Edwards Backs Obama


Remember Senator John Edwards of North Carolina? Well he has partaken in at least two Presidential elections in the past few years once as a VP candidate to John Kerry and this previous year as one of the many Democratic candidates. Yesterday Senator Edwards put his money on Barrack Obama instead of Hillary. His endorsement of the candidate might have secured Obama the win for the Democratic Presidential nominee. Howard Dean, one time Presidential candidate himself and head of the Democratic Party, wants to see a clear candidate emerge by June. He may not have to wait that long. With Clinton trailing Obama by a hundred some delegates it is almost certain that her campaign is winding down. Clinton reportedly said to reporters, "I have a great deal of respect for Senator Edwards, he and I have a lot in common … I imagine that Senator Edwards’ endorsement will be of some help to Senator Obama in Kentucky, but I think that what matters are the people who actually vote." And we will have to see where it is that vote lands. For this and other news please go to www.foxnews.com or www.cnn.com.

Olympic Issues


This year most Americans and a few other nations are wondering whether or not they should boycott the Beijing Olympics. The Olympics themselves are about the world and its people as a whole, where race or religion should not mix or converge. Only hard work, skill, determination, and competition should rule the games. However, Senator Sam Brownback is about to call on President Bush to boycott the opening ceremonies of the Olympics in Beijing. Brownback reportedly believes that the Chinese are pressuring American hotel chains in China to not provided guests with appropriate Internet access during their stay. A source told FoxNews.com "This is very sensitive because we won't be able to provide any details as to where we got this information. But he will bring it up," the source said.
