| Keeping up with Clinton
1:45 p.m.: Still waiting ... 1:48 p.m.: Clinton arrived in a Chevy SUV in the back area of the fairgrounds and was greeted by elected officials including Congressman Solomon P. Ortiz, state Rep. Solomon Ortiz Jr. and state Rep. Abel Herrero and others and walked into a fundraiser and reception where monied supporters waited. She is expected to make an appearance any second. 1:50 p.m.: Clinton is trying to get to the stage, but crowds are blocking the entrance. 1:51 p.m.: Walter Jones, 62, came to see the candidate. He wanted to judge the speech, body language and interaction before deciding how to vote. “I want to look at an individual in the eyes and see." His wife Jacquelyn Jones, 59, said he wouldn't be close enough to see that. Jacquelyn said she felt they should have held this rally at a better facility and that it needed better organization, complaining that a large group of Robstown students were allowed to cut in front of them.

Dion hints Liberals willing to let budget stand
Cue the personal attacks from the Harpercrite apologists.
Care to try and make your point without attacking his english (which is as good or better than Harper's french, IMO), his heritage, his physique, or other superficial and irrelevant things?
Can you do it?
Didn't think so.
Don't feel too bad....neither can the CPC. Their attack ads are all sizzle and no steak. And pathetic, to boot.
That's why your hero's party is basically in a tie with Dion's in the polls.
That's why Harper will never get his majority.
Thank goodness. Posted 19/02/08 at 1:52 AM EST | Alert an Editor | Link to Comment .

Venezuela Threatens to Cut US Oil
The U.S. buys 65% of his countries high sulfer crude. The U.S. also supplies over 1/3 of the food consumed in Venezuela as well as the great majority of consumer goods (Cars, refrigerators, electronics, ect). As much as he might rail against the U.S., he knows that his country depends on 4/5 of its revenues from Oil sales, and must import food to feed his citizens. Hopefully it can be resolved without all the theatrics on both sides. .
