U.S Senator Bill Nelson (D) Fla., spoke about a number of issues facing Floridians today. At his office in West palm Beach, Senator Nelson discussed a possible solution for the democratic delegate issue – and voiced concern that if something wasn’t done soon to reach a compromise there could be “blood on the floor” in Denver during this year’s Democratic Convention.

Senator Nelson also believes there’s still a chance to help people feeling the pinch from the current housing crisis. Low-interest loans – even federal bond issues to help states encourage banks to negotiate with non-speculators.

As hurricane season approaches, Senator Nelson says FEMA has come a long way but still lacks a plan to help Floridians displaced by a storm with short and long-term housing alternatives. He says he’s been pushing hard for FEMA to deliver him their plan, but that with less than two months to go before the start of another storm season, Nelson says they’ve yet to put that plan on his desk.

And this week, the senator says he will head a committee on Capitol Hill looking into a dark and disturbing allegation being made in Iraq. Women, working for private U.S, contractors, he says, have been drugged and raped – only to find their allegations swept under the rug. Nelson say he expects there will be dramatic testimony from victims this week, and he wants those responsible for these attacks brought to justice.

Did anyone see Glenn Beck Monday night? He pretty much implied that Obama would beat McCain no matter who McCain picked for V.P. I always thought Beck was usually spot on with things but here I don't agree.

If Nelson and Clinton steal the win from Obama, they’ll be blood on the street of American cities.

Yeah. Democrat blood.

"Please God, let Hillary steal the nomination."

Yes, that would qualify under the term bloodbath.

Guys, we shouldn't be cheering this.

What is shaping up could result in the biggest social upheaval since the 1960’s. Nothing good can happen because of it.

Why? One lib “doing” another? If it were a Conservative holding that thing, it would be a hate crime, and have been deleted.
