Wow, and here I thought Iowa was 98% Caucasian?

1. Insulting
I would rather vote for Obama and lose then lose with Hillary because people can't make up their mind between Hillary and McSame. Answer not much difference IMHO- FYI I am an Edwards guy!

7. Sushi on a stick!


Called corn dogs, hairy dogs, Pluto pups and pogos, battered hot dogs on a stick have been a classic summer fair staple since the 1940s. But two city chefs have elevated the hand-held snack from greasy carnival fare to art.

Long before the first North American battered and fried a frank, the Japanese were enjoying kushikatsu, the love child of yakitori and tempura. At Toshi Sushi (565 King St. W., 416-260-8588), chef Shinji Mori skewers everything from pork to scallops to lotus root ($1.50–$2 each) before dipping them in flour, beaten egg and panko and frying them in hot oil. Well browned and extra crunchy, they’re plated with a sweet, smoky barbecue sauce (tonkatsu) and hot mustard paste (karashi), plus a lemon wedge on the side. Bar food doesn’t get much better.

At Beerbistro (18 King St. E., 416-861-9872), chef Brian Morin wraps shredded duck confit around a stick and dunks it into a cornmeal batter lubricated with Sleeman Cream Ale. Fried to golden perfection, two miniature corn dogs ($9.75) are propped up on a custom-made stand and garnished with designer sprouts. Condiments show a sense of humour but respect tradition: a purée of roasted pineapple sweetens sharp mustard, and house ketchup gets a fruity note from dried cherries and cherry beer. The crisp, light coating yields to moist, succulent duck, and with sauces this good, it’s hard not to double-dip.

11. Hey, my daughter had teriyaki chicken on a stick at the fair last year.
AND...the day we were there, Obama was there too! Coincidence?!?
It's a conspiracy!

Any day now she'll start eating sushi and drinking lattes.

I'm 50, white, blue collar, Union member, non college educated. So ain't I supposed to be a Hillary supporter? Must have done somthing wrong somewhere.

8. Iowans don't count
We're a caucus state.
However, this middle-aged, non-college educated, white female supports Senator Obama, and has never supported Senator Clinton during her campaign.

9. Just called Harkin's office
asking if he and some other senators could band together to tell Hillary to tone it down before she blows our party apart. Don't know if it will do any good, but I can't think of any better way to try to get a message to Hillary.
She is certainly not self-policing and she and Bill seem hell-bent on her being president no matter what the consequences.
If anyone else wishes to call Harkin's number in Washington is (202) 224-3254 Phone
