Post Part Deux (In case you missed it, I had so much material, I split the post in two):
Hillary Clinton is currently in India, after a visit to Iraq with 4 other senators. She was there when the bombings occured, but is, of course, fine. She has criticized Bush's handling of Iraq, and she apparently, made a friend over there: Republican Senator John McCain, who said she would make a good President (read about it in the New York Daily News. I think it's pretty awesome that Hillary's got some support from the GOP, even if McCain does say that he'll back the Republican candidate in 2008. We know where your heart truly is, Senator. =)
Also in the news has been Hillary's statement that it's important for pro-choice activists to recognize that abortion is a last resort, saying that abortion represents "a sad, even tragic choice to many young women." While she is still committed to protecting abortion rights, Hillary said that abortion should be "safe, legal, and rare." These statements make it clear Hillary won't be put in a box.
On that topic, I really, really recommend this fascinating Houston Chronicle Op-editorial about how Democrats are reconnecting to religion and how it may be very good for the party. As the article points out, Democrats have sort of stopped talking about religion since Martin Luther King Jr. died, and I think it's definitely hurt us. Anyhow, HRC has been bringing up her beliefs (the article specifically discusses the abortion topic above).

I am facing off against a fellow Democrat who is completely obsessed with Evan Bayh. Despite all the news I can get on Bayh showing how his candidacy would be bad for Democrats, I still cannot change his mind. He is an open-minded fellow, but if anyone out there had any rock-hard evidence to make Evan Bayh not a good candidate (his second choice is Hillary), then I would love for you to send it to www.yehafnivek@yahoo.com
