Big Wins for Clinton in Texas and Ohio; McCain Clinches Race as Foe Concedes
followed by a third paragraph that begins like this:
Her victory in Texas was razor thin and came only after most Americans had gone to bed.
What is big about a razor-thin win? Or had they already picked out the headline before the polls even closed, so it would fit their ‘narrative’? Who edits these pieces anyway?
The real estate market has lots of good buys out there: CNN
It may be the best time to buy a house in more than four years.
Home prices have dropped so quickly and so far that valuations – the difference between what a home should cost and its actual price – are the lowest they’ve been since 2004, according to a report.
The Cleveland-based bank National City Corp. (NCC, Fortune 500), together with financial analysis firm Global Insight, revealed Tuesday that more than 88% of the 330 housing markets surveyed showed price declines and improved affordability during the last three months of 2007.
No mention made of the hit that people who bought a house in the last 5 years are going to take, or of the fact that the price of everything has gone up so much that people can’t afford to eat, drive to work, and buy and new house at the same time…

Reckless financial and economic policy during Bush regime leaves households holding an empty bag. The mortgage crisis will ultimately leave the middle class housewrecked and families with unbearable burden.
I was talking to someone last week who mentioned that in her lower income neighborhood they’ve begun having a problem with people stealing gas out of cars and finding half-empty purses discarded in their bushes (apparently after having been stolen and emptied of anything valuable).
(CBS News) – Senator Hillary Clinton pulled out victories in Ohio, Texas and Rhode Island tonight showing the same strengths she has throughout the electoral season among the Democratic Party’s base voters. She stopped an 11-state winning streak by her opponent, Senator Barack Obama, by trumping his inspirational advantage with her message of policy.
Clinton’s recent emphasis on portraying Obama as an inspired speaker of little substance, compared to her depiction of herself as a serious policy wonk, appears to have paid off tonight. While voters saw Obama as the more inspiring of the two, he gained little, if any, electoral advantage from it.
Rep. Rick Renzi pleaded not guilty Tuesday to federal charges including insurance fraud, extortion and money laundering.
The three-term Republican congressman from Arizona’s sprawling 1st District made his initial appearance in U.S. District Court, where he was arraigned on charges stemming from a 35-count indictment issued Feb. 21. Two co-defendants also were named in the indictment.
Renzi, 49, entered pleas of not guilty to a range of other charges including conspiracy to commit wire fraud, mail fraud and wire fraud.
The charges accuse Renzi of embezzling $400,000 from his family owned insurance agency to help pay for his first campaign and of using his office to promote a land deal that would financially benefit both himself and a former business associate. – linkage

The fact that she could still win ANYTHING I guess made it “big.” 😉

CHANGE IN 2008 STARTS WITH OBAMA

What policy are they talking about? That of attacking her Dem opponent by touting the experience of John McCain? 😉

Those Vermonters are so progressive. I love that they do this stuff.
Me too. If it wasn’t for the weather and lack of ocean access, I’d seriously consider moving there!
Renzi (R-AZ1)
Nice to see someone getting what he deserves.
