Wead said another consideration for the wedding's location is "they know that they don't own the White House, that they can't go back.

So how do the candidates do on paying women staffers?  I suppose that some here will not be surprised, nor was I, that Obama's women staffers are the worst off in the offices of all three.  See this analysis that says:

[F]emale employees did better working on the Senate staffs of John McCain and Hillary Clinton during the latest public reporting period than they did working for Barack Obama, [as]  determined through an analysis of payroll data published by the Secretary of the Senate.

McCain and Clinton also employed more female than male staffers, while Obama employed more males than females. . . .  McCain and Clinton had more female than male staffers making six-figure salaries, while Obama had more male than female staffers making six-figure salaries. . . .

UPDATE: The Obama campaign says that despite Obama saying on May 20 he may make the claim that his team has the most runs and "we've won," he was not talking about winning the nomination, but rather winning an "important metric" -- pledged delegates.

"The Bushes are very private. It's a time of war; it's at a time of economic struggle. ... And this president has high negatives right now. ... It's much more of a low-key event," Wead said.

They're private?  Hilarious.

Phew!  And even the blue-blooded Henry Hager might have a problem if he were thinking of making a WH run at some time, because the Old Dominion is showing nasty tendencies of going -- Democratic!  A Dem Governor, a Dem Senator, and a very good chance that there will be a second Dem Senator in November.

He was just married himself in January or so, and IIRC, had a child on the way. He was killed just a week or two ago.

I'm sorry, but I've had enough of the children of the priviledged powerful, who don't have to serve, but whose fathers send young men and women to their deaths.  Young men and women whose parents danced with their sons and daughters at their weddings.

1. "The AMA calls for further adequate and well-controlled studies of marijuana and related cannabinoids in patients who have serious conditions for which preclinical, anecdotal, or controlled evidence suggests possible efficacy and the application of such results to the understanding and treatment of disease.

2. The AMA recommends that marijuana be retained in Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act pending the outcome of such studies.

I don't smoke pot but I also don't think its the biggest moral sin that a portion of the population does.  However, I do think advocates for legalization are no more impartial than those who make the more extravagant claims about marijuana.  The medical consensus is that
1 - Pot causes some cognitive problems but the extent of these problems are sometimes exaggerated and the data on long term effects is mixed.
2 - Smoking marijuana is a carcinogenic activity of greater intensity than smoking a like amount of tobacco.  Few people smoke the equivalent of a "pack a day" tobacco smoker in marijuana however.  
3 - There is no clearly accepted medical use of marijuana in the US or internationally outside of end of life care.  There is some data suggesting it may have some application in narrow cases outside of these situations but further study is needed.
