You can tell it's a big political year in Little Rhody when the New York Times takes notice.
In a story today, Times reporter Abby Goodnough says the following:
PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- For the first time anyone can remember, this small state is relishing its role in the presidential primary cycle.
The state, with only 665,000 eligible voters, has seen astonishing surges in both voter registration and grass-roots political activity.
And while a scant 32 delegates to the Democratic National Convention are at stake, compared with a combined 389 in Ohio and Texas, which will also vote on Tuesday, the candidates are lavishing attention on Little Rhody.
Read on for another reminder on why the leading candidates have been stopping here ahead of this Tuesday's presidential primary.

Hillary clearly has been in politics longer than her opponent, simply because she is older. However, she has failed miserably in critical tests of judgement.
On domestic matters, she failed to move on healthcare because of her penchant for secrecy and control.
On foreign policy, she failed when she authorized President Bush to invade Irag instead of pursuing Bin Laden in Afghanistan.
Judgement counts.

Unbelieveable!
Incase you missed it........................
During the Feb 19th debates in Ohio Senator Obama who also serves as Chair of the subcommittee that has oversight over NATO admitted he has not held one single substantive hearing to figure out what the U.S can do to have a stronger presence with Nato in Afghanistan.
Obama admitted it was true stating it was because his responsibilities as chair began at the same time he started running for President. So while hundreds of thousand of our young men and women are at great risk and being killed in Afghanistan Obama’s admission that he was too busy running for president clearly proves he is not only NOT ready to be president, but someone should question his position as a senator as well.
The day after Senator Carl Levin (D-MI), Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee noted that Senator Clinton has introduced more legislation to address the problems facing wounded service members than any other Senator, including The Dignified Treatment of Wounded Warriors Act (accomplished while running her presidential race).
