You've left out a tremendous amount of Obama's substantive legislation (for example, the Lugar-Obama act), including everything he carried out in Illinois (sure, it's state law but it's awfully substantial state law). "Hillary showed tremendous leadership after 9/11"? Really? Where? She expedited payments and extended deadlines. That's nice. Did she mandate providing aid to relief workers? Did she legislate EPA mandates to ensure people weren't working in dangerous conditions at and around ground zero? Did she do anything <em>more</em> than the minimum a NY senator could do after 9/11? You certainly haven't provided any evidence of that. What a farce.

Thanks for this balanced look at Senate records.

While I would hesitate in betting money on Clinton being the candidate, it is more than a little too early to be making that proclamation.

Web sites are not that expensive to set up. Since they are not asking for money, it avoids certain FEC laws I'd think.

Do we have a right to talk about it? Damn right? Anyone labeling us racists, has a big problem. Our research is honest, solid. Tough. I regret that bloggers at this site question our ethnicity, or racial views. Its sad. Not only because Obama relies a great deal on his ability to silence debate on the issue, but also because it amounts to a calumny.

Is it possible for someone to set up a bank account in another's name, say, to channel money, with "plausible deniability?"

Federal Rules Beat State Laws in High Court Rulings

In a major victory for the American business community Wednesday, the Supreme Court ruled in several cases that broad language in some federal statutes invalidates state tort laws and health and safety laws, whether or not that was Congress’ intended result.

Among the rulings is one determining that if a medical device is approved by the federal government, consumers may not sue the manufacturer under state statutes.

Another ruling invalidates parts of Maine’s law regulating the transportation of tobacco with the aim of keeping it away from minors.

Primary Petition for Obama E-mail to send to all your Republican friends Sat, 02/16/2008 - 10:41pm — afnighthawk Attention All Texas Republicans and Independents!! On March 4th, Texas Republicans and Independents will have an opportunity to end Hillary Clinton's (and Bill's) presidential ambitions once and for all! Since Texas has on open primary, Republicans and Independents should sign in at their polling place and request a Democratic ballot. They should then vote for Barack Obama.

Since John McCain has the Republican nomination locked up, voting for McCain or Huckabee at this point will have no effect on the outcome on the Republican side. After you vote during early voting or on March 4th, you ARE NOT done! Report back to your regular polling place at 7PM on March 4th to sign the Barack Obama list for caucus delegates. In a little known Texas voting quirk, 67 delegates to the Democratic convention will be seated because of these caucuses. This is a full one-third of the total number of Texas delegates. For Hillary to lose, she has to lose the primary votes AND the caucus votes. I urge you to vote against Hillary Clinton by voting for Barack Obama. Please forward this e-mail to all your Republican and Independent friends so that we can help ensure the Clinton's defeat on March 4th!!!
