News Buzz: Hillary Clinton's Next Hurdles, Polygamy Sect's Kids, and more
And she wins. Hillary Clinton pulled off a campaign-saving victory last night in Pennsylvania, beating rival Barack Obama by about 10 points. "Some counted me out and said to drop out," she told supporters in Philadelphia. "But the American people don't quit. And they deserve a president who doesn't quit, either." Now the never-ending primary season will travel to North Carolina, where Obama is favored, and Indiana, where the race is tight between the two Democrats.
In accordance with a court order signed Tuesday, Texas officials have begun moving children belonging to a controversial polygamy sect into temporary foster care facilities. The children—more than 400 in total—have been in state custody for more than two weeks, since a judge authorized authorities to remove them from the compound following reports of sexual and physical abuse of underage girls there. Because of confusion about the children's names and their family relationships, the court is now conducting DNA tests on both the children and adult sect members to try to determine paternity.
High fuel prices are proving to be financially harmful for some of the nation's top air carriers. Delta Air Lines reported a first-quarter $6.39 billion loss this morning, attributing it in significant part to record fuel costs, which it said rose $585 million in the past year. Northwest Airlines posted a $4.1 billion loss in the same period.

puerto rico
i am a native Puerto Rican and its a big possibility obama could win Puerto Rico.
obama is endorsed by almost all majors politicians including the gov.
REMEMBER people stop assuming that Hillary won in big the united states especially with Mexicans will translate with us puerto ricons here on our island. ALSO you guys should also know that Latinos come in different ethnicities. puerto ricans are a melting pot of cultures and people of taino which is indian, black and white and were a lot less unbias here then the united states.
but for right now hillary might have the advantage soley cause of her last name and that is about it.
Repartions Check
Repartions Check???????? Is that why some 90% blacks have been voting for Obama...they think if he is elected they will get a "Repartions Check"???? If that is what Obama has led you to believe you are in for a great big surprise. If Obama were elected there would still not be any "Repartions Check" at all..........although that would explain why some 90% of blacks have been voting for him ......but he has out and out lied to you if he made such a claim or even if he said it was a maybe. Now concern yourself with why would Hillary help any black community after you all have allowed Obama to play the race card against people like Bill Clinton and Ms. Ferraro for simply stating facts......Obama will never win and if he loses NC (he may) then he will not even get to be Hillary's VP..........so after the way balcks have behaved in this primary again I ask Why would Hillary do anything for black communities again??? Start voting with your heads instead of looking for another welfare check.
Hillary Clinton
My husband, daughter, son and I all voted for Hillary, we want good times for all Americans to come back after these horrible inflated times. My family and I want the oil and food surplus's back, we want gas back to $1.29, we want 50 pounds of flour that costs over $30 dollars back down to $12.50 per 50 pounds etc. etc. Obama is an unknown with witty words and they are just well written speech's. My family and I survived 8 good years with the Clintons and definately welcome 4 more years of the same. John McCain everyone forgets was in that Keating 5 scandal tied in with 4 other Senator's and Neal Bush. Everyone have amnesia? McSame McCain is a fitting words for him and good lord, we cannot take much more of inflated costs.
