ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (AP) -- Assailants in Pakistan launched two separate attacks Friday on vehicles carrying fuel for NATO and American forces in Afghanistan, highlighting the vulnerability of the U.S.-led mission a day after Pakistan closed a major border crossing.
...
Around 80 percent of the fuel, spare parts, clothing and other non-lethal supplies for foreign forces in landlocked Afghanistan travels through Pakistan after arriving in the southern Arabian sea port of Karachi. The alliance has other supply routes to Afghanistan, but the Pakistani ones are the cheapest and most convenient.

The Ave Maria Law graduate, state official and activist with the Westboro Baptist gang claimed that the openly gay student leader was advocating for a "homosexual agenda" and felt that the student was satanic.   Shirvell created a personal blog "Chris Armstrong Watch" in which he focused intently  on the  handsome student, stalked him, following his friends so as to lead him to Armstrong, took pictures of Armstrong's house, and called the office in DC where was doing a summer internship.

The University of Michigan safety department banned Shirvell from the entire Ann Arbor campus.  Shirvell's boss, Mike Cox, Attorney General, defended his colleague's right to free speech and noted without disapproval, that Shirvell's activities were on his own time.  

From Ari Berman:

OFA operates under the assumption that the president's policy is always the best possible one. But what about when it isn't? What are Obama's supporters to do then? They are told to sell the policy, but they can't influence the shaping of the product. "There's a certain hubris among the people around Obama in the White House that they were above the fray and didn't have to pay attention to the base," says Iowa Senator Tom Harkin. "Certainly a president has to govern from the middle, but you've got to reassure your base that what they did and how hard they worked was worth something." Much of the tension can be traced back to White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel, a consummate Beltway insider, who replaced David Plouffe, the Obama inner circle's past conduit to the grassroots, as the central figure in Obama's orbit.

...

OOFA now feels more like any other advocacy organization and less like a movement or Obama's groundbreaking campaign. It turns out that grassroots organizing and Washington sausage-making blend about as well as vodka and milk. "It's no coincidence that some of us who are organizers didn't go into the White House," says former Obama field director Temo Figueroa. "I would've been fired in the first f*cking month." OFA was meant to blend the two worlds, but it often floats in a political no man's land, tethered to a Washington establishment yet unable to change it. Critics like Ganz suspect that is by design. The White House doesn't want its activists to disrupt the backroom deals its aides cut with lobbyists and legislators, nor does it want them putting too much pressure on obstructionist Democrats, lest it alienate key swing votes in Congress. When MoveOn.org ran ads targeting conservative Democrats who were blocking healthcare reform, Rahm Emanuel memorably called the ads "f*cking retarded." And, indeed, the White House has expended considerable political capital denouncing the "professional left" and defending apostate Democrats like Blanche Lincoln in Arkansas from insurgent primary challengers, which has further undermined Obama's reformist brand.

I'm pretty sure the sequnce of events was this, please correct me if I'm wrong:

At the press conference Diaz said she saw the letter(s) in Whitman's garbage (7 years ago).

In response to that, Whitman said she/they never saw any such letter(s).

In response to THAT Allred produced the letter with Whitman's husband's writing on it.

Is that pretty much accurate?

Obama is favored over Hillary by large margins, even among women and liberal dems.  The only demographic that shows Hillary beating Obama is the conservative dems.
