This Patriotcast podcast begins with a few quick comments on Eliot Spitzer, Ziff-Davis filing for bankruptcy, iPhone rumors and other Apple rumors. The second segment of the podcast addresses Reverend Jeremiah Wright, his inflammatory comments and responsibility on the speaker and the listener. The third segment briefly discusses the sub prime mortgage crisis, namely, how it started, the collapse of Bear Sterns and who is responsible.

Just when you thought the primaries would come to an end, the results in Texas and Ohio distort the election landscape. I discuss the results and the need for a candidate to step down. I address the issues surrounding the Florida and Michigan primaries, how the superdelegates can destroy the party, and I make recommendations to the Democratic Party. In the next segment I discuss the President’s endorsement of John McCain along with other factors that may affect the election. I then discuss Fortune Magazine’s announcement that this year Apple is the number one Most Admired Company along with two related articles concerning Apple’s success and, “The Trouble With Steve Jobs.” This episode closes with Apple’s release of the software development kit for the iPhone and the formation of a $100 million fund for start-ups developing for the iPhone.

This episode is all about election politics. I begin by defining superdelegates and discussing the potential legal battles at the democratic convention. Next I explore the implications of Mitt Romney’s action this week, namely, the release of his delegates to John McCain. I conclude with a discussion about the influence of the independent voter and the one real issue voters would like to see resolved – partisan paralysis.
