[Barack Obama]'s big win in Iowa proved that the first viable African American candidate can appeal to white voters. "They said this day would never come," he told the cheering crowd. "You've done what the cynics said you couldn't do. [Hillary Clinton] began her career working for the Children's Defense Fund and has, indeed, championed liberal and feminist causes. She likes to say that she has fought all her life to end child poverty. But her husband's signing of the welfare reform law that did away with Aid to Families with Dependent Children enraged Hillary's former mentor, Marian Wright Edelman, and "made a mockery," in Edelman's words at the time, of Bill Clinton's claim to want to help poor children. [Mike Huckabee] refers to [Romney] as someone who "looks like the guy who laid yo...

Both Presidential candidates have strong records of support for law enforcement; however, the best way to help fight crime and assuage the economic crisis may be found in other policies. On the Armed Services Committee, McCain has called for more defense spending and insisted military interventions be designed to achieve victory; he criticized the Clinton administration for using air power alone and ruling out ground troops in Bosnia and for not using "all necessary force" in Kosovo.

", originally self-published by Michael Shellenberger and Ted Nordhaus in 2004, argues that environmentalism is unable to deal with climate change and should "die" so that a new paradigm can emerge that can. The essay draws on history, political philosophy, and interviews with over two dozen leaders of large and small environmental organizations and foundations, including the Sierra Club, the Hewlett Foundation, and the Natural Resources Defense Council. Shellenberger and Nordhaus suggest that the 20 year failure to reduce emissions is due in part to the unwillingness of environmental leaders to expand their conception of 'the environment' to include humans and economic development. Since this essay was published Shellenberger and Nordhaus authored Break Th...

Like most Americans, Orfalea support the two-state solution to the Israel-Palestine dispute. He don't believe in America right or wrong, nor do he believe in Israel right or wrong. Moreover, he have been sharply and publicly critical of Israeli polices, such as settlements, Palestinian actions, suicide bombings, and American abetting of or indifference to both sides' worst instincts. Long past his lifetime and after many decades of healing and self-identity as separate nations, ultimate justice would create a unified state where settlers could stay and and refugees come home, where Arabs and Jews would be treated as equals, not only in law, but in practice. A sense of urgency about that problem, he don't doubt Barack Obama shares. It's endemic to Obama's worldview and sense of the crisi...
