A recent study led by Vanderbilt University professor Peter Buerhaus polled registered nurses about two timely issues -- the state of health care and the importance of the issue in the upcoming election.
With a close election expected, the country's three million registered nurses could make a difference in the election, Buerhaus says.
Most nurses interviewed support some form of universal health care coverage, although opinions vary on just how extensive coverage should be.
Very few approve of the country's health care system as it stands now, the survey shows.
...Slightly more than half, or 51 percent, believe that if all nurses could join together to address one health problem, it would be the number of uninsured Americans.

Sir I:
Is your heading still reflecting your true thoughts about Palin running in 2012? Obama would have to fail terribly for her to get the nomination then, much less run, I think. She's a laughing stock most places I've been.....
Let "sleeping dogs lie", I say, and allow her to give the time her son with Downs' syndrome and the rest of her family need to overcome their challenges and get the help they seem to need so desperately!
To answer your questions today, yes.
I respectfully reserve my own opinion about the future........in the future.:)
Most of the veterans, supported McCain. I supported McCain. Most people from my area were for McCain and we cannot understand how Obama took Florida. He did not take that many counties, just South Florida (5 counties only) and only one North Fl. county.

I'm confused where you're getting your information from. The electoral maps I've looked at; CNN and NY times both show 15 counties:) I can name them if you want.
I took issue because I don't know as many soldiers as you do (obviously), and one in particular who I know best is working stateside in an office where the competition for advancement, and snitching was huge. When I dissed "W" after knowing him (not W) a short time, he said, "He's doing his best!" I laughed and thought he was joking......
Families I've known whose loved ones are in Iraq, seem to need the belief that their presence there protects us in the USA. Retired soldiers I've known, seen to retain whatever attitude they had from past deployments from WW II, Korea, Viet Nam, and Afghanistan.
CityKat, I got mine from Foxnews and CNN. I taught geography for 7 years. I read maps very well thank you.
Not trying to be rude in any way, but most people know that fox news is a completely biased news station. For example...in the second debate, they showed McCain the winner by 87% and he clearly was NOT the winner in any of the debates and they were the ONLY news station that said he was. Bias or just poor reporting and wrong reporting? During the entire election, I was watching CNN and they showed Obama with 15 counties and that he was the predicted winner if they were correct.
