Critical Primary Elections Today, Obama & Clinton Showdown

From the "Voice of America News":

"Voters are going to the polls in the eastern states of Maryland, Virginia, and in Washington, D.C. The three neighboring jurisdictions hold about 12 percent of the total delegates needed to reach the nomination"

So GO if you're in the area. Clinton has a slight lead over Obama. Meanwhile, McCain backed by Jeb Bush - oh now there's a surprise. "The former governor called McCain a patriot and devoted conservative leader who has made tremendous sacrifices for the country." RECANT I apologize for the previous sarcastic statement, (now deleted) about McCains' "sacrifices". He was a prisoner of war in Vietnam and has indeed made them. But the support of Jeb Bush seems to be very contrary to something someone who has been in torturous conditions as a prisoner of war would want. So, ask not what your Senator can do for you but what you can do for your Senator, holds.
