Pelosi greeted with “Impeach” Bush and Cheney buttons
U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi says she’s drawing heat from fellow Democratic lawmakers as well as people across the nation for refusing to move to impeach President George W. Bush or Vice President Dick Cheney. “I go through airports, and people have buttons as if they knew I was coming,” Pelosi said with a smile, mimicking a protester pointing to an “Impeach” button on their chest. But the California Democrat said she is sticking to her position that trying to remove Bush or Cheney would be divisive, and she added, most likely unsuccessful.(close)Related info:

Prominent Democrats are upset with the aggressive role that Bill Clinton is playing in the 2008 campaign, a role they believe is inappropriate for a former president and the titular head of the Democratic Party. In recent weeks, Sen. Edward Kennedy and Rep. Rahm Emanuel, both currently neutral in the Democratic contest, have told their old friend heatedly on the phone that he needs to change his tone and stop attacking Sen. Barack Obama, according to two sources familiar with the conversations who asked for anonymity because of their sensitive nature. Clinton, Kennedy and Emanuel all declined to comment.

The Four Horsemen Claim the Monoline Insurers. Who’s Next?
The Four Horsemen Claim the Monoline Insurers. Who’s Next? This week on our way to Financial Armageddon it was the turn of the monoline insurers to face the scythe. For over two months AMBAC Financial and MBIA, the two biggest insurers of municipal and structured debt, have been peering into the grave, pretending that they could revive themselves with just a little more capital and a little more time. The ratings agencies – Moody’s and S&P and Fitch – danced along with them in this delusion, delaying any downgrade of the insurers from their current Aaa status, waiting to see if help would arrive. It never did.

an a-paul-ling outcome in nevada
mitt "don't call me baseball glove" romney handily won the nevada caucus today (in part, due to a large turn-out of mormons), but the amazing thing is that as of this writing, ron paul is in second place. w/95% of the precincts reporting, romney garnered 52%, ron paul 13% w/5,342 votes, and john mccain w/5,243. if our calculations are correct, this is the third primary/caucus in which ron paul has beat rudy 9iu11ani, losing to him only in new hampshire, and then only by less than 1%. in other news, hillary clinton won the democratic caucuses, 51% to obama's 45% addendum: cannablog rightfully points out that obama actually won more delegates ...

The Divisive Frauds in the Media
I am glad that Steve appended this to my post on the Nevada results - where I mentioned how the results are being used by the media to sow the seeds of division amongst Democrats: ...And yet all the media wants to spin is that a Clinton nomination will split the party and that African Americans will stay home at the disappointment of Obama not getting the top spot... ...Andrea Mitchell is still at it.

Breaking News: A Ron Paul surge in Nevada
Boy, oh, boy! Hidden behind all the hoopla, headlines and the Nevada caucus victories of Mitt Romney and Hillary Clinton is one little-noticed but stunning political development and number: Ron Paul, the one-time Libertarian candidate and 10-term Republican congressman from Texas, was in second place. That's right, Second Place. The 72-year-old ob-gyn who's always on the end of the line at GOP debates or barred altogether, was running ahead of John McCain, Fred Thompson, Rudy Giuliani, in fact, ahead of.... all other Republicans except Romney, who easily captured his second state in a week after Michigan.
