A vote to stay at home in November is a vote for John McCain. Many republicians dislike  McCain. But they will go to the poles and vote for him in November. Why? Party Unity. Why can't the Democrats do the same? Instead of airing their dirty laundry on fox news. Yes he could have chosen Hilary, but he did not. Stop giving the Republicians things to use against us. Vote for Obama and Biden.

Even more than before, I realized why Hillary could never be VP: she's strictly presidential material.  fellow Democrats, we blew this one!

How come this teacher is not in school with his students?  I wonder how unbiased his classroom is?  Oh, maybe the school will pay for his trip, since he is at the convention where the party believes in throwing more money at education, escpecially if he is from a district with more minorities.  Remember that Joe Biden said that we have to spend more money on minority education because their mothers don't read to them and the first education they get is when they walk through the doors of the school.  Go dems!!!
