US Weighs 'Broad Range of Actions' as Libya No-Fly Zone Vote Nears
By not in system - AOL NewsUNITED NATIONS -- Supporters of a no-fly zone over Libya called for a vote Thursday on a U.N. resolution aimed at preventing Moammar Gadhafi's planes from carrying out aerial attacks, while the United States, in a striking reversal, pushed for broader action to protect civilians from ground and sea attacks as well. U.S. Ambassador Susan Rice said the Obama administration is "fully focused on the urgency and the gravity of the situation on the ground," where Gadhafi's fighters are intensifying attacks and heading toward rebel-held Bengazi, Libya's second-largest city, and is working "very ...

One of those officials, information minister Benjamin Marial, told The New York Times that more than a ...
Pelosi Gets Thumbs Down From 19 Fellow Democrats
By Andrea Stone - AOL NewsWASHINGTON -- It was no surprise that Ohio Rep. John Boehner would be elected speaker of the House in the new Republican-controlled chamber today. What was surprising was that the old speaker, Nancy Pelosi, was not the choice of 19 of her fellow Democrats. In the end, Pelosi was elected leader of the House Democrats. But in what could be called the last bark of the much-diminished Blue Dog coalition, 11 Democrats voted for North Carolina Rep. Heath Shuler. The conservative former football star had run for re-election on a vow not to vote for the San Francisco liberal for speaker and had made ...

Ignore Your Inner Cynic and Vote on Tuesday
By Donna Trussell - Politics Daily"Tribute to Her," uploaded to the Internet on Nov. 7, 2008, is a slideshow of Election Day photographs. YouTube member SailorBrownie described her post as a "dedication to all those Black Americans who went out on Tuesday and voted. We made history." While it's not altogether clear who is the "Her" in the title of the video, it might as well be the woman collapsed on the floor in tears. A girl nearby touches her cheek with a little confusion and a lot tenderness for the woman who is, most likely, her mother. The pictures are set to the Beatles song, "Blackbird" -- a good choice, considering ...
