I\u2019ve shared all t<\/font>he headers to give you a taste of what it covers.  Click through for the meat of the article.  To me. the most interesting item is the one on Monica Wehbe.<\/font><\/p>\n

Rachel Maddow covered the day in two videos.  I\u2019m sorry that I can\u2019t get the clips in an Internationally viewable format, but I\u2019m including their titles so you can search later.  In the first she covers Oregon Republicans.<\/font><\/p>\n
