John Edwards in Fort Meyers Fla. at the Step It Up rally this past April. I agree with most of his platform on addressing climate change, although I do not believe that (corn) ethanol is a viable solution. But at least he has laid a defiintive plan out, which can be found at his campaign website. I truly do wonder however, just how far he would be allowed to go with his plans in this system. His retiscence to new nuclear plants alone would be at odds with Congress on both sides of the aisle. So, that is why I think that besides concentrating on the presidential race we should also really be looking at what seats are up in 2008 and what we can do to sweep it clean. One particular seat in Oklahoma occupied by a man named Inhofe comes to mind.

IN election years, breakfast is no longer sacred. Upon entrance to any greasy spoon in a hot state everyone submits to the contract that everyone in diners vote and everyone who votes are in diners--maybe it started gaining traction in the 1992 when Bill Clinton frequented the Merrimack Diner smack dab in the center on Manchester on a regular basis--We catch Christina Heller, our resident CJ in Manchester and her associate Craig Goodale before they go back to the Merrimack and other to places they ACTUALLY frequent in real life as people who EAT and VOTE to examine a new study from the New England Journal of Medicine---Candidates at diner = Indigestion

''I am more encouraged than ever before,'' he said.
Although Paul finished in fifth place, he noted that he was ahead of former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani.Republican Ron Paul vowed Thursday night to continue his presidential campaign into... more
