Seems Mr. Dodd, along with other Democratic Senators, got some sweet heart loan deals from their lenders for some subprime mortgages with nice terms mere mortals just cannot get. This would be a huge story with the mortgage mess the way it is, but of course these are Democrats, so its getting sweeped under the rug.</description></item><item><title>Veepstakes: A new name on the list</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/06/25/1166056.aspx#1166073</link><pubDate>Wed, 25 Jun 2008 13:18:43 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1166073</guid><dc:creator>Tina, ar</dc:creator><description>Bobby Jindal has some problems. &amp;nbsp;He believes in teaching creationism in school and has also told the story of how he helped with a exorcisim in college. &amp;nbsp;That may take him out of the play. &amp;nbsp;I'm not sure how many American's would agree with either of those issues. &amp;nbsp;I for one consider it kinda nutty.</description></item><item><title>Veepstakes: A new name on the list</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/06/25/1166056.aspx#1166074</link><pubDate>Wed, 25 Jun 2008 13:19:14 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1166074</guid><dc:creator>Tired Dem. OKC</dc:creator><description>Is Pelosi just making the announcement for the Obama campaign or what?????&lt;br&gt;This woman is making herself a little too self-important if she is adding names to a list that isn't even hers.&lt;br&gt;I realize being House speaker makes her a significant player in the Democratic Party, but the VP choice should be Sen. Obamas, NOT hers.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This is exactly what the American people are tired of. Partisan politics, insider deals, &amp;quot;good old boy&amp;quot; horsetrading, ect....&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This repulses me almost as much as Sen. Obama asking me to help retire Sen. Clintons irresponsible campaign debt.&lt;br&gt;If you don't have the money... don't spend it. I wish I could do like the politicians and spend on whatever I want and worry about the debt later. &lt;br&gt;In OUR world (average working people) it doesn't work that way.&lt;br&gt;Sorry I got off topic.</description></item><item><title>Veepstakes: A new name on the list</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/06/25/1166056.aspx#1166076</link><pubDate>Wed, 25 Jun 2008 13:19:43 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1166076</guid><dc:creator>Holly Woods, LA CA</dc:creator><description>There are just so many good VP names to choose from, can Barack pick more then one?</description></item><item><title>Veepstakes: A new name on the list</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/06/25/1166056.aspx#1166144</link><pubDate>Wed, 25 Jun 2008 13:42:20 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1166144</guid><dc:creator>Beverly in Chicago</dc:creator><description>Chris Cillizza, I respect your opinon; however, I don't think Hillary Clinton can fit the missing pieces.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;What foreign policy experince does her resume strengths have besides Bosnia and Ireland?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;She cannot be trusted. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; </description></item><item><title>Veepstakes: A new name on the list</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/06/25/1166056.aspx#1166164</link><pubDate>Wed, 25 Jun 2008 13:46:24 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1166164</guid><dc:creator>Chris, Dorr, MI</dc:creator><description>no story here&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Get Joe S. off the air.
