Bullied by a woman? Man-up Senator!

Hey, politics is varsity football. This is just sad.

Obama spoke for about eight minutes before greeting guests individually. He vowed to fight Republican attacks on his character and background more fiercely than John Kerry did in his losing campaign four years ago.

"We're not going to be bullied, we're not going to be smeared, we're not going to be lied about," Obama said.

Bon Jovi and his wife, Dorothea, hosted more than 100 people for dinner on their mansion lawn by the Navesink River in Middletown, N.J. The price was $30,800 a person...

"If you are nominated for president in 2008 and your major opponents agree to forgo private funding in the general election campaign, will you participate in the presidential public financing system?" the Midwest Democracy Network asked in a questionnaire. Mr. Obama's answer was clear. "Yes," he wrote. "If I am the Democratic nominee, I will aggressively pursue an agreement with the Republican nominee to preserve a publicly financed general election."

One of the sad things about this election - Sen. Obama (D-IL) actually reminds me of some nice, wrong-minded Leftists I know and like. I actually like Obama in a detached unacquainted way -- but an Obama Presidency would be a disaster; simple because of his archaic Leftist ideas and friends he would bring with him. ... and if he thinks Gov.
