I think Hillary will engineer a centrist-appearance movement in an attempt to prevail in 2008. That may be where they'll head without really examining the facts. HOWEVER - remember that the Founding Fathers were neither Democrat nor Republican. They were Federalist and ... uh ... anti-Federalist. So over the history of our country, we've not always had the Elephant/Donkey yin-yang operating. And in times past, the term "Republican" didn't even mean the same thing. So it's not too much to imagine that the Democrat Party may march itself into oblivion (or at least marginalization, like Ralph Nader) and the Republican-Democrat system may metamorphosize into something different - perhaps the "evangelical-Christian-ultra-right prolife" Republicans versus the "moderate social liberal/economic conservative prochoice" Republicans. There seems to be a natural dichotomy there, judging from what the various Republicans are saying, etc. Who knows? But the point is, we weren't ALWAYS Republican/Democrat - we won't be so forever. That's THE American way. Progress. Joe P. Next message: Braun, R.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
