| West Coast Conference Tournament Preview
Omar Samhan is a beast down low at both ends of the floor. The Gaels have a lot of offensive options. Contender: If Gonzaga or St. Mary's don't reach the final, San Diego is the team most likely to dethrone them. The Toreros have won 10 of their last 12 games, and their three losses in WCC play were all to the Bulldogs or Gaels. One more thing: the conference tournament is San Diego, which immediately gives the Toreros an advantage. Brandon Johnson is one of the best guards in the conference, and Gyno Pomare is a very good scorer and rebounder down low.Sleeper: Considering no one outside of the aforementioned three finished above .500, the pickings are slim for a legitimate sleeper. However, Santa Clara could potentially be a threat. The Broncos lost four of their last six games, but they have one of the best big men in the country in John Bryant.

McCain and Obama turn fire on each other
Hillary's attacks against Obama only make her look angry. People are sick of the Clinton's, their antics, their deals, and their arrogance in assuming the presidency should go to the former First Lady who has only served a few years in the Senate and while there, never lead any opposition to Bush's disastrous foreign policies. Had Clinton shown any leadership in the Senate, had she not botched the health care issues Bill threw to her in the first year of his presidency, she might be a credible candidate even though she has no real record of public service and certainly nothing like 35 years as she claims. But HIllary's judgement has always been bad. America needs positive leadership. .
