Let’s not get into religious theology. We have our hands full already with politics. Besides, we all adhere to different beliefs. I also believe in karma or as it’s stated in the bible: “you reap what you sow.” I also support someone who prefers not to be a hypocrite.

That said, we don’t have to dwell on the particulars and kindness in the face of adversity is a virtue.

Senator Kennedy and his family have my prayers.

So sad about Edward Kennedy–even more tragedy for that family. I don’t think the timing has anything to do with politics; just related to when the tests were completed and they had some answers.

I don’t think his condition will affect the Democratic nom process one way or the other. If he makes it to the convention, he’ll vote for Obama (if possible, that is…chemo/radiotherapy can be debilitating). If not, there will be one less vote for Obama (which won’t make that much difference). The only other thing might be that Kennedy won’t be able to actively campaign for Obama over the next few months.

I have seen posts by those in the field that he may have as short as 7 months

Let’s not forget, either, that Ted, Bill and Hillary have been very close for years . . . despite his betrayal of them (and us). I know they are hurting, too, about his diagnosis.

Don’t know who your addressing my comment was meant in response to the silly karma one up the thread…I’m Catholic and he’s got a lot of Catholics already prayin for him….When I spoke of penance we do this in response to the sacrament of confession…In this sort of health crisis his priest or any priest would have been dispatched immediately…um…a catholic thing…I’m just sayin’

Yes it will be OK if she doesn’t win Oregon, but I would like nothing more than to send Mr. Hopey-Changey’s campaigning into a tailspin over an expected win that he loses. It would be the icing on the cake for me.:)

Everyone in Oregon is mailed a ballot. They can fill it out and return it whenever they feel like it (by Primary Day) via the mail OR they can wait until Primary Day and drop them off at a polling place. I think that’s what I heard this morning.

Since this is an open thread, I just had to post this here! Did you know that WOMEN are 56.6% of registered Democrats in OREGON???? 56.6%!!!!! I would think, that little statistic would make the Oregon Primary difficult for Mr. Hopey-Changey to win! He may do well in the Urban areas, but the rest of the state is pretty rural, working class, blue collar aren't they? If Hillary wins the majority of the female vote, the bitter working class vote, the typical white working class/blue collar vote, the gun owners clinging to their guns vote, and the seniors....she COULD WIN OREGON!
