David Petraeus Nominated to Head CENTCOM
2008-04-23 23:36:00 Today, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates announced the appointment of David Petraeus to head the U.S. Central Command.In 2007 Petraeus was appointed as Commanding General of the Multinational Force in Iraq, overseeing the "surge." Through his tenure, military and Iraqi casualties have dramatically fallen, but anti-war sentiments at home remain high.It is unlikely there will be opposition to his nomination, but it will be interesting to see the reactions of Democrats as a vote for Patraeus can be seen as a vote secondary vote supporting the current course in Iraq. I for one approve of this appointment.On a political note, Republicans see Patraeus as a possible candidate for President in 2012 if McCain does not win or if he does not seek a second term. It is unclear to me if Patraeus is a Democrat or Republican.Here are some reactions.From Senator Harry Reid:"The next Centcom commander and field commander in Iraq will have to help the next president with a number of critically importa...
Visits to India Keep Nuclear Deal Alive
2008-03-26 17:12:00 * Guest post from star Center intern, Colleen Garcia Despite seemingly widespread Congressional belief that the U.S.-India nuclear deal is either dead or dormant, continuing visits to India by international leaders and authoritative U.S. policymakers prove that it is, in fact, very much alive. Many members of Congress - notably excluding those directly involved in relations with India - believe that the U.S.-India deal is a non-issue due to either domestic opposition from the Communist Party in India, or to the belief that Congress already played its part by drawing up and passing the Hyde...

Senate Watch: Rankings
2008-01-22 22:15:00 Our rankings are supersized this month, with blurbs about all 35 races across the country. Our top ten remains largely unchanged, with the open seat race in Mississippi joining the list for the first time. Mitch McConnell's race in Kentucky fell from the top ten after Democrats failed to get a top tier recruit to face the minority leader.1. Virginia (Open-R) [1]: Former Democratic Governor Mark Warner (pictured) continues to have smooth sailing on his way to the Senate. His likely opponent, former Governor Jim Gilmore, has drawn a challenge from Bob Marshall, that further complicates his chances. Gilmore should survive in a party convention, but Warner has shown no signs of slowing. Most polling gives him a lead of 15-20 points, but the Old Dominion is very much a swing state, so Warner shouldn't get too comfortable. VERDICT: Likely Democratic takeover2. New Mexico (Open-R) [3]: While Representatives Steve Pearce (pictured) and Heather Wilson duke it out in the Republican pr...

Clinton Cries, Buys New Hampshire Votes - Obama Fights On
2008-01-09 17:08:00 First congratulations to Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton on her New Hampshire Primary win. Second, congratulations to Senator Barack Obama for the best speech of the night. In this video, I assert that Senator Clinton's crying peformance was just that, a performance. And I say this is so because the Clinton Campaign has a track record of staging people in place at events to ask pre-determined questions. This was done - for example -- in Newton, Iowa, where according to the Grinnell College newspaper... On Tuesday Nov. 6, the Clinton campaign stopped at a biodiesel plant in Newton as part of a weeklong series of events to introduce her new energy plan. The event was clearly intended to be as much about the press as the Iowa voters in attendance, as a large press core helped fill the small venue. Reporters from many major national news outlets came to the small Iowa town, from such media giants as The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, the Associated Press, and CNN.After her...

Biden said: “There is nothing sad about tonight. We are so incredibly proud of you all,” Biden told his supporters. “So many of you have sacrificed for me and I am so indebted to you. I feel no regret. I ain’t goin’ away. “I want to thank the people of Delaware and I’ll be going back to the Senate as chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee,” he said.

Joe Biden Drops Out of Presidential Race
2008-01-04 05:28:00 The second casualty of the night is Joe Biden. After a poor showing in Iowa Joe Biden has decided that he will not continue on to New Hampshire and not continue in the presidential race. Biden had the most foreign policy experience but was never taken seriously as a candidate despite his vast knowledge and years of experience. Earlier this night Senator Chris Dodd also dropped out of the race because of a similarly poor showing in Iowa. There may be more casualties tonight and I expect there will be some on the Republican side as well.

Almost all the reputable polls have shown Obama with momentum and I think it is pretty clear Obama must win Iowa. He is expected to. Hillary Clinton has dropped a massive 7 points in the course one week in this tracking poll. Chances are she will finish third. What that means for her campaign in NH, SC, FL and Super Tuesday remains to be seen. John Edwards, who I expected to win Iowa, is rising but it may not be enough to overtake Obama.

Obama Maintains Iowa Lead By 4 Points In New Poll 32 Percent; Clinton Third
2008-01-02 13:00:00 A new poll released today , January 2nd, has Senator Barack Obama ahead of both former North Carolina Senator John Edwards with 29% and New York Senator Hillary Clinton at 27%. Delaware Senator Joseph Biden received 5%; New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson 2%; Connecticut Senator Chris Dodd received 1%; Ohio Congressman Dennis Kucinich 1%; and 3% were undecided.This new poll comes on the heels of the much criticized Des Moines Register poll which had Obama with a six point lead over Clinton, followed by Edwards. When Republicans were polled on whom they would support in 2008 for the Republican Presidential nomination, former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney led with 30%; followed by former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee with 28%; Arizona Senator John McCain 16%; former Tennessee Senator Fred Thompson 13%; former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani 4%; Texas Congressman Ron Paul 4%; California Congressman Duncan Hunter 1%; and 4% undecided. ?The Republican race continues to be ext...
What is Going on in Iowa?
2008-01-02 10:11:00 Answer: I don't have one freaking clue.About a week ago, my prediction for the Democratic race stood as so: Edwards > Clinton > Obama > Biden. My prediction for the Republican race stood has so: Huckabee > Romney > McCain > Thompson.Over the last week several polls were released showing Clinton, Obama and even Edwards ahead by a few percentage points. Quad City Times shows a three-way tie with all candidates within two points of each other. The American Research Group showed Clinton with a seven point lead. The Des Moines Register showed Obama with a seven point lead. I have my reservations of the latter two. Several polls on the Republican side showed Huckabee and Romney leading by several percentage points while McCain was rising. The American Research Group showed Romney with a nine point lead while the Des Moines Register showed Huckabee with a six point lead. Strategic Vision has McCain at 16%.Fact is, anyone of the top three Democrats and anyone of the top two Republicans in ...

Romney now leads with 27 percent of potential caucus goers supporting him, Huckabee has 23 percent, Fred Thompson 14 percent, John McCain 13 percent, and Rudy Giuliani and Ron Paul both have 5 percent.

NY Times Slams Hillary Clinton's "Experience" Claims
2007-12-27 05:04:00 Well, it's about time. Today's NY Times really took Senator Clinton to the woodshed over her claims of experience, accusing her of speaking in broad generalities and not specifics about her time as First Lady, and in the process damaging the view that she's the most experienced presidential candidate. A must read. The Long RunThe Rsum Factor: Those 8 Years as First LadyBy PATRICK HEALYAs first lady, Hillary Rodham Clinton jaw-boned the authoritarian president of Uzbekistan to leave his car and shake hands with people. She argued with the Czech prime minister about democracy. She cajoled Roman Catholic and Protestant women to talk to one another in Northern Ireland. She traveled to 79 countries in total, little of it leisure; one meeting with mutilated Rwandan refugees so unsettled her that she threw up afterward.But during those two terms in the White House, Mrs. Clinton did not hold a security clearance. She did not attend National Security Council meetings. She was not giv...

2007-12-14 01:36:00 The Republicans put on their last debate before the January 3, 2008 Iowa Caucuses yesterday - in Iowa - and the Democrats followed suit today.I had trouble keeping my eyes open for the Republican debate, which is saying a lot, since the debate was on in the afternoon, I don't usually take siestas, and I had gotten a good night's sleep the night before.But I can't think of anything new I heard from any of the candidates, except maybe Alan Keyes, who is an elegant speaker but somewhat out of his league (if not his mind). Huckabee seemed less exuberant than usual, Guiliani seemed tired, and I still can't help thinking that Mitt Romney may be a Cylon, quietly prepped in some Battlestar Galactica back room.

Compact florescent light bulbs (CFLs) use only a quarter the energy of a regular bulb.
