Now, there is an interesting connection! I wonder if we can now claim that Obama had to buy off Biden to get his support. Given the harsh words that Biden had used earlier in the campaign.

Must be some "You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours!" thing waiting in the wings ... wonder when that shoe will drop.

Exactly!

Which is one of the reasons I like Palin as an outsider. She has shown herself to not want to easily play the political games.

The only thing Obama is known for is his earmarks. He has not accomplished anything else while in the Senate.

Make it TEEN Pregnancy. Appreantly, they like to serve up TEEN SEX and babies in the liberal media.
