W... Hmmm...I think that it is equally inportant in forming Words as the rest of the alphabet. But What gets me is that When you pronounce the letter by itself, you pronounce it "double-u". So it has two syllables, but every other letter of the alphabet is a single syllable. So in that respect, W is an outstanding alphabet letter. Also When you use the letter W in Words it is either silent or has a Whoosh sound to it, but never forms a Word that is as just the single letter pronunciation. So I think W is pretty important.

Multi ... no no no no no! The desired answer to that question would be no!Sorry. I live near Detroit, and the city's current political mess happened partly because the mayor knew how to use the text feature on his phone. Please keep politicians away from text messages!http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/99999999/NEWS01/80124052/1001/NEWS&template=theme&theme=KILPATRICK012008

To Senator Obama: Do you agree that your good friend Bernadine Dohrn in Chicago was an active terrorist in the United States in the late 1960's and the 1970's, and as a member of the Weather Underground advocated the overthrow of the government of the United States, to be replaced by a Marxist-Leninist form of government?

Obama: Are you running for president now because now you feel you can accomplish more that way than agitating from the outside? If the politicians in place respond to African-American voters' needs, will you gladly work with and support them? Do you feel really feel people, especially black voters and minorities are so angry and ready for a change at a national level?

Scott, How does risking our coastlines affect our addition to oil? Isn't that done at the refinery?

Senator McCain:In light of the ongoing oil spill occuring in New Orleans, do you still favor risking the nation's coastlines to feed the nation's addition to oil? Did you cancel your recent photo op to tout Gulf Coast oil rigs because of the oil spill?
