It's the 3rd of June. Another primary voting day. (And a local election voting day in California, too.)

So, whutchathink? Will the "other" presidential Democratic candidate extend her farewell tonight and clear the path for Obama?

I'm surprised you didn't post an article! (Or maybe you did ~ and since it's not on the Home Featured tab, I haven't seen it yet. I'll go look.)

Hello, Dave,
Thanks for the connection invite. Yes, we have common interests. However, you are much more knowledgeable than I.
(P.S. I can only guess that I've received this invitation because I made you giggle....my comment on your Bear Stearns article.) I calls 'em as I sees 'em.)
