Even if you eliminate 2/3 of this list as coincidence the number of deaths and suicides left is astounding. I don't know if the Clinton's are capable of this kind of evil or not but it is interesting statistics.

Give me a break. Let's have a serious discussion.
He's a Senator like McCain ... hello.
Get serious, the only similarity between Obama and McCain, they are both senators. Don't forget Obama's wife has been proud of America once. I'd almost welcome Bill back.
If Obama doesn't pick Hillary as his VP, she could run for president as an independent AND WIN!! In a three way election, Hillary could beat both McCain and Obama. She would win the big states.
Just out of curioisity, I went to the National Journal study where they found Obama to be the most Liberal Senator. I wanted to find out more about the criteria. It is interesting reading. He does vote as Liberal on many key issues. He did cross and vote with the conservatives on funding the military.
But I also found this that I thought was curious, in order to get ranked you have to vote on a minimal number of issues I guess to establish a pattern:
"Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., the only other senator whose presidential candidacy survived the initial round of primaries and caucuses this year, did not vote frequently enough in 2007 to draw a composite score. He missed more than half of the votes in both the economic and foreign-policy categories."
Thanks for sharing this informative info with us this morning. There is so much news out their that we have yet to learn about McCain and Obama. It's going to be a long, long battle to November.

That's the point I've been trying to make...we've been getting a lot of information from talking heads on all sides, but very little news. I believe that given the global climate (political, social, financial, and environmental) and the decisions that have jeopardized our standing in each of these areas, this will be a very important decision. I'm tired of all the partisan "pundits" and extremists on all sides with the scare tactics and innuendos.
It is impossible to make wise decisions with flawed and skewered information.
