Who do you think will get a bigger percentage of votes today 1/8/08?
Hillary Clinton in the Hew Hampshire Primary,
or Mark McGwire on the Baseball hall of fame ballot?
Hillary got about 30% in Iowa and McGwire got about 25% of the vote last year.

Points: 13,906, Level: 76 | Level up: 77%, 144 Points needed | | Anybody ever seen a photo of Senator Barack Obama, Governor Bill Richardson, Senator Hillary Clinton and Ruth Harkin standing during the national anthem?
Barack Hussein Obama's photo (that's his real name)......the article said he refused to not only put his hand on his heart during the pledge of allegiance, but refused to say the pledge. Do we think that he would put his hand on the Bible if he is ever inaugurated?

It appears to have been during The National Anthem that the photo was taken not the pledge of allegiance.

There's a couple of videos of him reciting the Pledge in the link provided. Urban Legends Reference Pages: Barack Obama and the National Anthem

We'll see what happens. As the late-Don Ho sang "Ain't No Big Thing", it probably is not a big thing.
