She was taking kids around the House floor...&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;div border="2" style="margin-top: 10px; border:#000000 1px solid;" width="90%"&gt;&lt;div style="background-color:"&gt;&lt;div align="center" width="100%" style="padding:4px;margin-bottom:4px;background-color:#666666;overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#FFFFFF;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Clip Source: &lt;a style="color:#FFFFFF;" href="http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0508/10206.html" title="http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0508/10206.html"&gt;www.politico.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;&lt;DIV class="storyheaderlarge"&gt;Obamamania sweeps the Hill&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;
Even Republicans were star-struck. Rep. Illeana Ros-Lehtinen (R-Fla.) said she was escorting a group of elementary school students onto the House floor when Obama made his entrance.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;
“The kids were very excited,” said Ros-Lehtinen. “Like rock star excited.”&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;Ros-Lehtinen said the children noticed the presidential hopeful and screamed, “It’s Barack Obama!” in unison. The congresswoman then led the students across the aisle and over to Obama, who chatted briefly with the three students.&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 40px;"&gt;Tags: &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/obama/" rel="tag"&gt;obama&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/congress/" rel="tag"&gt;congress&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><clipSource>http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0508/10206.html</clipSource><pubDate>Thu, 08 May 2008 22:52:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Broken Brand - GOP</title><link>http://clipmarks.com/clipmark/99866ADF-55CE-4E57-8557-4DBE6305E930/</link><description>&lt;b&gt;clipped by:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/clipper/mobilediner/"&gt;mobilediner&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;clipper's remarks:&lt;/b&gt;  The marketing for the GOP doesn't match the actions of the Bush Admin's leadership..  It will take many years to rebuild the image of the Republican party and regain the trust of voters.. &lt;br&gt;&lt;div border="2" style="margin-top: 10px; border:#000000 1px solid;" width="90%"&gt;&lt;div style="background-color:"&gt;&lt;div align="center" width="100%" style="padding:4px;margin-bottom:4px;background-color:#666666;overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#FFFFFF;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Clip Source: &lt;a style="color:#FFFFFF;" href="http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2008/05/gop_stunned_by_loss_in_mississ.html" title="http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2008/05/gop_stunned_by_loss_in_mississ.html"&gt;www.realclearpolitics.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;&lt;H2 class="h2-article"&gt;GOP Stunned By Loss in Mississippi&lt;/H2&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;In a major blow to national Republicans, a Mississippi congressional seat that once voted for President Bush by a twenty-five point margin elected a Democrat on Tuesday. Prentiss County Chancery Clerk Travis Childers beat out Republican candidate Greg Davis, the mayor of Southaven, by a 54%-46% margin, a spread that several Republican strategists on Capitol Hill characterized as a startling wake-up call for a party in dire straits.&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 40px;"&gt;Tags: &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/politics/" rel="tag"&gt;politics&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/congress/" rel="tag"&gt;congress&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/administration/" rel="tag"&gt;administration&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><clipSource>http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2008/05/gop_stunned_by_loss_in_mississ.html</clipSource><pubDate>Wed, 14 May 2008 15:26:05 GMT</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
