If Obama wanted to do the responsible thing as opposed to the egotistical thing, he would cease campaigning and allow Biden to become the nominee. Destroying America and setting the Democratic Party and social progress back 6 decades is in no way responsible.

Leeman Brothers employees gave Obama almost 10 million dollars so far.

  Sure.  But you could you break it down for me between individuals in lower and middle management (presumably thousands) vs. decision makers at the top (say, about 50)?

well, i guess mcccain finds more competent  women.
 
 "Only one of Obama's five best-paid Senate staffers is a woman. Of McCain's five best-paid Senate staffers, three are women.
 
 Of Obama's top 20 salaried Senate staffers, seven are women. Of McCain's top 20 salaried Senate staffers, 13 are women."

thank you for saving me the trouble of looking this up, this was just as i suspected.... the reason why mccain pays his women more than his men: he has more higher-ranking women on his staff.  this is indeed a good thing, but it proves NOTHING about mccain's stance on pay equity - which was the implication of your deceitful "which senator is a-b-c" quiz.

Why don't you guys start talking about what the candidates will actually do?  Then you could disagree on policy, and perhaps reach some consensus on what directions y'all think the country should head in.
 
 Just a thought.

Because the majority of this board are Obamaphiles and Obama's consistent track record once winning an election is (a) accomplishing nothing of substance for the electorate and (b) immediately campaigning for a more powerful office.

how does it prove nothing?  whatever mccain's "stance," he has hired and placed more women at higher levels in his staff than either obama or biden.  so, you can either talk about pay equity or you can do something about it.  you can either talk about putting women in to higher ranking positions, or you can put women into higher ranking positions.  which one would you choose?

can you kindly explain why Senator Clinton represents the state of New York and not say the ones where she lived before becoming First Lady such as Illinois or Arkansas.  Or how about one those sexy flyover states or a red state?

speaking of the mortgage crisis. . .ladies and gentlemen, obama advisor austan goolsbee!

[vansmack]

I love how your response to Phil Gramm was "well more UBS employees give to Obama then McCain" and then you point to Goolsbee, who was wrong in his analysis without ever once acknowledging that McCain's economic advisor drafted this de-regulation legislation that is ABSOLUTLEY responsible for this mess.  Just so I get ahead of your next delfection "sure Phil Gramm wrote it, but Clinton should have vetoed it!" - or how about the 54 Republican Senators shouldn't have let him get away with it!
 
 So, answer me how Phil Gramm is not responsible for this legislation.
 
 And to answer the question about what the candidates will do about it, I suspect that McCain will make Phil Gramm his Secretary of the Treasury.  Sleep well tonight....
