Hillary and Bill Clinton might be "Ready to Rumble" the Democratic Party right into a loss in November [March 17]. Her plan is to convince the Democratic leadership that Barack Obama is unelectable.

Maybe then she could become part of the Republican strategy team. Paula Rantz, PALO ALTO, CALIF...
Certainly, those nations who have sent their forces into harm's way have suffered the greatest loss. Canada has seen 81 fatalities in Afghanistan, almost all of them in the past two years. Based on the size of Canada's contingent, that is a higher rate than the U.S. has sustained in Iraq. U.S. casualties in Afghanistan have risen, too. From 2002 to 2004, the Taliban killed one U.S. soldier a week; last year the rate was twice that...
...NATO countries such as Australia and South Korea, suffered 232 casualties. Opium exports have skyrocketed.

...Many pundits point to Obama's loss in Ohio, 45% to Clinton's 55%, as a bad omen for his chances in Pennsylvania.

Clinton's economic-themed campaign resonates in the Rust Belt, especially under the shadow of a possible recession (though the big cities in Pennsylvania have transformed their economies from their industrial past more effectively than Ohio's). More than half - 57% - of Democratic Pennsylvania voters are over the age of 45, a strong demographic for Clinton...
...guys in this locker room, especially the seniors, have had thier backs against the wall and responded well over the last several years.”MacDonald agrees and puts faith in the ability of his teammates to execute as they did on Sunday, when a loss to Quinnipiac would have meant an end to the season.“I think the team that can control their emotions and stayed disciplined and stick to their gameplan will most likely be victorious,” MacDonald said. The closest individual match-up arguably occurs between the two men standing...
