		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hucklebee also an adherent of the principle the prez’s first, and most important job is to protect Americans from being killed. Wrong again. And Huck says - let no one doubt that I’d attack Pakistan if necessary.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Huckabee is completely burned toast if many in Iowa saw that interview.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I don’t care which Repub wins their nomination, but it would be best for America if their best did win. We must always strive to have the best. Huckabee has been damaging himself every time he opens his mouth. Now, I think it’s irreparable, so we’ll probably see Romney take Iowa with at least a 10% lead. After that it is only a question of whether he can finish 1st or 2nd in NH. If he can’t then it remains an open question.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;it did seem to me Russert was lobbin’ T-balls at Obama. Anyone else?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I was very curious how Russert would handle Obama and in the end I thought it was pretty typical. I don’t think he was particularly easy or hard on him. Obama has been struggling of late and that interview didn’t go very well in my opinion.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sadly, I missed the Clinton interview on Stephanopoulos’ show.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I watched C-SPAN later and saw town hall meeting by all 3 and Edwards &amp; Clinton looked significantly better than Obama. Hillary has come a long way with her speaking skills. She’s slower and cooler than Edwards, but very smooth and speaks very clearly. Edwards was his usual fast-paced, hard-hitting anti-corporation-control speech and focused on down-to-earth issues and solutions. All of them had good crowds, so we know all of Iowa is now engaged and listening closely.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;and Benie had to be cut down…shot across the bow to ALL us uppity womanz&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I’ve seen one news story or blog which had a video of her interview where she says ObL was murdered. She has also said that murder was somehow related to Omar Shaik. Well, this story was censored by the BBC. Why?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One reason *might* be that Omar Shaikh, despite the name, was British!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yep, one of the top Al Qaeda types was a Brit. Connecting all the dots on this story is a nightmare. I’m sure there will be more to come, even if it’s just cover-up material.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We’re still waiting (aren’t we) for someone to say why she stood up at just the moment they were on the road right next to the assassin. We’ve certainly heard about 5 other stories which didn’t jibe. There was the withdrawal of the Musharraf police, the timing of her standing up, the two men pictured near her car and no security tackling them and going back there is the huge question of how she came to go back despite grave dangers. Just like 9/11 there are lots of questions and few answers.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Why the hell did Russert not ask Obama about his inflammatory Pakistan rhetoric?  Just this August he threatened to invade Pakistan for God’s sake and somehow this isn’t relevant in selecting a president, especially now?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Good Lord.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Brooks on This Week saying a win for Edwards in Iowa is a win for Hillary.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;WRONG.  A win for Edwards in Iowa is a win for Edwards–and America.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Ann — The plus sign doesn’t appear on the screen — will add the word in for clarity.  There is some confusion in some of the reporting as to which states are or are not scheduled at this point, so I’ve given you all the best information that I could verify at this point numbers-wise.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Love the Owl Photo. Yesterday morning while walking my morning hike I was fortunate enough  to be directed to a Barn Owl perched in a tall ponderosa tree. Here in Bend Oregon we have a trail close to my home that winds through neighborhood and past parks and  after passing a couple walking the opposite direction they called out to me and pointed out the Barn Owl. This trail goes all the way to Pilot Butte a 500 foot high cinder cone (Central Oregon was a hot lava rock 6000 years ago). In the past on three different occasions while hiking to the summit I’ve been lucky enough to observe Bald Eagles cruising for the numerous Jack Rabbits and Chipmunks that populate the Butte. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The owl photo is nice reprieve from politics. I’m a political junky and I’m sick and tired of this protracted Presidential campaign.  We need to fix and shorten the Primary System!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Go John Edwards&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
