annoying thing about NTodd is that he does these embarrassingly stupid things like trying to inform folks of ways to actually register their opposition to the powers that have taken us into an illegal war, and then, to make it even worse, actually does some of those things (like going to Washington, DC and confronting our elected representatives on the issues).
Fine and all, but the Clinton was one of those who took us into the wars.

When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful,
A miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical.
And all the birds in the trees, well theyd be singing so happily,
Joyfully, playfully watching me.
But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible,
Logical, responsible, practical.
And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable,
Clinical, intellectual, cynical.
There are times when all the worlds asleep,
The questions run too deep
For such a simple man.
Wont you please, please tell me what weve learned
I know it sounds absurd
But please tell me who I am.
Now watch what you say or theyll be calling you a radical,
Liberal, fanatical, criminal.

Casual Conversation
It doesn’t matter what I say
You never listen anyway
Just don’t know what you’re looking for
Imagination’s all I have
But ever then you say it’s bad
Just can’t see why we disagree
Casual conversations how they bore me
They go on and on endlessly
But no matter what I say
You ignore me anyway
I might as well talk in my sleep (I could weep)
You try to make me feel so small
Until there’s nothing left at all
Why go on? just hoping that we’ll get along

There is an incident which bothered the hell out of us, and which also nicely illustrates why we never wrote our "war book." In Swofford's Jarhead there's a scene where a joshing marine dons and clears a gas mask, then pretends to be Darth Vader. For this he was sued by that other guy who did Baghdad Express, because Baghdad Express also has a scene with a Darth Vader impression aided by a gas mask. Each of us has separate but pretty much indistinguishable experiences along these lines. In fact, everyone does. It is apparently a near-instinctive thing for all Americans after the release of Star Wars. And Swofford got fucking sued for it.
Someone mentioned a Black Agenda Report posting upthread. I check in on them periodically (mostly it was because of the Edwards-Wynn race); they have a strongly progressive stance, and as such, they are a minority within a minority. They are particularly anti-corporatist, and compliment/critique candidates accordingly - the last non-Obama/Clinton thing I read over there was a positive piece on Kucinich, who they feel (with some justification, IMO) was, at least in part, maneuvered out of the race by the powers-that-be (e.g., MCM).
They concentrate a lot of their fire on Obama in particular, based on their current and intended (reader) market. Most of the other Af-Am blogs I read -- admittedly a small sampling of the thousands that are out there -- are extremely pro-Obama, or as Philly blogger Field Negro calls them, Obamaholics (his own wife included).
I love FN's blog -- check out the stuff on the right margin for a laugh or two -- but I sure as hell miss Gilliard, especially at moments like this. RIP, man.

He doesn't hear an answer so he continues stealing when he hears the voice again,"Jesus is watching you." He finds the source this time and it is a large parrot. He confronts the parrot and says, "What are you talking about? Jesus is watching you? That's stupid! What's your name anyway?" The parrot replies, "Herbert." The thief says, "That's a stupid name. Who named you that?" The parrot answered, "The same guy who named the Pit Bull Jesus."

. . . and again the problem with war is not only the immediate but the echoes that last far longer. I read this. I am not sure what I even think about it. There is so much that is amazing that I find it just staggering.
AMSTERDAM, Netherlands — Several dozen people protested outside a theater today where a 104-year-old singer who once performed for Adolf Hitler took the stage in the Netherlands for the first time in four decades.
Johannes Heesters was never accused of being a propagandist or anything other than an actor who was willing to perform for the Nazis, and the Allies allowed him to continue his career after the war. But in his native country he is viewed by some as irredeemable.
"He kept singing for the Nazi regime, for the Wehrmacht, and he earned millions," said Piet Schouten, representative of a committee formed to protest Heesters' performance at De Flint theater in Amersfoort.
"Those are facts and we have a problem with that on behalf of all the victims" he told national broadcaster NOS.
In 1964, Heesters was booed off the stage in Amsterdam when he tried to appear as Nazi-hating Captain von Trapp in "The Sound of Music."
No disturbances were reported during today's concert in Amersfoort, where Heesters was born in 1903.
Heesters, who lives in Germany, has been a popular figure in German-language cabaret since the 1930s. Today, he performed "The Merry Widow," the German song that made him famous, and "There by the Windmill," a Dutch classic, among others. At times he asked his wife, on stage with him, to remind him of lines but his voice was steady.
How do you live with that much hate and bigotry, brian?

As a result of a “technical glitch,” in 2006, the FBI received access to “e-mail messages from an entire computer network — perhaps hundreds of accounts or more — instead of simply the lone e-mail address that was approved by a secret intelligence court as part of a national security investigation.” The episode is an example of a “regular if little-noticed occurrence,” but has received “no discussion” in the congressional debate over expanding the government’s wiretapping powers.

His mother, Stanley Ann Dunham, was the white daughter of a Kansas furniture and insurance salesman who had wanted a son, and who moved to Hawaii on the eve of statehood in search of a new lease on life. She loved the speeches of Martin Luther King Jr. and the music of Mahalia Jackson, and thought Harry Belafonte was, as her son remembers, “the best-looking man on the planet.” At 18, she met and married Barack Hussein Obama Sr., a former Kenyan goatherd and an economist-in-training who had recently become the first African student in the history of the University of Hawaii—this in 1960, a time when inter-racial marriage was still illegal in almost half the mainland states. The couple divorced in 1963, when their son was just 2, and Barack met his father (who ultimately claimed paternity of a total of eight children by four women before dying in a car crash at age 52, in 1983) precisely once more in his life—for a month, at Christmas, in Honolulu, when he was 10.

This is nitpicky, but Obama says in his speech he was raised by a single mom who got pregnant with him as a teen. Looking at his bio from the Vanity Fair article, that's a bit of a stretch. Yes, his mom was a teen when she had him, although over 18 and married, divorcing after she turned 21. So it's not quite like being born a poor black child of a single underaged teen mom which is the impression I was left with. And he may be from the south side of Chicago now, but those weren't the streets he grew up on, as to his streetfighting skills.
But I guess all politicians, even the saintly ones, do it, wax a bit hyperbolic. Not to wave a red flag in front of the more fervid of his supporters here..just trying to bring a bit of nuance to the discussion.

from the psychology today article by jay dixit linked by the prior:
On the political left, she wrote, "There was little sympathy for the victims," and it seemed to her that progressives were "consumed with hatred for this country" and had "extended their misguided sympathies to tyrants and terrorists."
an idiotic impression that one could only get if your only information about "what progressives think" was garnered from right wing radio rant show hosts.
and just who is "jay dixit", anyway? a dumb punk, that's who:
a 32 yr old sometime psych major at yale, technical product evangelist, associate product manager, research editor, web "programmer" (so he should like to call it although it doesn't appear that he codes in anything besides HTML), and currently, i guess, freelance "journalist"

Oh god yes. When that idea was first put out there it was a real idea. The remake had as much need and appeal and reasoning as the Manchurian Candidate remake.
I'm picturing that scene in the film where Denethor is sloppily cramming chicken and fruits into his maw.
Which brings to mind: In this hopeless age of implying character through superficialities, instead of debates, let's have a candidate's dinner.
Remember that conference where Bush idly shoved a buttered rool in his mouth while talking to Blair?
Let's observe the candidates' table manners before we elect them.

LubeYankme, dod you know that a Texas governor [Bush] is nothing more than a photo-op position, a few months a year of 'work' and that its the LT. Governor that does the work?
Bush had no real political experience, yet that didnt stop the conservatives who didnt know any better from backing an untested, inexperienced person who used Rove, a hack, as his brain.

Ann next married an Indonesian national named Lolo Soetoro. She eventually began pursuing a Ph.D. in anthropology that required frequent fieldwork in Indonesia, and Barack spent four years of his childhood there, in the world’s most populous Muslim nation. Because his mother wanted Barack to have the best possible bite at the American Dream, she left him in Hawaii for much of his adolescence in the care of his maternal grandparents, Stanley and Madelyn Dunham, who fed him a poly-cultural diet of sashimi and Jell-O with grapes, and got him admission and a scholarship to the prestigious Punahou School, in Honolulu. He arrived there in fifth grade as a round-faced boy with baby fat, and left the lanky figure of today.
Obama was the only black student at Punahou. His family made sure he had the best education possible.
The article has an adorable photo of little Barack swinging a baseball bat.
Well, I like both Clinton and Obama, I'll vote for either one. Probably not going to make myself get a sore throat cheering for either one as I just don't do that sort of thing any more. Not a big fan of the bashing, willing to start either of them off with a clean slate in office. That's all I'm going to say on the matter from now on till we get the general going and I can be rude about the old white guy. What? I'm no saint either and I do want to have a little fun

Two different situations. MI's Democratic Party and governor chose to move their primary up. Voters had no choice, but the party sure did.
FL's Dems had basically no choice, as the R's who controlled both houses of the legislature wanted to move up the primary, wanted to create problems for the Dems and wanted a tax referendum passed.
FL's Democratic voters, and the party, had no say in determining the date--but the voters turned out in record numbers to vote among all the candidates. I think I saw 40% or registered Dems voted in the primary. Wow!
MI voters were given a frustrating selection--Hillary, Kucinich, or leave it to the party. Couldn't even write in names!
I would say FL gets seated as is and MI can do a caucus or pay for a statewode primary (which they probably can't afford--but maybe Obama can cover. Yeah, that's the ticket.).

LAKELAND, Fla. -- Eight or so feet from a big, framed picture of Ty Cobb that stretches across the wall opposite his desk, Jim Leyland has settled this week into his third season as Tigers manager. . . Leyland's job in 2008 is to win a World Series. Period. If the right people stay healthy -- and it is hardly a given -- the Tigers have the talent to beat any team in baseball. Not in 1968, not in 1984, the last two world-championship years for the Tigers, has Detroit been as strong going into spring training as it is in 2008.

I don't even know if *I* believe this but I was thinking the other day that it would be harder for the Republicans to attack Barack because of the obvious. It is easier to pick on your enemy when they are the "Same" as you. When they are perceived to be different, then each attack is also perceived not as an attack on them, but as an attack on their "Differentness."
But, then again, they are Republicans and they know no other way.

"Abstract Art vs. Talk Radio: The Political Personality Standoff
Most people are surprised to learn that there are real, stable differences in personality between conservatives and liberals—not just different views or values, but underlying differences in temperament. Psychologists John Jost of New York University, Dana Carney of Harvard, and Sam Gosling of the University of Texas have demonstrated that conservatives and liberals boast markedly different home and office decor. Liberals are messier than conservatives, their rooms have more clutter and more color, and they tend to have more travel documents, maps of other countries, and flags from around the world. Conservatives are neater, and their rooms are cleaner, better organized, more brightly lit, and more conventional. Liberals have more books, and their books cover a greater variety of topics. And that's just a start. Multiple studies find that liberals are more optimistic. Conservatives are more likely to be religious. Liberals are more likely to like classical music and jazz, conservatives, country music. Liberals are more likely to enjoy abstract art. Conservative men are more likely than liberal men to prefer conventional forms of entertainment like TV and talk radio. Liberal men like romantic comedies more than conservative men. Liberal women are more likely than conservative women to enjoy books, poetry, writing in a diary, acting, and playing musical instruments."

apparantly not even if mccain gets elected since so many conservatives tell me he's not a real republican...
It's clear that only one of Hillary or Barack is going to be the presidential nominee.
It's also clear that if Hillary should win the thing, she'd be crazy not to beg Obama to take the second slot.
If (as I now think) Obama gets the nod, I hope Hillary will have the class to work like a demon to get him elected. I don't know if Obama would offer her the VP position, and to be honest I don't think she'd take it.
I would be very happy to see either one elected. I would be very happy to see any genuine Democrat elected.
Two words, folks: Supreme Court.
As the good Prof Wombat has said repeatedly, keep your eyes on the prize. And the prize, not to be melodramatic about it, is the Constitution and ultimately the country as we grew up with it, with stuff like habeas corpus and freedom of speech, y'know, inessential stuff like that the Republicans have waged a thirty years' war against.

you'd never know it from the way you apes worship your Chimp-In-Chief, mindlessly allowing him to lose three wars, loot the treasury, lie to Congress and the people, and shred the Constitution. Whether the democrats turn off millions doesn't matter, the Republicans have turned off over 70% of the American people. You're done, ruined and fucked.

You know you are right, of course. It still disturbs me that somehow the news people have gotten this idea that their job is to simply read the news releases that the government puts out.
That bullshit satellite story is a prime example. Last night Josh had a couple of pretty decent links at his site to people who are laughing their asses off because of the lies that are being told about the necessity of "Shooting down this dangerous pieces of space debris."
Yet, on my local TV the grave faced pretty lady intoned the words in all seriousness. They could have simply did a Google search on the thing and come up with the sites and read for themselves. But they do not.
They will not. I guess it is like Cheech and Chong going. "That's not my job, hom!"

Please, Allen. I've been threatened by experts. You don't even rate the bush leagues. Go back to your transvestism and YouTube videos and leave the rest of us rational people alone.

America is already done. You just haven't realized it yet.
Ooooh, gloom and doom.
So let's not bother to vote. Let's just crawl into the fetal position and prepare for the end.

It'll take decades to get rid of them.
Not to mention all of the government agencies, like the FDA, the EPA, yadda yadda...
We're gonna need a HUGE broom.

I recall how the last presidential candidate with a name starting with "Mc" was despised and abandoned by the bosses of his party, a thought so stunningly superficial that I oughta be on the TeeVee.

You do realize, do you not, people, that in a little over a quarter of an hour from this very moment our beloved country will be UNSAFE? The terrorists are very likely even now sitting with their itchy dialing fingers poised over the keypads of countless cell phones purchased for them by illegal aliens who poured in over our unprotected and broken boarders pausing only long enough to vote several times with fake ID's they assembled from pirate bittorrents hosted on a Soros funded off shore website. The announce URL's of which were hidden via steganography in photoshopped montages of Bill O'Reilley doing things to Rush and Hannity that are expressly prohibited by constitutional amendment in any state with a Baptist Church to Starbucks ratio of greater than 3 to 1. But I digress...
Evil plans will zing untapped along the copper wires fashioned in days of yore by non-unionized Americans who were damn thankful to have a company store at which to hold a credit account...where was I? Oh yeah...We should be at Terror Threat Level Infra Red by now! Every soldier not in Iraq should be training his 50 caliber on hordes of suspects---lists have to be made! We are falling behind!!!

Karin is smarter than I am. She's right.
It's just that I hear the attorneys I work for bitching about the federal judges all the time. They are totally pro-corporation, anti-consumer.

Well, be careful about the size of the broom if it is the one my employer is going to stick up my butt so I can sweep the floor as I walk around the hospital.

That pic is straight out of "American Spectator," and the writing isn't much better...
It's so fucked up because it makes Hillary into the witch and Dorothy and the same time.

Yes, Senators are the only ones able to effect change. Thanks so much for trying really, really hard to get off the couch to do something!

So I don't think I've ever seen "Duke Future" before, but Killfile has blocked him.
Without you specifically having to do it? I guess it's not going by name to block people. Interesting.

will be going to the newphew's 16 b-day party soon which will be celebrated in typical voltaire family fashion by allowing him to watch the grownups get drunk until 3am
have you all ever heard of a french card game called Tarot? this is not the same as the fortune telling tarot cards, but rather a contract game like bridge played with an expanded deck in french with four face cards and extra trump suite cards...
Very true. I did not intend to imply otherwise. I'm very sorry if that's how it was taken.
Sure you didn't. Now how about sharing?

Its touching, NTodd, to view this faith in your own ego - the "I" that goes out and gets things done in the world. Pat yourself on the back. You've done Nietzche and Freud proud. You're so fucking modern man. And you've got the roadmap too.

But then it remembered: There's nowhere outside the U.S. where winger idjits aren't hunted for their blubber.
Man, those comments at Mary Scot O'Nutcase's place are truly classic... a big discussion bitching about "the pc police" because someone pointed out how offensive the "witch" graphic was.
And you've got the roadmap too.
