WASHINGTON (AP) — Hillary Rodham Clinton began her presidential quest armed with talent, tenacity, fame, money, connections and a team that knew how to win. Many people believed her victory in the Democratic nomination was a sure thing. Her ultimate failing may have been in believing it, too. Clinton had one big problem out of the [...]

Interesting... Senator Barack Obama’s presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee are establishing a joint fund-raising committee, a step that is usually only undertaken by a party’s presumptive nominee but in this case is being driven by how long it has taken the Democrats to settle their nomination fight.

Ex Clinton Adviser Dick MorrisBy DICK MORRIS Published on DickMorris.com on February 11, 2008.I believe that Barack Obama will defeat Hillary and win the Democratic nomination.  I think that this weekend's victories in states as diverse as Washington State, Louisiana, Nebraska, and Maine illustrates his national appeal and demonstrates Hillary's inability to win in states without large immigrant and Latino populations.Hillary's results on Super Tuesday, which amounted to a draw with Obama, will be her high water mark and will represent the closest she will ever come to the party nomination.Right now, CBS has Obama ahead in elected delegates with 1134, while Hillary has only 1131.By the time Virginia, Maryland, DC, Wisconsin, and

In recent years the Canadian Government has entered into bilateral agreements with eight provinces and one territory allowing these governments to nominate a pre-determined number of persons annually to become permanent residents of Canada whose job skills can be matched with the skilled worker shortages in that province. The province of Ontario will be included in the program sometime in 2007. Quebec selects applicants using its own program and selection criteria. Each of these provinces has different selection criteria, passmarks and procedures. This year approximately 10,000 persons are expected to arrive in Canada through this route and a greater number is expected next year.The major advantage of being nominated under a Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) is that a Canadian Embassy will give an applicant priority processing of his/her application for permanent residence to Canada once it has received a Provincial Nomination. An applicant who is nominated by a province will receive hi

When Sen. Dick Durbin said something similar two years ago, Republicans attacked him. Now, Bush's own Republican appointee ripped the White House for their practicing torture.

Bravo, Mr. Mukaskey, bravo.Hey, Mr. Mukaskey, one last thing...if you are approved at Attorney General how about arresting Bush and Cheney on your first day for all of the crimes they have committed?

Will Ron Paul and Tom Tancredo Pick Up Their Marbles and Go Home Mad? Reps. Ron Paul (R-Texas) and Tom Tancredo (R-Colo.) made it clear Tuesday that they are not inclined to support the GOP nominee for president if that candidate is not in line with their views.Ron Paul: He would not commit to support the party’s nominee. “Not unless they’re willing to end the war and bring our troops home,” Paul said, to which Sen. John McCain (Ariz.) answered “You don’t want me then, pal.” Paul also said he would not support a GOP candidate who is unwilling to curb spending in Washington.“I’m not going to support them if they continue down the path that has taken our party down the tubes,” Paul said. “I mean, we’ve lost credibility because of all our spending, because we have violated the civil liberties of all the American people, and we have adopted the Democrats’ foreign policy.”Tom Tancredo: “I am absolutely tired and sick and tired of being forced to go to the polls

Did you know that Desperate Housewives' own Felicity Huffman wrote a book about called A Practical Handbook for the Boyfriend?  I was watching a pre-Emmy red carpet show...not sure if it was TV Guide's Lisa Rinna or Joey Fatone or E!'s Giuliana Rancic...and Felicity, stunning in her fuschia David Meister gown, mentioned the book she wrote with her best friend, Patricia Wolff A Practical Handbook for the Boyfriend: For Every Guy Who Wants To Be One/For Every Girl Who Wants To Build One is "A tongue-in-cheek guide for every woman who is looking to build a better boyfriend-and every guy looking for help in the dating arena."  Just what we need more advice how to make male-female relationships more confusing.  No, I'm sure this is an entertaining read knowing Felicity's sense of humor.  Let us know if you read it.  I plan on checking it out, just as soon as I have a boyfriend so I can put its teachings to use!

In case there was any doubt about the lengths to which the Bush administration will go to promote their Christian extremist ideology over competence, we have a reminder in the form of Dr. James Holsinger, Bush's nominee for Surgeon General. Not only did Dr. Holsinger help found a church that views homosexuality as a choice that can be "cured," but his writings reflect his beliefs that homosexuality is unhealthy.If you are like me, you are asking yourself what a physician is doing founding conservative churches in the first place, but let's set that aside for now. It is of greater concern that we could end up with a Surgeon General who sounds like he received his medical training at Regents University.From the Associate Press as reported on LEX18 News:"He has a pretty clear bias against gays and lesbians," said Christina Gilgor, director of the Kentucky Fairness Alliance, a gay rights group. "This ideology flies in the face of current scientific medical studies. That makes me uneasy t

Last time I checked, we're 18 months before the election! 18! Despite the long amount of time between now and Election Day, candidates are already preparing for a massive fight. Since the Democratic race is virtually between two people already, we can better predict who will eventually be nominated.First, lets take a look at the Democratic candidates, well.. the important ones at least.Hillary Clinton is currently the frontrunner in the Democratic Party, but why? People have been speculating a Clinton candidacy for ages - since 2002. Now, the democrats are very happy that a strong, formidable and recognized candidate stepped into the ring. She may be the frontrunner, but Hillary is losing momentum at an alarming rate, making the next candidate more likely to win the nomination.Barack Obama is the other 'major' candidate in the Democratic Party. He was brought to the national stage with a speech at the 2004 Democratic convention, and has never turned back since. Normal people like Ba

Hey, random couple alert. Thursday night, Cameron clearly put on her fancy new out on the prowl (rraaawwwrrr) boots and hit the town.Who did she pick up? Why none other than Blood Diamond Oscar Nominee Djimon Hounsou...obviously. I'm a new convert on the Djimon is hot bandwagon (did you see him at the SAGs?) so I'm all for this pairing. Here's more of what went down: "It looked like the perfect post-Valentine's Day date," a patron tells of the pair, who were with several other friends. "They were totally vibing each other, lip-on-lip action," says the source. "Cameron looked so happy... Djimon followed her every move." Diaz, 34, and Hounsou, 42, hit the dancefloor for Michael Jackson's "Burn This Disco Out" and Gnarls Barkley's version of "Gone Daddy Gone," says the onlooker, adding, "They were dancing really close, bodies pressed together."First of all, "vibing?"
