Written by admin on January 17, 2010.

The real world is entering an election campaign. The Democrats still are always looking for an original stance on Iraq and to position themselves before the 9/11-Reichstags as the real anti-terrorist hardliners. Al Gore is committed to a candidate, but for whom? Chuck Hagel is leaving politics - and running to the Democrats on? Barack Obama takes on one evening three million U.S. dollars. New York Times Magazine takes Rudy Giuliani campaigning among the very large magnifying glass. And the WASPO portrays the typical election campaign “Don Quixote”: Mike Gravel - no money, no chance, but still a candidate.

The Democrats have begun to talk shows to position themselves on the Iraq debate this week about the idea of the Petraeus report for it. Since they reject Bush’s policies, of course, the content of its strategy, but not so far away (with the exception of Barack Obama), they undermine a precautionary measure the significance of the Peterus report: could because his own testimony to the General issuing it to the statements do not necessarily treated as facts, says about Edward Kennedy.

After his strong donations during the third quarter, and its consistently high ratings on the Internet is another proof of how much matter the Republican outsider in parts of the electorate. In recent surveys by contrast, Paul is still at three percent. [More]

Written by admin on January 12, 2010.

This holiday is sacred to the Americans - and even in this overwrought campaign and the candidate observe the holiday alone. At least Hillary Clinton had promised: “We’re leaving you all alone on Thanksgiving, so that should be one of the blessings.
