Hillary Clinton New Years Speech
Hillary Clinton gave a brief speech at a New Year's Party. It was anticipated that Clinton would come back for a midnight kiss with husband Bill.

Darfor Sudan- Activist Simon Deng Answers
Human Rights activist Simon Deng answers the question, "What's going on in Sudan?" From Deng's perspective, the US response to the Sudanese government's actions depends on who is in power and which group is the victim of genocide.
Deng sees the Sudanese people as his family - both Muslims and Christians. Deng explained: when the Muslims are the victims of genocide - the democrats get involved - when the Christians are victims - the Republicans stand up for justice.
From Deng's first-hand perspective, the divide isn't over religion but rather Arab Vs. African identity politics.
The Arabs don't claim brotherhood with the black Muslims but see them as a separate people.

Anyones Game in New Hamphire - The Zogby poll has both Dems and Republicans Close
Democrats – NH Tracking | 1-2/5 | 1-1/4 | 12–31/1–3 |
| Clinton | 31% | 32% | 32% |
| Obama | 30% | 28% | 26% |
| Edwards | 20% | 20% | 20% |
| Richardson | 7% | 7% | 7% |
| Kucinich | 3% | 3% | 3% |
| Biden | 1% | 2% | 2% |
| Dodd | 1% | 1% | 1% |
| Undecided | 6% | 7% | 8% |
"Democrats are drawing the lion's share of the Independents (40% of the total vote) and I have two key observations to make:
- Edwards still holds at 20% (including 21% since Iowa).
- Obama gets the lion's share of leaners, with Edwards receiving a smaller share. Clinton is shut out among leaners.
| Pollster John Zogby will host a live online chat at 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 9, recap new Hampshire results and to discuss its implications on the road to the White House!

"On the Republican side, Romney leads by a hair. McCain's problem is that there are fewer Independents choosing to vote thus far in the Republican primary (just one in four total) to help him match his impressive victory here over George W. Bush in 2000. McCain leads Romney among Independents 48% to 28%, while Romney scores well thus far with Republicans, 33% to 25%. McCain simply needs more Indies but that clearly seems to be Obama's turf.
"Huckabee has climbed a little and will move up a little more. Paul does well in Buchanan country (in the North with 14%) but McCain's iconoclasm and Huckabee's gains so far seem to be squeezing Paul's overall showing."
| Republicans – NH Tracking | 1-2/5 | 1-1/4 | 12–31/1–3 |
| McCain | 31% | 32% | 34% |
| Romney | 32% | 30% | 30% |
| Huckabee | 12% | 12% | 10% |
| Giuliani | 7% | 9% | 9% |
| Paul | 6% | 7% | 7% |
| Thompson | 3% | 3% | 2% |
| Hunter | 1% | <1% | 1% |
| Undecided | 7% | 7% | 6% |

Details of Zogby Poll
Education in 2008
The Poster being lifted at a Mike Huckabee rally on Jan. 2, 2008 led me to believe John Edwards fans broke into the building.
The posters reading, "Ed in 08" were from the Bill Gates foundation. The non-partisan organization's purpose is to keep education on the minds of candidates.

Secret Service Says, "No Press!"
Click play to see a funny out take. The short clip is of me following a candidate and getting turned away by the Secret Service.
Hey, I had to try.
Sometimes, a press pass closes doors that may otherwise be open.

Starting up the event- Shelby County Caucus (Iowa)
The room the caucus was held in soon filled to the brim. The young people of Shelby county were asked before the process began to give up their seats and sit on the floor so that everyone could fit. As was the case in many precincts caucus night, there were not enough ballots to handle the amount of people who showed for the event.
Larry Madson, County Co-chair of the Shelby County Republican Party and the main organizer of the event said that the turn out was about double what was expected.
The kinks were worked out and the event started on time and largely without a hitch.
Other caucuses, however, began late due to the same issues: ballot shortages and an unexpected turnout. Owen Paun, fellow McCain campaigner, informed me that the caucus he attended in Coralville started out 45 minutes late. Also, while Ron Paul made a weak showing in Shelby county with only a handful of votes, he placed fourth in the Coralville caucus (a heavy college area) behind McCain and earned double digit support statewide with 10 percent of the vote.
The Republican caucus began with the Pledge of Allegiance and a prayer lead by a local pastor.
