Presidential Election

The Political MachineOn the road to the White HouseThe irony of the realismThe Political Machine is a PC game. It is designed to be fun. But underneath the covers it is one of the most advanced political simulations that exists. For example, in 2004, The Political Machine 2004 edition accurately predicted the election in June. Stardock's Brad Wardell was asked live on CNBC in June 2004 how the gam

In an effort to seek a better understanding of voting behavior from a psychological perspective, a research team from New York University, headed by Professor Yaacov Trope, and supported by the National Science Foundation, is investigating the cognitive causes of voting behavior, political preferences, and candidate evaluations throughout the course of the 2008 U.S. Presidential election.

Yes, that's McCain's running mate Sarah Palin. And that's Hillary Clinton. Funny how everyone says Sarah Palin is hot while Hillary Clinton, well, isn't. Thoughts? [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]

The election story about the McCain/Palin ticket is defiantly one of momentum. Many states that team Obama thought might be in play for their team suddenly are not. Among these are Georgia, North Carolina and Montana. The flip side is that a number of the Blue states are moving towards the toss-up column. Among these are Michigan, Washington, Minnesota and Pennsylvania.The election is clearly movi

So I don't know about you all, but I think this is set to be the most interesting election in my life time. Either party will represent a historical change for the executive branch. I think that in itself is exciting.I have to admit that I was initially offended by McCain's choice in VP. Does he really think women that supported Hilary are shallow enough to sacrifice their values based on the g

It may never come, but I want to be prepared when it does - the movie based on the 2008 presidential election. Via extensive research (mostly studying pictures and using my vast, encyclopedic knowledge of every actor working today), I present you with the stars of the film, focusing on the current and former candidates; first, let's look at the Republicans:Ron Paul may be having a hard time on the campaign trail, but this was a relatively quick and easy one to come up with. Besides there being a strong physical resemblance, it doesn't hurt that Josef Sommer has played a president in the recent past (X-Men: The Last Stand).Following that same trend, Jurgen Prochnow has some experience playing a political candidate, having portrayed California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is the 2005 made-

We talked the other day about the influence Super Tuesday's results had on the fixed betting odds on the US Presidential election (index.php?option=com_content task=view id=242 Itemid=137). While not much have happened since then, it is surely worth it to take another quick look at the betting markets, since the odds have changed quite significantly. As a matter of fact, I haven't researched a lot about the whole event. I just discuss the odds' movements and betting patterns I see at Betfair. After all, they mean everything to me.

Most large radio operators have seen their shares crumble by more than 25 percent. Among the hardest hit have been Westwood One Inc., which is off 67 percent; Citadel Broadcasting Corp., down 45 percent; and Cox Radio Inc., off 26 percent. The signal continues to fade for investors in radio stocks, but they may want to stay tuned for next year, as a hotly contested presidential election and improved economy are expected to amplify ad revenues.

Thanks Pete Southwood for this flag photo. Lately, I have been hearing many realtor’s and other industry insiders speak about how the 2008 United States presidential elections are affecting the real estate markets. So, how will our pending presidential elections affect our struggling markets in the coming year? Will politics shift the tides in the real estate markets? It is obvious that real estate will be a topic of conversation in the 2008 political elections. Just take a look at the Boston Globes article entitled, Democrats Offer Fixes to Foreclosure Crisis. The more the crisis ripples through the economy, the more it will help Democrats make the case that Republican economic policies have spurned middle- and lower-income families, some campaign watchers said. - Marcella  Bombardieri at the Boston Globe Why so much attention you may ask? Because our real estate markets have slowed from the bottom up. This leaves some areas like the Bay Area’s high end real estate marke

I have a theory that has been proven true. Over the last six months, the Democratic Party Presidential nominees have refused to really attack Hillary Clinton. They backed off dragging her through the mud because deep down they knew she was the inevitable Democratic Party Presidential nominee.

Newt Gingrich, ignoring all his idiosyncrasies, is right as usual. The 2008 Presidential Election is too long, too expensive and verges on “insane.” This fact was clearly demonstrated this week when less than 1 million people watched the Democratic Debate on MSNBC. I think more people will vote for Elvis as a Write-in Candidate.This phenomenon of Presidential Candidates starting excessively early, and relying on uninformed “consultants,” is terrible for our political process. Procedurally, Candidates are reduced to thirty-second answers to prevent what happened to Senator Barack Obama last week. Moreover, these sound-bites are not sufficient to educate the public and so there is perpetual political ignorance.Gingrich was very candid about Obama’s statements. Barack Obama declared that he would dispatch U.S. troops to Pakistan to attack al Qaeda if Pakistani authorities fail to get them. Newt spoke with intellectual honesty rarely seen by someone so partisan: “Obama s

The ABC News Republican Debate was a breath of fresh air (although some disagree) compared to the Democratic panderfest. While the Democrats did not debate issues, they simply engaged in emotional blabber, the Republicans discussed specific policy differences. It was amazing that we could have a debate about the real problems facing this Country without watching snowmen and children cry about global warming.For the first time the American people actually were explained the FairTax. George Stephanopoulos told the American people that the FairTax would create a 23% national sales tax while eliminating virtually all other taxes. For a year now, we have only heard candidates claim they support the FairTax without recognizing that most Americans are clueless what they meant.From the debate, we can gather that Mike Huckabee and Tom Tancredo staunchly support the FairTax. They assert that the National sales tax would be able to generate an enormous revenue stream for the Country simply b

The Democrats may have unleashed a hornet’s nest of harsh criticism that may be impossible to impede. This time the condemnation is not coming from Conservatives, but from the liberal lunatic base. Recently, after realizing that the Democrats only care about power, Cindy Sheehan announced the possibility of running against Nancy Pelosi for the House of Representatives in the next election. Sheehan conditioned her running on whether or not Nancy Pelosi impeaches George Bush and brings the soldiers home from Iraq. While this threat will never cause Nancy Pelosi to bend, it does have very important implications for the 2008 Presidential Election. Like Ralph Nader’s impact in the 2000 election, Sheehan and her supporters may stay home in 2008 or vote for an unelectable third candidate. Consequently, the Democrats will be forced to seek independent voters to come to their side, which often leads to disappointment. Moreover, this recent phenomenon with Sheehan and Pelosi is ve

To start the new segment off right we have to put the 2008 United States Presidential Race into perspective. What makes this election different? Who is running, so far? It is also imperative that we present the entire scope, from electoral votes per state to the tentative time line of events to come.

Paris, April 22 (DPA) Warm, sunny weather and an intensely fought campaign were bringing French voters to the polls in large numbers for the first round of France’s presidential election, which got underway early Sunday. According to figures provided by the Ministry of the Interior, at noon local time, four hours after polls opened, 31.21 percent of France’s 44.5 million registered voters had already cast their ballots. At noon five years ago, the participation rate had stood at only 21.4 percent. In 2002, only 61.6 percent of French voters cast their ballots in the first round of the presidential election. So long were the lines at a polling station in the northeast of Paris that Robert A., a native of Togo, decided to come back later in the day to cast his vote. A first-time voter, he said the election was “important for people like myself, who come from elsewhere.” The election was also important for France and for Africa, he said. “I want a government
