Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-Manhattan) was concerned by the ruling that even if Whitman knew she was giving false information, she would have immunity unless she intended to harm the victims.

“This interpretation means that government officials in the future can deceive the public and harm thousands of people with impunity,” said Nadler, who grilled Whitman at a congressional hearing last year

Citizen bobschacht:

“The big question: how will those states vote in November.
Will it make any difference if the Democratic nominee is Clinton or Obama?”

In any case, I’d like ta read a good, transparent analysis of the numbers from someone competent to do so…how about you there, Brother Bob, are ya interested?

KEEP THE FAITH AND PASS THE AMMUNITION, THERE’S A CHANGE A’COMIN’!!!

What will registrations look like once the primaries are over?

Also, as usual, huge turnouts in the Democratic party shifted the party registrations in some counties from majority Republican to majority Democrat.

The big question: How will those states vote in November?
Will it make any difference if the Democratic nominee is Clinton or Obama?

I’m not fan of their Senators (particularly the Democrat), but I’ve never gotten a racist hit from either.

But I would hazard a guess that if Senator Obama is already very close or leading there, that Team Clinton will not be able to overcome it without the trashiest of tactics. I would, however, not put it past them.
