It’s news time with your Kandy Korrespondent!

First off here’s the latest Candidate Candy:

Democratic Party Chairman, Howard Dean (whose infamous scream ended his nomination bid four years ago), warned that a prolonged Clinton-Obama battle has the potential to hurt the party’s chances against John McCain in November’s presidential election.

Meanwhile both campaigns continued their struggle on Monday to derail the others’ lead. In North Carolina, Barack Obama sought to spread his magnetism to working-class voters—who throughout the primaries have remained solidly in Hilary’s camp. He told a rally that he was going to take their questions rather than give them another party speech. “I want you to be able to lift the hood, and kick the tires, you know, take me out for a test drive a little bit”

Senator Clinton got a boost on Monday night when a new AP poll placed her leading John McCain by 9 points.

The next democratic primaries will occur on May 6th in North Carolina, and Indiana.
It takes 2,024 delegates to capture the democratic nomination but as it stands now, neither candidate could capture that many from the remaining primaries.

He must have heard about me being a playwright, and in a sweetly desperate attempt to get to know me, decided to give theater a try.

That’s what I’m telling myself, anyway.

People.com reports that my boyfriend, aka Jake Gyllenhaal, is considering a fall run on Broadway in a new play entitled Farragut North. The political drama would center on an “idealistic communications director” working for the campaign of a political candidate supposedly based of 2004 Presidential nominee Howard Dean.

(Who, for the record, I never stopped liking. Even after he went Incredible Hulk at that rally.)

Gyllenhaal hasn’t committed to the play just yet, but you can guess that as soon as he does, I will A) let you know and B) buy a front row ticket for as long as that show runs*.
