Chelsea's employment is irrelevant.

I also saw Chelsea on Saturday. I thought her inflection was horrible. Her voice projected poorly, and she unintentionally sounded whiny and exhausted.

However, I was blown away by her substantive command of the issues and her command of the Q&A format(and I'm an Obama supporter). By choosing to forgo a prepared speech for almost an hour of straight Q&A, she pulled off the political equivalent of improv. It's like tightrope walking without a net- very, very difficult under the best of circumstances.

Chelsea Clinton works for a New York Hedge Fund called the Avenue Capital Group. This is a company which invests in the distressed debt market and which also happens to be run by folks who have been big financial supporters of her parents. (So much for getting her job on the merits.)

Investors in distressed securities typically make an assessment not only of the issuer’s ability to improve its operations but also whether the restructuring process increases the investors' wealth. This typically means things like stripping out pension assets and moving high wage jobs overseas.

Avenue Capital Group and firms like it profit from downturns in the economy and foreclosures and bankruptcies. There are more than a few voters in Pennsylvania, Indiana, North Carolina and beyond who have a right to hear how Chelsea Clinton rationalizes her chosen professional career with her pro-working man rhetoric.

I had the same perception of her at the Young Dem Convention...BORING! She may be a policy wonk but got to have a little "pow" on the stump. Chelsea is the snooze factor.

I'm sure she's just plain tired. And she ain't the one who wanted to run for office. Poor gal never asked for this.

At least as interesting is the fact that his property tax bill zoomed from $5700 in 2003 to $6400 in 2007, which reflects our local property tax hikes.

You can see why some of us in Charlotte live in mortal fear of this year's property revaluation by Mecklenburg County.

What this kind of post tells me is that it is mainly the wealthy that can even run for public office in NC.

I disagree, while this information will not influence my vote, I find it interesting. It is public information, that I do not have the time to look up, and I like that the Dome is doing it. Bonus points for finding tax values of second homes, I am sure Purdue, Smith, and Graham (maybe others) have at least one other home.

I don't get the point of this series of posts. why should we care what each candidate's house costs, or how wealthy they are?

Re: New voters could boost May 6 turnout

liam — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 17:05:44 -0500

It's not whether or not these non-voters, folks who never show up, will turn out. The interesting question is whether or not infrequent voters, those that vote only in presidential or high-interest elections, will turn out and vote in the May 6 primary.

If turnout was to jump 20 pts from 30 - 50 percent this year, it will be due primarily to an increase in infrequent voters, not new registrants.
