    Don’t know how much of a difference it makes but Sen. Cardin and Sen. Mikulski are from Maryland which is MD not MA.

    So glad Boxer signed the bill today. I saw her name wasn’t on there last night and was so mad.

    Mr. McCain still not on? Although I don’t support him politically it’s unfortunate that there must be one more reason I don’t agree with having him as president.
