A week is a real long time in life
That was a mad week.
Spent the later part if last week with the rest of Weber Shandwick’s UK and Ireland Leadership Team. We had a great get together the highlight of which was undoubted me getting a fly fishing hook stuck in my eyelid, ouch! All sorted now thanks to the nifty hands of our Scottish Deputy MD - Moray MCDonald, Chief Executive - Colin Byrne and a local doctor.
Anyway never mind my troubles poor old Hillary Clinton really is in a quagmire. After her good performance in the last primary it is now dawning on her campaign that she mathematically cannot win the popular vote for the nomination leaving her fate entirely in the hands of the super-delegates. Not a good place to be and fueling rumours that she is now only staying in the race to spoil Obama’s chances of winning in November.
On the home front our Education Minister’s problems are deepening. No doubt about it she is loosing the Assembly and rapidly loosing parents.
On the upside young Oisin turned eight and we had a great party. Princess Clara is four today. New week, new dawn!
Whilst I am inclined to support Hillary I now think it’s time she ended the divisive Democratic leadership contest by withdrawing her candidacy.
Continuing the campaign is helping the Republicans at a time we need to be working together get a Democratic President after eight years of appalling leadership by Mr Bush.
Sounds nasty (the eye thing).
When are you next in the Imperial capital? Time we met for a drink. I’m afraid I won’t be in the TOSC for a bit.
