...more flawed than Kennedy, and many of us lost all respect for the man long ago. Obama is making a mistake attaching himself to the Kennedy family. Sadly, Obama has poor judgment when it comes to his associates, as previously seen with his pastor and Antoin (Tony) Rezko. I hope Obama can accept the endorsement with no strings attached and win the nomination on his own merits. Susan Kachmar, Mondovi...
...dearly hope that E.U. officials know what they're doing, and that they're up to this challenge. Declaring Kosovo's independence was easy, but making it a decent place to live will be a long haul.

...heart of the coming debate with Democrats is the war in Iraq, for which McCain is the nation's most public proponent outside the White House. Democrats, including Clinton and Obama, hope to focus the debate on the past, on the mistakes that have been made and the cost in blood and treasure, which most Americans disapprove of. McCain, on the other hand, is determined to focus the debate on what to do next, about which the Democratic candidates have remained remarkably vague beyond saying they want to promptly begin a drawdown in forces. "I believe I can convince...
