Barack Obama's new rescue plan Don't panic....Yet 'Obama has waged the waged the dirtiest campaign in American history. "That one" Ask Obama & McCain these questions tonight Ther're Back: Ayers,Wright, and Rezko The House needs to step up to the plate. Where are the leaders? Time out? It's about time October 07 November 07 December 07 January 08 February 08 March 08 April 08 May 08 June 08 July 08 August 08 September 08 October 08 John Edwards & Barack Obama went straight for the jugular in going after Hillary. They attacked the vote on calling the Iranian Revolutionary Council a terrorist organization. Saying it will give this president the excuse he needs to go to war with Iran. Hillary’s inconsistent answers were exposed on social security and at the end of the debate she agreed with New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer's controversial plan to give driver's licenses to illegal immigrants but then a minute later started backtracking. Now Bill Clinton was a master at being evasive but her facial expressions and demeanor showed she is no Bill Clinton. Will this debate change the numbers? I don’t know. I think what was really exposed last night was status quo positions of the front runner. How can my party complain about the secrecy in the Bush Administration if Hillary does not turn over all her documents? I understand it gives the other candidates an unfair advantage, because she will be the only candidate required to do this. But if this lack of transparency is going to stop, someone has to take the lead. The other is lobbyist money; Hillary has out raised all the candidates of both parties in lobbyist money from Wall Street, defense department, and insurance and drug companies. Some might see it as success but really it business as usual. Somehow we must have a leader to take us to public financing because these lobbyist have too much influence. I am getting suspicious as to why the Bush Administration is getting their way on the latest NSA spying bill. Did the telecommunication lobbyist have something to do with it? I don’t know. This may sound like a slam on Hillary but it really isn’t, it just exposes some of her weakness in a primary. Great leaders learn form mistakes and they don’t usually repeat them. Constructive criticism will only make a person stronger.

Actually, Mike, I'm surprised that *anyone* in S. TX - or at least this "Coastal Bend" area - has any semblance of a "sense of direction. Having been transferred to the fine city of Victoria in '98 (It's where they said my paycheck would be arriving. I found it somewhat convenient to be in the vicinity.) I came from spending thirty plus years in central and westen OK. The latter twenty years of that tenure was spent at a job that required my driving nearly every freeway, highway, throughway and cow path in a state and area where 99% of the roads run north and south or east and west like God intended roads to run and you could count reliably on there being a roadway exactly one mile north, south, east or west of the one you were on. When I worked in OK directions to work sites were given as "turn North on Hwy XX for 5 miles then turn east on blacktop 2 miles then south into location." I found it somewhat odd at first that when I arrived here, similar directions would state "Take Hwy 59N to FM 447, turn left for 5 miles to CR XX, turn left 5 miles then turn right into location." Now "back home" in OK those directions would put you right back where you started. Here, by some manipulation of the time/space continuum, it puts you somewhere east of Houston! Methinks whoever laid out and named the roads around here was drunk and had a seriously inoperative compass. Ernie
