I hadn't realized NBC News got to make the allocation.

Anyone with a brain would understand that soz meant "projected" to be allocated.

So why does Texas, operates this way? I'm confused? What will the Democrats gain, from having all of this confusion, over who will represent them? I'm almost praying that Obama gets out of this and let Hillary have this headache!

No way!

It's a holdover from the State's rights era; states can choose their own methods of selecting a nominee for President, and they do so.

Anyone with a brain would know I was quoting NBC and not soz.

"Sozobe wrote quote" means you were quoting sozobe so you are brainless and illiterate.

And, just for the record, sozobe wasn't quoting NBC news.

Try to be more careful in your retarded and feeble flame attempts at flames rather than making yourself look like even more clueless than you are.

I know what the guy was aiming to say, but in my opinion, he missed the target big time, and more or less betrays his mindset.

Why don't you two get a room . . .

As silly and dumb as you just looked, you have some chutzpah calling me "brainless."

fascinating.

A quote of Obama:

"But it should also include -- it should also include other, you know, information about contraception because, look, I've got two daughters. 9 years old and 6 years old. I am going to teach them first of all about values and morals. But if they make a mistake, I don't want them punished with a baby."

Thats news to alot of people that babies were punishment! Maybe he should tell his daughters that babies may happen when they mate with the opposite sex, and that doing so brings responsibility, not punishment.

I know what the guy was aiming to say, but in my opinion, he missed the target big time, and more or less betrays his mindset.

Obama Wins Backing of 9/11 Commission Co-Chairman Lee Hamilton

By Julianna Goldman

April 1 (Bloomberg) -- Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama has won the endorsement of one of his party's top foreign policy figures, Lee Hamilton, who hails from Indiana, home to one of the next crucial primary votes.

Hamilton, a former U.S. House member who co-chaired the commission that investigated the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and headed the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, said he was impressed by Obama's approach to national security and foreign policy.

``I read his national security and foreign policy speeches, and he comes across to me as pragmatic, visionary and tough,'' Hamilton said in an interview. ``He impresses me as a person who wants to use all the tools of presidential power.''

Hamilton also sided with Obama on two foreign policy stances that have been criticized by Senator Hillary Clinton of New York, Obama's rival for the Democratic nomination, and Senator John McCain of Arizona, the presumptive Republican nominee. Both have dismissed the Illinois senator, saying he doesn't have enough experience to deal with critical foreign policy matters.

``He wavers from seeming to believe that mediation and meetings without preconditions can solve some of the world's most intractable problems, to advocating rash, unilateral military action without cooperation from our allies in the most sensitive region of the world,'' Clinton said Feb. 25 in Washington.

Hamilton said he agreed with Obama's position on meeting with U.S. adversaries such as the leaders of Iran without conditions. Also, Obama's consideration of unilateral military action against terrorist hideouts in Pakistan, is already U.S. policy, Hamilton said.

Indiana Primary

The endorsement from Hamilton, who was on the short-list of former president Bill Clinton's 1992 vice presidential picks, may give a boost to Obama in Indiana, where polls show a tight race ahead of the May 6 primary.

Hamilton, who was also a co-chair of President George W. Bush's Iraq Study Group, served for 35 years in Congress, retiring in 1999. He is the president and director of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars and serves on Bush's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board and his Homeland Security Advisory Council.

There might not be a better foreign policy get for Obama inside the Democratic Party than Lee Hamilton, who was the top Dem on both the 9/11 commission and the Iraq Study Group. He's not a superdelegate, but he is fairly well known in Indiana, particularly in the area of the state where Obama is not expected to do well. "Hamilton, once mentioned as a possible running mate for Bill Clinton, told the AP he believed Obama was the candidate most likely to unite the country."

Presumably she thought the sniper fire story would impress the audience of soldiers. So her campaign team should book her in to speak to other professions to see what she comes out with. If she addresses lumberjacks she'll start, "Hey, that's a tough job you folks do. And I should know because I once spent two days dangling from a cedar tree. Then my chainsaw slipped and sawed me down the middle, but luckily my right half put my left half in a nearby freezer that kept it fresh until the doctor arrived to sew me back together. But hey, let's turn to the economy."
