1. Welcome to the party!
:hi:

I supported Edwards, too and I was very disappointed when he dropped out, but I'm very comfortable with my new candidate. :-)

2. It was his speech last night...
and his Grandmother in Kenya that caught me.

100%.

5. Just curious, why would his grandmother in Kenya convince you he would be a good Prez?

16. Because I personally believe...
Edited on Wed Feb-06-08 08:33 PM by Labors of Hercules
based on my own experience, that familial ties in other countries engenders an understanding of our global condition that transcends anything else... :shrug: And I want a true global thinker in our next President.

11. But Hillary is?
Democrat Hillary Clinton has raised more money from lobbyists than any other presidential candidate while Republican John McCain has more of them assisting his campaign.

Clinton took in $823,087 from registered lobbyists and members of their firms in 2007 and the second-biggest recipient was McCain, who took in $416,321, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, a Washington-based group which tracks political giving. Barack Obama, Clinton's rival for the Democratic nomination, doesn't take money from registered lobbyists, although he received $86,282 from employees of firms that lobby, according to the center.
