Friendly Candidate Conversation

The back and forth between both the Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton campaigns have truly reached high levels of intensity. The bitter rivalry seems endless and does not bode well for the Democratic Party. Many Democrats are worried, including myself, that the mudslinging will cause a very bitter divide going into the general election.

Yet, perhaps things are not as bad as they seem. Earlier today, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton were spotted in the Senate together having what looked like a friendly conversation. Both happily greeted each other on the Senate floor while casting a vote. Then, Obama guided Clinton back to her chair, where both candidates sat and talked for several minutes with one another.

What was said during the conversation remains a mystery, but the two seemed to be getting along just fine. Check out the video here.

New Legislature By Dems Could Shift Iraq Plans Starting Now

According to the New York Times, Democrats in the Senate are pushing for new legislature which would require that soldiers spend as much time at home as they did overseas before they are redeployed. This strategy, proposed by Senator Jim Webb of Virgina, would force President Bush to begin bringing troops home from Iraq earlier than planned, and would reduce the stress and fatigue soldiers face. Democrats say they are close to having enough Republican support for this proposal to pass. For more info, see the full article.
