I graduated Summa Cum Laude from the University of Missouri-Columbia and received two degrees: Journalism and Political Science. I also spent a year studying abroad in Singapore, where I studied with former TIME magazine journalists and tracked terrorist group movements in Southeast Asia as part of an investigative piece. I also received an International Radio and Television Society Fellowship and worked in the breaking news department of World News Tonight.
I joined the news team at KXAN Austin News in March of 2005.

Jenny,
A question for you.
If the delegates and the superdelegates can vote as the please not necessarily representing the voters of their precincts, then why should a voter even bother to vote when there isn’t any real representation of the majority ?

Typically, the superdelegates do support who the majority of their party voted for because the aim of the convention is to build excitement and not division. By the time the DNC rolls around, there is usually a clear nominee. This will be one of the rare times the superdelegates will have an impact and it will mostly come down to a lot of wooing the delegates at the convention. The party sets its own rules and these are the rules those who are actively involved in the process for the democratic side have decided. They can change the rules at any time and may do so if this proves to be too convoluted and unfair a process.

Jenny, I saw your piece on TYC and Daniel Bryant.
I was his Caseworker , I am now retired, but I would like to get word to him that I am very proud of him for what he is trying to achieve.

I watch you every Sunday now. I have been working on a bill at the Statehouse that never got sponsored #81R2249 MSE-D. You can also find a 5 pager that Jonathan Mathers and I wrote and then gave it off to Watson and Dukes on 8/22/08. If I am right the bill could have saved as much as half of the State’s annual budget. In the end I was just trying to get them to correct the state’s existing TX Child Lead Poisoning Prevention Program, that has worked dispite it using EPA safe threshold that EPA has now stated was 90% too high for the last 40 years. It costs the state $7 to test a child for lead, why not add Mercury, which is 1 in 3 in general population nationally?
