Lured by an offer of interviews with the Democratic presidential candidate, Brian Williams, Charlie Gibson and Katie Couric will make the overseas trek, meaning that the NBC, ABC and CBS evening newscasts will originate from stops along the route and undoubtedly give it big play. washingtonpost.com http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2046977/posts#comment Thu, 17 Jul 2008 16:50:10 GMT http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2045854/posts If you think that Muslims burning the Danish Mohammed Cartoons don't have a sense of humor, you ain't seen nothin' yet.

After eight years of incompetence, neglect and failure, we need change. Our country fortunately does not need change, because we avoided making this mistake in 2000, even if Al Gore and his supporters really do believe he is the President of the United States.

The excitement was less about Obama's foreign policies—which remain vague on many fronts—than a sense that the candidacy of a black American with relatives in Africa and childhood friends in Asia marks a historic moment. Michael Cox, a professor of international relations at the London School of Economics, said Obama's win "has sent out a lot of positive signals around the world."

A Politico analysis of the delegate numbers after Tuesday’s primaries in North Carolina and Indiana shows Obama can concede to Clinton’s position on Michigan and Florida and still claim victory — potentially forestalling the Democratic nightmare scenario of a floor fight at the Denver convention.

But according to exit polls, voters don’t share that view. In Indiana, Democratic primary voters were equally split over who was most likely to beat McCain, with both drawing 48 percent.
