The guy was in the national news as an attorney general for his prosecutions of Wall Street figures. Anybody who didn't know his party affiliation probably doesn't pay attention to the news anyways. You'd have a better case if it was a person who didn't have national exposure, like a mayor or representative. It's silly to even be discussing this non-issue.

She was one of the heads of a contribution committee, a volunteer position. And no one is whining about the 90% black vote, just pointing it out as a fact when people ask why Obama has won as much as he has. The race card is being played by the Obama campaign by treating any discussion of race as racist.

Her being there in part because she's a woman is a factual statement, which I have no problem with. Being married to Bill is part of her history and experience that would otherwise not be. Her winning in New Hampshire is credited to her late support from women. Historically, white men have been able to ascend in politics in part because they were white men, because voters weren't willing to give non-whites or women a chance. No one has said it's wrong that some people vote for Obama because of his ethnicity, they've just pointed out that it's a fact. Just as some people vote for Hillary because she's a woman. I would argue that it isn't the most important reason to support someone, but it is for some.

Like take her to a Bills game in Toronto?

The simple solution would have been to stop bringing her food, so she would have had to leave to eat. But like the 800 pound guys who get stuck in bed, there's always an enabler who perpetuates the problem.

It will be official when Bobby Ewing comes out of the shower and posts.

For Ferraro to be called a racist after stating the fact that Obama wouldn't be where he is without being black is ridiculous. He clearly is getting 90% of the black vote because in part due to his ethnicity, as well as votes from whites who feel that a non-white president would be a positive message to send to the world. He may very well still be contending if he was white based on his skills, but I doubt he would be getting 90% of the black vote, which has been the difference in many state primaries and caucuses. I'm disappointed that Hillary has distanced herself from Ferraro. The Obama campaign needs to be challenged on their repeated labeling people as racists because they point out the facts about how ethnicity is a factor in this election, just as gender is a factor for Hillary. If this continues, the Obama campaign risks pushing moderate white voters away who don't appreciate the race card being used without cause.

Most people know who Governor Eliot Spitzer is and his party affiliation, I doubt most people even heard of Larry Craig before his toe-tap episode. I think you're reaching with Glenn Beck talking points.

Didn't he graduate on 'Welcome Back Kotter'? I heard that the possible drug in question is Prozac.

But the gun lobby will say there are enough laws, they just need to be enforced. But then the administration and the previous Congress wouldn't continue the Cops program to put more police on the street to enforce the laws. And then they wanted to build more jails, but wouldn't fund afterschool programs to try to keep kids from turning to criminal activities. And so the vicious circle continues and nothing changes.

So am I, "a well regulated militia". I have no problem letting each household have single shot muskets or pistols like they did when the Constitution was written. I'm also OK with hunting rifles and shotguns. But I see no need for the public to have semi-automatic weapons and quick load pistols with clips. They should be restricted to the military and police. But I'm also realistic and know it will never change.

Email #7 - "Please forward ideas on how to "Swift-boat" George Tenet before his book comes out that will verify how VP Cheney pushed for and hyped one-sided intel about Iraq."

He would have been better off asking Bush to appoint her as a District Attorney or ambassador to Belguim, where who you know is more important than what you know.

Based on the difficult schedule, the uncertainty at RB, and what will be a less experienced defense, I think 8-8 is a realistic expectation. They'll be in the hunt for the lower wildcard slot but will come up a little short because of conference record.

I'm referring to the fact that those issues mean less air time on the news about Attorney-gate and other administration problems. At least now we know that rappin' Rove isn't the baby's daddy.

Don Imus, Larry Birkhead, and Sanjay are Karl Rove's answers to his prayers.

The conservatives that wanted Americans to stop importing French Fries and French Toast will be disappointed to hear that.

I admit that the other news media is biased towards the truth.

The Republicans have created a bit of a problem for themselves. If they pick a conservative candidate they can lose moderates and independents in the general election. If they pick a social moderate they could lose their evangelical base who usually votes in large numbers. It's going to be a difficult tightrope act for them, especially if they continue to back Bush's Iraq policy.

He contributed $50k towards the Swiftboat campaign against Kerry. Right before his nomination was going to be voted on, Bush withdrew the nomination since they figured he was going to be voted down, and didn't want that negative vote on record. Bush then waited until Congress left and made the appointment. There's still some question over whether it's legal, since in the past a person who was appointed this way still had their nomination pending in Congress, as was the case with John Bolton. The fact that Bush withdrew the nomination and then appointed might be legally interpreted as trying to avoid Congress' right to oversight.

Who said she was negotiating? She was just forwarding the views of some in the U.S. on issues related to Syria, which isn't against the interests of the U.S.. By the way, there was a representative from the State dept. with her delegation.

I think Cheney would be charged with a crime and arrested by the Secret Service. He would probably be impeached as Vice President, as he would never be sworn in as president, and the Speaker of the House would be sworn in as president.

McCain has moved to the right since 2000, and is now aligned with Bush's foreign policy, which is a reason why his poll numbers went down. There isn't really a true "moderate" running for the GOP, but based on his previous socal positions on abortion, gay rights, and gun control, RudyG is the closest. Whether he would actually do anything on those issues remains to be seen. I don't think a 3rd party candidate has a chance, the 2 major parties have too much control and influence over the process. In a 3 way race I think Bloomberg and RudyG would hurt each other and help Clinton.

...too bad it's for the WNBA. I suppose you could use it as practice for your NFL draft routine. Some of the "ladies" look like they could make the practice squad.
