I have to tell you, 90% of the time, I completely agree with you. Then you bring up something which just makes you look bad. Leave the cougar out of this, please. We both know how you (all) came about that phrase.

I doubt it. Those who have criticized me for mentioning that I have biracial relatives should realize that, to me, it's his ideology, not his race, which gives me nightmares.

We know. You would have liked Obama but for those comments, right?

See above.

And Pittsburgh's crime rate seems to outpace the rest of the U.S. (http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/07156/791606-53.stm) which is interesting. Also, this TV station is doing a special on crime in Pittsburgh (http://newpittsburghcourieronline.co...nce/Page1.html) because it's on the rise and the city is on pace to have their highest murder rate ever (http://ydr.inyork.com/ci_10666736) which is also sort of interesting given the very low crime.

This I didn't know. Thank you for correcting me.

A crazy College Republican desperate for attention and wanting to help the campaign by making it more about race and less about issues? If Ms. Todd was so familiar with the area, why was she Twittering away instead of not being on the phone so she could be aware of her surroundings?

Shame on her for lying.

And I agree with you completely here - except that she didn't know that area well. She had been here a week. Pittsburgh streets are not exactly easy to figure out. I can't find my way around Bloomfield!

Refined Diva, that link doesn't mention a retraction. NOT that I think this is on the up and up any more! Here it is.

And those of you who are reading this thread today for the first time should realize that the tone of the media LAST NIGHT, when it was first posted, was very, very different.
