Who will emerge as the main challenge to Hillary Clinton in the Democratic primaries?

Obama and Edwards have both been falling in the polls over the past few months. With Clinton at 48, Obama 17, Edwards 13. But what;s worth noting is that Obama is down from 24 and Edwards is up from 10. That seems to suggest that at least some of Obama's support went to Edwards. And only four points behind Obama in national polls, if the trend continues, Edwards is poised to take second place from Obama. It will be a still very distant second place, but could boost him in Iowa, where he initially led and still shows signs of life.

Obama may now not only be in the difficult position of trying to catch up to Clinton, but mainitaining his second place lead as Edwards is fast approaching on him. If Edwards overtakes Obama, it could be a big story which boosts Edwards and could potentially eliminate Obama.

This article:

http://www.iht.com/articles/2005/10/19/news/feminism.php

excerpt:

"Feminist Initiative is in disarray with the loss of several founding members who abruptly departed over the radical direction the party was taking. At its recent founding congress, for example, instead of tackling a mainstream platform as planned, the party presented proposals to abolish marriage and create "gender-neutral" names."


...Contains some shocking (not to me) information about how the supposed "fringe" group of radicals, not only have worked side by side with their "sisters" for YEARS, but how they took over when they rose to power.

Feminism ain't what it used to be. Unfortunately, the US is headed for the same catastrophy.

Ask yourself how many policies these radicals had already put into place in Sweden before they were exposed. Ask yourself how many radicals here in the US are doing the same as we speak.

I have 3 kids and I work full-time, 60-70 hours a week,12 hours a day. I still manage to keep up with my hair, make-up and nails. I try to look decent atleast...

I have known that I had low to no self esteem for awhile now, but it has gotten worse. My husband left me about a month ago. When we were together my husband didnt show my alot of affection and sometimes wouldnt even want to have sex with me - and that made me feel unattractive and hideous. Even though he would say it wasn't about me, it felt that way. Now he is seeing a woman that is not the least bit attractive...from the craters in her face to her teeth all messed up. That has only made me feel worse.

All my friends tell me that I am beautiful, but thats what friends are supposed to tell you. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can get my self esteem up?

Are you choosing a "truth" and "reality" that jives with where you are spiritually, mentally, and emotionally.

Are you joyful and loving? Are you able to BE the change you believe in? Can you accept others or do you insist on "saving them".

...You can't remove the needle from another's eye until you remove the rafter from your own...

I am feeling really depressed at the moment. I have generally a good marriage and am told a lot that I am extremely attractive but I am consistently paranoid about my husband seeing other women and thinking they are attractive. He has never cheated on me and is extremely attentive and affectionate but I hate it when we are in the same room as an attractive woman as I always wonder that my husband is thinking she is good looking too. He says he feels he can't talk to another woman unless she is totally unattractive for fear of what I will be thinking. He says he isn't interested in anyone but me , however I know this doesn't mean that he doesn't think that other women are pretty and it drives me up the wall. I wish he didn't ever have to see other women, but I know this is childish and unrealistic. Please help

(a) What power must the winch motor provide when the car is moving at a constant speed? (b) What maximum power must the motor provide? (c) What total energy transfers out of the motor by work by the time the car moves off the end of the track, which is of lenght 1,250 m?

I have a 3.7 GPA and I have been looking at several colleges:

-Harvard University (my grandfather, great-grandfather, and uncle attended; my grandfather has donated thousands of dollars to the school for almost fourty years and served on admissions board and was one of the heads of his class-still has contacts.)
-Cornell University (my grandfather also attended Cornell and also donates money to them)
-Brown University (is a 3.7 too low?)
-Yale University (my GPA has to be too low)
-John Hopkins University
-University of Pennsylvania
-Notre Dame

I would want to attend a college in New England, but it is not necessary. Will I at least get into one of these colleges if I apply to all of them?

I realize I have asked this question several times before,

I'm really tempting the dragon, since the 2007 championship isn't yet in hand, but heck, live dangerously.

Yankees fen: the 2004 Red Sox took away your "1918" chant.

You sensibly moved on to "it'll be another 86 years" as your new Red Sox fan taunt. Well, that one's about to be scraped into the ashcan in a day or two.

So, what will be the new taunt or insult for Sox fen? I realize you still have "26" to thrust forth, but that really is soooo 20th century, and there should be something more forward-looking to best attempt intimidation and aggravating harassment.

What's it going to be? You're going to need it next April, so let's get cracking.

I was in a very abusive relationship that ended a little over 3yrs ago. I have since moved on w/my life. Bought a house, graduated from school and moved out of town. This guy still tries to contact me from time to time. Sending texts, calling from different phone #'s, leaving letters in my mail box at home (which is in a different state, thank God) and setting his sister up to contact me in various ways. My thing is he put me through sooo much hell and pain the nearly 6yrs we were together I don't want to hear from him at all! Everytime he tries to contact me it gets me upset. He called the other day at 4am saying he had the wrong # (yea right) I still have thoughts of what he has done to me and how it has affected me to this day. Just the other night I was bawling about something he was responsible for. I don't want to carry any of this baggage into a new relationship. So my thing is, contact is few and far between, maybe every 3 mths or so. Would you change your # if you were me?

I have a very old Good Housekeeping cookbook that includes a wartime supplement. The outside of the book has the same checkered pattern that better homes and gardens cookbook has. The problem is this book was vandalized during the process of moving (left in the car and someone broke in and tore it up for ha-ha's ) and I'm missing the first 60 pages. I would love to find a replacement copy but without the publishing information I'm stuck. There are some old ones out there but not quite this old. I'm guessing this is either early 20's or early 40's given the war supplement. If anyone out there has one like this intact could you give me the publishing info?
