Wow! The Obama campaign is doing a terrific job so far don't you think?

I really feel that obama has a really good chance that he will become president. He really took charge when the bail out crisis was going on! Presidents have to juggle many things all at once, and i think he showed that he has what i takes to handle a crisis like that and handle the big debate! Big thumbs up on that one.

Anyways, now i have to get to the subject of teenage politics. So far the amount of teenagers that have taken a part in both campaigns has gotten greater and greater and i am so happy to see that. On the Nick channel they have a series going on about how many kids are actually taking part in the Obama or McCain campaign and its really interesting to see how many teenagers\ kids that are so into this whole politics thing. I thought that i would mention that some of the sixth graders in my school have been following my  footsteps and have been getting more active in politics. i am so happy to hear every time when i walk past the 6th grade L.A teacher and he says that some of his kids are really into that

There was only one foreign policy asked about in Friday night's foreign policy debate: war and potential wars.

Obama began the debate by allowing McCain to get away with claiming the mantle of "accountability" on the issue of a bailout that rewards fraud in financial markets. Why? Because Obama won't oppose the bailout.

Then he let McCain get away with complaining about a huge increase in the size of government, without pointing out that the larger "size" of government is wars and military spending supported by McCain (and Obama).

Obama finally spoke up on a serious and good difference with McCain on taxes, even going so far as to speak in favor of taxing businesses rather than people, but allowed McCain to seize the high ground on earmarks and "pork barrel spending."

In most cases, Obama spoke on one topic and McCain on another. This was not a debate in which both were required to speak on the same points.

We are constantly being asked: "What can we do to stop the 2008 election from being stolen?"

Because we broke many of the major stories surrounding the theft of the 2004 election in Ohio (and because after four years it is abundantly clear that election most definitely was stolen) the flow of inquiries is heartfelt and non-stop. We cannot afford to have this happen again on November 4.

There is a simple answer for what you can do: be a poll worker.

There are additional options: be a poll judge, a poll observer, a member of a video the vote team, a voter registration researcher and assistant, an organizer for a post-election public hearing, and more.

Singer-songwriter Jackson Browne nailed the nuclear power industry on the Colbert Show. Browne is in New York touring for his new album "Time the Conqueror." He is also suing the John McCain campaign for the illegal use of his "Running on Empty." McCain placed the song as background in an attack ad against Barack Obama. (For a full transcript and video, see this page).

The grassroots green energy movement has won a huge---but temporary---victory over the nuke power industry.

The triumph comes at the federal level, while state-wide ratepayers are still being gouged to pay for new reactors in Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas and elsewhere.

But it means that no new major federal loan guarantees will be designated to build new reactors at least until after the November 4 presidential election.

Since last fall the new nuke builders have been badgering Congress to vote them gargantuan subsidies and guarantees. Because they cannot compete in the marketplace with Solartopian technologies such as wind, solar, geothermal and other clean, renewable sources, no Wall Street investors have been willing to back new reactor construction.

In the fall of 2007, the nuke pushers sponsored an Energy Bill with $50 billion in loan guarantees for new reactors. But a grass roots campaign, in concert with NukeFree.org and wide range of national green groups, defeated the proposal. Not a single major environmental organization supported the hand-outs.
