The democrats are still fighting for the nomination, while John McCain, the republican nominee, is saving his money for the battle between democrat and republican. Both Clinton and Obama are spending millions of dollars on their campaigns, which could be bad if John McCain not only has more money to spend, but will also be more prepared for the Democrat/Republican election, because the republicans declared their nominee first. Geraldine Ferraro, a Clinton adviser and supporter, has recently made a number of racist remarks about Obama, like "If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position. And if he was a woman (of any color) he would not be in this position He happens to be very lucky to be who he is." By this, she's implying that people are only voting for Obama because he's black. She also refuses to apologize for these comments, which is only making Hillary look worse, because she is working for Clinton. Obama's pastor, has also been making comments, "accusing the country of bringing on the sept. 11 attacks by spreading terrorism." Obama, however has denounced these remarks, and has called them "completely unacceptable and inexcusable." Clinton, as well has denounced Ferraro's statements, but Ferraro still won't apologize for her statements. Who will become the democrat nominee? What effect does the media have on how people vote?

Thanks for responding! I'm glad u like my blog! I'm, as u may have guessed, a HUGE fan of The Outsiders. My favorite character's Dally. Who's yours? Thanks again!
this is morgan just with a different username thingy
my favorite character is Johnny i cried so hard when he died even though i new he was going to die it was like the third time i read the book. I also really like Cherry and Randy they were trying so hard to get rid of that steryotype.
I liked Cherry and Randy, too. I also thought it was sad when Johnny died as well. When Dally was shot by the police and killed, I was so sad. I liked Dally because of how rebellious and dangerous he was. He also had a kind side. Ponyboy's my second favorite. Have u seen the movie? It's really good.
No i havn't seen the movie yet. But in my english class we are anylizing the book so its really exciting and were gonna watch the movie when were done. so yay

Thanks. I'll check it out. I like your other posts, also. I remember u telling me about Erica.
never read the outsiders =)sorry!
What a mess the Democrats are in!how ridiculous; they will lose if they continue like this. ONE nominee must simply be chosen, and the other must endorse the chosen one. Then we wouldn't have all this mudslinging!
I agree with what you said. I hope the democrats pick someone soon, or else John McCain will get ahead. I want Obama to win bad, but I just want the democrats to pick a nominee!
p.s. Sorry about all the Outsiders stuff. I was talking with an old friend, and..yeah. Sorry about the spoilers also. I recommend the book, though because It's really good, but you don't have to read it.
