Edwards Wanted VP Slot???

Nov 17, 2009 - WASHINGTON — Democrat John Edwards tried to cut a secret deal with both Barack Obama and perhaps Hillary Clinton during last year's presidential primaries, offering his endorsement in exchange for the vice presidential nomination, according to a new book by Obama's campaign manager. Edwards' camp made the offer shortly before the South Carolina primary, when Obama and Clinton had split early contests and Edwards apparently believed he had “maximum leverage” to help deliver Southern white votes to whoever would give him the number two spot on the ticket, according to David Plouffe in his book, "The Audacity to Win." Plouffe said that Obama ruled out any deals. - 8 Comments

Turkey, Algeria, Egypt, Libya, all know how to deal with Muslim fanatics in the Military

Nov 13, 2009 - Analyzing Major Nidal Hassan Melik Kaylan, Man under excess stress or a murderous jihadi? Some commentators place Major Nidal Hassan's outrage at Fort Hood in the continuum of nonreligious psychotic mass killings like those at Columbine and Virginia Tech. Others liken it to Islamist terror outrages such as suicide and car bombings. - 7 Comments

What do I do about recent breakup?

Nov 10, 2009 - So about a month and a half ago, my boyfriend of 2 1/2 years and I broke up.  He is afraid of the next step to our commitment, which I think he thinks is either engagement or marriage.  I have not pressured him explicitly, but being a girl, I'm sure I have subconsciously.  His reasoning was that he says he needs time to be single and selfish and that he has issues to figure out, but still really cares about me.  He says it has nothing to do with me and that if he wanted to be in a relationship right now he would be in one with me.  We have been in contact since we broke up and when we do talk or see each other, it is like nothing happened and is totally normal between us.  I feel like he is my best friend so it is so hard not to stay in contact with him because even when I don't instigate the conversation, he does.  I know a lot of people will probably say don't talk to him, but I don't know if that is the solution.  He tells me that the upcoming holidays, Valentine's Day, and his birthday will be really hard for him (he is 30 and I am 27 and this all seemed to stem from his fear of turning 30), but that he feels like he needs these next 6 months to clear his head.  He said that time will tell what will happen with us, and I do believe that, I just hate waiting :) Also, his twin brother, who has been dating his girlfriend for almost 4 years has what seems to be the same issues with commitment.  It is weird because they come from a great family with great commitment role models.  Their mom and dad have been married for 40 years and their older brother has been married for 10 years.  I just don't know what to do with regards to this.  I am trying not to hold myself back and to go and meet other people to see what is out there, but I really had thought that we were going to spend our lives together.  Does anyone recommend couple's counseling?  Has anyone been in a similar situation?  I just need some guidance.  Thanks! - 9 Comments
