11:30 AM, May 29 near Tysons Corner, VA paid $60 + change to fill up my '06 Acura sedan. Like Mr. Leonard I've never paid that much. Luckily, I do not have to drive very much - places where I need to go to shop, the doctor, kids' school, activities all v. close. And to get downtown we use the Metro (about 2 mi from home). BUT this is out of control - over $4/gallon for gas - how can this go on. Not everyone has the choices I do - live close to necessities and have access to good public transportation. So, sure people will cut back on optional driving but how much of an impact will that have. No, this can't go on - what is the solution????

We are all in big trouble if the bitterness towards Obama does not end once the primary season ends. But given the vicious verbal abuse I, a female (white) Obama supporter, have been subjected to by other women I am not optimistic. (Although talking to women in other parts of the country I think I am lucky - support for Obama in No. Va. is pretty strong even among women.) I can't even begin to understand the animosity towards Obama and the cult-like devotion to Clinton. Have her supporters been paying attention to her - what she says, how her campaign has been run, her pandering, etc. A neighbor of mine has a bumper sitcker that reads "If you're not outraged, you haven't been paying attention." It is meant to apply to the Bush admin but it is equally applicable to the tunnel vision of Clinton supporters. Open your eyes and stop projecting your own stuff onto Clinton. A question - if you consider yourself a progressive women how on earth can you even think of voting for John McCain or abstaining (which amounts to a vote for McCain)? Have you heard what he's said about who he'd about to the Supreme Court? (Someone who'd overturn Roe v. Wade.) Like is health care plan? Oh, right, he DOESN't have one. Want to continue the war indefinitely, invade Iran? Want to continue to see our civil rights erode? Basically, if you loved the Bush administration, he's your man. To be so narrow-minded when so much is at stake - it boggles the mind.

"[Obama's supporters]implication that voting for Clinton was spoiling what ought to be a coronation."

The truth is the polar opposite of what you state. Clinton entered this race with a sense of entitlement, a sense that she deserved the nomination, that she was the heir apparent. No, it is Clinton and her supporters who believe that Obama and his supporters spoiled what was supposed to be her coronation.

I believe that all these posters who have written about the hatefulness, spitefulness and just sheer evil of Obama and his supporters - as if Hillary should be be nominated for sainthood (I suppose her miracle would be winning the nomination and then the genl election or maybe time traveling backwards and actually reading the NIE & voting against the war)- are either covert Republican operatives being directed by Karl Rose or they are suffering from acid flashbacks. Because they certainly seem totally divorced from reality.

...I love it!!

What is Sun's agenda with Widmore? Is he the 2d person she blames for Jin's death (the 1st is her father)? Is she playing Widmore to get revenge (and maybe helping Ben get revenge for the death of his daughter - Ben has promised to kill Widmore's daughter - Desmond's true love)? Or does she want to team up with Widmore to get revenge on Ben (maybe he's the 2d person she blames)?

Why is Locke back in L.A.? What happened on the island after he took over as leader and protector of the Others and the island? When he left the island does he become wheelchair bound again? Is that why he (supposedly) committed suicide? Jeremy Bentham - what's that about? (Wasn't he the one who wanted his body preserved and kept somewhere at Oxford? Was he a contemporary of John Locke - I can't remember? Does this even have any importance to the show?)

If it is true that the island can heal and resurrect why can't new life be created? Why do women who get pregnant on the island die?

Sawyer? Juliet? The people on the Zodiac?

And so many more puzzles!! And yes I am a hopeless Lost geek..but it so much fun!

I agree with those protesters who traveled to D.C. for the RBC meeting - the system is broken and needs to be fixed. But the time to protest was before punishment for breaking the rules was inflicted. Or when all the candidates for the Democratic nomination agreed to the sanctions on Michigan and Florida. Another point - was there no discussion between the state Democratic committees and the DNC? Why did the DNC not intervene - did they not know ahead of time that Michigan and Florida were planning to move up their primaries?

It seems wrong to retroactively change the rules just because you don't like the results. This is like a team that is losing the NCAA basketball championship game asking that the the rule that allowed the 3-point shot at the college level be rescinded because the other team has the best college 3-point shooter in the NCAA.

Having said all this, in the future there must be more transparency in the rules process - ordinary voters should have access to information about what the state and national party organizations are doing and how it may affect their rights as voters.
