'Clinton Country' celebrates St. Patrick's Day By Mike Wereschagin and Salena Zito TRIBUNE-REVIEW Sunday, March 16, 2008 A warm -- and loud -- reception awaited Sen. Hillary Clinton along the St. Patrick's Day parade route Downtown. Flanked by Gov. Ed Rendell, Mayor Luke Ravenstahl and Allegheny County Chief Executive Dan Onorato, Clinton walked the mile-long route Saturday morning as Pittsburghers showered her with affection. Clinton is heavily favored to win Western Pennsylvania in the April 22 Democratic primary, in which she will square off with rival Sen. Barack Obama. It was Clinton's second day campaigning in the city, after making...

In the state, it's politics unusual for Clinton, Obama By Mike Wereschagin TRIBUNE-REVIEW Sunday, March 16, 2008 Patrons pack the bar at Rookie's Restaurant and Sports Pub in Allentown, but their conversations steer clear of the political battle being waged for their votes. Bartender Nick Goldsmith keeps an ear on what is said inside this Lehigh County joint. If one of the candidates' names comes up, he knows he might have to jump in and shut down an argument before it becomes a fight. Again. "I don't usually discourage it until it gets out of hand," says Goldsmith, 29. That's...

Statement by RNC Chairman Marc Racicot on the First Day of Fiscal-Year 2003 WASHINGTON - Marc Racicot, Chairman of the Republican National Committee (RNC), today issued the following statement: "For the first time in a quarter century the United States Senate has failed to pass a budget. Every American knows that formulation of a budget brings about financial discipline and stability. The Democrat's inability or unwillingness to engage in a process that Republicans and Democrats alike have used for decades to identify spending priorities, control excessive Washington spending and reduce deficits is demonstrative evidence of a lack of competence and...

More slander On the basis of the logic on the New York Times editorial page, maybe Bill Clinton did kill Vince Foster. Evidently President Bush is responsible for Enron because he is from Texas and – it is insinuatingly noted – so is Enron! If the left's physical proximity argument constitutes evidence, I take it back: There are boatloads of evidence that Clinton killed Foster. Indeed, the entire Republican Party is evidently responsible for various rich liberal "Friends of Bill" who now stand accused of insider trading, such as Martha Stewart and ImClone chief Sam Waksal. Republicans are responsible on...
