What you're hearing about in the US news lately is the presidential caucus/primary system. Each state and party does things a little differently, so there are lots of exceptions, but best if I explain this backwards: 3. Each political party selects someone who will be their candidate in the presidential election in Nov 2008. They typically have a national convention where selected delegates are sent to vote for who they want. 2. Prior to that, the political party in each of the 50 states plus territories runs a caucus or primary to determine who their delegates will vote for at the national convention. 1. Those who want to be president typically need to do a lot of campaigning in each state prior to its caucus or primary election in order to win as many delegates as they can. Once each party has their nominee selected, then later in the year, they will campaign against each other in order to win the general election. That's where the Electoral College jumps in, and I have far too little mental stamina to explain that to anyone, even if I understood it myself. Search dz.com for "electoral college" and read up. I wish you the best of luck maintaining your sanity. This is actually a pretty good article: Primaries, Caucuses Ohne Liebe sind wir nichts

Only one soldier was given the option of testifying against the others, and he got 90 years, parole eligible in 20. You don't do that unless the others are more culpable and will get harsher sentences. Stuff like this happens in our justice system every day, whether or not iraqi's are involved. Oh, so close. If you'd only gotten to the third sentence in the article, and put an ounce of thought into it, you might have seen that your point about a double standard in this case was weak.

I wouldn't be so sure about that. Guardian story Ohne Liebe sind wir nichts

Oh, if only Mr 278 didn't always seem to throw the worst passes as the most inopportune times. What could have been... >Giants: 3 You have far too much confidence in Mr Tynes... Ohne Liebe sind wir nichts

Well, kinda like saying "Ford rocks, don't it?" when you replace the gas in your Taurus with 15gal of Hawaiian Punch. MS cannot control or trap for every hardware glitch or crappy library in the world. Yes, I just defended MS... strange feeling... Ohne Liebe sind wir nichts

Wings deployed...check. Scanning target area for plate glass windows... Ohne Liebe sind wir nichts

I'll bet they're simply absurd responses to an absurd question. Nothing more. Ohne Liebe sind wir nichts

Why does it seem there's more to that story than you're letting on? a. Didn't do anything wrong? Turn down the NJP. It works. b. Did something wrong? Then thank your lucky stars that the UCMJ provides NJP as a quicker and less costly way to pay for your misconduct. Ohne Liebe sind wir nichts

Monkey's off Eli's back, and the Cowboys are beatable. Now, to figure out how to stop T.O. Ohne Liebe sind wir nichts

22 guys moving on every play, most of them colliding. That's a stretch to say there's no action. And still for me, watching NFL is at least as much about strategy as it is action. I think most would agree with that. I quickly got into the pattern of tivoing it and starting to watch 10am games at 11 or so. Zip right over all the erectile disfunction ads. I'll bet. Rule book's hundreds of pages long, dozens of significant rules change year to year. I've been a big fan since I was little, and almost every game there's a ref decision made where I say "huh, i didn't know that". But, I still dig it. Ohne Liebe sind wir nichts

The Best of Wilson Phillips. Yes, all 10 songs. Each equally as embarrassing as the next. Ohne Liebe sind wir nichts

Yeah, sure. 5 super bowls, never lost. Playoffs almost every year in the 80s and 90s. Fielded the best QB and WR of all time. You're breakin my heart... Ohne Liebe sind wir nichts

American football, especially during Dec/Jan, college bowls, NFL playoffs. Nothing against rugby. I'm just indifferent to it; don't understand it. Ohne Liebe sind wir nichts

Seriously? Yes.....getting laid was far more important than science class! So... getting laid was far more important to you in 7th grade than it was to you in college? Ohne Liebe sind wir nichts

Methinks there's more smoke to this story than fire. >N.J. to abolish the death penalty NJ executed no one since Kennedy was prez. And for a state of 8 million people, having only 8 on death row tells me they probably hardly ever push for that sentence anyway. >in the pipeline in Colorado, Montana, and New Mexico. ...which over the past 30 years combined for 5 executions total. >Is this the beginning of the end of the death penalty? Hardly. Maybe if Virginia, Florida, Louisiana, or Georgia passed a similar law, then... Ohne Liebe sind wir nichts

Yes, those are the three types. Why do I believe this? Because my 7th grade New Jersey Education Association union member told me so. I wrote the same back to her on a piece of paper at the end of the marking period, and she put a green check mark next to it and a gold star sticker at the top. Ohne Liebe sind wir nichts

In the Mirror Universe, each of our snowflakes has an identical twin. Except of course some of them sport a goatee. Ohne Liebe sind wir nichts

Omg, is that really a myth? Who knew? It's the speed of the spinning wheels that provides the lift, not the silly wings... Ohne Liebe sind wir nichts

Thanks a lot everyone! Lots of great advice there. Yall rock. Ohne Liebe sind wir nichts

Then count me in as "anybody". If an officer's life is threatened and needs defending, I'd say they can opt for the 'lethal' weapon rather than this 'less than lethal' one you say they 'should' use. Ohne Liebe sind wir nichts

Get "Run Lola Run". Action, drama, humor, clever story line makes you think. It's simple and short, but one of the best movies ever I think. Plus, watching Franka Potente run around Berlin for an hour or so, not so bad. Ohne Liebe sind wir nichts

HEY! What's the rule these days? I'm hearing a lot of different answers and figured I'd make a poll. Thanks all. Ohne Liebe sind wir nichts

I do believe it. I also agree others shouldn't put words into your mouth, so don't mine. Of course we need to protect our sovereignty. If not, then we don't have a country. All I said is that fences and employer prosecutions alone won't stop what has naturally gone on for millennia. Doesn't mean we shouldn't use those tools too. I'm just saying that until the mexican economy improves drastically, there will always be folks coming north no matter what else we do. Calmly analyzing the problem and solving it logically is going to work much better than getting all emotionally worked up about it. I don't mean you necessarily, because I actually agree with much of what you've said here. I also didn't say it's up to Americans to fix Mexico. Ohne Liebe sind wir nichts
