While surfing some news channel yesterday, got a glimpse of the ad, “Pappu Vote Nahi Karta”. It’s a film by Elections Commission to attract voters for its Delhi Election on 29th November’08. Somehow it caught my attention as it was sort of different from the normal government or political campaigns. Instead of being preachy it [...]
The Benchmark of Elections
Elections are the central institution of democratic representative governments. Why? Because, in a democracy, the authority of the government derives solely from the consent of the governed. The principal mechanism for translating that consent into governmental authority is the holding of free and fair elections. All modern democracies hold elections, but not all electio

(openPR) - Toronto, Canada—November 19th, 2008—One of the great side effects of this year’s US Presidential elections has been the fact that it has made the common man stand up and take a note about his or her rights. You can call it the Obama effect but ever since the former Senator and now President-elect Obama started his campaign and asked the people of US to be more involved in the grow
More was decided on November 4, 2008 than who would be the next President of the United States: pay day loans also came under fire in two states, Arizona and Ohio. Just to make things clear, I think these types of loans are the absolute worst. They have extremely high effective interest rates (up to [...]

I believe Congress always got on with Republicans, while BJP got on with Democrats, so it looks like a change of government at next elections. Perhaps this explained the haste with which they signed the nuclear deal? Maybe both knew they would be out of power soon. So it looks like Obama’s administration will be in overdrive to wipe Congress from power and ensure BJP and its allies will receive
A number of communities, mostly in Nebraska, passed ballot initiatives on Tuesday allowing them to opt out of state water safety standards that mandate the fluoridation of local drinking water supplies.

Bill Clinton left me a voicemail yesterday, asking me to support Barack Obama.

The day before the 2008 U.S. election is finally here. After two long years of listening to the campaigns, the wait is almost over.

Friends, families and even strangers have argued their side to the point of division in some cases. Perhaps a song can remind us to stay

American elections are always something to behold. The fanfare and hullabaloo that goes on is amazing.

As in every presidential election in the U.S., there’s controversy over campaign financing. Some say that Obama’s lead in the polls, and his likely election victory, result from his superior spending rather than the intrinsic attractiveness of his policies or character.

It is quite a well-known fact that the state of the economy has helped Obama with his U.S. presidential campaign considerably, not least because his focus from the get-go has always been on the economy, whereas McCain’s has not.

Ok so on the surface, the election has little to do with debt. Sure. But since our country is in even more debt than I am, I feel obligated to try to make an educated decision with my vote.
