In the order of precedence who is more senior, a senator or a governor? (Outside their state)

Senator.

Edit: Though it's not so cut and dry as who is more powerful, their duties are different. But a Senator has power over laws that affect all states, a Gov doesn't.

Dennis Kucinich did a great speech, also, on BBC news, after Hillary's speech, a lot of her supporters said they'd vote for Obama, some said they didn't know, but I doubt any will vote for McCain.

Man, Hilary's speech last night was very impressive. She really does have great speaking skills.

Yes I must say she did very very well. I hope she stumps for Barack more during the campaign.

I've been reading the analysis... it really was a no-win situation regarding her performance though as now the flip-side of "She's not doing enough." seems to be implied in a few op-ed pieces; that her speech may have been too good.

Notwithstanding that the onus should really be on the nominee not the also-ran to "unite the party."

What really matters was public opinion, and it seems more people have turned to Obama.

That remains to be seen. How well will Biden's speech be received? What will happen at the roll call vote? Will the football stadium stunt backfire? And of course what will Bubba say? The drama continues to unfold...

I didn't know the House and the Senate was ranked by induction date. 85th in the Senate... to the top spot in the country... is quite the leap... American politics is quite fascinating...

If Obama doesn't win...does it mean the US is racist?

Also, what is the etiquette towards former presidents, do they always go by President *name* even after they have left office?

I generally see them referred to as "former President ______" and I echo the "what?" of above regarding the first question.

W-wow...your officially stealing Bardocks banter...you are forcing your way up there aren't you?

Anyway, a woman at the DNC said it, so I thought I'd lay the bait out in this thread.

I was just wondering because I keep hearing Bill getting called President Clinton.

Hahaha, I like Bardock's banter, always have. I think you mean syntax, though, that would make more sense.

I've never heard Bill being called that, I've only ever heard "ex-president". Unless of course you've somehow tuned into to time travel via radio.

Once you are elected President, Senator, Governor, Representative, etc, you hold that title forever.

No no, banter is a colloquial term up her in Scotland, and it fitted that instance perfectly.

Well, the party chairman just called him that on the BBC Coverage of the DNC.

I remember him being called that on R&J. I remember him being called that in the aftermath of 9/11...

They even called him that in the Primaries...

You just don't know what your talking about and thus want to stay close to what X is saying, so that you can't be far wrong...

Firstly, it's not a term that is correct in this instance, at all.

Secondly, I haven't actually ever heard that being said on any news channel, in any article, ever.

Finally, I hadn't even read what X had written before I joined in this debate. Though obviously, you enjoy rationalising your idiocy via accusing members of a mutual hatred, though the fact seems to be that you don't know what you're talking about.

Well stragelove has cleared up that issue...you must be the one in the time loop.

Secondly, as I said, in colloquial use, it was used in the correct instance- absolutely. Ask any other scottish poster on KMC.

Yes he has, I apologise, as I was speaking from personal experience only.

I am well aware of the word, it is not exclusively Scottish, at all. In fact, I'm fairly sure it has cockney origins.
