I don't think so. When it comes to gubernatorial races I personally vote for whose vision I think best dovetails with the needs of the state and how they work with the state legislators, not what is happening on the national stage. Sounds like there was a weak field and dissatisfaction with the Democratic candidates to begin with. Sometimes it's just a "grass is greener/vote the incumbents out" mentality. (I say this as a Democrat.)

No, as your most recent installment with David Sirota suggests, this is a manifestation of our dissatisfaction with the status-quo. The need for change is imminent. However, without profound leadership, politics will remain the same.

The Danes are hard at work cracking one of the great challenges of wind power: the fact that the wind blows when it darn well pleases.

Like the Danes, we too have to take a more proactive role in future energy policy. Like many on tonight's program, during my 1st career I used trains, planes, bus and bicycle as primary means of transportation. Just before returning to Delaware in 02 I hadn't owned a car for 12 years, (too costly to operate and park) in high cost of living areas to justify ownership). A lot of learning will have to happen though before most of the public begins to accept Denmark's path to a greener world.

I like the Danes cant believe that some people commute like almost an hour to work in bike. And the 180% tax when they buy a car my fellow Americans will go bananas if such a measure will be implemented.

While I understand the point in drawing attention to political agenda's in unique ways, let's just say I'm glad that it wasn't my taxpayer dollars paying for this meeting.

Josh, I often wonder when people talk about every penny spent. How much do you think the rental of these suits cost? This thing probably could be done for thousands of dollars, and resulted in global publicity.

I am thrifty but some stuff is worth a small gamble. Public financing of campaigns is another. I dislike politicians as much as most people, but don't see how honest, real people can run for office if they have to beg for money.

If you stop and think the vaccine was rushed and no one reall can tel you the side effects or long term effects. And listen to what the CDC and goverment are not saying. Why are they pushing so hard.

The available H1N1 vaccines are the same as all of the previous influenza vaccines that we have been using for years, just updated to reflect the current strain. The so-called side-effects and long-term effects eluded to by Mr. Buis are no different. What is different, is that I've seen young people die as a result of this infection (I'm an ... Read Moreinfectious disease physician). I got the vaccine the first day it was available, and will vaccinate my kids when available. That's how safe I think it is. Mr. Quilantan, what is in the vaccine that you are worried about?
