Since Hillary didn't take her name off of the ballot, it must be a sign from God. So let those votes count. Where is the Rev. Wright when you need him?

She was the only one on the ballot in Mi, but everyone was on the ballot in Florida. Everyone but Hillary took their names off the ballot in Mi.

Cohen is very open-minded and Clinton did make a good choice.

Has anyone ever attended a black church?
Well, right after I had my first son, I got invited to attend a Christmas Eve service by another female military member. What she didn't tell me was that I would be the only Caucasian adult, and that I had been specifically invited, because they needed a baby to lay in the manger filled with straw to be the baby Jesus. At least they brought extra blankets to help keep him from actually touching the straw, because my son was only three months old at the time.

I disagree. What she had to say was insightful, but she just didn't talk a lot. Kind of hard to get a word in when Tavis Smiley is on the panel, plus Bill. They're both pretty talkative

Why do you think the Canadians are investigating something that not even the Obama campaing has denied?
And what do you think the republicans will do with a fraction of the Rezko story and the Reverend Jeremiah?
Sorry, the Canadian govt contacted the Obama campaign after hearing from the Clinton campaign. They even released the transcript and it showed that the BO spokesperson told them what Obama had been saying all along about NAFTA. I think that Rezko (she has campaign contributirs in jail already btw) and Rev. Wright (who by the way in the chickens come home to roost thing was quoting Ambassador Peak - former US ambassador to Iraq when he was on Fox news) will pale in comparison to what they will do with the fact that Preisent Clinton at the behest of his wife, pardoned and released on his last day in office 14 FALN terrorists (a Puerto Rican independence group)who blew up 4 Americans in a restaurant on US soil and the FBI said had been responsible for 34 other bombs in Chicago. Rev. Wright might have said bad things but these folk killed Americans.

former President William Jefferson Clinton appointed Republican William Cohen to be his Secretary of Defense, and Cohen did a really good job. The Clintons look for the best people to do the job regardless of party affiliation. They are uniters, not dividers.

Colin Powell was miscast as a Secretary of State, because he was never involved in any real politics. He was in the military for over thirty years. When he was given information as the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, those below him knew that heads would role if the intelligence coming from the lower echelons was inaccurate. As Secretary of State he trusted his sources that provided the information to be just as reliable as when he was in the military, unfortunately he was put in that position so that he could be taken advantage of by the Bush proganda machine. Powell was too trusting.
Powell would make a good SECDEF, because he knows how to run our nation's military. The Chairman reports to the SECDEF, and works with the various Service Secretaries of the Army, AF, etc. It would be putting Powell in a job that he would actually be qualified to do, versus one where he had to learn as he did it. Despite the abuse by the Bush Administration, Colin Powell still has a lot of respect by Veterans who worked under him. The fact that Hillary has Gen. Shalikashvili and Gen. Shelton's endorsements speaks volumes about the military's leaders confidence in her to get the job done. Those are two of the best leaders that I have ever had the pleasure of serving in the Air Force . I would salute them in a heartbeat, even though they are retired.

In listening to MCCain and his plans for America to be a victorious nation bring peace through war in Iraq and Afganistan for 100 years (or longer I guess, if required), in Iran (no time specified) and who knows where else, am I the only one who thinks that given the current state of exhaustion and depletion of the military and the National Gueard that the only way to achieve his plans are to institute a draft?

Did you know that Clinton had 288,167 more vote in Florida than Obama? And that after they agreed not to campaign in Florida...Obama did a national ad buy that included Florida...one week before that primary. He was the only democratic candidate that had an ad run in Florida. You sure it would be fair to give her just 1 extra delegate?
Another thing...that would cut Obama's 700,000 popular vote lead to just over 400,000
