Becuase I want to be frozen at -10 farenhight for all time. But theres a Law in the U.S.A that says all frozen human corpses have to have a docter on call every day. Where can I get a kids helium party balloon made ready that is 1 inch bigger when its inflated so it goes higher in the sky when released. I believe there are invisible alien flying suacers that will take the balloon after I cut the string and slice my nuckle with a disposable shaving razor so I can dab drops of blood onto the balloon. The Aliens up there will see my baloon when I release it. I want a baloon that has 2 glow in the dark X symbols on it that will shine at night. If I had been in Pheonix Arizona when there was that UFO sighting at night around April 22 2008 I would of wanted a miniture can of helium that is portable so I can be ready to send up my baloon with my blood on it. I might be cloned by the space aliens. Where can I get a freezer that a human body will fit into? Becuase I want to be frozen at -10 farenhight for all time.

Texas' primary and caucus may be seperated out as two different contests, but they are both functions of the same primary process and they are both held in the same state. Why is the media splitting them up into two seperate contests? So they can keep saying Hillary "won" Texas, even if she only won part of it? Obama secured more delegates and more votes in Vermont and Texas. Hillary secured more delegates and more votes in Ohio and Rhode Island. Just because some of the votes in question were votes at a caucus doesn't make them count for less. CNN and the rest just can't seem to figure this out. She won two states.

If not then the Republican party will simply say that Democrats don't care about voters in FLA and MI and may carry both states in November. As far as the general election, once again, "it's the economy stupid" and the chances of a Republican winning in a Republican caused recession are nil.

And like him I feel like this battle between Obama and Hillary has went on too long and now they are in danger of hurting the party by allowing McCain to take shots at them while they are dealing with each other. Howard Dean should step in and say “Look, Obama is going to be the canidate and Hillary you can be his running mate if you choose”…I know I know that would never happen but a guy can dream right?

I just got done watching an interview where Clinton has said it's possible for them to share a ticket it's just a matter of who will be on top. I think you may have a point here--essentially that she's now running to be on the ticket one way or another. By ripping the party apart to head it up, or at least put Obama in a situation where he will lose the general election if he doesn't have her on the ticket with him. It's an interesting way to run for Vice President, but Clinton's comments today are noticeably different from what they were maybe just a week or so ago when both candidates were saying, "let's settle this race first". Thanks for the insight... I'll probably put up a post about that later on today. Interesting.

People took a closer look at Obama. They voted with their brains and not with their emotions. You may think that these wins for Clinton mean nothing. On the contrary... I will miss Huckabee. He was a breath of fresh air, a real candidate. Overconfidence, overexposure and arrogance killed the Obama effect in these major states. People took a closer look at Obama.

But she (and her supporters) will say it's not because she is "mean" but because she is our tough more experienced sainted Mother who wants to protect us. This is why she MUST fight on - all the way to the convention and why and a Obama/Clinton ticket is not acceptable. Rather, she will put forth (and has on all the morning shows today) that the only way out of this mess is a Clinton/Obama ticket -It solves all our problems, addresses all our concerns (that she has created/brought to light) - she then is the Party uniter and if Obama refuses - that shows he is really a divider. Trust me, this is the subtext of everything going forward. Meanwhile she will do everything to freeze the superdelegates and whittle down Obama's lead - including revotes - while she brings everyone to the same consensus.
