I hope she loses Iowa and doesn't become the candidate. That will insure a (D) presidency, be it Obama or Edwards..

Jim, now that you bring up Spitzer, I have not seen any politician piss away good will of the electorate as quickly as Spitzer did - in less than a year. There is already talk of who would make a good next governor (Bloomberg will be out of the job). Spitzer won with huge margins, getting a lot of Republican support. For a friend of mine, Spitzer was the first Democrat he has ever voted for... Joe

States turning up heat on illegal immigrants Thu Nov 1, 2007 2:00pm EDT By Carey Gillam KANSAS CITY, Missouri (Reuters) - Minor traffic violations do not usually warrant a press release from a governor.

Missouri's efforts are among several now being seen around the nation as state and local officials race to make their territory as unappealing as possible for the nation's estimated 12 million undocumented individuals. The campaign has drawn the ire of religious organizations, civil rights groups and some employers, who argue the actions are unfairly harassing and intimidating both illegal and legal immigrants. "You're starting to see this around the country. They're trying to scare people and they're saying 'We don't want you here,'" said William Sanchez, lead attorney for the National Coalition of Latino Clergy and Christian Leaders, which has filed suit to stop a new Oklahoma law that became effective Thursday. Immigration law historically has been the role of the federal government. But Congress has deadlocked on efforts at immigration reform, frustrating those outside Washington who say illegal immigration puts a strain on schools, health care, and other community services and costs Americans jobs. UNPRECEDENTED ACTIVITY Forty-three states enacted 182 immigration-related laws this year, "an unprecedented level of activity," according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.
