I am the youngest of six children. Hard-working blue-collar dad, stay-at-home mom. My four sisters and I all have masters-level degrees; my brother owns his own business. We live the American dream. And all of us - save one - is a loud and proud Democrat.

The "save one" is a hot shot partner at Big Law Firm in NYC. Single white female, no kids. Smart as a whip. She was a Democrat once upon a time - oh, the good ol' days of family unity - but 9-11 had a strange impact on her. She became a single-issue voter: stopping terrorists. But over the last seven years, she's slowly bought into the Repubs' party line. It's been sad and terrible to watch, as she gives us e-mail lectures on Republican doctrine. Actually, they should hire her; she's a gifted writer, and can actually make all that crap sound almost reasonable.

I'm not offering up her comment as "here's what the average person is thinking." My sister is anything but average - she'll actually benefit from the McCain tax cuts.

Wonderful news from the Heartland tonight. Our long nightmare is over. Phill Kline, who was defeated in his bid for reelection as the Kansas Attorney General in 2006 and then appointed as Johnson County District Attorney (the position held by his opponent who switched from R to D to run against him, and who subsequently resigned as AG following a sex scandal), has lost his primary bid for reelection as DA. Kline has spent six years on a witch hunt digging through abortion clinic medical records looking for some grounds to prosecute doctors. Grand juries and judges have foiled his plan at every turn, and now the people have returned their verdict!

The U.S. Senate is expected to vote soon - possibly today - on the New GI Bill. Go to http://www.gibill2008.org/... to see if your senators are on board.

According to www.demconwatch.blogspot.com, 307 of the 794 total superdelegates (not including MI and FL) have not endorsed a candidate. Clinton's only chance to win the nomination is to convince a significant number of those superdelegates to overturn the will of the people. Our only way to shut down her campaign is to get a significant number of those uncommitted superdelegates off the fence as soon as possible.
