Here's one of my favorite recent quotes: “I'm still having trouble expressing the depth of my anger about McCain's choice of a running mate.” Cecile Richards, President, Planned Parenthood Federation of America.
It's now less than 6 weeks from the election. I have a few more blogs I want to do on the candidates, related to the prolife issue.
