1. Texas Republicn Primary concluded with Governor Rick Perry winning easily over Kay Bailey Hutchsinson. The amount of votes by Debra Medina though illustrates the impact of conservatism through the Lone Star State. You have a constitutional candidate in Medina who received 16% of the votes. When it's all said and done, I think the elections in November will slide heavily towarrds the right.
2. Reconciliation is the word. Everyone should read Charles Krauthammer's column. I love the last line, "You can only be disillusioned if you were once illusioned." I believe it's telling how many people are now against the democrats' agenda. It appears too many people were illusioned by candidate Obama during the election in 2008. I can't see how ramming through the health care debacle would benefit the country or the democratic party in the upcoming years.
3. I think the debate is over concerning whether or not the debate is over for global warming and climate change. Too much science from the right, too much verbosity from the left. I'll take the science.

1. Texas Republican Primary is today. Two heavyweights are going at it; Gov. Rick Perry and Sen. Kay Baily Hutchinson. Perry is looking for his third term as Governor while Hutchinson is hoping to leave her US Senate spot to leave Washington. Prediction: Perry 51% Hutchinson 35% Medina 14%. Hutchinson will drop out of the race and not run for reelection for Senate. Michael Williams of Houston will win the Senate seat.
2. Thank God for Jim Bunning for being a solo filibuster. He may be leaving office this year and he may have voted for similiar things in the past, but he is standing up for a reasonable cause. Instead of paying for the unemployment extension with money the government doesn't have, use unspent stimilus to do so. Sounds simple. Sounds reasonable. Do it.
3. Ryan Miller is the best goaltender in the world at this point in time.

1. March has begun. President Obama's health care summit was fun to watch, especially Representative Paul Ryan easily being the most prepared and straight to the point. Here he is.
3. Representative Anthony Weiner accuses the Republicans in Congress of being owned by the Health Insurance Companies. Here's the Video Clip:
4. Here's an editorial from the New York Post questioning who "owns" Anthony Weiner? Who Owns Anthony Weiner? It's pretty hypocritical for Rep. Weiner to say what he did on the floor of the House but then take money from the same insurance companies he accuses that "own" the Republicans.
