PHOTO INDEX: JOHN EDWARDS, DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL CONTENDER AND LACKAWANNA COUNTY COMMISSIONER ROBERT CORDARO.
AND THE BEAT GOES ON
So Robert Cordaro, after much soul searching is back on the ticket. A.J. Munchak is thrilled, so is the county GOP chairman who can go back to what he does best in terms of party affairs: nothing. Coming as no surprise is the fact that two political gadflys who have never made a name for themselves are going through the court system to knock Cordaro off the ballot. Man this is getting exhausting. But as stated here previously, I truly believe with all my heart that this election has to be held on its merits, the merits of the 4 candidates and not two wanna bees who are using legal ploys to nulify the debate. On a lighter note however, you've got to see the YOU TUBE piece put together by the imaginative staff of the Scranton Times regarding this part of the campaign. Here's the link:

RUNNING FOR VEEP
When I'm watching the Democratic debates, I can't help but think there are a few candidates running for Vice President. Joe Biden, most likely the most qualified man in the Senate to seek the Presidency is not burning any bridges. And John Edwards seems to be running for Vice President, saying things like "we're all in this together" and "any Democrat is better than this administration". Bill Richardson who has the best, varied resume since George Herbert Walker Bush would be an ideal running mate but seems to be runningafoul of the pack with his comments on complete withdrawl from Iraq. Right now, the front runners, Senators Clinton and Obama are getting little serious grief from the middle tier candidates. And I think there's a practical reason for that.
EVERYBODY HAS A BINSACK!!!!!
One of Democratic presidential candidate Bill Richardson's top organizers in rural Nevada resigned Thursday after the campaign learned he had worked for a brothel and was wanted on a felony arrest warrant in California.
Kristian Forland, the campaign's eastern Nevada field director, is being sought by Los Angeles County authorities for failure to appear on four counts of writing bad checks. Forland also was arrested twice, once last year and again last month, in his home of Elko, Nev., on a similar bad check charge out of Las Vegas.
In both arrests, Forland posted bail and was released. It's not clear from court records if the case was resolved.
Forland also was investigated by Elko police after women working at Mona's Ranch, a legal brothel, complained he was shorting them on their pay. An investigator described Forland as "at best a manager of the property," according to a June 2006 police report obtained by the AP.
No charges were filed.
Forland said the bad check charges have come out of business transactions gone bad. Forland said he has hired a lawyer who is working to resolve the California case.
As for the brothel, Forland said he worked for a defunct investment group that briefly ran the bordello.
Forland was listed as the resident agent and officer for Mona's Ranch LLC from September 2004 to October 2006, according to the Nevada secretary of state's office.
Forland was hired this month as Democratic hopefuls competing in the state's first early caucus began turning their attention to solidly Republican rural Nevada, where Democratic organizers are a rarity.

Ms. Clinton will be the next president. Good, bad, whatever, she will be.
Voters are looking for someone's head, and it'll be a Republican head; either Giuliani's or Romney's. While this country isn't ready for a Mormon president(or a Jewish president), we could be nearly ready for a black president. What we are undeniably ready for is a woman president.
And don't ignore the fact that Bill Clinton is still enormously popular, despite his inability to keep his crank in his pants. His popularity will be a huge factor in this election. What would he be, First Gentleman? If so, he'd still officially be First Gentleman, President William Jefferson Clinton. Ex-presidents, I do believe, can retain the title, should they wish.
Personally, and from a strictly "Presidential Look" point of view, I say Joe Biden would be it. Timing, baby, it's all about timing...and I don't think this time is his time. Sadly, if he were to have a time, this would be it.
As a local aside; Bobby would do himself an enormous favor if he shut the f*** up and walked away. The man will not be able to withstand unrestrained scrutiny. That big ex-DHS Buck machismo of his keeps him going, and going, and going. Most folks from Dunmore somehow think laws and rules are meant for others, and not them. Rules and laws are no more than suggestions. I know...been there, done that...been there again. Think I'm nuts? Ask any Dunmorean, they'll not only admit it, they'll take pride in it!
I think Karl, the Mullet or Sh** turd or whatever ya call him, Rove wants to get into Hillary Clintons pants. I think when not involved in sexual longings for George Bush, he is fantasizing a hook up with Bill’s Babe, the Hillster!
I hear the Warden at the Lackawanna County Prison is posing for Playboys Women of the Local Jails issue to hit newsstands after the election. Paul Sorvino, the multi somewhat talented something , is planning a B- movie on Jail Babes slated to star Bea Arthur as the warden of a tough womens jail in a Corrupt Pennsylvania Town. It will be filmed in Huntsville Ala with Steven Speilberg and Bob Cordaro as Exec Producers. Lucille Ball will provide comic relief as a pregnant 80 year old inmate. Herve Villaquez and Chewey Baccha on board as steroid abusing guards and Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy will once again play the County Commissioners. The Washo role will be handled by Buddy Ebsen. Tom Cruise a possiblity for Corey OBrien.
The Richardson thing only goes to show that Presidential campaigns are so big, no one candidate can keep his hands on everything. It won't hurt Richardson. His personality or lack thereof might, but not this!
