Hillary's Move on Mukasey
So now that Barack Obama will vote against Michael Mukasey's nomination for Attorney General--joining his fellow Democratic candidate Chris Dodd, who helped set this chain of events in motion two days ago--here are a couple of things to keep an eye on:
With the Democrats set to debate on national television tonight, does Hillary Clinton run the risk of looking out of place – especially to the party base, which is incensed by Mukasey and which is already bitter with her over her Iran vote a few weeks ago – if she doesn't make a similar move?
And if all of the 2008 Democratic end up opposing Mukasey, will it trickle down to enough senators to place the nomination in real jeopardy?

My most frustrating days as Deputy Campaign Manager for the US Senate race last year, (For the GOP & Conservative Party candidate) was with the media.
It never ceases to amaze me that Hillary Clinton is/was NEVER held accountable for her FAILED workings here in Western New York State.
In her first term running for United States Senate, Clinton promised those suffering in Western New York ... Economic Development, More Jobs and to Repopulate this Region of NY.
Clinton was to do so by "Promoting" Western New York State to American Business! Clinton Promised Western New York 250,000 NEW jobs by the end of her first term (Promising to Promote WNY to American Business Corporations)....
End result.....Is by the time Clinton was running for her second term, Western New York LOST another 25,000 Jobs.
(Clinton as of last year, should have now been held accountable for failing in the creation of 275,000 New jobs)
(FYI...Western New York State is considered Cities of Rochester, Buffalo Regions, sometimes Syracuse is put into this league, although it is located in Central NY....Syracuse and "West of" are considered WNY)
In each and every Newspaper interview that I attended with WNY Editorial Boards, those that sat on the board always brought that question up to us.....
Those on the WNY newspaper editorial boards always had "Numb Faces" as we discussed this matter. I was always looking for their answers/spins to that very question. (They had no answers for Clinton's lies & failures) Those on the editorial boards in WNY NEVER defended Clinton on her failings in jobs creation.
End result....Is that Buffalo's (NY's 2nd Largest City) population has been cut in half. Erie County and the City of Buffalo are still held captive by a "Financial Control Board" .......25 to 40,000 Homes are abandoned by people who have left WNY because they can't sell their homes to buyers.
My question....Is there something wrong with this picture? Will any of the New York Media ever advise the "National Media" to bring this question to attention to the American voters?
Clinton has used this State and might soon be leaving this State. Clinton has delivered nothing in regard to help to those who live in WNY.
Jim Kelly - Conservative Campaigns
Funny. Buffalo News doesn't allow staff into their endorsement interviews. I wonder what Mr. Kelly was doing on the trail last year besides showing up at different events and making obscene remarks to female Republican party operatives. No matter what, Mr. Kelly's advice was so valuable that the Conservative Party has now dropped to Row E. And until Mr. Kelly, George Marlin and their ilk realize that this is 2007 and not 1984, the Conservative Party is on their way to the ash heap of history. Sad but true.
