According to Vancouver Washington Real Estate Information 1 out of 6 homes in America are in foreclosure! There are more foreclosures now by almost double than in 2007 and quadruple from 2006. According to Zillow.com upwards of 50% of houses are in foreclosure in some markets. Wow…
Many more homes are upside down and staring foreclosure in the face. Of course, many will use the short sale option in order to avoid foreclosure.

House Passes $700 Billion Dollar Rescue Bill
It’s a sad day for America today if you oppose the $700,000 Rescue Bill. The sweeteners caused many of Monday’s “nays” to vote “yah” today. Sad. “Give me something for my constituents and I’ll vote “yes”. Down with Values. Down with fiscal responsibility.
When was the last time a local business who was hurting received government assistance. If you did not get government assistance it’s cause you are in the wrong business.. You weren’t a banker!

Obama and Clinton will be duking it out today trying to get more delegates raked up on their respective sides. At stake today is Wisconsin and Hawaii. Wisconsin has 74 delegates up for grabs and Hawaii has 20. The polls are all over the board. One shows Hillary ahead in Wisconsin and the other shows Obama leading. Go figure! Who do you think is going to carry the day? Who should carry the day?
Clinton’s camp is hedging on super delegates as they try and woo them to their side. Stay tuned as the results come pouring in.
McCain is currently leading in delegate counts for the Republican nomination. Huckabee plans on staying in the race until 1 man acquires the necessary votes to clinch the nomination.

Today Mitt Romney dropped his bid for the White House. He decided that staying in for the fight would harm the Republican party during a critical time when they need to rally behind 1 candidate for office of the President of the United States in the 2008 election.
Mike Huckabee figures he still has a crack at sealing the nomination so he is staying in and now he gets the chance to go neck to neck with John McCain. McCain is ready to clinch the nomination and would like to get this all over with so that he can start the process of rallying the Republicans behind him in the bid for the White House 2008.

This was the most incredible primary on recent record with so many people coming to the polls and each of the candidates pulling off significant victories. At this point there has been no decisive victory although it appears that McCain could tie this down for the Republicans unless we can see more momentum and a shift in the results for either Mitt or Mike in the final leg of the primaries.
Delegate count as it stands this morning:
On the Republican side of the aisle we have John McCain leading with 613 delegates, Mitt Romney coming in with 269 delegates, Mike Huckabee at 190 delegates & Ron Paul with 14 delegates.
On the Democratic side of the aisle we have Barack Obama with 765 delegates and Hillary Clinton with 845 delegates, John Edwards with 26 delegates and Mike Gavel with 0 delegates.
Well, the candidates are strapping on their boots for a few more laps around the rest of the nation that has not held their primaries yet as the candidates try and convince American voters and delegates that they are the right man or women to be the next President of the United States of America.

Can you imagine? On Super Tuesday tornadoes tore thru several southern states. Tornadoes ripped apart buildings, tore off roofs and flattened mobiles homes. Tennessee - 24 victims, Arkansas - 14 victims, Kentucky - 7 victims, Alabama - 3 victims. As a nation our hearts go out to these Tornado victims and their families. Victims were children and adults. We can only imagine the pain the relatives of the victims of these fierce Tornadoes are facing this morning.
2 Dormitories at Union Pacific University were hit hard devastating the buildings and sending debree all over the parking lot. Many students were taken to the hospital.
The tornados also hit in Mississippi. It also appears that a tornado damaged 8 homes in Walker County, Alabama either on Tuesday or early Wednesday morning.

Well at this point we don’t have a clear decisive victory for either democratic contender for the democratic presidential nomination. So far the various polsters have varied results and so it’s still too early to tell who is going to tie this one up. There is every possibility that neither Obama or Clinton will be a clear victor in Super Tuesday’s delegate count. Either Clinton or Obama will end the day with the most delegate votes but they still may not have enough to clinch the nomination.
Prior to Super Tuesday the Democratic ticket looked like this: Barack Obama at 190 delegates and Hillary Clinton at 261 delegates. On the Republican ticket John McCain is leading with 90 delegates and with Mitt Romney on his tail with 77.
