Oh please, makes no difference. Rep. Lewis did no good for Hillary in GA anyway. The state of a bunch of dog killers will go for McCain in the general election. Its just another example of a black supporting a black despite his inexperience and lack of foreign policy skills. Such a good lesson to teach young black children.

There is still 2 1/2 weeks until Texas and Ohio which will make or break either canddiate. And if Obama supports continue to be worse than Ron Paul supporters on Digg and other internet forums, he will lose his advantage.

This misleading blog piece has been proliferated throughout the internet. First of all, it compares apples to oranges. It attempts to understate Clinton's accomplishments by citing the number of bills she authored and passed into law. And then it attempts to over-inflate Obama's record by citing the total number of bills he sponsored (BOTH in state and federal congress).If you look up the information for yourself (<a class="user" href="http://thomas.loc.gov/bss/110search.html)">http://thomas.loc.gov/bss/110search.html)</a> you can compare apples to apples:- In the 109th Congress Obama sponsored 152 bills (26 were signed into law) and co-sponsored 427 (12 were signed into law). Clinton sponsored 177 (21 were signed into law) and co-sponsored 720 (19 were signed into law).- In the 110th Congress Obama sponsored 113 (0 signed into law) and co-sponsored 375 (3 signed into law). Clinton sponsored 150 (0 signed into law) and co-sponsored 477 (4 signed into law).- Grand Total Authored - Clinton 327 sponsored / 1197 co-sponsored vs. Obama 265 sponsored / 802 co-sponsored- Grand Total Passed – Clinton 44 vs. Obama 41THE FACT - During the time that Obama and Clinton were in Senate together, Clinton authored 23% more bills and co-sponsored 49% more bills.
