This land is my land: Number of individuals arrested and prosecuted for crossing the U.S.-Mexico border skyrockets. This land was made for you and me: Hamas brokers Gaza cease-fire with Israel.

Redefined: Michelle Obama battles image of herself as an angry, whitey-hating black separatist who hasn't ever been proud of her...

Pennsylvania 47.8 40.5 Obama +7.3
Ohio 47.5 41.3 Obama +6.2
Michigan 40.7 42.3 McCain +1.6
Wisconsin 49.0 41.0 Obama +8.0
Virginia 44.3 43.8 Obama +0.5
Florida 42.0 47.7 McCain +5.7

2. Sorel's best moment: when he stops off in Church to ensure he's sufficiently hypocritical that day.

PC/unPC/Susan... You totally failed to comment on the Michelle Obama story. The phony smears against her are some of your, uh, proudest work. Or whatever. Your most significant work I guess. I mean you basically have nothing except a lot of wrong predictions and your false rumors, and the false rumors are all that have amounted to anything.

Comment? Are you sorry? Do you wish you could take it back? Do you plan on doing more of that kind of thing?

My parents live 1/2 mile from the Donut Hole and are ecstatic that the Yarrow Bay offer fell through. HW 169 is in crappy shape, and throwing 1000-2000 more cars per day on it isn't going to make it any better.

FWIW Obama is starting to pull away - this could actually turn into a rout

I'd love to see it happen, but I won't hold my breath.

In fact, they were the sole bidder. So, they are going to proceed with their project. Meanwhile, the city gets less money.
