Democratic Presidential Candidate Sen. Barack Obama wins Mississippi Primary, Texas Caucuses

Associated Press photo
Sen. Barack Obama is the winner of the Mississippi primary, as projected by CNN. He also came in first in the Texas carcases. Thirty-three delegates are at stake and will divided between the candidates.
Sen. Obama appeared on CNN with Wolf Blitzer, answering questions about the Florida and Michigan Democratic delegates and what he saw while in Mississippi.
He said there is a need for change readily seen in the state. He toured the Delta region where he saw underfunded schools, joblessness and a lack of health care. Obama said he wants to change how business is done in U.S. and in Washington. He also said he would be the better nominee, overcoming special interests groups. Obama said he is not surprised at how Sen. Hillary Clinton's campaign doesn't reciprocate respectful campaign methods as his does.

As far as picking a vice president, he said that decision is premature at this point in the election process. He said if he wins the party's nomination he will choose the best person for that position.
He is focused on unifying the Democratic Party and institute a shift away from "Bush policies."
Sen. Obama said he would be in favor of discussing a fair solution to the delegate situation in Michigan and Florida but did not favor mail-in votes because he wants to make sure all of the voters are heard and the process is fair.

How do the drugs get into the water?

"People take pills. Their bodies absorb some of the medication, but the rest of it passes through and is flushed down the toilet. The wastewater is treated before it is discharged into reservoirs, rivers or lakes. Then, some of the water is cleansed again at drinking water treatment plants and piped to consumers. But most treatments do not remove all drug residue."

Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) and Fraud Trial

``If she wants to make issues like ethics and disclosure and law firms and real estate deals and all that stuff issues, as I've said before I don't know whey they'd want to go there, but I guess that's where they'll take the race,'' David Axelrod said.

Where have I been?
Although I am a staunch Sen. Barack Obama supporter, in the early days, I simply admired Sen. Hillary Clinton when she was first lady and when I saw that she was running for the U.S. Senate. I had no idea about this stuff. If you ask me what I admired about her, I wouldn't immediately be able to tell you but yet she had my admiration.



What will the Democratic Party do about this or what has been done already?
Where have I been? Well, now the proof is in the pudding. If you subscribe to Topix.com and read the stuff on the site, you have no choice but to be informed. (go Aynon go!:0)
