WASHINGTON - Sen. John McCain was projected to be the winner of primaries in Connecticut, New Jersey and Illinois on Tuesday night, reaching for command of the race for the Republican presidential nomination.

In the the hotly contested coast-coast struggle for the Democratic nomination, Sen. Barack Obama was projected to take two victories, one in his home state of Illinois, a big prize on Super Tuesday, while Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton was also projected to win two states, Oklahoma and Tennessee.

NBC News projected that McCain would win in GOP contest in Connecticut, Illinois and New Jersey, and Mitt Romney would win in Massachusetts, where he once was governor. Earlier, former Arkansas Gov. Huckabee, won a deal-laden Republican convention in West Virginia.

McCain Didn’t Close the Deal ***NEW***
by Jed Babbin


John McCain’s strong showing in the February 5 primaries wasn’t enough to close the deal. He could have done it by winning enough delegates to be the prohibitive favorite or -- conversely -- by Mitt Romney making so poor a showing that he would be unwilling to fight on.

Before sunrise Wednesday, this is how it lined up:

McCain won ten of the twenty-one Republican primaries and caucuses, including five winner-take-all contests, resulting in a total (according to the Associated Press count) of 610 delegates of the 1191 needed to clinch the Republican nomination. The strong showing in WTA states of Missouri and New York were a substantial part of McCain’s total. McCain apparently also won delegate-rich California (though returns are not yet final, and California is not a WTA state).

Bob Dole Chastises Rush Limbaugh

Here's something you don't see every day: a Republican publicly chastising one of the leading conservative voices in the nation.

After all, it's one thing for liberal media members across the fruited plain to bash talk radio's Rush Limbaugh.

But former Senator and presidential candidate Bob Dole?

Questions about Chelsea at polling place

Posted Feb. 5, 2008
Updated 7:25 PM

(WTNH) _ This might cause a headache for Sen. Hillary Clinton's campaign in Connecticut. It's Chelsea Clinton inside a New Haven polling place at 6:00 a.m.

So why might this be an issue? According to state law, candidates or a candidate's representative, such as someone wearing a sign, have to stay 75-feet away from polling places "on the day of any primary".

The daughter of the Democratic presidential candidate was delivering a box of coffee to poll workers and talking with a firefighter in New Haven. According to a News Channel 8 photographer who was there, when the moderator announced that the polls are open, Clinton immediately went outside.

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York took two of the big early prizes Super Tuesday in a coast-to-coast struggle for delegates in the grueling Democratic campaign, winning Massachusetts and her home state of New York, NBC News projected.

NBC News also projected Clinton to win in Arkansas, Oklahoma and Tennessee. Sen. Barack Obama got two big wins in his home state, Illinois and Georgia.

Georgia was Obama’s second straight Southern triumph, and, like an earlier victory in South Carolina, it was built on a wave of black votes. The 87 delegates at stake in Georgia’s primary were expected to be divided between Obama and Clinton in rough proportion to the votes.

Delegate Race Remains Tight

By STEPHEN OHLEMACHER
Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Both political parties have relatively close delegate races heading into Super Tuesday, when voters in nearly half the states and American Samoa will vote in primaries and caucuses.

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York has the overall lead in delegates to the Democratic convention, with 261, according to an Associated Press analysis of delegate totals. Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois has 196.

Obama has won more delegates in the primaries and caucuses held to date. But Clinton leads in endorsements from superdelegates - party and elected officials who automatically attend the convention and can support whomever they choose, regardless of the outcome of the primaries.

Early Exit Polls: Who's Supporting Whom?

Tuesday, February 5, 2008 7:30 PM

WASHINGTON -- Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton was strongly supported by Hispanics and people seeking an experienced candidate, but held only modest leads with women and whites, two of her usual strengths, in early national exit polls Tuesday. A coalition of black, young white and higher-income voters were flocking to Sen. Barack Obama.

On the Republican side, preliminary data from exit polls of voters in 16 states showed Sen. John McCain was getting strong support from moderates and people valuing experience and leadership. He even had a modest edge among party regulars, a better showing for him with that group than usual. Mitt Romney was dominating the GOP's most conservative voters and people wanting a strong stance against illegal immigrants.

Obama, the Illinois senator, was getting support from more than four in 10 women and about the same number of whites, leaving him just a few percentage points behind Clinton. That was a narrower deficit than he has faced in most states that have held nominating contests so far, with part of his strength coming from people under age 44, whom he was dominating.

Barack Obama Running on his Religion
By Thomas Lifson
During his triumphant campaign in South Carolina, Barack Obama distributed a flyer in which he announced the spiritual dimension of his mission, running as a "committed Christian." This caused a certain amount of consternation on the secular left.

It was a remarkable move, perhaps born of a desire to refute rumors that Obama is a Muslim. But by publishing and distributing the pamphlet, Barack Obama officially placed his religion in the political sphere, and highlighted the importance of understanding the particular brand of Christianity he practices.


Barack Obama was not raised as practicing Christian, and in the pamphlet, he draws on a speech he gave last June, in which he identifies Pastor Jeremiah Wright, Jr. as the man who "introduced" him to Jesus Christ. Barack Obama in the past has openly spoken of his respect and attachment to Pastor Wright, getting married by him in his church and calling him his "spiritual mentor" offering many other signs of respect.

Why Does Obama's Pastor Matter?
By John Perazzo
FrontPageMagazine.com | Monday, February 04, 2008

Barack Obama, in a way that recalls John F. Kennedy, a politician to whom he's frequently compared, has carefully controlled and burnished his image to create the impression of an independent figure, free from dogma and ideological entanglements. But there is one man who threatens to undermine Obama's appealing narrative as a man above the ugly quarrels and divisive partisanship of the past: his longtime pastor and spiritual adviser, Rev. Jeremiah Wright.

On March 1, 1972, Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr. became the pastor of Chicago's Trinity United Church of Christ (TUCC), a position he still holds to this day. Because he has been a revered figure in the life of presidential aspirant Barack Obama for two decades, Wright's political views, which he commonly draws from the tenets of liberation theology, are worthy of some scrutiny—if only to shed light on the teachings that have had enough resonance to retain Obama as a TUCC congregant since 1988. So great is Obama's respect for Wright, that the former sought the Reverend's counsel before formally declaring his candidacy for U.S. President. Moreover, Obama and his wife selected Wright to perform their wedding ceremony and to baptize their two daughters. These are honors of considerable magnitude, and it is reasonable to speculate that if we learn more about Rev. Wright, we may gain some insight into the personal qualities and belief systems Barack Obama holds in high regard.

When we read the writings, public statements, and sermons of Rev. Wright, we quickly notice his unmistakable conviction that America is a nation infested with racism, prejudice, and injustices that make life very difficult for black people. As he declared in one of his sermons: "Racism is how this country was founded and how this country is still run!... We [Americans] believe in white supremacy and black inferiority and believe it more than we believe in God."

Judge: Counting petition signatures not required
Decision pushes state 'gay' marriage plans forward

A federal judge in Portland has concluded the state of Oregon doesn't need to count all of the signatures on a petition proposing a vote of the people on a state law to create same-sex domestic partnerships with rights and privileges identical to marriage couples.

U.S. District Judge Michael Mosman in December granted a temporary injunction requested by lawyers for the Alliance Defense Fund, who argued the state illegally disenfranchised registered voters who signed petitions to bring the issue before voters, but were improperly rejected by county officials.

But Mosman now has lifted his earlier order, allowing the state law to take effect immediately, concluding that the state has little significant obligation to count voters' signatures on that petition. His ruling came at the end of a hearing on Friday.

Mass. activist questions radio conservatives' backing of Romney
Jim Brown - OneNewsNow - 2/5/2008 9:35:00 PM

A Massachusetts pro-family activist who published a 28-page report detailing Mitt Romney's "liberal" record as governor of the state is blasting popular conservative talk-radio hosts who have endorsed the Republican presidential candidate.

Brian Camenker of Mass Resistance says it is "shameful and disgraceful" that conservative talk-show hosts like Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and Laura Ingraham have endorsed Mitt Romney because of their strong dislike for John McCain.

Camenker says his "Mitt Romney Deception Report" thoroughly documents how Romney is not a conservative. And most of the pro-Romney conservative talkers, he claims, have viewed the report, but have chosen to ignore it. He argues one reason may be that Bain Capital, Romney's former company, is in the process of buying Clear Channel Communications -- which syndicates many of those talk-show hosts.

Huckabee Points to Southern Strength

Feb 5 10:16 PM US/Eastern
By LIZ SIDOTI

WASHINGTON (AP) - Republican presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee said Tuesday he would press on with his White House candidacy, emboldened by wins in the South. "The one way you can't win a race is to quit it, and until somebody beats me, I'm going to answer the bell for every round of this fight," the former Arkansas governor said in an AP interview from Little Rock.
Huckabee beat rivals John McCain and Mitt Romney in West Virginia, Alabama and his home state, and early returns showed him leading in a few more Super Tuesday states. He said he would emerge from the virtual national primary contests as the alternative to McCain, the Arizona senator and Republican front-runner.

"I've got to say that Mitt Romney was right about one thing—this is a two-man race. He was just wrong about who the other man in the race was. It's me, not him," Huckabee said.

First Thoughts on the Exits

I've now looked at the exit polls for the states where voting closed at 8 p.m. These exit polls are subject to revision as the final results of the election come in, so these thoughts are tentative. They show Barack Obama holding his own, or better, in states like Massachusetts, Missouri, Connecticut, and New Jersey that Hillary Clinton was once way ahead in. In the Northeast, the endorsement of Obama by Senator Ted Kennedy and Caroline Kennedy seems to have had a dramatic effect. In Masschusetts, for instance, voters who decided before a week ago broke for Clinton by 56 to 41, but those who decided in the last week went for Obama by 56 to 44 percent.



In these states, however, the pattern of voting established in New Hampshire has held up, with a few differences: Obama gets the youth vote including that of whites--in Missouri, he lost the overall white vote but he won white voters between 18 and 29 by 57 to 33 percent; he is getting 80 percent or more of the black vote--a clear result not only of Obama's popularity, but of an anti-Clinton backlash after South Carolina; and he is winning among college-educated voters--in New Jersey, for instance, he wins college educated voters by 54 to 43 percent; and he does well--over 40 percent, except in Alabama--among white males.



Clinton, on other hand, is strongest among whites without a college degree--the white working class. In New Jersey, she wins voters without a college degree by 54 to 43 percent. If whites alone were counted, that number would be around 60 percent. She also does well among senior citizens and, of course, white women voters.

Analysis: Clinton and Obama Start Anew

By JIM KUHNHENN


WASHINGTON (AP) - Consider this the beginning of a long hard slog. The grand spectacle of Super Tuesday's coast-to-coast nominating contests marks a turning point in the Democratic presidential contest from euphoric election night victories to painstaking delegate counting. Now it's time for spreadsheets and green eye shades.

Barack Obama won the primary in Georgia, the state with the earliest closing time. But barring a remarkable sweep of most of the 22 states in play, Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton will end the day with a mix of wins and losses. And while each will accumulate delegates to the Democratic National Convention this summer, neither will have enough to secure the nomination.

Al Qaeda seen planning attack on U.S. ***NEW***

By Sara A. Carter
February 6, 2008

Senior al Qaeda leaders have diverted operatives from Iraq across the globe and are increasing preparations to strike the United States, senior intelligence officials told the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence yesterday. They said the terrorists had plans to attack the White House as recently as 2006.

"Al Qaeda is improving the last key aspect of its ability to attack the U.S. — the identification, training and positioning of operatives for an attack in the homeland," said Michael McConnell, director of national intelligence, which oversees all 16 U.S. intelligence agencies.

Intelligence officials also said they used a controversial interrogation tactic known as "waterboarding," which some people regard as torture, only on three senior al Qaeda members early in the war on terror and that it has not been used in five years.

In a surprise twist after a chaotic Super Tuesday, Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) passed Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) in network tallies of the number of delegates the candidates racked up last night.

The Obama camp now projects topping Clinton by 13 delegates, 847 to 834.

NBC News, which is projecting delegates based on the Democratic Party's complex formula, figures Obama will wind up with 840 to 849 delegates, versus 829 to 838 for Clinton.

Congress Extends Do Not Call Program

By JIM ABRAMS
Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Politicians have finally found an issue they all can agree on: Telemarketers calling at dinnertime are a scourge that must be repulsed. Congress on Wednesday sent to President Bush two bills that would make permanent a program to protect consumers from unwanted phone calls from telemarketers. Its hallmark is the national "do not call" list.

"This initiative has proven to be one of the most popular laws in history," said Rep. G.K. Butterfield, D-N.C. Extending the program was necessary "to avoid the wrath of millions of angry constituents."

The Do Not Call Registry, initiated in 2003, has been widely acclaimed for allowing Americans to eat their suppers in peace. Some 150 million people have listed their phones on the registry, which prohibits calls from telemarketers.

Breaking News: Mitt Romney to drop out of presidential race
Various News Services - 2/7/2008 11:30:00 AM

WASHINGTON (AP) - Mitt Romney will either suspend his presidential campaign or withdraw completely from the presidential race, Associated Press has learned.

Various news services are confirming that Romney will make his announcement today during a speech to the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, DC.

Romney is preparing to tell the Conservative Political Action Committee that if he continues with his campaign all the way to the convention, it would delay the launch of a national campaign, and make it more likely for Hillary Rodham Clinton or Barack Obama to win. In his prepared remarks, Romney says it wasn't an easy decision. But he says, "I feel I must now stand aside, for our party and for our country."

The Formidable McCain
By David Broder

WASHINGTON -- The continuing drama of the race for the Democratic presidential nomination should not diminish what John McCain has accomplished on the Republican side of this campaign.

The senator from Arizona still has to finish off the challenges from Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee, but after Tuesday's victories in such key states as California, New York, Illinois, New Jersey and Missouri, and a commanding lead in delegates, the question is when, not if, he will secure the nomination.

Were it not for the suspense in the contest between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, the saga of McCain's eight-month struggle from the brink of political bankruptcy last summer to his current supremacy would be the most riveting narrative of the year......

Transcript of Romney’s Speech Withdrawing From the Race

Governor Romney’s Address to the Conservative Political Action Committee – February 7, 2008

I want to begin by saying thank you. It’s great to be with you again. And I look forward to joining with you many more times in the future.

Last year, CPAC gave me the sendoff I needed. I was in single digits in the polls and I was facing household Republican names. As of today, more than 4 million people have given me their vote for president, less than Senator McCain’s 4.7 million, but quite a statement nonetheless. 11 states have given me their nod, compared to his 13. Of course, because size does matter, he’s doing quite a bit better with his number of delegates...........

McCain Seals GOP Nod As Romney Suspends

Thursday, February 7, 2008 12:45

WASHINGTON -- John McCain effectively sealed the Republican presidential nomination on Thursday as chief rival Mitt Romney suspended his faltering presidential campaign. "I must now stand aside, for our party and our country," Romney prepared to tell conservatives.

"If I fight on in my campaign, all the way to the convention, I would forestall the launch of a national campaign and make it more likely that Senator Clinton or Obama would win. And in this time of war, I simply cannot let my campaign, be a part of aiding a surrender to terror," Romney will say at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington.

"This is not an easy decision for me. I hate to lose. My family, my friends and our supporters... many of you right here in this room... have given a great deal to get me where I have a shot at becoming President.

States Want Congress to Fix 'Broken' Primary System
By Pete Winn

February 07, 2008

(CNSNews.com) - With Super Tuesday now behind us, there's a movement afoot to reform the presidential primary system, and it is coming from the states themselves.

The nation's secretaries of state want Congress to turn its attention to a bill that would replace the current primary system with one centered on four revolving regional primaries.

According to the people who oversee most elections at the state level, the system is broken and needs repair.

U.K. to Extradite Islamic Preacher to U.S. on Terror Charges


LONDON — Britain's Home Office on Thursday approved the extradition of an Islamic preacher who is accused of trying to establish a terrorist training camp in Oregon, a spokesman said.

Abu Hamza al-Masri was arrested on an U.S. extradition warrant in May 2004, but the process was put on hold while he stood trial in Britain and then appealed his convictions.

The Home Office's approval of his extradition means the preacher could be sent to the United States within a month's time.

DNC sponsors event honoring sadomasochism
Jeff Johnson - OneNewsNow - 2/7/2008 10:00:00 AM

The 20th annual meeting of the nation's second most powerful homosexual activist group is welcoming some new participants -- and a very recognizable sponsor.

The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force is holding its annual "Creating Change" conference in Detroit this week. Its sponsors claim to have trained more than 30,000 activists since 1988. Peter LaBarbera with Americans for Truth About Homosexuality has reported on the event in the past. "It's essentially a grassroots training conference for homosexual, bisexual, transgender -- and now, it turns out -- sadomasochistic activists," says LaBarbera.

The event originally focused on homosexuals, but has expanded to include individuals who are convinced that they were born into the wrong sex. The event's handbook even addresses "transgender restroom etiquette."

Sophisticated Mexican groups plot abductions
By Tony Manolatos
UNION-TRIBUNE STAFF WRITER

February 6, 2008

Organized, well-financed and violent Mexican kidnapping cells are targeting a growing number of U.S. citizens visiting communities popular with San Diegans and other California residents.

Last year, at least 26 San Diego County residents were kidnapped and held for ransom in Tijuana, Rosarito Beach or Ensenada, local FBI agents overseeing the cases said yesterday. In 2006, at least 11 county residents had been kidnapped in the three communities.

“Some of the 26 were recovered, some were hurt and some were killed,” said agent Alex Horan, who directs the FBI's violent-crime squad in San Diego.

Mexican President: Illegals Rescued by Elections

Thursday, February 7, 2008 12:10 PM

By: Newsmax Staff

Eying the results so far in the U.S. presidential primary race, Mexican President Felipe Calderon said he is hopeful that the next administration in Washington will usher in reforms that would legalize the status of Mexican immigrants.

“It seems to me that the most radical and anti-immigrant candidates have been left behind and have been put in their place by their own electorate,” Calderon told the Los Angeles Times on Wednesday, the day after the Super Tuesday primaries.

“My hope is that whoever the next president is, and whoever is in the new Congress, will have a broader and more comprehensive view” of the immigration problem.

Here lieth the campaign of Mitt Romney, victim of the mistaken belief that the only way to succeed in national Republican politics was to turn yourself into something you are not. Or maybe the campaign revealed what his closest friends never imaged him to be. They thought he was a decent classy guy. But maybe he really is a soulless throat-cutter who would do and say anything to win.

I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and say that he was a good fellow who didn't know enough about national politics and listened to people who gave him bad, cynical advice.

Sen. John McCain was in a good position before; now it's hard to imagine that he won't wrap up the nomination in the next week or two. His lone remaining serious opponent, Mike Huckabee, has exceeded expectations, but expecting him to be able to unhorse McCain is perhaps expecting too much.

Haggard was fired from New Life Church and resigned as president of the National Association of Evangelicals in November 2006 after a former male prostitute alleged they had a cash-for-sex relationship. The man also said he saw Haggard use methamphetamine.

Haggard confessed to undisclosed "sexual immorality" and said he bought meth but didn't use it. *** Sure he didn't..

Teamsters are launching a nationwide campaign to fire U.S. Secretary of Transportation Mary Peters for what they say is her "unlawful decision" to keep the American border open to Mexican trucks.

As WND reported, the Bush administration has decided to ignore a provision passed by Congress and signed into law by President Bush as part of the 2008 omnibus spending bill that was intended to remove funding from the 2008 DOT appropriations bill for the Mexican truck demonstration project.

"It's a disgrace that Mary Peters is still in office," said Teamsters General President James Hoffa in a news release today. "She has broken the law and defied the will of the American people by exposing them to dangerous trucks from Mexico."

There was a brief moment of booing when he raised the topic of immigration, but after a few seconds of scattered boos, cheering began and then supplanted, growing as the seconds went by. The crowd had been previously cautioned to eschew booing, and the cheers steadily grew.

From that point on, those with negative opinions kept their own counsel, while the percentage of the crowd cheering appeared to grow. One could say that the audible evidence suggests McCain won over the crowd.

He stressed many shared conservative values he pledges to fight for. National defense was presented as a consequential choice facing to country. He predicted a humanitarian disaster in Iraq, should either Democrat be nominated and follow through on promises of prompt withdrawal.

Deal aims to speed tax rebates to taxpayers

WASHINGTON - The Senate passed an economic rescue plan Thursday that would speed $600 to $1,200 in rebates to most taxpayers and $300 checks to low-income people, including disabled veterans and the elderly.

The 81-16 vote capped more than a week of political maneuvering that ended only when majority Democrats dropped their demand that the proposal offer jobless benefits, heating aid for the poor and tax breaks for certain industries.

GOP senators blocked those ideas, but agreed to add the rebates for older people and disabled veterans to a $161 billion measure the House passed last month.

For the Record: Government Reminds Court of CAIR/MAS Ties to Terrorists

IPT News
February 5, 2008

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is demanding that the Air Force Academy alter a panel of speakers slated for a terrorist symposium this week, saying it's an unbalanced presentation dominated by anti-Muslim speakers. But recently, and for at least the third time, federal prosecutors have called out CAIR as part of a covert Muslim Brotherhood effort in the United States. First, CAIR was named an unindicted co-conspirator in the Hamas-support trial of the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development (HLF). CAIR was listed among "entities who are and/or were members of the US Muslim Brotherhood's Palestine Committee." Then, when the group petitioned to remove its name from that list, prosecutors said such relief "will not prevent its conspiratorial involvement with HLF, and others affiliated with Hamas, from becoming a matter of public record."

Now, in a federal court filing from December, federal prosecutors have described CAIR as "having conspired with other affiliates of the Muslim Brotherhood to support terrorists." The government also stated that "proof that the conspirators used deception to conceal from the American public their connections to terrorists was introduced" in the Dallas Holy Land Foundation trial last year and the Chicago trial of the Hamas men in 2006.

The government also stated that another organization, the Muslim American Society (MAS) was "founded as the overt arm of the Muslim Brotherhood in the United States." This appears to be the first time the US government has officially described the true origins and ulterior agenda of the Muslim American Society. (For a backgrounder on the Muslim American Society by the Investigative Project, go to our dossier.)

In a recent interview with BBC Radio 4's "The World At One Today," Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams confirmed adoption of sharia "seems unavoidable."

"As a matter of fact, certain conditions of sharia are already recognized in our society and under our law, so it is not as if we are bringing in an alien and rival system," Williams said.

Conservatives need to support McCain


By Blake Gibbs

As a life-long conservative, it blows me away to hear Rush Limbaugh ranting against John McCain as being too liberal, too much a member of the Republican "establishment." I cringe when Newt Gingrich proclaims similar discomfort with McCain's lack of "true conservative" credentials. Now to have Ann Coulter tell us she will vote for Hillary Clinton rather than John McCain, I wonder what is wrong with these people.

John McCain is a man of honor. A man of integrity. A man of courage. A man of conviction. I may not agree with every position he takes, but that certainly doesn't mean he isn't a conservative. And no disagreement can possibly make him worse than Hillary Clinton would be for our country, or for the conservative values and principles we know are essential for our nation's future.

It seems to me that on two of the most critical issues we face, John McCain has rock solid conservative credentials.

Born-again Christians' political loyalties shifting from GOP
Jeff Johnson - OneNewsNow - 2/7/2008 6:00:00 AM

pen in hand smallNew research by George Barna, America's leading Christian pollster, is challenging assumptions about the political loyalties of born-again Christians. The findings are not likely to be pleasant news for the Republican Party.



Since the 1992 contest between George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton, born-again Christians have increasingly supported the Republican nominee for president. The highest split came in 2004, when born-again Christians supported George W. Bush by a 64-to-38 margin over Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.). Over the same time period, which covered four national elections, the tendency of the born-again vote to lean toward the GOP grew from 39 percent to 62 percent.

Christian pollster George Barna examined that trend and the role that voting bloc has played, particularly in the outcome of the last two national elections, when the GOP candidate was George W. Bush.

I already voted for Huck yesterday before Dobson's endorsement; I talk alot of politics w/ friends and never ever recall a single conversation about what Dobson thinks.

As to yesterday's vote; I missed the Giants parade & business/dinner in the city to maybe meet a friend coming in from out of state.... because I had to have a medical procedure & then be in the ambulatory recovery room+++, when I finally got back into Brooklyn it was like 8pm w/ polls closing in an hour.

+++Click on for PRAYER REQUEST re: yesterday's procedure, thank you...

As usual I signed in but when I got in the booth couldn't pull the lever for Huck or any GOPer, only the sickening weak dems.

I had to inquire as to why I couldn't vote for the GOP & was told by at minimum two pollsters that I was registered as a democrat (which is not my party); it caused alot of drama as in my part of Brooklyn republicans are rare.

They had to get a republican official on-site that worked w/ the pollsters in unfreezing the machine & getting me a paper ballot to vote in another secluded area, where I cast my vote for Huckabee. Who is a fellow believer..and right on conservative social issues.Thompson & others that dropped out were still on the selections but Huck was the only 1 left who I might be closer to in our ways of thinking. Paul of course is way too nutty.

So there I was after being told because of the medications given me earlier (I must have been still a bit woozy as I thought for a moment if they couldn't rectify the problem--I would go back behind the curtain & vote for Obama)even though told to make no major decisions & being in a polling place where republicans are a rare breed & put through alot of stuff in order to get to vote.But hey, people have died so that each of us would have this right..

Of course I knew Huck wasn't going to get alot of NY votes nor likely be the final candidate. But as I have--- since allowed to vote when I reached the legal age...I was right there taking part in this great democracy-hospital day or not-it's always that important.

Talk Radio Fails Conservatives

Cliff Kincaid

Our book, The Death of Talk Radio?, warned about the threat posed by liberals trying to pass into law the so-called Fairness Doctrine. Little did we know that its viability would be in jeopardy from conservatives upset over major figures in talk radio playing favorites in the Republican presidential race. The conservative talk-radio assault on John McCain and Mike Huckabee has backfired in a big way.

Supporters of Huckabee are so angry that they have launched a “Send it Back” campaign, asking people who have copies of books by Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity to send them back to their authors. They’re angry that Limbaugh and Hannity were trashing Huckabee on the air. Limbaugh and Hannity were joined by Laura Ingraham in trying to rally their listeners around Mitt Romney. The ploy failed. Romney won in seven contests on Super Tuesday but failed to win either California, where he expected to win, or any Southern state.

The “Send it Back” campaign also applies to Ann Coulter, who attacked Huckabee as the “Republican Jimmy Carter.” Coulter, who has achieved notoriety for making personal attacks and writing books blasting Democrats, also said that McCain was so unacceptable that she would vote and campaign for Hillary Clinton if the Arizona senator was the Republican presidential nominee.

Bush, Congress hit bottom in AP poll

By ALAN FRAM, Associated Press Writer Fri Feb 8, 6:31 AM ET

WASHINGTON - It's almost as if people can barely stand the thought of President Bush and Congress anymore. Bush reached his lowest approval rating in The Associated Press-Ipsos poll on Friday as only 30 percent said they like the job he is doing, including an all-time low in his support by Republicans. Congress' approval fell to just 22 percent, equaling its poorest grade in the survey. Both marks dropped by 4 percentage points since early January.

The dour public mood seems to chiefly reflect distress over the doddering economy, which has seen job cuts, financial market slides and real estate losses stoke recession fears. Bush's approval for handling the economy dove to 29 percent, a slide of 4 percentage points in a month and matching his low on that issue, with noticeable slumps among middle-income people, Southerners and city residents.

"He's spent billions of dollars on the war, and the economy here is suffering," said Ron Brathwaite, 41, a Democrat from Brooklyn, N.Y., who was interviewed in the poll. "If you're leading this country, you should start fixing within this country."

Military Prosecutors Set to Open Major 9/11 Case ***NEW***

By WILLIAM GLABERSON
Published: February 9, 2008

Military prosecutors are in the final phases of preparing the first sweeping case against suspected conspirators in the plot that led to the deaths of nearly 3,000 Americans on Sept. 11, 2001, and drew the United States into war, people who have been briefed on the case said.

The charges, to be filed in the military commission system at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, would involve as many as six detainees held at the detention camp, including Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, the former senior aide to Osama bin Laden, who has said he was the principal planner of the plot.

The case could begin to fulfill a longtime goal of the Bush administration: establishing culpability for the terrorist attacks of 2001. It could also help the administration make its case that some detainees at Guantánamo, where 275 men remain, would pose a threat if they are not held at Guantánamo or elsewhere. Officials have long said that a half-dozen men held at Guantánamo played essential roles in the plot directed by Mr. Mohammed, from would-be hijackers to financiers.

THE RE-LIBERATORS
US TROOPS MAKE IT WORK IN IRAQ

By RICH LOWRY


February 8, 2008 -- BAGHDAD

'GREETED as liberators" has become one of the most scoffed-at phrases of the Iraq War, a symbol of glib assurances of success belied by reality. But a top US general here plays on the phrase in describing security gains during the past year. "In some ways," he says, "our soldiers have come to be seen as re-liberators."

The neologism seems apt in the crisp, cool dusk of a Saturday evening in a Sunni neighborhood here in the Dora section of this city.

American soldiers, who a few months ago couldn't venture here without being shot at, are mobbed by clamoring children as soon as they leave their vehicles. Stores are open on a street that was deserted just months ago. The median strip, once regularly implanted with improvised explosives, is spruced up with fresh brickwork.

Huckabee solicits funds from embattled televangelist ***NEW***
Posted on Friday, February 08, 2008 3:59 PM PT

By Lisa Myers, Jim Popkin and Rich Gardella, NBC News

Gov. Mike Huckabee, vastly outspent so far in his bid for the presidency, has turned for funding to a controversial televangelist who is under active Senate investigation. Late last month, Gov. Huckabee held a fundraiser at the Texas estate of millionaire televangelist Kenneth Copeland, his spokesman tells NBC News.

The U.S. Senate currently is investigating Copeland, and five other televangelists, amid allegations that they are improperly using millions in charitable donations for their personal benefit, and, in the process, fleecing their flock. Copeland and the other televangelists have strongly denied those allegations.

“The Huckabee Event was not hosted by Ken Copeland or anyone employed by the church,” a spokesman for Kenneth Copeland Ministries tells NBC. “The Huckabee campaign rented a room at our facility and hosted a private function,” the spokesman says.

DeMint Calls on Conservatives to Back McCain
By Fred Lucas

February 07, 2008

Washington (CNSNews.com) - Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.), a prominent Mitt Romney supporter, called on Republicans and conservatives to rally behind Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) in a speech Thursday at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). About an hour before DeMint's speech, Romney had announced he was exiting the campaign race for the GOP presidential nomination.

DeMint told the crowd at CPAC that he thought the Republican Party missed an opportunity by not nominating Romney, a former Massachusetts governor, whom he said would have united the party, but now it was time to rally behind McCain, DeMint added.

"He is our only chance of keeping Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton from the White House, and we need to empower Sen. McCain to carry our conservative message," DeMint said to loud applause from the audience, many members of which were skeptical of McCain.

The Archbishop of Canterbury was facing demands to quit last night as the row over sharia law intensified.

Leading bishops publicly contradicted Dr Rowan Williams's call for Islamic law to be brought into the British legal system.........

One member of the church's "Cabinet", the Archbishop's Council, was reported as saying: "There have been a lot of calls for him to resign. I don't suppose he will take any notice, but, yes, he should resign."

The New Republic
The Wrong Kind of Religious
by Peter Keating
Evangelical Christians never could warm to a Mormon candidate.***
Post Date Friday, February 08, 2008

Mitt Romney suspended his presidential campaign yesterday, after his poor showing on Super Tuesday made a victory over John McCain all but mathematically impossible. As much as McCain and Mike Huckabee loathe Mitt, it's been easy to imagine them conspiring to deliver the killing stroke. Conventional wisdom says Huckabee won five southern states outright and helped turn others, such as Missouri, to McCain by taking conservative votes away from Romney.

But Romney probably wasn't going to earn those ballots anyway. Southern states have GOP primary electorates dominated by evangelical Christians, specifically by Southern Baptists. And many of those Southern Baptists are committed to blocking the ascension of a Mormon to the presidency.

For the conservative pundits backing Romney who missed this story, ideology trumps theology. But for many evangelicals, it's the other way around. Southern Baptists and Mormons are not only two of the four largest religious denominations in the country, they are the most aggressive of American missionary faiths, and have been on a collision course for generations.

Why More Feminists Should Convert to Christianity

There was a time when the important question of “when life begins” was in dispute. Now that films like “In the Womb” have become widely available to the public, visual evidence forces reasonable people to answer that question by moving further and further back towards the moment of conception. I believe that since conception is the moment when one’s genetic endowment is established, that is when one’s life begins.

But, of course, for feminists, the debate on abortion involves more than just the question of when life begins. It also involves the question of whether there is a right to life once it begins. Fortunately, our Founding Fathers settled that issue long ago by stating the following:

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal and endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”

Evangelical youth plan rally for change in pop culture
Allie Martin - OneNewsNow - 2/8/2008 6:00:00 AM

Hundreds of teenagers will be in Times Square today as part of a counter-culture protest.

The event, sponsored by Teen Mania Ministries, is called "Recreate '08." The rally takes place across the street from MTV Studios in Times Square and will encourage teenagers to reshape pop culture into products that build up, instead of tearing down young people.

Ron Luce, founder of Teen Mania, says the rally is meant to challenge the mainstream media offered by the secular giants. "We're going right to the heart of the media center that's destroying so much of the culture for young people," states Luce. "And [we are] saying ... there are young people who don't want what you're dishing out, would you please listen to them -- and basically, the message to MTV and everybody else is, use your power to help us, not hurt us."

President Bush in Last Address to National Prayer Breakfast ***NEW***

WASHINGTON, February 7, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) - This morning U.S. President George Bush delivered his final address as President to the annual National Prayer Breakfast. After his initial greetings he addressed the gathered crowd as follows:

"Every President since Dwight Eisenhower has attended the National Prayer Breakfast -- and I am really proud to carry on that tradition. It's an important tradition, and I'm confident Presidents who follow me will do the same. The people in this room come from many different walks of faith. Yet we share one clear conviction: We believe that the Almighty hears our prayers -- and answers those who seek Him. That's what we believe; otherwise, why come? Through the miracle of prayer, we believe he listens -- if we listen to his voice and seek our presence -- his presence in our lives, our hearts will change. And in so doing, in seeking God, we grow in ways that we could never imagine.

"In prayer, we grow in gratitude and thanksgiving. When we spend time with the Almighty, we realize how much He has bestowed upon us -- and our hearts are filled with joy. We give thanks for our families, we give thanks for the parents who raised us, we give thanks for the patient souls who married us, and the children who make us proud each day. We give thanks for our liberty -- and the universal desire for freedom that He has written into every human heart. We give thanks for the God who made us in His image -- and redeemed us in His love.

Vets: If They're Not Homicidal or Suicidal, They are Homeless
Clarice Feldman
As part of the never-ending lies about veterans, the media has falsely peddled stories that they are more suicidal and homicidal than those who never served in the military. Now, they are peddling tall tales of the number of homeless vets. Tom Maguire hears a figure of 200,000 and notes that is the total number of vets stretching back to the Spanish- American war:

As I spun the radio dial this morning I caught Don Imus (remember when he used to have a radio presence?) railing about the dire circumstances of veterans in America. Per Don and Deirdre, one vet in four coming home from Iraq and Afghanistan is homeless - 200,000 altogether. Deirdre's information was apparently inspired by some recent event involving Judy Woodruff (if I heard that correctly, and who knows?)

Since the 200,000 figure is for all vets stretching back to the Spanish-American War, I am quite sure the Imus' stats are muddled.

At least 9,600 more beds are needed, the report said. No government agency provides permanent housing for homeless veterans, said Beversdorf.

ABC: Global Warming to Force Humans to Flee Destroyed Earth?


By Scott Whitlock | February 8, 2008 - 13:05 ET

"Good Morning America" weatherman and resident global warming alarmist Sam Champion wondered on Friday if climate change could cause "the ultimate climate disaster" and force humanity to abandon Earth and live in space. Throughout the program, various GMA hosts filed reports on space, astronauts and the effects of living in an environment with no gravity.

So, as a transition to yet another piece on liberal environmental issues, Champion segued, "And now to our series "Global Warming: Global Warning." Could global warming one day force us into space to live?" (The ABC weatherman appeared in a pool as part of a previous space segment on weightlessness.) Champion used the segment to preview a new documentary called "Six Degrees" that will air on the National Geographic Channel on Sunday. He also failed to inform viewers that the author upon which the special is based on, Mark Lynas, is a hard-left environmentalist who once threw a pie in the face of Bjrrn Lomborg at a reading of Lomborg's book, "The Skeptical Environmentalist.

Speaking of the famous pie throwing incident, Lynas, in other public comments, has justifed attacking someone who disagreed with him: "I wanted to put a baked Alaska in his smug face, in solidarity with the native Indian and Eskimo people in Alaska who are reporting rising temperatures, shrinking sea ice and worsening effects on animal and bird life."

Can Mrs. Clinton Lose?
By PEGGY NOONAN
February 8, 2008

If Hillary Clinton loses, does she know how to lose? What will that be, if she loses? Will she just say, "I concede" and go on vacation at a friend's house on an island, and then go back to the Senate and wait?

Is it possible she could be so normal? Politicians lose battles, it's part of what they do, win and lose. But she does not know how to lose. Can she lose with grace? But she does grace the way George W. Bush does nuance.

She often talks about how tough she is. She has fought "the Republican attack machine" that has tried to "stop" her, "end" her, and she knows "how to fight them." She is preoccupied to an unusual degree with toughness. A man so preoccupied would seem weak. But a woman obsessed with how tough she is just may be lethal.

HIGHLANDS RANCH – The issue of being transgender usually pops up with students in high school. However, a 2nd grade boy wants to dress as a girl and be addressed with a girl's name.

"As a public school system, our calling is to educate all kids no matter where they come from, what their background is, beliefs, values, it doesn't matter," said Whei Wong, Douglas County Schools spokesperson.

McCain's Veep Choice (Updated) + ....
Rick Moran
Now that John McCain has the nomination all but wrapped up, pundits and political junkies are turning their attention to the next order of business; who will be McCain's choice for the second spot on the ticket?


Representative Pat Toomey, now head of the Club for Growth, has some suggestions for him in an article in today's Wall Street Journal. He recommends five conservatives: South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford; South Carolina Senator Jim DeMint; Indiana Representative Mike Pence; former Senator Phil Gramm; and Forbes CEO Steve Forbes. The final two are probably better suited to be Secretary of the Treasury. (And McCain floating Forbes for that slot early could help him in his efforts to convince McCain doubters that he takes seriously his pledge today to draw heavily on the advice of his "fellow conservatives.") Each of the other three -- Sanford, DeMint and Pence -- would bring conservative credentials and seriousness about policy that would surely help McCain among the Republican base.

That's a nice list to start. I doubt, however, whether McCain would choose a House member. Gramm has been out of politics 6 years and Forbes longer than that. And I think tactically speaking, McCain will be looking at someone who can bring him a state or two on election day. He's already got South Carolina so that would seem to rule out Sanford and Demint.

http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2008/02/mccains_veep_choice.html

I see my old COVENANT HOUSE volunteer Bill Simon Jr. as Sec. Of Treasury..not Forbes & not Forbes as VP as McCain would likely carry my birth state of NJ.Mark Sanford would be a good running mate & show McCain's still a maverick & not giving into recommendations from the talk radio drinkers and druggers or loose book authors.

Time Reporters Admit They Voted for Obama, Hillary

By Tim Graham | February 8, 2008 - 09:08 ET

Should liberal reporters bare all on their voting records? Time TV writer James Poniewozik not only declared that he voted for Obama, but that other reporters should do the same: "Writing about election coverage, I have disclosed, probably to the point of tediousness, that I voted for Obama. I think it's a good thing for you to know, but I really do it for me. It's important to me that I have enough perspective to critique campaign coverage whether it works for my candidate or against him. Having you know more about where I'm coming from helps you keep me honest and forces me to police myself."

Time reporter Lisa Takeuchi Cullen did the same: she voted for Hillary. "Last Tuesday, I voted in my state's primary. I'll even tell you who I voted for: Hillary Clinton. I'm a registered Democrat, and I've been voting for nearly 20 years, ever since I came to this country. In past presidential elections, I voted for Kerry, Gore, Clinton and Clinton."

Both Poniewozik and Cullen believe that reporters can vote, and can declare their voting preferences and still gain a reputation for fairness. (They both frankly note that they aren't exactly political reporters, and Cullen finds that the ones who are don't want to declare their ballot-box choices.)

In a conference call with reporters, Clinton communications director Howard Wolfson Friday excoriated MSNBC's David Shuster for suggesting the Clinton campaign had "pimped out" 27-year old Chelsea by having her place phone calls to Democratic Party superdelegates on her mother's behalf. Wolfson called the comment "beneath contempt" and disgusting.

Dems Will Reinstate Fairness Doctrine , Farah Says

Washington (CNSNews.com) - At the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) on Friday some attendees compared Democrats to Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, claiming that the political right is being silenced by the political left.

"I am hear to warn you of what is going to happen to the First Amendment if the Democrats retain control of both houses of Congress and if Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama become president," said Joseph Farah, editor of WorldNetDaily, a popular Web site among conservatives. The First Amendment would be threatened, he said.

Speaking at the conference, which is sponsored by the American Conservative Union, Farah said, "Come January 2009, if Hillary Clinton is in the White House and Harry Reid is still running the Senate and Nancy Pelosi is still cleaning the House, they are going to pass a law bringing back the so-called Fairness Doctrine. It won't make a bit of difference if Barack Obama is president."

Richard Toledo pleaded guilty to two counts of murder. He also pleaded guilty to one count of kidnapping for abducting the boys' mother at knifepoint after the killings, which happened on Jan. 19, 2006.

Authorities were alerted around 8 p.m. after Wanda Gonzalez managed to break free and call her estranged husband from a rest area along the Garden State Parkway where Toledo had stopped for gas.

6 Gitmo prisoners could face 9/11 charges (Updated)
Rick Moran
Government sources are saying that a sweeping case involving as many as 6 detainees at Guantanamo, charged with conspiracy in the 9/11 attacks, may be in the offing:


The charges, to be filed in the military commission system at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, would involve as many as six detainees held at the detention camp, including Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, the former senior aide to Osama bin Laden, who has said he was the principal planner of the plot.

The case could begin to fulfill a longtime goal of the Bush administration: establishing culpability for the terrorist attacks of 2001. It could also help the administration make its case that some detainees at Guantánamo, where 275 men remain, would pose a threat if they are not held at Guantánamo or elsewhere.

Huckabee keeps pushing; huge crowd for Obama, family voices for Clinton

TOPEKA, Kan. - NBC News has declared former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee as the projected winner in Saturday's Kansas Republican presidential caucuses.

The win for Huckabee followed a strong showing in the South earlier in the week, when the Baptist minister won four Southern states and West Virginia in "Super Tuesday" voting involving nearly half of U.S. states.

Huckabee vowed earlier in the day, during an appearance at a conference of conservative activists, to continue his shoestring campaign that has appealed to social and religious conservatives.

Fred Thompson Backs McCain

By Michael D. Shear
Fred Thompson, the one-time Republican presidential candidate, endorsed Sen. John McCain Friday, calling on the party to "close ranks" behind the presumed nominee.

"This is no longer about past preferences or differences. It is about what is best for our country and for me that means that Republican should close ranks behind John McCain," Thompson said in a statement reported by the Associated Press.

Thompson's endorsement was expected. The two men were colleagues for years in the Senate and shared what associates called a friendship. But while he was in the race, Thompson had bristled at the idea that he was going to drop out and endorse McCain.

HOUSTON (AP) — Presidential hopeful Ron Paul said he will not run as a third-party candidate in a new message to supporters that seems to recognize his slim chances at getting the Republican nomination.

The Texas congressman wrote on his Web site Friday that he is making cuts*** to his national campaign staff and that he must also stay focused on not losing the primary for his House seat.

Paul began Saturday with just 14 delegates for the Republican nomination that John McCain, with 719 delegates, has all but officially secured. Mitt Romney dropped out of the race Thursday, and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee has 198 delegates. A total of 1,191 delegates are needed to secure the GOP nomination.

February 8, 2008 -- The New York Times ran a front-page story critical of the Guantanamo anti-terror prison without checking to find out that its co-author was a bitter critic of the jail and of US policy, the newspaper acknowledged yesterday.

The paper's editors "were not aware" of the "outspoken position" of British freelancer Andy Worthington, who shared the byline on the article, according to an Editors' Note in the newspaper.

The story, which appeared Tuesday, described the case of an Afghan man who died in Guantanamo after five years' detention, allegedly on false charges of being a Taliban commander.

Exit Polls Explain LA Primaries
Feb 9 09:01 PM US/Eastern
By MIKE MOKRZYCKI and JANET McCONNAUGHEY
Associated Press Writers

Blacks helped Barack Obama against Hillary Rodham Clinton in Louisiana's racially polarized Democratic primary Saturday, while John McCain made little headway among the most conservative, highly religious voters as he battled Mike Huckabee in their first head-to- head Republican matchup, exit polls found.

Blacks were nearly half the Democratic primary electorate and Obama racked up one of his largest margins yet among them. He won nearly nine in 10 blacks, male and female, according to the exit polls for The Associated Press and television networks.

Most other Democratic voters were white and Clinton won them by about 40 points, a margin she has met or exceeded only in Alabama, Tennessee and her former home state of Arkansas among 19 Democratic primaries surveyed this year.

Associated Press Writer

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - The nation's first elected black governor said Saturday he is not ready to excuse comments former President Bill Clinton made about Barack Obama.

In campaigning for his wife last month on the eve of the New Hampshire primary, Clinton called Obama's opposition to the Iraq war "a fairy tale." Clinton suggested Obama had toned down his early anti-war fervor during his 2004 Senate campaign.

"Barack Obama is not a fairy tale. He is real," former Virginia Gov. L. Douglas Wilder told reporters at a Democratic fundraiser as the former president spent the day campaigning for Hillary Rodham Clinton in Richmond and three other Virginia cities.

DELEGATE DISSING HILL
By GEOFF EARLE

February 9, 2008 -- WASHINGTON - In an ominous sign for the Clinton campaign, a New Jersey "superdelegate" who holds a valuable ticket to vote at the Democratic National Convention is bailing out on Hillary Rodham Clinton after endorsing her.

Clinton and Barack Obama are fighting each other to a virtual draw in state-by-state contests - potentially letting the nearly 800 party functionaries put a winner over the top.

The delegate, Christine Samuels of Montclair, says she decided to reconsider her support of Clinton because of Bill Clinton's slam that Obama's position against the Iraq war was a "fairy tale," and because of Hillary's campaign-trail tears.

US may ask death for 9-11 suspects

WASHINGTON - The Pentagon is planning to charge six detainees at Guantanamo Bay for the Sept. 11 terror attacks on America and seek the death penalty.

Defense Department spokesman Bryan Whitman said an announcement of the charges could come Monday.

A second official said that military leaders also will seek the death penalty for the attacks that killed nearly 3,000 Americans.

THE VOTERS SHOULD DECIDE

By RYAN SAGER

February 11, 2008 -- ABOUT half a million Democrats went to the polls on Saturday, in Louisiana, Nebraska and Washington state, handing decisive victories to Barack Obama. Some 14.6 million Democrats went to the polls Feb. 5 on Super Tuesday, including 1.7 million New Yorkers, and delivered a decision more evenly split between Obama and Hillary Clinton.

But maybe everyone should've just stayed home. In the end, the Democratic race may be decided not by the voters, but by 796 party powerbrokers: the superdelegates.

Governors, congressmen, state-party chairmen, old lions of the Democratic Party. Largely unfamiliar to the general public, the superdelegates - whose votes at the convention will be bound by nothing more than whim and personal preference - make up about a fifth of the delegates set to decide the nominee in Denver come late August.

I admit the political landscape seems bleak and limited. So to console myself, I am dwelling on the possible Vice Presidents each might choose.

The Vice President of the United States, hereafter to be referred to as Veep (the term coined by Alban Barkley, who was President Truman’s Vice President) is first in the line of succession to a President who is removed, resigns or dies. The Veep, as designated by our Constitution, is also the President of the Senate and can break tie votes. That can be crucial in a closely divided Congress.


I don’t want to get into Electoral College arcana here, but in the past each elector was permitted two votes and the candidate who came in second became the Veep almost automatically after a process in Congress. Just think: we could have either version of Obama/Hillary or McCain/Huck/Romney

Clinton Is Bracing for a Last Stand
Falls Behind in Delegates, Replaces Aide

By JOSH GERSTEIN
Staff Reporter of the Sun
February 11, 2008

With Senator Clinton racking up a string of recent defeats in the Democratic presidential contest, her campaign manager is departing and being replaced by an aide who served as Mrs. Clinton's chief of staff during her years as first lady in the White House.

The installation of the campaign's new chief, Margaret Williams, and the departure of the former head, Patti Solis Doyle, came as Mrs. Clinton's rival for the nomination, Senator Obama of Illinois, yesterday swept caucuses in the state of Maine. Mr. Obama won 59% of the delegates to the state convention that will select national delegates, while Mrs. Clinton had 41%, with 91% of the precincts reporting. On Saturday, Mr. Obama also prevailed by healthy margins at caucuses in Nebraska, Louisiana, Washington, and the Virgin Islands.

In an e-mail message to colleagues, Ms. Solis Doyle, who moved to Iowa last year to oversee Mrs. Clinton's ultimately unsuccessful effort there, alluded to some exhaustion but made no reference to the campaign's difficulties or the challenges it faces in the coming weeks.

Texas Governor Views HPV Vaccine As 'Pro-Life' Issue
By Fred Lucas
CNSNews.com Staff Writer
February 11, 2008

Washington (CNSNews.com) - Texas Gov. Rick Perry has no regrets about his proposal requiring sixth grade girls to get a vaccine protecting them from a sexually transmitted disease, even though reports surfaced that some vaccine recipients suffered miscarriages while others had numbness or paralysis after the vaccine was administered.

A year ago, Perry, a Republican, signed an executive order making Texas the first state in the country to require girls entering the sixth grade to get a Gardasil vaccination to guard against Human Papillomavirus (HPV), a leading cause of cervical cancer. It didn't take long for the Texas Legislature to enact a veto-proof law overriding the order and prohibiting schools from requiring the vaccine.

Recent reports to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), many of them still unconfirmed, show that more than 3,000 adverse reactions to the vaccine have been reported. The reports are made through the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), which is essentially raw data that the CDC and FDA must verify. (See earlier story)

North Korea, Muslim countries make list of top persecuting nations
Allie Martin and Jody Brown - OneNewsNow - 2/11/2008 8:00:00 AM

Six of the ten worst places for Christians to live are in Muslim nations. But the worst of the worst, says Open Doors USA, remains North Korea.

The annual "World Watch List" has been released by Open Doors -- a ministry which serves persecuted Christians worldwide. While North Korea took the top spot, six of the remaining spots are Muslim countries, and ministry spokesman Al Janssen says Christian persecution is on the rise in most Muslim nations.

Janssen calls for Christians in free countries to pray fervently for those persecuted for their faith. "We continue to see increasing persecution of Christians in places like Saudi Arabia, Iran, Pakistan, and even in places like the Palestinian territories," Janssen describes. "Gaza had its first martyr this past year, with the murder of the Christian bookstore owner."

Iowa lawmaker criticizes Islamic prayer
Chad Groening - OneNewsNow - 2/11/2008 10:00:00 AM

An Iowa lawmaker says it's not appropriate for an Islamic religious leader to give a prayer on the floor of the State House which calls for "victory over disbelievers."

It has been a common practice in the Iowa State House for individual members of the Legislature to invite religious leaders to open each day of legislative business. But in January, on the opening day of the 2008 session, Democratic State Representative Ako Abdul-Samad, the only Muslim member of the Iowa Legislature, invited a Muslim cleric to give the prayer.

During his speech, the cleric included the phrase "victory over disbelievers" -- words that prompted reaction from some of the lawmakers, including Republican Gary Worthan. "The way the Jihadists interpret that phrase -- 'victory over disbelievers' -- there are only two ways to attain that, and that is either convert them to Islam or kill them," says the lawmaker. "That's the literal interpretation that the Jihadists use -- and so that struck right at my heart."

More Lies (and Fool’s Gold) Revealed

Alyssa A. Lappen

In “The Lies of the Nixon Center” (November 15, 2007), I unraveled some tall tales of its former senior fellow Alexis Debat, a purported Muslim Brotherhood “expert.” Agence France Presse had reported in September 2002 that Debat had never been employed in any capacity by the French Defense Ministry (as he claimed) – which terror expert Jean Charles Brisard further corroborated. He had never earned a Sorbonne Ph.D. (as he also claimed), either.

It’s worth noting now that my October 23, 2006 American Thinker piece, “Islam’s Useful Idiots,” also evidently caught New York University Law School’s Center for Law and Security and purported Muslim Brotherhood “expert” Nick Fielding with their pants down.

Debat – then a consultant to ABC News and the U.S. Defense Department (DOD) – appeared at the Center’s October 19, 2006 Muslim Brotherhood seminar, claiming to be an “expert” on the subject. He made many ludicrous remarks. And in September 2007, Debat fled the U.S. to avoid a lawsuit and accusations of fraud in France – for fabricating interviews with several U.S. and global political leaders.

"There are public meetings and there are secret ones," the PA official explained. "The main progress has been achieved during the secret talks, particularly on the issue of Jerusalem. Today we can say that Israel is prepared to withdraw from almost all the Arab neighborhoods and villages in Jerusalem. Israel is prepared to redivide Jerusalem, and this is a positive development."

"All efforts are under way to find them and until we learn more details, CBS News requests that others do not speculate on the identities of those involved. CBS News has been in touch with the families and asks that their privacy be respected," CBS News said in a statement.

Iraq has become extremely hazardous for journalists, raising concerns about the diminished amount of information about the war that is available to the public.

U.S. Rep. Lantos, Holocaust survivor, dies
Mon Feb 11, 2008 12:15pm EST

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Rep. Tom Lantos, the only survivor of the Holocaust elected to the U.S. Congress and who became an expert in foreign affairs and champion of human rights, died on Monday after recently being diagnosed with cancer.

Lantos, the chairman of the U.S. House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee, died at Bethesda Naval Medical Center of complications from cancer of the esophagus, a spokeswoman said.

The 80-year-old Democrat, who represented his northern California district since 1981, had announced on January 2 that he would retire from Congress at the end of this year because of ill health. He was diagnosed with cancer in late December.

Record Cold for Northern Minn.: 40 Below

Feb 11 11:54 AM US/Eastern
By JEFF BAENEN
Associated Press Writer


MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - It lived up to its name: The temperature in International Falls fell to 40 below zero Monday, just a few days after the northern Minnesota town won a federal trademark making it officially the "Icebox of the Nation."
It was so cold that resident Nick McDougall couldn't even get his car trunk lid to close after he got out his charger to kick-start his dead battery. By late morning, the temperature had risen all the way to 18—below zero.

"This is about as cold as it gets, this is bad. There's no wind—it's just cold," said McDougall, 48, a worker at The Fisherman, a convenience store and gas station in the town on the Canadian border. "People just don't go out, unless you have to go to work."

The Unfunny Election
by David A. Bell
Late-night comedians won't be laughing if John McCain and Barack Obama are the nominees.


If Barack Obama and John McCain end up facing each other in the general election this year, one particular special interest group will find itself unexpectedly discomfited: the comedy writers of America. Politically, these men and women may well support one or the other of the two candidates enthusiastically. But professionally, they will find an Obama-McCain contest a burden, for the simple reason that it is surprisingly difficult to make fun of either candidate. The result might well be the least entertaining presidential election in recent history. But also, perhaps, from a civic point of view, the healthiest.

The reasons for the two men's relative immunity from mockery and satire are different. In Obama's case, it begins with his enormously appealing public persona, and his obvious, heartfelt sincerity. Try mocking a candidate like this and you will probably end up looking mean-spirited and cynical. The racial factor contributes as well. Whites have a hard time publicly mocking brilliant, accomplished African Americans like Obama, for fear of seeming to draw on racial stereotypes. It's telling that while "Saturday Night Live," routinely features presidents and presidential candidates in its skits, and has done so since the days of Chevy Chase and Gerald Ford, it has never had one of its actors impersonate Obama. The one time a "Barack Obama" appeared on the show, last fall, it was the candidate himself, in a cameo. As for McCain, the most important reason is, of course, his heroism as a P.O.W. in Vietnam. Try mocking a man who has sacrificed as much for his country as McCain, and you end up looking not only mean-spirited, but positively unpatriotic.

The extent to which both Obama and McCain are impervious to the sort of mockery which proved so destructive to Al Gore or John Kerry has been obscured, in recent months, by the Hollywood writers' strike--which has therefore, objectively, worked to both men's disadvantage. After all, Hillary Clinton and the recently-departed Mitt Romney are anything but invulnerable to mockery and satire. Imagine what the skit-writers from "Saturday Night Live" could have done with Clinton's "angry moment" in the New Hampshire debate, or Bill Clinton's frantic attacks on Obama. And even though the smartest political satire on TV, "The Daily Show," has been back on the air for a month, without its writers the comedy has suffered, with host Jon Stewart more inclined to draw blood from Wolf Blitzer than from the candidates, or while staging a (hilarious and silly) mock-feud with Conan O'Brien. Hillary in particular should give thanks that the writers' strike has decreased the number and intensity of barbs fired at her from late-night television.

For Clinton, Bid Hinges on Texas and Ohio
By PATRICK HEALY

Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton and her advisers increasingly believe that, after a series of losses, she has been boxed into a must-win position in the Ohio and Texas primaries on March 4, and she has begun reassuring anxious donors and superdelegates that the nomination is not slipping away from her, aides said on Monday.

Mrs. Clinton held a buck-up-the-troops conference call on Monday with donors, superdelegates and other supporters; several said afterward that she had sounded tired and a little down, but determined about Ohio and Texas.

They also said that they had not been especially soothed, and that they believed she might be on a losing streak that could jeopardize her competitiveness in those states.

Barack Obama's Houston campaign office prominently displays a Cuban flag with a superimposed picture of Che Guevara, the Argentine-born terrorist and revolutionary.

Of course, Obama made an issue of not wearing an American flag pin or placing his hand over his heart during the national anthem, quite rightly pointing out that neither gesture is necessary to be patriotic. But it sure makes him look like a fool when his ultra-left supporters go to work every day under the flag of the dictator Fidel Castro.

The Clintons' Terror Pardons
By DEBRA BURLINGAME
February 12, 2008; Page A17

It was nearly 10 p.m. on New Year's Eve, 1982. Two officers on New York Police Department's elite bomb squad rushed to headquarters at One Police Plaza, where minutes earlier an explosion had destroyed the entrance to the building. Lying amid the carnage was Police Officer Rocco Pascarella, his lower leg blasted off.

"He was ripped up like someone took a box cutter and shredded his face," remembered Detective Anthony Senft, one of the bomb-squad officers who answered the call 25 years ago. "We really didn't even know that he was a uniformed man until we found his weapon, that's how badly he was injured."
[The Clintons' Terror Pardons]

About 20 minutes later, Mr. Senft and his partner, Richard Pastorella, were blown 15 feet in the air as they knelt in protective gear to defuse another bomb. Detective Senft was blinded in one eye, his facial bones shattered, his hip severely fractured. Mr. Pastorella was blinded in both eyes and lost all the fingers of his right hand. A total of four bombs exploded in a single hour on that night, including at FBI headquarters in Manhattan and the federal courthouse in Brooklyn.

'SUPER' LATINO SLAMS CLINTON
By MAGGIE HABERMAN

February 12, 2008 -- A prominent member of the national Democratic Party has circulated a sharp e-mail saying the removal of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton campaign manager Patti Solis Doyle was disloyal to Hispanics and should give "pause" to superdelegates and voters.

The e-mail from, Steven Ybarra, a California superdelegate who heads the voting-rights committee of the DNC Hispanic Caucus, was sent to fellow caucus members in the hours after word broke that Solis Doyle - the most prominent Latina in Clinton's campaign - would be replaced by another close Clinton loyalist, Maggie Williams, who is black.

The e-mail noted that Clinton, who is looking to Latino voters for a boost in the Texas and Ohio primaries on March 4, scored heavily with Hispanics in her California win.

Ed Rendell, Straight-Talker

Via TPM Election Central, I see that Governor Ed Rendell is back to embarrassing a presidential candidate he ostensibly supports. Here's an account of how Rendell, a Hillary supporter, recently sized up Obama's chances in Pennsylviania:

Gov. Ed "Don't Call Me 'Fast Eddie' " Rendell met with the editorial board of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette last week to talk about his latest budget. But before turning the meeting over to his number-crunchers, our voluble governor weighed in on the primary fight between Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama and what the Illinois senator could expect from the good people of Pennsylvania at the polls:

"You've got conservative whites here, and I think there are some whites who are probably not ready to vote for an African-American candidate," he said bluntly. Our eyes only met briefly, perhaps because the governor wanted to spare the only black guy in the room from feeling self-conscious for backing an obvious loser. "I believe, looking at the returns in my election, that had Lynn Swann [2006 Republican gubernatorial candidate] been the identical candidate that he was -- well-spoken [note: Mr. Rendell did not call the brother "articulate"], charismatic, good-looking -- but white instead of black, instead of winning by 22 points, I would have won by 17 or so."

DHS, FBI Warn of Possibility of Female Homicide Bombers

Tuesday, February 12, 2008
The growing use by terrorist groups of women — some disguised as expectant moms — to deliver deadly homicide bombs has prompted the Department of Homeland Security and FBI to issue a rare warning that such attacks could take place on American soil.

The joint security assessment cited recent female homicide bomber attacks in Baghdad — in which two women who appeared to have Down syndrome delivered a deadly explosion that killed 99 — as well as in Sri Lanka, Chechnya, India, Pakistan and the Palestinian territories as reason for the warning.

"Female suicide bombers may have an advantage over their male counterparts in accessing targets," the analysis cautioned. "The means to conduct a suicide attack vary widely, but a key element in maximizing the lethality of a suicide bombing is the bomber's ability to get close to the target."

Confrontation in Berkely: Moonbats vs. Move America Forward
Rick Moran
There are conflicting reports of a confrontation early this morning between representatives of the pro-troop Move America Forward and anti-military protestors of Code Pink.

This report has the police separating the two sides:

A pre-dawn confrontation broke out this morning in Berkeley between peaceniks and pro military groups, more than 12 hours before the City Council considers to rescind its statement telling the U.S. Marines they're unwelcome in this leftie town. Police were forced to form a line between the two groups to keep them apart shortly after 6 a.m. at the park across Martin Luther King Jr. Way from old City Hall, where the City Council meets. An hour and a half later, the shouting continued, but there had been no arrests, a police dispatcher said. The Berkeley City Council tonight is scheduled to revisit the council's Jan. 29 approval of a resolution calling the U.S. Marines' recruiting office on Shattuck Avenue "uninvited and unwelcome intruders." The vote was 6-3 in favor. The 6-3 vote on that item caused a nationwide backlash against the city, prompting Republicans in Washington and Sacramento to introduce legislation to take away money for things like school lunches and police communications equipment.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Homeowners threatened with foreclosure would in some instances get a 30-day reprieve under a new initiative the Bush administration announced Tuesday.

Dubbed "Project Lifeline," the new program will be available to people who have taken out all types of mortgages, not just the high-cost subprime loans that have been the focus on previous relief efforts.

The program was put together by six of the nation's largest financial institutions, which service almost 50 percent of the nation's mortgages.

ANALYSIS: In Virginia, White Men Boost Obama; Conservatives Drive GOP
Exit Polls Show GOP Voters Seek Shared Values; Potomac Democrats Want 'Change'

High turnout by very conservative voters and evangelicals made it a hard-fought race in the Virginia Republican primary, while Barack Obama rode majority support from white men to an easy victory in the Democratic contest, extending his recent run.

Obama Defeats Clinton in Virginia Primary Preliminary exit poll results in the Republican primary found that a third of voters described themselves as very conservative, nearly double the number (18 percent) in 2004. They put Mike Huckabee in the game: He won very conservative voters over John McCain by nearly a 3-1 margin, while McCain prevailed among somewhat conservative and moderate Republicans.


Indeed, underscoring McCain's ongoing challenge, just over half of all Virginia Republican voters in these preliminary exit poll results described his positions on the issues as "not conservative enough." Three-quarters, however, also said they'd be at least somewhat satisfied with him as the eventual nominee – though fewer than half would be very satisfied. (Among very conservative voters. moreover, only a third said they'd be very satisfied with McCain as the nominee.)

http://www.abcnews.go.com/PollingUnit/Vote2008/story?id=4280392&page=1

quote:

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee led in early returns, with 49 percent of the vote, in a race that triggered a heavy turnout of evangelical Christian voters.

Four in 10 Republican voters—twice as many as in a 2000 primary—said they were born again or evangelical Christians, and roughly 70 percent of them supported Huckabee, an ordained Baptist minister.

Virginia voters could vote in either primary. In a twist, Huckabee was running slightly ahead of McCain among independents, who cast about a fifth of the Republican votes.

Decision Time for Conservatives
By Oliver North

Just four hours after former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney's pragmatic decision to suspend his campaign for the Republican presidential nomination, Sen. John McCain stood before the annual Conservative Political Action Conference and asked the assembled activists to support his bid for the White House. The "maverick" acknowledged differences he has had over the years with many in the room, offered a spirited defense of his 24-year record in Congress, and made an eloquent, self-effacing appeal for conservatives to unite in the "urgent necessity of defending the values, virtues and security of free people against those who despise all that is good about us."

Reaction was swift -- and predictable. Both Sens. Clinton and Obama, locked in a slash-and-burn contest for Democratic dollars and delegates, quickly dispatched dueling news releases, each claiming dominance over the presumptive Republican nominee. Earlier in the day, Howard Dean, their party's chairman, warned that delay in choosing a standard-bearer could jeopardize Democratic hopes in November: "The idea that we can afford to have a big fight at the convention and then win the race in the next eight weeks ... is not a good scenario." Regrettably, some of my conservative friends seem unwilling or unable to grasp that the same applies to the GOP and appear disposed to squander an obvious advantage.

My "colleagues" in the so-called mainstream media gladly roll their cameras and recorders for those who assert that "McCain is not a real conservative" or who say, "I can never support him," and the ones claiming, "I just won't vote this year." It is, for me, a disheartening display because I have, as we say in the Marines, "been there -- done that."

McCain says doesn't need public campaign cash
Tue Feb 12, 2008 7:34am EST



RICHMOND, Virginia (Reuters) - Presidential candidate John McCain said on Monday he has rejected public funding and its accompanying spending limits as he seeks to wrap up the Republican presidential nomination.

The Arizona senator asked for public funds last summer after his campaign nearly foundered, but said on Monday he does not need taxpayer money as he seeks to secure the party's nomination for the November election.

"That was my thinking, we didn't need to," McCain said after a rally in Virginia, which along with Maryland and the District of Columbia holds primary elections on Tuesday.

Hillary Admits Fox News Is Fair

In a surprising admission, Hillary Clinton says Fox News Channel has actually been fairer to her presidential campaign than liberal MSNBC.

Clinton stated in an interview that aired on station WJLA in Washington, D.C., that her staff had delivered to her “some independent study” suggesting that “in terms of the fairness of the coverage,” Fox has treated her campaign more fairly than MSNBC.

Clinton was responding to a question from politico.com’s John Harris about MSNBC’s David Shuster, who was suspended last week for saying that Hillary’s daughter Chelsea had been "pimped out" by the Clinton campaign by asking her to phone superdelegates on her mother's behalf.

Former CBS correspondent and best selling author Bernard Goldberg noted the clear double standard NBC and MSNBC has on liberal versus conservative commentators.

Goldberg alluded to left wing partisan commentator Keith Olbermann, without mentioning him by name, and noted that has anchored the election night coverage and moderated a presidential debate. Goldberg posed the question "would NBC News have Rush Limbaugh anchoring their election night coverage on MSNBC? Would they have an angry, ideological right winger like Michael Savage anchor their election night coverage on MSNBC?" He then answered his own question "of course not!" And added that "they do have a left wing bomb thrower doing it."

BERNARD GOLDBERG: The people who run GE either don’t care or don’t realize how they’re hurting their brand, how they’re corrupting NBC News. They don’t realize that it’s just plain wrong to have a rabidly partisan commentator who says the president of the United States, and this is an exact quote, "is either a pathological liar or the idiot in chief." You can’t have that person anchoring election night coverage and moderating a presidential debate, but they do. They really literally do.

Obama’s Global Tax Proposal Up for Senate Vote

AIM Column | By Cliff Kincaid | February 12, 2008

A nice-sounding bill called the "Global Poverty Act," sponsored by Democratic presidential candidate and Senator Barack Obama, is up for a Senate vote on Thursday and could result in the imposition of a global tax on the United States. The bill, which has the support of many liberal religious groups, makes levels of U.S. foreign aid spending subservient to the dictates of the United Nations.

IRS probes minister for backing Huckabee
'The one thing we want to protect here is the right to speak on moral issues'
Posted: February 12, 2008
8:55 pm Eastern

One of the pre-eminent advocacy law firms in the nation, the Alliance Defense Fund, is taking on the defense of a California pastor accused by the Internal Revenue Services of engaging in "political activities" in order to establish firmly the speech rights for pastors to address moral issues from their pulpits, even if those issues also fall within the political arena.

Erik Stanley, a lawyer with the ADF, told WND the complaint against Pastor Wiley Drake, of Buena Park First Southern Baptist Church in Buena Park, Calif., is straight-forward because Drake endorsed a presidential candidate as an individual, not as a representative of his church.

"I think that the IRS doesn't really have anything to stand on," he told WND. "He [Drake] personally endorsed Mike Huckabee and made it clear it was a personal endorsement. They are allowed to do that."

A senior adviser to Nancy Pelosi, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, has suggested that she – along with other “party elders” – will step into the ring if they feel that Democratic hopes of winning back the White House or maintaining control over Congress are being threatened. Ms Pelosi insists that she remains neutral in the race and that her “focus is on reelecting a Democratic majority in the House of Representatives”.

However, her voice would carry great authority among many uncommitted super-delegates on Capitol Hill – and she is said by one of those close to her to be leaning towards Mr Obama. “The party Establishment is not going to turn its back on a candidate who is generating this tremendous excitement and bringing all these new voters into the political process,” an adviser said. Mr Obama’s team is busy pushing the same message, telling members of Congress in districts where he has already won that they would be foolish to alienate their core vote in an election year.

Federal judge upholds Arizona immigration ordinance
Chad Groening - OneNewsNow - 2/12/2008 10:00:00 AM

An immigration reform organization is praising the decision of a federal judge to uphold an Arizona law that prohibits businesses from knowingly hiring illegal aliens and yanks the business licenses of those that do.

U.S. District Judge Neil Wake dismissed a lawsuit filed by business groups that argued the law unconstitutionally infringes on federal immigration powers. But Wake concluded there is no conflict with federal immigration law because it specifically lets states regulate business licensing. Recently another federal judge upheld a similar measure in Valley Park, Missouri.

Ira Mehlman with the Federation for American Immigration Reform says good case law is being built among these judges. "[They] have said there is absolutely no conflict between local governments enforcing immigration laws and the federal government's authority over immigration policy," he adds.

The McCain Mutiny

By INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY

Republicans: George Bush insists John McCain is a true conservative. James Dobson says he's not. Meanwhile, Newsweek predicts "there will be blood" in the GOP. We predict a Republican president. There has to be.

Related Topics: Election 2008

McCain wasn't our first choice, but in the field that remains, he's the best choice. It would be disastrous for America if those conservative purists who'd make the perfect the enemy of the good let America go down a path from which it might not recover.

President Bush, speaking on "Fox News Sunday," responded "absolutely" to host Chris Wallace's question of whether John McCain was a "true conservative." McCain is "very strong on national defense," is "tough fiscally," "believes the tax cuts ought to be permanent" and is "pro-life," Bush noted.

That Sucking Sound Is Money Leaving the United States

Michael Cutler

Recently I wrote a commentary about the movement of cash out of the United States through remittances and other methods by illegal aliens who came here with the single-minded focus of securing illegal employment to send money home to assist their family members. The amounts of money that are consequently drained from our economy are huge and do not include the other costs our nation incurs because of the 20 million illegal aliens who are estimated to be residing and working in our country illegally.



This article, originally published in the Christian Science Monitor, focuses on the impact of the reduction in the value of the dollar on the illegal aliens who are draining billions of dollars out of our nation's economy – but nothing is said about the impact of this loss of money on the economy of the United States and on the ability of the average American to meet his expenses.

Susan Estrich: Race and the Democratic Party

By Susan Estrich

LOS ANGELES — A funny thing keeps happening to Barack Obama on his way to victory against Hillary Clinton.

It happened in New Hampshire. It happened again in Nevada. It happened last week in California, Massachusetts, New Jersey and even in New York.

It’s not easy to figure out, but it deserves to be addressed.

In the days leading up to the voting, all anyone talks about is the wave of support for Obama, the momentum flooding in his direction, the crowds like they’ve never seen, the power of the unexpected endorsements — whether from the Culinary Workers’ Union in Nevada or the Kennedys (as in Ted, Caroline, and Maria Shriver) in California and Massachusetts.

AP: Hillary Excuses Wearing Thin

Tuesday, February 12, 2008 3:30 PM

Democratic Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton has found a lot of ways to explain her string of losses to Sen. Barack Obama.


Caucus states, the former first lady says, are undemocratic and cater only to party activists. Southern states, like Louisiana, have "a very strong and very proud African-American electorate" naturally predisposed to favor a black candidate. And so-called "red" states like North Dakota, Idaho and Kansas -- all of which Obama won on Super Tuesday -- will never choose a Democrat in the general election anyway.


By this logic, only certain states really matter, such as New Hampshire and New Jersey, states that Clinton has won. Or Texas and Ohio, states she must capture to stay in the race.

If you are in love this Valentine’s Day, you have more than one reason to celebrate. Being involved in a healthy, loving relationship is good for the heart, says Vanderbilt Heart and Vascular Institute cardiologist, Julie Damp, M.D.

“There are a couple of different theories behind why that might be,” Damp said.

Most of the theories seem to be related to the fact that people who are married or who are in close, healthy relationships tend to be less likely to smoke, are more physically active and are more likely to have a well-developed social structure. Along with that, they are more likely to have lower levels of stress and anxiety in their day-to-day lives.

WND ELECTION 2008
Che flag sends 'disturbing' message about Obama
Candidate attracts 'people who think mass murderers are romantic revolutionaries'
Posted: February 13, 2008
1:31 pm Eastern

The Fox TV affiliate in Houston has captured images of a volunteer in a campaign office for Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama working in front of a flag featuring the image of Che Guevara, the South American revolutionary who became Fidel Castro's executioner after the communist takeover in Cuba.

And while the Obama campaign has issued a statement placing a modest distance between the campaign and its "volunteers," the issue of such an image on display in an office operating on behalf of a man hoping to be commander in chief of the world's last remaining superpower is raising alarms.

Even Obama supporters have been forced into corners because of the issue, with one likening the Texas state Republican Party to Guevara, to whom have been attributed hundreds of executions of anti-Castro leaders.

Abortion: Black genocide
Posted: February 13, 2008
1:00 am Eastern

Most of my life I had considered myself a Christian. Yet 18 years ago as I sat quietly and prayed, I experienced a deep realization – I harbored resentment in my heart. The realization caused me to repent and forgive. Forgiveness set me free from within, and I began to see with a clarity I never had before.

Soon after that life-changing experience, I started BOND to help black men overcome their resentments and find freedom. Soon I was helping men of every race as I saw mankind's problems were universal.

I began to counsel young and older women as well. Many of the women I spoke to were having or have had at least one abortion. During the counseling sessions, I discovered that most of these women had guilt and low self-esteem. Often they had considered suicide.

Catholics Call on Catholic University to Stop Hillary Clinton Appearance

By Hilary White

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, February 13, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) - One of the most aggressively pro-abortion political candidates in recent times, Hillary Clinton, will not be made welcome at a Texas Catholic university campus if the Archbishop of San Antonio has any say in the matter. Clinton, one of two leading candidates for the Democratic presidential nomination, has scheduled a rally for today at the Bill Greehey Arena of St. Mary's, a Catholic liberal arts college founded by the Marianist religious order.

Doors are scheduled to open at 5:30 p.m., with the rally starting at 6:30 p.m.

Archbishop José Gomez of San Antonio said today that he had been neither "advised nor consulted" on the decision to allow Clinton to appear. In a statement, he said, "Catholic institutions are obliged to teach and promote Catholic values in all instances. This is especially important when people look to our Catholic universities and colleges to provide leadership and clarity to the often complicated and conflicting political discourse."

HILLARY TAKES A BLOW FROM A FELLOW NYER:

Dear Governor Dean:

I write this letter as a former Democratic candidate for President of the United States and a civil rights leader who has fought his entire life for fairness and justice for all people regardless of the color of their skin***. I firmly believe that changing the rules now, and seating delegates from Florida and Michigan at this point would not only violate the Democratic party's rules of fairness, but also would be a grave injustice.

As former Presidential candidates we both know that, whether we liked them or not, we adhered to the rules set forth by the Democratic party to select its nominee for president. For example, I would have much preferred starting the nominating process with caucuses and primaries in South Carolina and Washington D.C. than Iowa and New Hampshire. Nonetheless, I knew the rules, abided by them, and ultimately accepted the consequences. Changing the rules in the middle of a presidential contest is patently unfair both to the candidates (including Senator Edwards) and to Democratic voters everywhere.

Some have said that not seating delegations from Florida and Michigan disenfranchises Democratic voters -- especially African American voters -- from those two states. That claim, if true, should have been made many months ago before the decision was made to strip these states of their delegates, and, once the decision was made, it should have been vigorously objected to and contested by those who felt it disenfranchised voters. To raise that claim now smacks of politics in its form most raw and undercuts the moral authority behind such an argument. ......

Matthews: Obama Speech Caused 'Thrill Going Up My Leg'
By Brad Wilmouth | February 13, 2008 - 03:37 ET

During MSNBC's live coverage of Tuesday's presidential primary elections, after the speeches of Barack Obama and John McCain had aired, Chris Matthews expressed his latest over the top admiration for Obama's speaking skills as the MSNBC anchor admitted that Obama's speech created a "thrill" in his leg: "It's part of reporting this case, this election, the feeling most people get when they hear Barack Obama's speech. My, I felt this thrill going up my leg. I mean, I don't have that too often." Minutes later, Brian Williams poked fun at Matthews' confession: "Let's talk about that feeling Chris gets up his leg when Obama talks ... That seems to be the headline of this half hour." (Transcript follows. MP3 available.)

At about 10:13 p.m., right after McCain finished his speech, which came after Obama's speech, co-anchor Keith Olbermann remarked that, due to Obama's unusual speaking skills, it was a good idea for any other speaker to speak before the Illinois Democrat instead of after him. Matthews then expressed what he referred to as an "objective assessment" of Obama's speech:

~~~LOVE LINK HERE~~~

A Super Delicate Super Delegate Dilemma
By Marc Sheppard
First-rate as it is, our one-man one-vote system can't promise majority contentment in every election. You needn't reflect back any further than the 2000 Presidential race to evoke the unpleasantness, racial and otherwise, ignited by a popular vote denied its mandate. But the divisions cleaved by Gore v. Bush would surely pale by comparison should the mainstream approved candidacy of the first black man in history be reversed by a small group of party elites.

After all, we live in a society with the virtues of majority rule engrained in its very soul. It drives our politics. It drives our laws. It even drives various social decisions. When it works, it satisfies our sense of fair play and inclusion. When it fails, whether by irregularities -- real or imagined -- or little understood technicalities, it sparks in us a sense of outrage.

Consider that absent the sense of entitlement imparted to Al Gore by his half-million plus vote popular majority, the Florida debacle might well have amounted to little more than a few days' whining. Instead, we were treated to nonstop recounts, court battles (escalating all the way up to the US Supreme) and more recounts. Not to mention endless allegations of fraud and breaches of every law from the Voting Rights Act to the Americans with Disabilities Act. The resulting suspicions were further aggravated by "disenfranchisement" charges of disproportionate minority vote-spoiling, racially biased voter exclusion lists, and even black-vote-inhibiting police roadblocks.

Zogby: Hillary Loses to McCain

Wednesday, February 13, 2008 3:26 PM

Barack Obama has gained strength in prospective general election match-ups against Republicans John McCain and Mike Huckabee, while Hillary Clinton does not fare as well, a new nationwide Zogby Interactive poll shows.

The online survey shows that Obama would defeat both McCain and Huckabee, while Clinton would lose to McCain and only defeat Huckabee by a small margin.

Clinton struggles among political independents, trailing McCain by a wide margin and Huckabee by a slim margin in that demographic, the survey shows. Against both men, she wins less than 80% of her own party. However, she does better among Democrats than either McCain or Huckabee does among Republicans. Huckabee wins just 70% support in a match-up against Clinton, while McCain wins 72% of the GOP support against her.

The concept of a cashless society where all financial transactions and purchases are strictly controlled and every nuance of a person's life is noted and recorded, in many cases by implanted chips, sounds like the perfect ingredients for a science-fiction thriller.

Yet the Rev. Glenn Guest envisions this apocalyptic scenario following the Bible's Book of Revelation that begins with the gradual disappearance of cash and checks and the increased reliance on debit and credit cards. And he sees it coming closer every day.

"Technology has progressed to the point where (becoming paperless) it can be implemented," said Guest, who has been pastor of Shiloh Baptist Church in Danielsville for 25 years. "And I believe it is being implemented."

California activist: Court hearing has grave implications for marriage
Ed Thomas - OneNewsNow - 2/13/2008 1:50:00 PM
A pro-family activist and talk-show host in the Golden State says he hopes people across the country realize what's at stake when California's Supreme Court justices hear arguments next month in a case which may open the door for homosexual "marriage."

The court announced a March 4 date, and attorney Mat Staver of Liberty Counsel will argue the case on behalf of traditional marriage advocates who are fighting homosexual couples who have sued for the right of marriage. James Lambert, a San Diego-based pro-family activist, says the potential decision will impact marriage across the country.

"If, in fact, gay marriage does happen in this state, it will be a bellwether change to the culture as it pertains to this issue," argues Lambert. "... What will happen is lawsuits of discrimination will follow, and the church will be at risk." Such legal actions, he notes, have already occurred in other countries and other states where conservative pastors have refused to marry a homosexual couple.

Dr. Baliunas' work with fellow Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics astronomer Willie Soon suggests global warming is more directly related to solar variability than to increased levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, an alternative view to what's been widely publicized in the mainstream media.

"Some people argue solar influence is large; some argue it is small. I'm somewhere in the middle," she said during a press conference Thursday afternoon.

Nicaraguan leader calls Obama's campaign 'revolutionary'
The Associated Press

MANAGUA, Nicaragua: President Daniel Ortega, who led the 1979 revolution in Nicaragua, says Barack Obama's presidential bid is a "revolutionary" phenomenon in the United States.

"It's not to say that there is already a revolution under way in the U.S. ... but yes, they are laying the foundations for a revolutionary change," the Sandinista leader said Wednesday night as he accepted an honorary doctorate from an engineering university.

Ortega led a Soviet-backed government that battled U.S.-supported Contra rebels before he lost power in a 1990 election. He returned to office last year via the ballot box.

As Barack Obama continues to clean Hillary Clinton's clock in primary after primary, maybe it's time to take this guy a little more seriously.

He could be the president of the United States.

His appeal, especially when compared with "Shrillary," is understandable. He looks good. He sounds good. He seems like a nice guy.

Obama’s International Socialist Connections


AIM Column | By Cliff Kincaid | February 14, 2008

Campaign workers for Senator and presidential candidate Barack Obama are under fire for displaying a flag featuring communist hero Che Guevara. But Obama has his own controversial socialist connections. He is, in fact, an associate of a Chicago-based Marxist group with access to millions of labor union dollars and connections to expert political consultants, including a convicted swindler.

Obama's socialist backing goes back at least to 1996, when he received the endorsement of the Chicago branch of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) for an Illinois state senate seat. Later, the Chicago DSA newsletter reported that Obama, as a state senator, showed up to eulogize Saul Mendelson, one of the "champions" of "Chicago's democratic left" and a long-time socialist activist. Obama's stint as a "community organizer" in Chicago has gotten some attention, but his relationship with the DSA socialists, who groomed and backed him, has been generally ignored.

Blogger Steve Bartin, who has been following Obama's career and involvement with the Chicago socialists, has uncovered a fascinating video showing Obama campaigning for openly socialist Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont. Interestingly, Sanders, who won his seat in 2006, called Obama "one of the great leaders of the United States Senate," even though Obama had only been in the body for about two years. In 2007, the National Journal said that Obama had established himself as "the most liberal Senator." More liberal than Sanders? That is quite a feat. Does this make Obama a socialist, too?

Che flag sends 'disturbing' message about Obama
Candidate attracts 'people who think mass murderers are romantic revolutionaries'

1:31 pm Eastern


The Fox TV affiliate in Houston has captured images of a volunteer in a campaign office for Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama working in front of a flag featuring the image of Che Guevara, the South American revolutionary who became Fidel Castro's executioner after the communist takeover in Cuba.

And while the Obama campaign has issued a statement placing a modest distance between the campaign and its "volunteers," the issue of such an image on display in an office operating on behalf of a man hoping to be commander in chief of the world's last remaining superpower is raising alarms.

Even Obama supporters have been forced into corners because of the issue, with one likening the Texas state Republican Party to Guevara, to whom have been attributed hundreds of executions of anti-Castro leaders.

George H.W. Bush to endorse McCain ***NEW***

Updated: February 15, 2008 12:25 PM EST

Former president George H.W. Bush will endorse Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) in Houston on Monday during a media availability at 9:30 a.m. Texas time, Republican sources say.

President Bush will be in Africa at the time. He told “Fox News Sunday” last weekend that he would help make the case for McCain’s conservative credentials as soon as there was an official nominee.

The endorsement by the former president does two things that are crucial to McCain as he tries to capitalize on the potential advantages of being the nominee when Democrats are still fighting it out:

Easy answers elude Mich., Fla. delegates ***NEW***
Friday, February 15, 2008 05:42:39 AM

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton desperately wants meaningless wins in Florida and Michigan to turn into votes she can count on. It won't be easy with the Democratic National Committee rules standing in her way.

The DNC is refusing to back down from the tough sanctions it imposed on the two states, which held early contests in violation of party rules. They have been stripped of all their delegates to the national convention in August where either Clinton or rival Barack Obama will be nominated for president.

The DNC has offered Florida and Michigan a couple ways out in compliance with party rules. First, they could hold second nominating contests, but Democratic leaders in both states reject that idea. Or they can appeal to the DNC's credentials committee, a 186-member body that usually operates in obscurity and has a complicated membership and rules process that will require deft maneuvering in this divided campaign.

Iran Puts Uranium Gas in Centrifuges

VIENNA, Austria (AP) - Iran's new generation of advanced centrifuges have begun processing small quantities of the gas that can be used to make the fissile core of nuclear warheads, diplomats told The Associated Press on Wednesday.

The diplomats emphasized that the centrifuges were working with minute amounts of the uranium gas. One diplomat said Tehran has set up only 10 of the machines - far too few to make enriched uranium in the quantities needed for an industrial-scale energy or weapons program.

The statements shed light on the Islamic Republic's experiments with its domestically developed IR-2 centrifuges, which can churn out enriched uranium at more than double the rate of the older machines that now form the backbone of Tehran's nuclear project.

Clinton Wins N.M. Caucus Vote

Thursday, February 14, 2008 6:00 PM

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton finally won the popular vote in New Mexico's Democratic caucus and picked up one extra delegate Thursday, nine days after Super Tuesday voting ended.

State Democratic Chairman Brian Colon made the announcement after a marathon hand count of 17,000 provisional ballots that had to be given to voters on Feb. 5 because of long lines and a shortage of ballots. The final statewide count gave her a 1,709-vote edge over rival Sen. Barack Obama, 73,105 to 71,396.

The former first lady's victory in the popular vote swung the final unallocated New Mexico delegate into her column, which gave Clinton 14 delegates in the state to 12 for Obama.

Daily Presidential Tracking Poll ***NEW***

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Thursday shows Barack Obama opening a double-digit lead over Hillary Clinton in the race for the Democratic Presidential Nomination. Today’s results show Obama earning support from 49% of Likely Democratic Primary Voters while Clinton attracts 37% (see recent daily numbers). Perhaps the most stunning aspect of the Obama surge is that he now leads 46% to 41% among women. Clinton retains a lead among the narrower subset of white women, but her lead in that vital demographic is down to just three percentage points.

Obama now leads 47% to 44% among white voters and 69% to 10% among African-American voters. Rasmussen Markets data now shows Obama to be a solid favorite to win the nomination. However, while the national data is all moving in Obama’s direction, new state polling data shows Clinton is competitive in Wisconsin’s Primary next Tuesday and holds a significant lead in Ohio’s contest scheduled for March 4.

Britain's Encounter with Islamic Law
Daniel Pipes

Beneath the deceptively placid surface of everyday life, the British population is engaged in a momentous encounter with Islam. Three developments of the past week, each of them culminating years' long trends – and not just some odd occurrence – exemplify changes now underway.

First, the UK government has decided that terrorism by Muslims in the name of Islam is actually unrelated to Islam, or is even anti-Islamic. This notion took root in 2006 when the Foreign Office, afraid that the term "war on terror" would inflame British Muslims, sought language that upholds "shared values as a means to counter terrorists." By early 2007, the European Union issued a classified handbook that banned jihad, Islamic, and fundamentalist in reference to terrorism, offering instead some "non-offensive" phrases. Last summer, Prime Minister Gordon Brown prohibited his ministers from using the word Muslim in connection with terrorism. In January, Home Secretary Jacqui Smith went further, actually describing terrorism as "anti-Islamic." And last week the Home Office completed the obfuscation by issuing a counter-terrorism phrasebook that instructs civil servants to refer only to violent extremism and criminal murderers, not Islamist extremism and jihadi-fundamentalists.

Second, and again culminating several years of evolution, the British government now recognizes polygamous marriages. It changed the rules in the "Tax Credits (Polygamous Marriages) Regulations 2003": previously, only one wife could inherit assets tax-free from a deceased husband; this legislation permits multiple wives to inherit tax-free, so long as the marriage had been contracted where polygamy is legal, as in Nigeria, Pakistan, or India. In a related matter, the Department for Work and Pensions began issuing extra payments to harems for such benefits as jobseeker allowances, housing subventions, and council tax relief. Last week came news that, after a year-long review, four government departments (Work and Pensions, Treasury, Revenue and Customs, Home Office) concluded that formal recognition of polygamy is "the best possible" option for Her Majesty's Government.

Serving God an adventure, says prominent youth evangelist
Allie Martin - OneNewsNow - 2/14/2008 1:00:00 PM

Author and youth evangelist Tony Nolan says churches in America must be intentional in reaching out to teens, letting them know that serving Christ is an adventure.

Tony Nolan is currently on tour with Winter Jam, an annual tour that features a variety of Christian music groups. As the show's evangelist, Nolan tells concertgoers about the reality of having a relationship with Christ. It is unfortunate, he says, that many teenagers do not have a firm grasp on the meaning of salvation.

"When I start talking with them about what it really means to believe in Christ, to give Him your life, they never heard that. They just kind of went to church -- they just had an affiliation with Christ," he describes. "They had a belief that motivated them to serving, a little bit, at the local church because mom or dad went, but they haven't exchanged that belief that has motivated them to serving, to a belief that has motivated them to surrender ... [to the] will to God."

Commentary: Planned Parenthood Turns St. Valentine's Day into 'National Condom Day'

By Marie Hahnenberg

February 14, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) - February 14 is one of the most romantic days out of the year. For those who celebrate Saint Valentine's Day, red roses and chocolates are usually the most popular gifts given and received. The history behind this day can be traced back to Christian and ancient Roman traditions. It is a day of love.

However, there are others in this country that make it into a holiday that has nothing to do with love. Planned Parenthood has perverted the meaning of love and is using this day to celebrate what it calls "National Condom Day."

Planned Parenthood not only promotes "National Condom Day," but it also uses this time of year to declare a "National Condom Week" and a "National Condom Month." It turns romantic St. Valentine's Day into an entire month pushing its birth control products, abortions and sick, anti-life, anti-family agenda.

Marine Veteran Hopes New Film Reveals Real Iraqi War ***NEW***
By Penny Starr
CNSNews.com Senior Staff Writer
February 15, 2008

(CNSNews.com) - In his new documentary "Outside the Wire '07," U.S. Marine veteran J.D. Johannes documents firefights between U.S. troops and al Qaeda and examines the troop surge in Baghdad. One segment of the film, "Anbar Awakens," tells how the surge's new strategy of putting troops in villages -- and outside of the Green Zone -- has resulted in Iraqis turning against insurgents.

"Through a great series of events and the blessings of God, I got to go over and see this war firsthand, watch history unfold and record it on videotape," Johannes told Cybercast News Service at last week's Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, D.C., where he screened the "Anbar Awakens" portion of his documentary.

The documentary is a stark and sometimes disturbing look at the brutal conditions faced by troops, their resilience, and the shift of the Iraqi religious leaders, military, police and general population from opposing the coalition to helping it defeat al Qaeda in Iraq, one village at a time. The continued unrest and uncertainty in Baghdad also is explored in the film.
