My election cycle crush, easily beat her opponent Dan Gelber (and that silly St. Bernard scandal) to become Florida's new Attorney General. I joke about her appearance a lot but she didn't take any breaks and worked as hard as any other state-wide candidate I've seen.

I saw Dan Webster this morning on television, waving thank you signs with children from his campaign that were having a good time, and playing nearby. It was a fitting final image of a political effort that turned away, from the hostility that you saw in almost every other race.

Mitt Romney, Rudy Giuliani, and John McCain? all announced their hopes for the presidency well over a year ago. That may be the reason that two of those three have since dropped out.

The Rise of Rubio- Marco Rubio wins Florida Senate Race: Yea, it was the perfect ending to a great senate race and a milestone in a career full of limitless potential. Marc Rubio easily won and his victory speech was just phenomenal. Let http://dev.amu2ias.com/forums/users/stuartchung8/ give you the highlights.

malaysia election The Maverick, while touting his plan to make the Bush tax cuts permanent, wants to implement a 50 cent per gallon gas tax to curb emissions. A plan that was originally brought up by lefty Carl Levin and backed by every Al Gore fan boy.

McCain? also has fallen into the deep and dark belief of global warming. In 2004 McCain? lead hearings about the subject and called on president Bush to do more to fight climate change. He even pointed to studies showing Arctic temperatures were dropping, a stat I'm sure he pulled right out of A Liberal Propagandists Guide to Global Warming.

A man who barely captures one percent in the polls is in 6th place? Most have not heard of the former New Mexico governor, but some of those who have see him as the next Ron Paul. After finally getting the opportunity to participate in a debate, he may be able to set himself up as a libertarian leader. The presidential campaign was no waste for him; he made a (small) name for himself, and is somehow beating Jon Huntsman in a few polls. He is not the ultra-fringe candidate many make him out to be (he was a well-liked governor), and has potential in certain markets.

Folks, I think this time (the November, 2008 election) the stakes are high enough that we need to rise above our "egocentric" and "ethnocentric" considerations. We need to look at what is best for the nation - and more broadly - what is best for the world. This would make us "worldcentric." It is a more evolved stance.
