Debbie Stabenow first met Hillary Rodham Clinton in the early 1980s during a children's welfare panel discussion.

Stabenow was a state representative, Clinton a child advocacy attorney with a passion for protecting kids. Both Democrats now are U.S. senators, Stabenow representing Michigan and Clinton, New York.

"I said, this is somebody I want to get to know because it was somebody whose values I share," Stabenow said Saturday after officially endorsing her good friend's 2008 presidential bid.

I don't despise Stabenow, despite a few of her votes. That said, I really, really, really, really, REALLY disagree with her on this.

Conyers, FYI, endorses Obama.

7. I think better stated it is saying "One step towards a corporatist victory in 2008"

Which will keep our one party state intact... Still trying to figure out why so many Dems want that to happen!

6. No way

The Republicans don't have a chance of defeating Hillary
