Nearly all candidates used Labor Day for intensive treatment of the early states of New Hampshire and Iowa area code - at every step, every word on persecuted by the media. Well, for example, as the Washington Post’s political couple takes a close look at Clinton. The Democrats are surfing on a wave of genuine holiday, but the Republicans there is the blues.

Under particular scrutiny is Hillary Clinton. The New York Times recorded the attention that she holds her new campaign in New Hampshire standard free speech, this time - and thereby waived the comments on abortion and homosexuality. For this they clarified their position on Iraq: Immediately after their election, they would contact the leaders at one table and let eradicate a withdrawal plan.

Overlooking the pond 8-10/9

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.

No one would argue that the Americans are ahistorical: Ron Paul’s supporters gather on the Internet almost four million U.S. dollars - thanks to Guy Fawkes. Otherwise, not much was going on yesterday, except that Fred Thompson is an important supporter and thus lost his campaign plane. And John McCain continues to fight.

Has 3.988 million U.S. dollars from more than 35,000 donors, Ron Paul collected in a single day. This is the result of a grassroots campaign on the Internet, driven by fans of the ultra-liberal politician and without direct support of his team. The so-called directed one one website asking for donations on a page could be further pursue the current status. 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 17, 2010.

Michael Bloomberg will officially know nothing about it, but his aides spread a different story: he was to have a real chance of winning the election would be New York’s billionaire mayor and the next spring but still enter the race for the White House. Either as an Independent or as a candidate of a third, undisclosed party. The impact on the race and on America’s political system would be enormous. Newsweek is the speculation on the reason.

Bloomberg has everything that a successful candidate needs to the American presidency: power and design consciousness, an excellent reputation as a doer, a nonpartisan standing, a lot of money and even a campaign website. As the founder of the Bloomberg financial service provider, he has become stinking rich as New York mayor extremely popular. But so far, he denied ever again to resort now to the White House want to.
