NBC says Coloradans are swingers Thu, 03 Apr 2008 12:15:10 -0700

No, no, no, not that kind of swingers. Well, maybe some of you but keep those blinds drawn, OK?

We're talking swing state in November's election.

NBC's election soothsayers predict Colorado would be a tossup in a matchup of Barack Obama and John McCain but would lean to McCain if his opponent was Hillary Clinton.

Did Hillary tell Richardson 'Obama can't win'? Thu, 03 Apr 2008 09:29:45 -0700

When Bill Richardson called Hillary Clinton to deliver the bombshell that he was going to endorse Barack Obama, she told him, ""He cannot win, Bill. He cannot win."

At least that's what ABC News reported last night, quoting "sources with direct knowledge of the conversation":

Richardson, who served in President Clinton's cabinet, disagreed.
At a rally in Oregon, standing next to Obama, Richardson insisted, "My great affection and admiration for Hillary Clinton and President Bill Clinton will never waver." But he added, "It is time, however, for Democrats to stop fighting among ourselves and to prepare for the tough fight we will face against John McCain in the fall."

Flummoxed by frequent flier miles? Thu, 03 Apr 2008 07:50:49 -0700

Tried to redeem frequent flier miles lately? Did you wind up with your first choice of destination and travel dates? Me neither.

Too many people are trying to cash in miles for top destinations and airlines have tightened their frequent flier policies, leaving many of us to scramble for those rare free seats.

Chris Walsh, who covers the airline industry and is a frequent flier expert, reports:.

Scoring mileage award flights to popular vacation destinations is quickly becoming an exercise in futility, as a growing number of travelers fight for a limited number of free seats. That's forced consumers to consider cities with lower demand, to fly off-season or to use more miles for unrestricted reward flights.
