Spring Break
GOP touts McCain's support among Clinton backers

Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., a key Clinton supporter this spring, discounted reports of lingering rifts.
"There may be a few outliers, but ... overall there is going to be tremendous unity and Hillary is going to be leading the charge," Schumer said. "I've talked to her privately."
The GOP effort isn't likely to have much impact on Clinton delegates. Several of them said they were unhappy McCain was using their "family fight" against Obama, particularly in an ad released Sunday about Clinton being passed over as the vice presidential nominee.
"It makes me sad that McCain is using it against us," said Pam Durham, a Clinton delegate from Fort Worth, Texas, who has not yet embraced Obama. "It may unite our party against the outsider. ... What he said was the truth, but it may unite us against him."
Daniel Kagan, a Clinton delegate from Colorado, said he plans to vote for Obama in the general election, but he won't be volunteering for the campaign.
"John McCain is trying to make political hay out of an internal dispute," Kagan said.
The GOP Monday released an ad featuring Bartoshevich, who tells Democrats "It's OK, really!" to vote for McCain.
The McCain campaign reached out to Bartoshevich soon after Clinton suspended her campaign. The candidate himself clinched her support in a late July meeting in Racine.

Here is a site by Hillary supporters for John McCain
Obama made a big mistake not vetting her or considering her for VP.

Obama's going to destroy this country. He voted for the FISA Amendment which negated the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution. George Bush destroyed the rest of the Constitution with the Patriot Act and the Military Commissions Act. (Continued…)

just listed the study done by Harvard on Fox News. It details the Liberal Bias in the media except Fox News. It was really quite simple.
From what I understand they simply taped all the news and watched it to see how many stories and comments were pro or con Liberal and pro or con Conservative. (Continued…)
