1. Taken together with the extemely positive response coming

to Elizabeth's cancer recurrence, and their decision to stay in the race, I think Hillary and Obama have some formidable competition.

Looks like a race, to me.

Thank heavens for the bloggers! They are able to make a real difference in American politics. It is about time that the American people had a say in who runs. Jimmy
Carter said that today he would not have been able to run for president with the
way the system works.

4. I confess to having made a donation--two days before the announcement about Elizabeth

I was sitting in the airport bar having lunch before a flight when CNN came on scooping their press conference, claiming they would suspend the race.
When they announced they were going forward, (and chided the press) I was so glad.
