    Contact Music.com has SNOOP DOGG BEGS SCHWARZENEGGER FOR CLEMENCY.

    Rapper SNOOP DOGG has taken his clemency plea for gang leader STANLEY ‘TOOKIE’ WILLIAMS to California Governor ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER.

    The DROP IT LIKE IT’S HOT hitmaker joined protestors outside San Quentin State Prison in California, where Williams is serving time on death row, on Saturday (19NOV05) and made a public plea to Schwarzenegger to grant his friend a stay of execution.

    The rap star, real name CALVIN BROADUS, told reporters that the former Crips gang leader, who was imprisoned in 1979 for the murder of four people during two Los Angeles robberies, has inspired him to lead a better life – and he wants Schwarzenegger to think long and hard before agreeing to end his friend’s life.

    Snoop said, “He inspired me to want to do something positive with my life. There is no reason on earth to kill him (Williams), and there is every reason to keep him alive.”

    To help the cause, Snoop has recorded a new tune, REAL SOON, which he has dedicated to Williams, who has been nominated for Nobel Peace Prizes for his teachings and writing.

    Williams is scheduled to be put to death on 13 December (05). Schwarzenegger has admitted he’s “dreading” making the final decision about the former thug’s future later today.

    Flap bets for the four people Williams murdered dreaded being DEAD.

    No clemency for Tookie.

    Justice for his victims.

    President 2008 Watch: Mark Warner a Challenger to Hillary?

    November 21, 2005 /

    Let the campaigning begin? Virginia Gov. Mark Warner presses the flesh Friday at a Democratic Party luncheon in Manchester, N.H.

    The Washington Post has Away Game

    Mark Warner Says Goodbye to the Home Team, Maybe See You Next Next Next Fall

    Gov. Mark Warner surges into New Hampshire, beaming with red state credibility and teeth like mah-jongg tiles.

    “Wow, what great energy,” he says amid a standing ovation from a luncheon of Democratic activists. He is trailed by 10 reporters and cameramen, a Big Deal entourage, and emits the radiance of a prospective candidate packing considerable ’08 momentum.

    In ’05.

    In the Granite State’s perennial presidential calendar, the outgoing Virginia governor has become his party’s heat magnet since his protege Tim Kaine was elected to succeed him two weeks ago. Political smarties see Kaine’s win as a repudiation of President Bush and a boost to Warner’s presidential ambitions and — well, let’s not get ahead of ourselves here.

    Well, if Warner starts to poll well in New Hampshire look for the Clinton personal press attacks. Warner is a possible for Vice President but Bill Richardson is from the West and gives Clinton a key constituency – the Latino vote.

    NB: The comment on whitened HORSE TEETH.

    This will be interesting to watch…..

    Stay tuned……..
