By Danny Reiter, PolitickerMD.com Reporter
Roxanne TaylorDENVER - Roxanne Taylor (D-Bowie), a Barack Obama Democratic National Committee delegate from the 5th District, plans on making it to presumptive Democratic nominee Barack Obama’s acceptance speech despite suffering from a stroke.
Taylor checked in to Denver Medical Center early Tuesday morning after she suffered a stroke during a reception hosted by Comptroller Peter Franchot (D-Takoma Park).
“She is recovering miraculously,” Maryland Democratic Party Executive Director Quincey Gamble told the Maryland delegation during a reception at the Denver Botanic Gardens.
Gamble then read a statement from Taylor: “Nothing will stop me from being there Thursday night,” she said.

Quote of the Day
In the long run, fiscal responsibility can and must be a watchword of our majority. For eight years, the administration lived by the proposition summed up by vice president Cheney, who said, 'Reagan proved deficits don't matter.' Businesses, consumers pursued that siren song to the brink of financial destruction - and some, of course, have gone over that brink. We are now experiencing the stark, painful reality that debt does indeed matter."
- House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer.

TALK IS CHEAP ...
CHARACTER COMPARISONS ...
Lofty speeches are great ... but actons
speak louder than words !!!
In addition to 20+ more years of service and
experience in the U.S. senate than the other
candidate ...
One candidate, John McCain watched his fellow
prisoner's backs, at great cost to himself. After
3 years as a tortured P.O.W. in Vietnam, he was
offered early release by the enemy. But, since it
would have been dishonorable to get released
before his fellow prisoners, he refused, which
resulted in 2 1/2 additional years of torture and
captivity.
The other candidate, Barack Obama threw his
self proclaimed friend, spiritual advisor, and mentor
of 20 years, under the bus for political expediency and gain.
To vote for Obama, after learning these differences ...
will say as much about your character, as it does about
the character of the two candidates.
