news flash to jfnance32...

That marketing "idea" has been common practice at many strip resorts for years....Only now you will begin to see more & more of that type of promotion advertised and marketed on a mass scale. Check many of the Harrah's properties and some of the other casinos in Primm, Laughlin and Pharump. Travel vouchers, cash for gas coupons, airfare comps etc, etc...

It is in no way imperative that Senator Obama should be FORCED into appointing Mrs. Clinton as his VP. The argument about the “popular vote” can be greatly debated and I have already seen 3 scenarios were both candidates are either equal or the advantage goes to Obama. The idea of her winning the popular vote is only true if you count Florida and Michigan. But that too is debatable since both of those elections were flawed and Mrs. Clinton herself said that they wouldn’t count. Clinton’s supporters argue about honoring those who did check the Hilary Clinton box in those elections, but what about honoring those who didn’t get the chance to check an Obama box and instead had to check the undecided box or in many cases didn’t even come out since they knew that the election wouldn’t count and that there wouldn’t even be an Obama box….

Needless to say, never in this country’s history has there been a push to force a candidate to choose one particular VP choice. That is a sign of weakness. We all know that Mrs. Clinton is power hungry and that she probably “needs” that VP spot to fulfill her legacy. But the issue is not that Obama needs to reach out to her supporters and gain their trust, because remember we are all Democrats here. Rather the issue is will Hillary Clinton (and her supporters) be willing to take a back seat and begin to tone down her views and positions in order to allow the nominee to have the last word and say so like a true vice president should. Hillary needs to prove that she (and her supporters) can humble herself enough and begin a tone and presence like a true VP should. Only then can Obama begin to consider her. Believe me, we can’t have a president, a president wanna be, and a former president in the white house. We damn sure can’t have a VP that has her own agenda and undermines the president’s decisions. That is not good for our party nor our country and its citizens.

Ok SPFPAUNIONYES? Then what was the point in posting that little tid-bit bellow an article on city-center and MGM Mirage.....?

next time remove the disclaimer if your trying to make a point or tie some overreaching correlation.

From this "progress report" the only negatives or "needs improvement" I see in Hamrick is the Football program, and getting more support and donations from the LV community. I say fire Sanford after this season (if they are not @ least 1 game over .500) and get your a$$ into the community and promote the University for more donations..... We can decide to keep or boot him in 2010
