Thomas: Global Warming Not a Big Campaign Issue | Newsweek Politics: Campaign 20…: Apr 25, 9:49pm 4 reviews environment, politics, election
http://www.newsweek.com/id/133652; From the page: "There is an enormous class divide on the subject. The chattering classes obsess about greenhouse emissions. The rest of the country, certainly the older and less well-off voters, can't be bothered. Slow food to most people means that the waitress at the local IHOP is falling behind. The politicians duck the issue, or so it seems."

Canadian Bacon: Mar 6, 10:11am 1 review politics, election
http://www.tnr.com/politics/story.html?id=bea3209f-fc82-46a1-9884-75961373c1fd; WTH, why is Canada involved in the US election. Sigh. From the page: "An unassuming foreign country has injected itself into the U.S. presidential race: Canada. And though the United States' neighbor to the north used to pine for the day when someone in Washington would actually acknowledge its existence, with the controversy swirling over the contentious NAFTA discussion between Barack Obama's economic advisor, Austan Goolsbee, and a Canadian diplomat in Chicago, the government of Canada isn't enjoying its central star role in the U.S. presidential race. And yet, one big question remains unanswered about NAFTA-gate: What, exactly, was the Canadian government trying to do? Prime Minister Stephen Harper's Conservative government, which came to power two years ago, has worked hard to improve relations with Washington. Harper has said that he wants Canada's voice to be heard on the international stage, but not this way. For the Harper government, the relationship with the United States is the top foreign policy objective, and right now, all the optics are bad."

A GOP ace in the hole?&-&-&The Washington Times, America's Newspaper: Feb 10, 4:36pm 1 review politics, election
http://www.washingtontimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080124/EDITORIAL/...; Wow, I wonder what the Barrett Report say. From the page: "Beyond the melodrama of Sen. Hillary Clinton's tears-on-her-pillow triumph in New Hampshire and her gaming victory in Nevada lies the profoundly disturbing question of the Clintons' hidden record of suspected crimes. It's that very record which likely prompted Sen. John Kerry's sudden endorsement of Sen. Barack Obama just two days after Mrs. Clinton's first primary win, followed by two more supportive votes from ranking congressional Democrats."

Low on hope, but theyll still vote - Los Angeles Times: Feb 4, 11:02pm 1 review politics, voting, election
http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/la-na-youth5feb05,0,5035991.story; From the page: "Youth turnout, especially in the Democratic race, soared beyond all expectations in early primaries and caucuses. Turnout rates for the under-30 crowd tripled in Iowa and Florida, compared with 2000. In New Hampshire, a striking 43% of eligible youth made it to the polls, up from 28% eight years earlier."
