From the very moment Hillary Clinton announced her intentions to run for president, I knew this would happen. I knew that one day, the seemingly unflappable junior Senator from New York would go through what could be described as not one of her finer moments in front of a crowd, and that as an excuse, she’d do what so many other so-called “equality-loving” feminists do: play the victim card.
Next Tuesday, Charlotteans will be take to the polls to vote in the mayoral race (where RINO Pat McRory will likely win another term).

Here’s the relevant part of the transcript:
The Wall Street Journal reports this morning on how the Democrats’ favorite vet Rep. John Murtha built Johnstown, PA on earmarks (h/t: Captain Ed):
A new poll out by Rasmussen seems to suggest just that:
It seems like hardly a week goes by when we aren’t hearing about another blunder occurring within the Edwards for president campaign. The latest happened after a graduate student from UNC-Chapel Hill did a report for a UNC-CH’s student-run television program that questioned whether or not it was a smart move for Edwards’, who fancies himself as a champion of sorts for the poor, to have his campaign HQ in a wealthy section of town in Chapel Hill. The Raleigh News and Observer reports (emphasis added):
