Well there you have it…
Here is the story that I just read from CNN
“Obama forcefully shot that idea down.
“Sen. Clinton is fighting hard. She’s tenacious. I respect her for that. She is working hard to win the nomination. But I want everybody to be absolutely clear. I’m not running for vice president. I’m running for president of the United States of America,” Obama told supporters during a rally in Columbus, Mississippi. If anyone should be suggesting vice presidential candidates, it should be him, Obama said.
“With all due respect. I won twice as many states as Sen. Clinton. I’ve won more of the popular vote than Sen. Clinton. I have more delegates than Sen. Clinton. So, I don’t know how somebody who’s in second place is offering vice presidency to the person
John McCain Secures Republican Nomination
By Emma A Johnson
Senator John McCain has successfully won the Republican Party’s nomination for the Party’s national convention in September for the upcoming presidential election. He clinched the nomination with projected wins in Ohio, Vermont, Rhode Island, and Texas increasing the gap between his closest rival.
Senator McCain’s wins in all four states ensures that he has the support of 1,191 delegates, the requisite number to secure his party’s nomination. His closest rival, Mike Huckabee, has dropped out of the presidential race, pledging his support to McCain. He stated in a rally in Irving, “It’s now important that we turn our attention not to what could have been or what we wanted to have been but what now must be, and that is a united party.”
Hollywood Star Jack Nicholson Backs Clinton
By Emma A Johnson
Democrat Hillary Clinton’s campaign has received support from Hollywood titan Jack Nicholson. Nicholson has endorsed a video compilation of some of his famous film roles in support of Democrat Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton. The video endorsement, popularly dubbed Jack and Hill, has garnered over 1.2 million hits since being posted on YouTube last Friday.
Director Rob Reiner helped Nicholson edit scenes from his movies, including Batman, The Shining, and A Few Good Men, to spell out his support for the former first lady. But it was made without Clinton’s approval. As “Jack and Hill”
Clinton Makes A Thundering Comeback
By Emma A Johnson
Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton landed a surprising knockout in the primary in Ohio, Texas, and Rhode Island, ending Senator Barack Obama’s winning streak of 11 straight nominating contest wins. This spree had led may prominent politicians to suggest that Clinton reconsider her candidature. However, these three major triumphs will help Clinton put behind her, a month of defeats. Now, in her own words, “We’re going on, we’re going strong and we’re going all the way.”
Clinton won the Rhode Island primary with more than 58 percent of the vote. The Ohio and Texas wins, though, remain the prize victories since they are rich in delegates. She won by 55 percent in Ohio in nearly complete returns, and her winning share in Texas is around 51 percent.
E-voting Could Cause Dumb Voting and Further Increase Media Power in Politics
By Lance Winslow
Many folks would like to vote via email, but is that really a good idea? Here is why I ask this question; if we allow folks to vote so easily, then all the laziest of our population will vote early and often, all of them. Remember when people could not punch the right CHAD? Well, we all know what a problem that was. What if all the people voted online, then it would be so easy that anyone who normally would not get off their rear ends to vote or drive to the polls would vote.
Political Correctness
By David Forward
When you approach a strange dog it likes to bark at you and you are immediately on your guard and if not scared of dogs you subconsciously switch on your dog communication skills and rapidly put the dog at ease and show it how friendly you are and the dog has a sniff, gives you a lick and you make friends.
When it comes to humans they don’t usually bark to show other strangers they are uneasy of their approach but they often make noises usually in some form of speech and can be at many different levels of understanding. On a basic level to put others at ease and to show you are no threat, you will probably just smile and say hello.
As I noted earlier, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright has more than one high-profile member in his congregation. Besides presidential hopeful Barack Obama, Wright also preaches his message to Oprah Winfrey, one of the most successful and beloved media personalities in America. She has an active on-line community at Oprah.com, and her forums have had almost 300 posts from members in the past 24 hours after the revelations of race-baiting and hatred at Trinity United Church. Most talk about their concern over the content of Wright’s sermons:
