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.

Mike - > Politcs Plus -> Who are these Houston Astros?
Who are these Houston Astros?

We all knew pitching was going to be a problem, but after some poor early showings, Shawn Chacon, Doug Brocaili, Geoff Gary, Jose Valverde, Oscar Villarreal, and Wesley Wright have done a decent job lately. Roy Oswald showed some good signs of being the Roy of old ,but he is currently leading the league in home runs given up. Brandon Backe needs to settle down and he will be ok.  This year, our pitchers do not have to be lights out, because the new Astros are an explosive offensive team.

 

Astros fans have a new name for the power trio: Lance Berkman, Carlos Lee, and Miguel Tejada.  BLT   B= (bacon) Berkman L=Carlos Lee (lettuce) T=Miguel Tejada (tomato)

These three have been doing most of the damage with their bats, with occasional help from Hunter Pence and Kazuo Matsui.

 

This team has speed with center fielder Michael Bourn and second baseman Kazuo Matsui at the top, power in the middle with BLT, and no slouches with the bat at the bottom of the order.

 

Don't print the World Series tickets yet, but this current Houston Astros team is fun to watch again.
