The Washington Post goes back and examines the attempt Obama and McCain made to work together on ethics reform. "[W]hat began as a promising collaboration between two men bent on burnishing their reformist credentials collapsed after barely a week.</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>CommunityServer 2.0 (Build: 60608.1)</generator><item><title>Looking ahead: General elex preview?</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/03/31/843918.aspx#843935</link><pubDate>Mon, 31 Mar 2008 13:30:33 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:843935</guid><dc:creator>sozzi, mamaroneck, ny</dc:creator><description>It seems to me like Ed Redell is strong-arming or even black mailing the Mayor of Allentown. Is he threatening of not giving Allentown any future funds, if the Mayor endorses Obama. This matter should be investigated by the Media, because the mayor had previously stated, he wasn't goiing to endorse any candidate until they visited his city. Is Bill Clinton the candidate? NO.</description></item><item><title>Looking ahead: General elex preview?</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/03/31/843918.aspx#843961</link><pubDate>Mon, 31 Mar 2008 13:40:33 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:843961</guid><dc:creator>Lisa, New Britain, CT  CT for Obama</dc:creator><description>I'll be curious to see how this whole McCain/Obama thing plays out (right now I don't know much about it). &amp;nbsp;Sounds like this won't be the last we're hearing about it.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;It would be wonderful to get all those SD endorsements from North Carolina. &amp;nbsp;What a show of unity. &amp;nbsp;We have that in CT (if you don't count Joe Lieberman who is off doing his whole thing). &amp;nbsp;All our congressional Dems are for Obama. &amp;nbsp;In fact we have only one superdelegate for Clinton so far. &amp;nbsp;I am so proud of my State!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;It is good to see the economic discussions in PA. &amp;nbsp;My town is similar to a lot of working class towns in PA (although perhaps more diverse) and many of their issues are my issues.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Go Obama 08</description></item><item><title>Looking ahead: General elex preview?</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/03/31/843918.aspx#843975</link><pubDate>Mon, 31 Mar 2008 13:45:04 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:843975</guid><dc:creator>Jessica  </dc:creator><description>McSame(aka Bush Jr. jr.) &amp;nbsp;and the GOP are toast in the General.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;NO MORE WAR!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;NO MORE BUSH!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Obama is kicking HRC's butt and she is wayyyyyyyyy smarter and more conniving than McSame.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Obama will wipe the floor with this guy. &amp;nbsp;</description></item><item><title>Looking ahead: General elex preview?</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/03/31/843918.aspx#844002</link><pubDate>Mon, 31 Mar 2008 13:54:18 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:844002</guid><dc:creator>Tim, Reading, PA</dc:creator><description>Ed Rendell IS really pushing the mayors to back Clinton. &amp;nbsp;As govener he carries a lot of weight here. &amp;nbsp;My mayor here in Reading is one of three that has come out for Obama in Pennsylvania. &amp;nbsp;What you have to realize is that a large part of Pennsylvania still works the old party boss way. &amp;nbsp;The you rub my back, I'll rub your's mentality. &amp;nbsp;It's very much a machine and while the voters don't think the same way its difficult to break politicans out of that machine thought process</description></item><item><title>Looking ahead: General elex preview?</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/03/31/843918.aspx#844033</link><pubDate>Mon, 31 Mar 2008 14:03:52 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:844033</guid><dc:creator>twocanpete</dc:creator><description>&lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://twocanpete.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://twocanpete.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br&gt;Of course they can get by with this they understand that the American sheople have totally forgotten that Demorcrats were complicit in sending our jobs to Mexico and China.</description></item><item><title>Looking ahead: General elex preview?</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/03/31/843918.aspx#844091</link><pubDate>Mon, 31 Mar 2008 14:18:47 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:844091</guid><dc:creator>IG, Haverford, PA</dc:creator><description>Good for you, Reading!

I wish the people of PA would WAKE UP to the &amp;quot;old party&amp;quot; way of politics and judge the candidates on their own merits. Hillary has lied about Bosnia and NAFTA and won't be releasing her tax returns until right before the primary......doesn't this sound an alarm to the good people of PA? And waht about her tax returns prior to this year? Why haven't those been made available? She hiding something, people, and shouldn't THAT be a big red flashing point?
