3 1/2 Months Ago, Clinton Campaign Predicted "Landslide"Hubris n. : Overbearing pride or presumption; arrogance.Back on November 15--a mere 130 days ago--the Clinton campaign was of a very different mindset than the one exhibited today.Cocky, brash--dare we say it?--arrogant and in the full throes of hubris, the campaign was more of a Clinton Early Inauguration Committee than a campaign braintrust.This is what Clinton chief strategist Mark Penn told The Hill on November 15 2007.Mark Penn, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton’s (D-N.Y.) chief strategist, said Thursday that the Democratic front-runner would get 360 electoral votes if the election were held tomorrow and she faced former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R).The Clinton campaign was totally convinced that they would roll over all comers,

Intramural è lo pseudonimo dietro il quale si cela Denver Dalley, ex chitarrista dei Desaparecidos e leader degli Statistics. "This Is A Landslide" è il primo disco di Intramural, coprodotto con l'amico Sam Shacklock. Prima che questo lavoro raggiungesse la forma definitiva è passato parecchio tempo, più di quattro anni. Ma il risultato finale è eccellente. E' un disco particolare questo, non bene ascrivibile ad un determinato genere musicale. Elettro-rock, ma non solo. Da lì si spazia esplorando territori vicini (non di rado si avvicina all'ambient), ma sempre nell'alveo dell'elettronica. I brani sono undici e in ognuno troviamo una voce diversa, ad eccezione di "Inspired", solo strumentale. Dieci cantanti, provenienti da altrettante band, hanno prestato la loro voce per questo albu

Early and unofficial results show the Palang Prachachon (People Power) party loyal to Thaksin Shinawatra has won an outright parliamentary majority in Sunday's election. The PPP has taken 220 of the 400 seats in constituency voting, and has won 35 of the 80 party-list seats. If those results are confirmed in official vote-counting Sunday night and Monday, the People Power party would easily capture more than the 241 seats needed to form a government itself - with no need of a coalition. Observers cautioned there are several roadblocks ahead, even after final vote-counting is confirmed. For one thing, there are dozens of challenges alleging vote fraud, many against PPP candidates. It must be stressed the results are unofficial, and based on a combination of exit polls and early vote results trickling in as reported by news media at polling stations. Although Bangkok media agreed that early counting gave the PPP an outright majority, pollsters who conducted exit

Vladimir Putin proves Bush's soul searching judgment may very well have been inaccurate; his United Russia party is poised to win in a landslide amidst cries of vote rigging by the Kremlin;Campaigning for Russia's parliamentary election ended on Friday with President Vladimir Putin's party on course for a landslide victory and opposition groups voicing fears of widespread ballot-rigging.[...]One of Putin's most vocal critics, former chess champion Garry Kasparov, said the vote would be illegitimate because, he said, the Kremlin would rig the result.Officials deny any such rigging campaign and Putin has said he expected the election to be fair and transparent.Kasparov, who served five days in prison this week for organizing an illegal demonstration, urged voters to spoil their ballot papers on Sunday in protest."We must show people that these elections are absolutely illegal and illegitimate," Kasparov told a news briefing. He is not running in the election and his opposition coalit

Look at this... Looks like someone's had some dodgy Polish builders in. But this is a massive landslide in Australia that killed no one. It's a coalmine and high levels of rain caused water to build up that put too much stress on the earth, and it slide away. What a great country, it's so chilled that a hug amount of land can collapse, and no one's in a panic. Still, coal production is down, which means pretty soon they won't have as many briquettes to use on the barbies. No that's what they'll panic. [[ This is a content summary only.
