The party that governed Mexico for 71 consecutive years has rebounded in local elections, returns showed on Monday, and a Poll had it jumping into the lead for next year's national congressional vote. Nearly complete results from the southern state of Guerrero showed the Institutional Revolutionary Party recapturing mayorships in the major tourist centers of Acapulco and Zihuatanejo while holding onto the state capital, Chilpancingo. The party known as the PRI appears to have benefited from splits in the leftist opposition and by the government's struggle with drug Violence and a slowing economy. The PRI has struggled since losing its seven-decade grip on Mexico's presidency in 2000. It finished third in the 2006 presidential and congressional races. But a Poll published Monday by El Universal newspaper showed a clear PRI lead for the 2009 congressional elections. Forty-four percent of those polled in late September said they would vote for the PRI if congressional elections were held now. President Felipe Calderon's conservative National Action Party was favored by 34 percent, and the leftist Democratic Revolution Party by 19 percent. The PRI and National Action had been tied at 40 two months ago. ...

In Bill O'Reilly's totally inadequate "investigation" of Senator Barack Obama, The Obama Chronicles , viewers have learned very little about Barack Obama or his accomplishments. The last two installments, of this blatant campaign initiative to help the McCain/Palin ticket, focused on Obama's work as a community organizer and, of course, his connection to a grossly misrepresented Michael Pflager. Tonight, on a demented roll, BOR tied Obama to Pfleger, Farrakhan, David Duke and finally "every bigot and tyrant in history". Last night David Mendell returned to supposedly discuss Obama's career as a community organizer in Chicago's Southside. Although Mendell was able to briefly mention some of the successful projects Obama worked on, O'Reilly was only interested in the $250,000 obtained for Father Pfleger's Church. After Mendell explained the important role of churches in the community, O'Reilly admitted grudgingly that Pfleger had done some good but then when on to trash the community. After offering racial stats, he noted that Violence there was 80% higher than the rest of Chicago concluding that Obama's work didn't make any difference Here's the video Tonight was devoted to Father Pfleger and Father Edward Beck was on hand to defend Pfleger's and stress his extreme devotion to the community. However, O'Reilly, committed to getting McCain's Poll numbers up, did his distortion routine. He claimed Pfleger believes America is a racist ... Source: www.kansas.com --- 25 days ago
September 1987 was a month of ruin and renewal for Joe Biden. Then a three-term senator from Delaware, Biden saw his bid for the Democratic nomination for president in tatters after he had been caught cribbing from other politicians' speeches. He exited the race amid a chorus of Washington chatter that the presidency would never be his. Yet just as his candidacy was ending, Biden, as chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, was leading the Democrats in a successful battle against Robert Bork, President Reagan's nominee to the Supreme Court. And soon after, Biden underwent surgery on two brain aneurysms. Had he continued running for president, friends say, the rigors might have exacerbated his health problems and even killed him. The tumult of that period transformed Biden: He settled down into a role as a statesman of the Senate, becoming a serious student of policy and government. As the Democrats' point man on crime and as a champion of the Violence Against Women Act, among other bills, Biden became a close ally of labor unions, civil rights leaders and women's groups. While he drew ire from some feminists over the treatment of Anita Hill during the Clarence Thomas hearings, in 1991, he was also the only member of the Judiciary Committee to emerge with favorable marks from a majority of Americans, according to a Gallup Poll. ...

By Pamela Gentry, Senior Political Producer Oct. 10, 2008 – I think it’s time law enforcement took a look at the behavior of Gov. Sarah Palin and Republican presidential nominee Sen. John McCain for inciting fear, hate and Violence. Palin and McCain are going beyond running a “negative campaign.” They’ve launched a rally they hope will attract the most radical and racist folks into the fold. So what’s the motive? McCain has admitted he can’t and won’t continue to talk about the issues of the economy, jobs and healthcare … because that’s Obama’s strong suit. He only scores well in the polls when it comes to fighting terrorists, so he’s decided to see if he can link Obama to domestic terrorism and in the process improve his political standing. The only alternative the 72-year-old has now – with fading popularity and falling Poll numbers – is to create an atmosphere of fear – not just for voters but for Obama. McCain knows that he and Palin are reaching at straws, but these are desperate times, and McCain has decided on desperate measures to keep his campaign alive. I wonder how many Americans really think Obama could be the Democratic nominee without being fully vetted. So, clearly, these latest tactics are a form of intimidation and fear-mongering. After hearing McCain’s remarks in Waukesha, Wis., on Thursday (where he continued to question, “Who is Obama?), I called the FBI and asked that if something were to happen following one ...
Granted the focus of today's news is overwhelmingly on the bailout and the presidential race, but there is also big news on how Americans are now seeing the war effort. The pendulum has swung from despair to hopeful belief and this is important news that impinges on the elections. Rasmussen released new data on September 30 that shows that more Americans are now viewing the war as a success and a growing number think that things will get even better in the near future. This is the highest support that Rasmussen has seen since they began to report on this issue. Curiously, news of the war has completely dropped off the radar of the Old Media. In a national telephone survey Monday night, 41% said history will rate the war in Iraq a success versus 39% who said it will be seen as a failure, with 20% undecided. These findings echo those of the previous two weeks... By contrast, in August of last year, 57% believed history would judge the U.S. mission in Iraq a failure, and only 29% disagreed. The new Rasmussen Poll also finds that more Americans feel that the war will get even better as time goes on. Nearly half of voters (48%) also believe the situation in Iraq will get better in the next six months versus 22% who believe it will get worse. Twenty-three percent (23%) expect things to stay about the same. The number of those who see the situation getting better has been steadily rising throughout the summer as Violence has gone down in ...
Filed under: Marketing and advertising , NIKE, Inc'B' (NKE) This post is part of our Ads Gone Bad series. Share your thoughts and memories of this ad in the comments, and be sure to check out our other posts on marketing gone wrong. Bloggers weren't kind to Nike's campaign for its Hyperdunk basketball shoes in late July. Three printed ads produced by Wieden+Kennedy were blamed as fostering anti-gay messages. Most of the ads depicted one basketball player dunking over another in vaguely homo-erotic positions (mostly with one player's face in the other's crotch) with 'trash talk'-type slogans such as "Punks Jump Up," "Say Hello," "That Ain't Right." The hot-button line was from a popular 1992 rap song, "Punks Jump Up to get Beat Down," by Brand Nubian. The song was a good theme for basketball courts but for one thing; its lyrics, which advocated Violence against homosexuals and featured the line, "I ain't down with gays." At first, Nike supported the ad campaign. But when bloggers took the shoe giant to task for its "ethical sloppiness," Nike and its ad agency backed off and decided to withdraw the ads "to underline our ongoing commitment to supporting diversity in sport and the workplace." Nike's move coincided with an ad-industry-wide debate about the use of gay stereotypes. Mars, Inc. also pulled an ad during the same week based on its criticism from national homosexual groups.
