"Bayh"-passing '08, as Edwards readies for Obama & Clinton, etc. .

Indiana Sen. Evan Bayh has announced that he won't be a contender for the 2008 Presidential election. Meanwhile, former N. C. Senator and John Kerry's '04 running mate, John Edwards, is planning to announce that he will run. I suspect Eva Bayh will be a STRONG contender for Edwards' running mate. Meanwhile, everyone is waiting to hear from Obama and Clinton, two of the STRONGEST Democratic contenders for the office.

On another subject, many of you have heard about the missing climbers and all the efforts being made to rescue them. My question is: should tax payers continue to foot the bill for such EXPENSIVE rescues, especially when these folks needing to be rescued take such DANGEROUS - and perhaps - unnecessary RECREATIONAL risks?
