It's a shame, really. Probably due to bad sanitation or poor hospital care, but maybe that's just my negative stereotype of our healthcare. I'm just glad more people haven't been killed. Hope this "pandemic" is grossly exaggerated.

I would beg to differ and would like to think the opposite. I read somewhere here that with Palin McCain might just win the presidency and that would give Hillary a very good chance in 2012. If Obama becomes the president then he will go for another term...
