Until she is proven to be part of the worst group of NRA members, all you can see is she supports the NRA. Shouldn't be an issue. > > 2.

There are so many things in DC that are obviously broken as well, but no one wants to make a change. Plus, you have pointed out a politician who kept a campaign promise. A rare species. > > > 3.

Obama had plenty of opportunities to criticize Daley/Stroger/Emil Jones in Chicago. It would be an obvious step and easy target for a reformer. She might not be the best person for the job, but she was McCains best choice for competing. But that's politics all around; the people who should be leading never make it to office. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:267900 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
