A group that wants to make extreme poverty and disease a main issue in the campaign has opened offices in New Hampshire. ONE Vote ’08 was started by U2’s Bono and receives funding from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

Hillary Clinton and Rudy Giuliani are the least religious candidates, according to a new Time poll per the New York Post. Romney and Obama got the highest scores. (Does the Clinton campaign begin working harder to demonstrate how religious Clinton actually is?)

The Los Angeles Times’ political guru, Z. Barabak, delves into labor's role (particularly the culinary union) in the Nevada caucus.

Ouch, lol. If Domenico Montanaro is representative of anything, Clinton's superficiality is close to becoming a punchline. Difficult to recover from that.

Just what we do not need is more religious fanatics in our government.
It has been the worst reign of terror and damage to our country in the name of religion.
Hypocrits, they scare the bejezzus outa me.

Yes , I am going to rethink Hillary because she is TOO religious.
She was raised in a Rebug home with an abusive father.
She is also a devout baptist.
YOU know prayer meetings and all that, still have em in the Bush Godless house.

No wonder I stopped going to Las Vegas. All that money I had to pay in tips to keep my glass full at the slots should have kept my waitress in the upper middle class LOL. As wages go up, the casinos have to raise prices to make money, so I know all about supply and demand. But also, judging from the article, Vegas may have run the mob out of town for the time being, but judging from the head of the union's statements, not much as changed as far as power goes. Hillary only got religion after the Monica affair. The religious fanatics are trying to destroy America, only we know the religion that is trying to do that.

I didn't realize we are going to elect a religious leader. I thought we were going to elect a president. Jimmy Carter (like him or not) is/was the most religious president we've had that I can remember. He did know what "separation of church and state" meant. He upheld the rule of law over his personal religious beliefs. For that I give him credit. Building walls with a candidates religious beliefs hurts religion far more than it helps it.
