She was just back in the Senate yesterday voting on bills. She doesn't have to be in the building to conduct business, her assistants keep her up to date on issues. If you have a specific issue you need help with that only she can resolve, give her office a call.

We'd have been in much better shape if the Electoral College sided with the popular vote in 2000. I'm still waiting for someone to show me where Hillary is breaking the rules. You're just reaching at straws now because it kills you when you're wrong.

Of course you're not supporting Hillary because she owes some bills. Nevermind the fact that the majority of Americans owe money on their credit cards and don't pay up front. Try again.

You could always do a write-in vote to show your preference. I'm considering doing it.

Read up on the rules, last time I checked superdelegates can vote for whoever they want for whatever reason. Even pledged delegates can switch if they want. And Florida/Michigan is TBD by the DNC. So nothing Hillary is doing is against the rules.

It was good until the end. C'mon, tap water hurts the aliens? They weren't rock creatures, so they had to have liquid inside of them. It's a contradiction.

Another distortion of facts. She is not mathematically eliminated. She can't pass Obama in pledged delegates, but neither has the number of pledged delegates needed to win the nomination. She can get the nomination with the support of superdelegates, or if pledged delegates switch their votes at the convention. It may be a long shot, but it is not a mathematical certainty that she is eliminated. It's the Obama elitist arrogance of arithmetic.

I suspect that those other states would have been similar had the Rev Wright controversy been exposed by the media at the start of the primaries instead of waiting as long as they did. Did he vote against it? No, because he wasn't in Congress. It's easy to say what you'd do when you don't have to do it. But then when he became Senator he voted for Iraq funding appropriations. If he wanted to make a consistant statement he would have voted against any funding for Iraq.

I understand quite well that Obama cozied up to Wright to get street cred in Chicago when he was a local candidate, and then had to distance himself as a national candidate. But as said before, that just makes him the same old calculating politician that he and his supporters claim he isn't, and shoots down that claim of "change". To not realize that obvious fact would be dense.

Commissioners are hired and given power by the owners, so in the end whatever may be wrong falls back on the owners. I give Bettman credit for overseeing the expansion of the NHL into the south and for bringing some order to the salary structure, but on the negative side the league has done a poor job of maximizing their television exposure by leaving ESPN and by not continuing the strict calling of interference penalties as they did after the lockout.

I thought this was going to be an obituary thread. I think he's best as a supporting actor.

"He could be asleep on his feet, he could be grazing, or he could be daydreaming about a herd of lady buffaloes." This could just as easily be used to describe a Bills fan.

The ones he learned from Rev Wright, or the ones he showed when he threw him under the bus with grandma when they became a liability?

People say they don't believe what Hillary says. What do you think she's going to do that contrasts with what she's said if she's president? Do you think she's going to continue the Bush policy in Iraq? Not increase diplomatic efforts internationally? Do you think she's not going to push for healthcare? Is she going to lower the taxes on the wealthiest? Appoint conservative judges? I'm voting on the issues and who I think can best enact them. I'll leave voting for personality to American Idol.

I want the Penguins but I won't be suprised if the Red Wings win due to their veteran experience. Would be ironic if at some point the backup goalies played; former Sabres Hasek and Conklin. The Penguin's Wilkes-Barre Scranton AHL farm team is still competing in their semi-finals, playing the probable new farm team location for Buffalo, the Portland Pirates. So the Penguins must have some young talent they'll be able to use in the future.

She stated a correct fact. According to the DNC ruling at the time, the election wasn't going to be counted. But she believed it should, and will make that arguement when the DNC committee rules on Florida and Michigan after the primaries. I expect they will end up seating half the delegates, or all the delegates but only let them count as half a delegate vote. But once they are seated, those who say the popular vote doesn't count won't have an arguement because it will have been used to determine the delegate split, which will make it legitimate in the eyes of the DNC.

They signed an agreement not to campaign. It was the DNC that said the delegates wouldn't be seated. The candidates didn't agree to that, that's what they were told. Even if the delegates aren't seated, the people did vote and their votes are on record. Private donations were lined up to pay for the revotes in both states. Money wasn't the issue. The governors said they were willing to allow revotes, but they wanted all parties to agree that it should take place. If they did they would have revoted in June. Hillary agreed, the DNC agreed, but Obama wouldn't agree.

So many people with so many mistakes, I don't know where to start. Let's see, Ohio, Penn., WV, Florida, Michigan, and Kentucky are racist because they're swing states that went for Hillary. White people voting for Hillary are racist because she's white, black people voting for Obama because he's black aren't racist. Women vote for Hillary because she's a woman, men vote for Obama because he's inspirational, not because he's a man. So much for consistancy. If she gets the nomination by getting enough superdelegates to vote for her, which is the requirement since neither can win with pledged delegates, she's stealing it, even though Obama hasn't won it yet. But if Obama gets the nomination by convincing enough superdelegates to vote for him, he's not stealing it, even if she gets more popular votes. In Michigan Obama took his name off the ballot, it wasn't required, because he knew he was going to lose and wanted a way to discredit Clinton's projected win. He still told voters to vote Uncommitted, and of those votes, not all can be claimed by him since many may have been for Edwards. And I was always for a revote in both states, as was Hillary, but Obama's representatives blocked it, because they knew it was politically advantageous to disinfranchise those voters.

A 35% win in another swing state, one that was won twice by Bill Clinton in the general election, and is again in play in 2008. The momentum in swing states is clearly on Hillary's side, and with her once again taking the lead in popular votes, the superdelegates are going to have to decide if they're going to vote with their heads and choose her or vote with their hearts for Obama. Despite Obama and his supporters declaring Mission Accomplished prematurely last night, the majority of voters have said that Hillary is their choice. Obama just hasn't put any meat on the 'change' bones to convince blue collar workers that he'll fight for them and their issues. And on a side note, I wonder why Obama has his young children in Iowa on stage after 9pm on a school night. What kind of message does that send on the importance of education.

Kennedy has been diagnosed as having a malignant brain tumor. The usual course of treatment includes combinations of various forms of radiation and chemotherapy.

I still have a Marx electric train set that my parents got me back in the '60s. The original transformer still works. Also from the '60s is the old metal vibrating football game. From the early '80s are a duel cassette boom box and a Spider-man phone.

That's not much of an accomplishment. He's not a clone, but on the major policy issues of Iraq, Iran, taxes, healthcare, and judicial appointments he follows the Bush handbook. A new coach using the same playbook means more losing seasons.

No, this only deals with civil and religious marriages being recognized by the gov't. Religious groups are free to include/exclude whoever they want. It's more to give them the same legal rights as married couples.

I didn't say Saudi Arabia. We're in countries all around Saudi Arabia and the strait. The police don't have to live in your house to make you feel safe if they're just down the street.
