"Romney served on the board of Marriott International, which generated tens of millions of dollars in revenue through in-room pornography services at its hotels" ... so much for American Family Values. I think its best that the GOP candidates leave the "family values" facade alone. It always seems to come back and bite them in the behind .... when will they learn?

Having lived in Tennessee when the repugnants did that trick to Harold Ford, I am getting quite a chuckle at Obama's team jumping to the front - what is good for the goose is even better and funnier for the gander. And when it is true - well that is even better! The republican party - the party that thinks family values means how many of them you make with different spouses!

These campaign girl videos are hilarious. I've got to say that Clinton has the best one, though I'm not sure her campaign is pleased by the notion of a lesbian crush, lol.

Interesting Thompson is starting ad buys before announcing his candidacy. Maybe its the Beatles strategy. The Beatles wouldn't come to the U.S. until they had a number one song here. Whether or not that helped created Beatlemania, who knows. But there sure was a lot of excitement about that first flight over. Thompson could be holding out to see if he can get on top of the polls, and then announce. Hmmm. That could work.

Olivia/ somehow I don't believe romney's make-up will cause the stir edwards did, further showing the medias contempt for edwards, if you add romney's $300 make-up to his $450 hair-cut, $300 + $450 = $750 for looks in the romney camp, but it won't make the headlines in the corporate owned press, unbiased my ass

The Beatles Stratagy??? LOL. I can just imagine at the end if he wins and he stands up on the stage, and says "I want to say thanks on behalf of the group and myself, it looks like we passed the audition".

I can also imagine a press conference:

Q: Will you talk to us
A: I need money first

Q: What do you think of Hillary?
A: Did a heck of a job climbing Everest

Q: What do you think of John?
A: I love him, Specially his songs

Q: What do you think of Rudy?
A: If you want something bad enough, you'll end up
at Notre Dame.

How come with all the activity and interest in the on-line community and especially You Tube for RON PAUL, the ONLY one running that really has the "Straight Talk Express" there is no major Media Coverage of his candidacy. What are they afraid of? That he can't pull in the headlines for doing stupid things? Me I'm a member of the ABC campaign, Anybody But Clinton.

Finally a way for bloggers to use Romney's good looks against him! um... but honestly, hasn't every presidential candidate since the Nixon-Kennedy debate used make up during Televised debates? I wonder how much Rudy spent on his drag makeup? I guess Giuliani girl likes em freaky!

MK,MO--My remark about Romney's make-up was out of sarcasm because I'm sick of hearing about Edwards' haircuts when the candidates have been making far more substantive news than that having to do with their grooming habits.

I agree with you about the "corporate owned press. And their bias has been showing. For example, NBC Nightly News, which last week found the time to air a relatively-trivial story about the flap over what Hillary and Edwards said when they'd thought the mic was off, has aired nothing at all about the major news of Edwards' poverty tour, in which he visited 8 states that, because none are early primary states, are part of a Forgotten Zone. It's as if Brian Williams was totally clueless that such substantive news was going on. And by thus ignoring the news of Edwards' stop in New Orleans, he is disenfranchising her poor who are struggling to rebuild and bring their city back.

The latest story Nightly covered out of New Orleans was an upbeat piece about urban pioneers from elsewhere who have been relocating in New Orleans and bringing their entrepreneurial skills and providing jobs. While this is good news, unfortunately very little of this growth has trickled down to small businesspeople, mostly African-American, such as Leah Chase, who per a CNN report has been unable to reopen her longtime Creole restaurant, Dooky Chase, due to insurance issues, trouble finding people to work there, and other things. It is unconscionable that NBC Nightly in recent weeks seems to have forgotten the plight of New Orleans' poor such as the man mentioned in a previous post who's been living in a FEMA trailer without electricity since 2005.

In contrast to Nightly, CNN's Anderson Cooper not only anchored "360" from New Orleans, that newscast had extensive coverage out of New Orleans of Edwards' visit and of the slow recovery, crime, and the other problems still lingering in that beleaguered city. If NBC Nightly's producers allow their newspeople to watch other news channels, Brian Williams would do well to watch "Anderson Cooper 360", see how Cooper has not forgotten New Orleans and her long-suffering poor, and hopefully follow his example.

Olivia--what did you think about USA TODAY story Friday, where the Mexicans are being blamed for lower wages in New Orleans. I'm shocked Ray Nagin hasn't turned into Sam Houston and tried to run those folks out of town. But if he did that, who would rebuild the city? Certainly not Ray's people!

Well, Romney is just practicing good old fashioned LDS morals. It's ok to sell liquor and coffee if you don't partake of the substances yourself. Why not porno too?

I haven't taken sides yet in the Republican Presidential nominee marathon. OKAY, I am decidely against Giuliani, but I haven't really seen enough yet to pick my favorite. But when the WaPo compares Rudy to Trick Dick, it should be
