Leaders and it was very clear that there is no daylight amongst the elected leaders in terms of how they are viewing these decisions coming out of the administration. So i just want to make again very clearly enunciate very clearly that i oppose this administrations decision on anwr i oppose its decision offshore, i oppose its costly restricts and endless decisions within the mpra and oppose what its doing to our plasser miners and Timber Industry and many other Resource Producers ready to provide good jobs to hardworking alaskans.

Sean omalley took the time to sit alone in prayer. One by one, the cardinals walked down the aisle before taking individual oaths to obey the rules of the conclave, which demand the utmost secrecy. If they ever break their silence, they risk excommunication. Cardinal dolan, now thought to be a considerable contender, gave a final radio dispatch from rome before heading into conclave himself. Its a unique, special morning. I never thought id be doing what im about to do. Reporter the last words well hear from him for a while. Extra omenes.

For one, it would be his final mass before becoming pope. Might that pope be Cardinal Timothy dolan of new york . In the days leading to conclave, he has become a darling of the italian press. Or might that pope be Cardinal Omalley of boston, whose humble capuchin robes and leadership in the wake of the nationwide sexual abuse scandals have endeared him to his fellow electors .
