My Blog Has Moved

If you've arrived here from some other place, please visit my NEW blog here:

Common Sense Quotient

You'll find a new layout, new content, updated national and international news and - more important - news about the Democratic nomination process. Once a nominee has been determined, we'll switch gears and publish content relevant to the 2008 General Election.

My site is a proud Pro-Hillary Clinton zone. But I do my best to present news, analysis and information in a "softer" voice. However, don't be surprised to find hard-edged commentary about this highly-charged race.

Come on over and join us. We aren't very big (so far), but I expect that to change as we build the blog and add content!

Pennsylvania Poll: Clinton Clobbers McCain

According to RASMUSSEN:


Hillary does far better against John McCain in Pennsylvania:

CLINTON - 50%

McCain - 39%

[snip]

"... she leads McCain in Pennsylvania by eleven percentage points, 50% to 39%. The former First Lady is viewed favorably by 52% of voters in the state. A separate national survey found that the number of Democrats who want Clinton to drop out of the race has declined over the last ten days. Data like this helps explain why Barack Obama is now entering the most perilous phase of his campaign. ..."

Obama is statistically tied with McCain (MOE = +/- 3 points):

Obama - 45%; McCain - 43%

Last Brown v. Board plaintiff dies

The end of another era - hopefully one we won't have to revisit:

TOPEKA, Kan. - The last surviving plaintiff in Topeka's Brown v. Board of Education case, which led to the historic 1954 Supreme Court ruling outlawing segregation in public schools, has died at 88.

Zelma Henderson died Tuesday in Topeka, six weeks after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.

In 1950, Henderson signed onto the litigation on behalf of her children challenging Topeka's segregated schools. In all, 13 black parents in Topeka, including the Rev. Oliver Brown, took part in the federal case.

The plaintiffs lost in U.S. District Court, but the case was appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court, along with similar cases from Virginia, South Carolina and Delaware.

The high court's unanimous ruling overturning school segregation came on May 17, 1954.
