Could a gene be partly responsible for the behaviour of some of the world's most savage dictators? Jump here, to Nature News, to find out. Has the ruthlessness gene been uncovered? The study suggests dictatorial behaviour is partly genetic.

It looks like Senator Clinton's campaign got the toofless gene.

Actually, we'll all wish it was indeed toofless when they begin the credential fights and delegation challenges August 25th in Denver...

That won't be pretty but don't you think the SD's will move to Obama if he maintains his margin on the pledged delegates to make it untenable for her to be so brash? Unless something wild comes out it's hard to see that he will need more than 40% of the uncommitted SD's and he'll likely pull many more than that.

Yes, I do think most SD's will jump on the Obama bandwagon.

You can tell how much it frosts Bill that his wife even has to run. They did after all have this primary season set up to be less a contest than a coronation.

I honestly think the SDs are holding tight, waiting to see if Obama is the real deal. It's the fear factor....they know Hillary will not likely be hit with a scandal...she already had. I think people are nervous we just haven't heard the Obama one yet.

I don't think there is one.
