President Obama will be trying to move on to a second term and one of the Republicans will be trying to stop that. However, the President is heading into this year-long campaign with only one-third of Americans (33%) giving the job he is doing positive ratings while two-thirds (67%) give him negative marks. This is almost unchanged from last month when 32% gave him positive ratings and 68% gave him negative ones. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20100517/NY0625...

Mr. Marc Cooper, Your article "Hillary's Ignominious Finale" is an irrational character analysis of Senator Hillary Clinton and a public exhibition of your political ignorance and intellectual naivety. If you think the Clinton Era is over, you are ignorant of the facts. You are ignorant of the long term goals of Senator Hillary Clinton, because the end of the current presidential campaign is not the end of her political career. Did Senator John McCain succeed in his previous presidential campaign before 2008? But today, John McCain is the frontrunner in the race for the Republican nomination and now leads Barack Obama in the national poll for president. How old is he? Are you ignorant of the political history of America? The fact is, the prevailing political realities in Americaa do not favour Senator Hillary Clinton and the latest Bloomberg/Times poll shows that the majority of American voters are not ready to elect a female president, but 80 percent of them are ready...

25 Jan 2008 01:13 Africa/Lagos Latino Officials Deliver Wake-Up Call CHICAGO, Jan. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- An Illinois Coalition of Latino Elected Officials today called on liberal Democratic colleagues to endorse qualified Hispanic candidates or not expect their support in return.

"It is unfortunate that so many non-m...

Dear Orikinla , You and I surprised a lot of people tonight! In the days after Iowa, I turned to you and asked you to stand with me. When I needed you most, you came through with flying colors. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you. All the best, Hillary Clinton God Bless New Hampshire for Voting for Hillary Clinton We thank the Almighty God who gave us victory in New Hampshire. After Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton lost to Senator Barack Obama in the Iowa Caucuses, the legions of the anti-Clinton cult increased and swarmed the American mainstream news media to frustrate her and accelerate the momentum of the over-hyped Barack Obama into New Hampshire, to defeat Hillary Clinton again. But, I did not give up my support for her good cause. I continued my campaign for her victory on my blogs and websites and other sites. I am learning many lessons of life from American politics. The lessons I know would be of immense benefit to my country, Nigeria, and me. Before the polls, I went dow...
