Hillary Clinton’s only ‘20 times better’ than a hotdog?
by Rick Pearson HAMMOND, Ind. Evoking memories of her husband s always-behind-schedule late arrivals, Democratic presidential contender Hillary Clinton was running an hour behind schedule on her Hoosier economic town hall at the Hammond Civic Center. Trying to placate the 1,500 people who waited for hours, various musical acts and local officials took the stage to implore people to hang on for her arrival. Hammond Mayor Thomas McDermott, who is among seven Northwest Indiana mayors who are backing Clinton, urged people to eschew the civic center s hot dogs and return to their seats. I know those hot dogs are good, McDermott said, but Sen. Clinton is 20 times better than that.

New Rep. Foster to deliver Dem radio address
By Jim Tankersley House Democrats have tapped their newest member to rebut President Bush on the airwaves this weekend. Rep. Bill Foster (D-Ill.), who won a special election this month to replace retired former Speaker Dennis Hastert, will discuss the economy in this weekend’s Democratic radio address. The speech will be broadcast across the country. Now, Democrats in Congress are fighting to cut taxes for middle-class families who need relief, and we re working to keep families in their homes by addressing the mortgage crisis head-on,” Foster will say, according to excerpts of the speech his office released today. “Next week, the House of Representatives will continue to work on a comprehensive plan to help families who are on the brink of losing their homes. Our plan will help more families avoid foreclosure and gives cities the chance to rehabilitate foreclosed homes and put them back on the market.” He goes on to urge an end to foreign oil dependence, additional alternative energy tax incentives and expanding a federal children’s health insurance program. I am honored to be chosen to speak on a national stage on behalf of my constituents,” Foster said in a press release. “From Dixon to DeKalb and from Geneseo to Geneva and everywhere in between, the problems of the 14th District are the same ones felt across the nation and these are the problems, that both Democrats and Republicans, must work together to solve.

Springboard to success?
It never exactly was hyped as a ”boot camp.” Rather, descriptions such as ”building intensity” and ”playing with a chip on your shoulder” were thrown around a lot heading into mid-February. But with camp complete and the bell about to ring on games that finally matter, the White Sox are hoping to be able to look back from postseason play in October, and say, ”Yeah, it all started in the spring.”
