It seems that everyone has a bone to pick with the possibility of Caroline Kennedy replacing Hillary Clinton as the junior senator in New York. Oddly enough many of the criticisms being leveled against Kennedy could have been used against Clinton when she moved to the state, but weren’t.

It is unfathomable in the 21st Century that we need to talk about this issue. However it seems that now is the time for legislation that would ensure equal pay for women is passed. Speaker Nancy Pelosi called this a priority of the House.
Obama's winning argument
Posted by srepen 501 days ago (http://www.salon.com)
As Barack Obama delivers his closing argument, stumping across the battleground states, he seems increasingly confident in contrasting the success of Democratic policy with the failure of Republican ideology. During his Florida appearance with former President Bill Clinton as well as in other recent speeches, he has pointed to the bankruptcy of the conservative economic theories that he promises to discard. And he is utterly unfazed by the McCain camp's shrill cries of "socialism," perhaps b
Editorial: Barack Obama is a President for modern times
Posted by srepen 501 days ago (http://www.guardian.co.uk)
The 21st century began late for America, on 11 September 2001. Before that day, the US still defined its role in the world with reference to ideological triumph in the Cold War that had dominated the century just passed. It was the planet's only superpower and saw itself as a popular champion of global democracy. Few expected the nation to come under attack, least of all the man who had been installed in the White House a year earlier. In 2000, George W Bush was uninterested in foreign affairs

The presidential election is Tuesday, November 4th.
For me, the choice is easy, obvious, and necessary. The United States has a two-party system. Every four years we have an opportunity to vote for either a continuation of current policies or to try the alternative.
The U.S. economy is in serious trouble. This has made foreign policy a secondary issue, but U.S. foreign policy is also in serious trouble. The current Republican Party policies have been a disaster. Read a newspaper, watch th

Why Barack Obama Is Winning
Posted by srepen 511 days ago (http://www.time.com)
Barack Obama has prospered in this presidential campaign because of the steadiness of his temperament and the judicious quality of his decision-making. They are his best-known qualities. The most important decision he has made — the selection of a running mate — was done carefully, with an exhaustive attention to detail and contemplation of all the possible angles.

Klein: Obama Wins Debate On Tactics and Strategies

on this night, Obama emerged as a candidate who was at least as knowledgeable, judicious and unflappable as McCain on foreign policy ... and more knowledgeable, and better suited to deal with the economic crisis and domestic problems the country faces.

The interesting part, for me, is seeing how the comparisons come out. I never really know in advance; one reason I do this is as a check on my own objectivity. In this case, I assumed that McCain would absolutely dominate during the 109th Congress, both because his party was in power and because of his seniority. (These affect not just how likely his bills are to pass, but how likely they are to be listed as his bills: there's a reason that the bill Dick Lugar and Barack Obama wrote on nonprol

Three themes emerge from the data. First, Obama succeeded in bolstering his image as a tough, strong leader who Americans can imagine as their president.
Second, Obama's efforts to "spell out exactly" what changes he would make as president had the desired effect. CBS News found half of its sample (50 percent) saying that Obama "has made it clear what he would do as president," a 9-point increase (from 41 percent) since before the convention.
