Pat,

I agree wholeheartedly about Hillary - she will only electrify the Republican party.

As for the Homeland Security money - here is just one paragraph from a Time mag article...

Now that Wyoming is the nation's No. 1 state recipient of homeland-security money per capita, Cheyenne has access to a mobile radio system that allows different agencies to talk to one another, thanks to $52,000 in federal money. Federal money has also brought Wyoming four command vehicles; enough protective haz-mat suits for every police officer, sheriff's deputy and coroner in the state; and a robot named Miss Daisy that can help dismantle bombs and dispose of toxic chemicals. All these items will more than likely save lives. Haz-mat suits can be used for highway oil spills and police raids of crystal-meth labs. As the fire fighters will tell you, they should have had this equipment years ago. Mark Young, chief of the Casper fire department, says of federal authorities, "They've done us all a favor in this state. We're not gonna waste their money."
