A Japanese venture company, Genepax, has unveiled a car on that runs on water. All it requires is a litre of water. In fact, any kind of water to be exact, whether its river, rain, sea water, or even Japanese tea. Its an electric powered car that runs solely on hydrogen dioxide.
"The main characteristic of this car is that no external input is needed. The car will continue to run as long as you have a bottle of water inside for you to add from time to time," said Kiyoshi Hirasawa, Chief Executive Officer of Genepax, after he proudly announced the company's invention.
Once water is poured into the water tank at the back of the car, the newly invented energy generator takes out the hydrogen from the water, releases electrons and finally generates electrical power.
"We highly recommend our system since it does not require you to build up an infrastructure to recharge your batteries, which is usually the case for most electric cars," said Hirasawa, who is hoping to advertise the car in time for the upcoming G8 Summit in Hokkaido, Japan.

We cannot wait for Hillary Clinton to squeeze every last ounce of publicity out ogf this primary by her childish waiting game. Any candidate who cannot be forthright enough to conceed when they have lost is no longer worth the consideration of this Party. The New York delegation is trying to get her to face reality but she does not seem able to make the connection between what she wants and what is. Again a case of What "is" means I guess. We have 5 months and a very organized political apparatus with which to register, educate and convince voters that Americas Future is at stake. Let Hillary and her Die hards sit out the race fuming about the loss. We need to get more involved jump in and help formulate the future. Let's leave Hillary to history and make a new Future free from back biting, irresponsible comments, unfounded rumors and down right stupid rehetoric. "When People Lead, Leaders Will Follow"
Who has the time to recount all the negative things she said about Obama. Can't be elected, not experienced enough, "He should be ashamed," bad judgement etc. etc. I'm glad for what she said today but........... Where exactly is the truth where she is concerned. Look for yourself, her comments are on the record. You don't have to answer publicly but in your head and heart you know what I'm saying has a credible foundation. I have said over and over and it's recorded on this blog that, even though I don't like her I will work and vote for her if she is the candidate, Hillary supporters on the other hand, well you all know what we have all read here. Your comments won't change that fact. Go to my home page and look through my posts. Then go to Jenniforhillary, sandi, etc. So if we are to move forward, let's move forward in truth not in a haze of Team Spirit. I realize that most Democrates want healing. There are very hurt feelings and down right anger and hate on both sides. History will record the truth of this years elections no matter what we believe or want history to say.
What would Hillary Do?
Before you make rash declarations,
Before you cut off your nose to spite your face,
Before you kick and scream and hold your breath till you turn RED.
Think, What Would Hillary Do?
Hillary would not leave the Democratic Party,
She would not chase other democrats away,
Hillary would reach out to hug us,
So we could win for America yet another day.

That meaning is... For Fifty States. So ADD THE MISSING STATES- DNC! PEOPLE VOTED...AND WILL BE COUNTED. ALL 50 STATES = UNITED.
McCain this week voted against a bill that would require equal pay for women (Obama and Clinton voted for it). McCain stated that women didn't need the bill because the reason they weren't receiving equal pay was because they needed better education and training to do so. http://www.wtop.com/?nid=213&sid=1392352 Read More »
I have a question for everyone out there. With the voter irregularities (which were caused by republican controlled election apparatus) that occurred in FL & OH in 2000 and do we really want to really require wins in either state in order to win the White House? Read More »

Ok Scottie Beam me up!
I wanna get off!

IX here are the talking points you requested. I hope they answer your question with respect to Obama:
1. He has charisma and is a good orator.
2. He appeals to independents and republicans.
3. He has details on the important topics and his details make sense.
4. He is a uniter and tries to find common ground with his people to solve problems.
5. He gives people hope that we can undo the harm Bush has done to this country and change the way we operate within the world the way it is now.
6. He is smart, flexible, and adaptable. When something goes wrong, he learns from the mistake and adapts what he is doing so that the mistake won't happen again.
7. He is willing to listen to advice, but is also smart enough to make his own decisions based on that advice.
8. He hasn't always been rich and so he knows what it's like to work hard for your money and then have to pick and choose where you spend it.
9. He looks to the future rather than to the past.
10. He has an ability to phrase ideas that were considered liberal by many Republicans in the past in ways that sound like common sense and appeal to all Americans.

Although I am an Obama supporter, I do not believe that the super delegates need to endorse Clinton immediately just because Obama is now ahead. I am not upset that Clinton chose to stay in the race. She has every right to stay in the race. The problem I have is what she is doing while staying in the race.
If you care about this country then you shouldn't want McCain or any Republican to win in November, and you shouldn't do anything that would make it easier for the Republican to win the general election. Over the past month, Clinton has been making sure that the Republicans win the election in November (even if she is the nominee.) She's done this by consistently saying that McCain is more qualified than Obama, by creating commercials and sound bites that McCain can use against her or Obama, by trying to "steal" pledged delegates, etc. Read More »

Clinton's main goal here it to win the nomination and then go on to the general election and win the Presidency. The question I have, is that if fighting for the nomination at this point severely damages her own ability to win the Presidency, how is it in Clinton's best interest to keep fighting? Read More »
The huge picture here is that the attack on Obama's church is a huge threat to our separation of church and state. Read More »
I realize now what we need to do to get to party unity. The supporters of the candidate who wins the nomination need to acknowledge that the supporters of the losing candidate are not thrilled at the outcome and may not be excited to vote for the nominee. We need to thank the supporters of the losing candidate for keeping the good of the country first and foremost in their mind by coming out to vote against McCain. They don't have to be excited or feel thrilled at the idea of our nominee as President, and we need to give them permission to have those feelings.
I think if everyone in the party would acknowledge this fact about the supporters of the candidate they oppose, we would maybe be able to get on to the step of healing the party for the general election.

I understand why the Clinton supporters are so angry at many of us who are Obama supporters. We dared to say that we didn't want Hillary to run and that we were going to vote for anyone but Hillary in the primary. (There were 40% of us in MI alone.) Read More »
Thanks to Evan for sharing the following with me.
http://www.electoral-vote.com/
I have made several 'projections' recently which have largely been ignored. I will post no more after this even though I may share opinion on other topics but this is intended as my final blog post before the election in November. In the event that my blogs are deleted, I will still be recieving messages from blog groups unless my request for removal from email list is finally responded to, in spite of the fact that previous requests and phone calls have been largely ignored.
This webiste has two general election maps, McCain/Clinton and McCain/Obama. Accordingly McCain beats Obama, Clinton beats McCain.
According to the projections, McCain beats Obama in electoral votes 296-218. At present, this perhaps is a realistic scenario. There are several key states Obama will have to swing key votes. Michigan, Texas and Florida will not be among them.
According to the McCain/Clinton match-up, I dont think Clinton will take Florida which means McCain needs 3 points for victory.
Take your pick between,
Nevada
Oregon
New Mexico
Colorado
Minnesota
Iowa
Missouri
Michigan
I have stated before there is a North/South divide in this country and that Clinton would not win a single state below the Mason-Dixon line in the general election. The possible exception is New Mexico, but not Florida.
Unless Clinton would be able to swing Tennessee which has 11 electoral votes. But she would have to virtually break ties and win in several other states.
12 swing states in total. How many of these did Clinton win in the primaries, or is projected to win? Take a closer look. Your future depends on it.
Obama wins:
Guam
North Carolina
Indiana
Oregon
Montana
South Dakota
Clinton wins:
Penn.
West Virginia
Kentucky
Puerto Rico
Final Delegate Count w/supers
Obama 1906
Clinton 1790
+
- 8% of supers
Spread: Obama +116
Remaining supers decide.
Clinton need 71% to win.
Will Supers over-ride will of Popular voters?

I wanted to post a theoretical question. This is not a slam on Clinton - it is a legitimate question that I think the party should think about.
I do not believe that it was necessary for Clinton to drop out when it began to appear that the math was against her and that she would never catch up in pledged delegates. But I do believe that it was necessary for Clinton to run a positive campaign, focusing on all of the things that made her a great candidate.
A primary is NOT a General Election. At the end of the primary process you have to reunite the party. Also, at the end of the process you have to run a General Election Campaign. If you go negative on your opponent and it forces your opponent to go negative on you, each candidate winds up being harmed when the General Election rolls around.
My question is this, do you think it is necessary for candidates in the Primary process to remain positive and not run fear ads, not tear down fellow democratic candidates, not endorse republican candidates over the democratic candidates, etc.
If think a candidate should not go negative, then how do we deal with a candidate who does? Should we give them the nomination? Should the super delegates flex their muscles and not give that candidate the nomination if they are in a position to do that?
What does party loyalty mean if it does not apply to candidates and how they run their campaigns against fellow democrats in primaries?

This is the second time in several days that McCain has shown his ignorance of any religion but Christianity. First, he doesn't know the difference between Shiite and Sunni in the Islam faith. Now he doesn't even know what Purim is.
How can anyone support him. He's got no idea about the different religions in this country that aren't Christianity.
