This story was written by Colin Kavanaugh, Daily PennsylvanianDuring the final presidential debate on Wednesday night, fewer than a dozen students crowded around a living room TV, tuned in to Fox News and cheered on their candidate: Sen.

And they re stanley cup well aware that they re fighting against the tide. It s a great challenge, said College junior Zac Byer, president of the College Republicans. But we re dedicated, intelligent and concerned about the issues. The group s relatively small size, numbering about 50 active members, pales in comparison to the Penn Democrats, one of the largest organizations on campus. However, Byer said he believes the group is strengthened by its size and the unity of its members. The group seeks to unify members around a message of small government and opens its doors to Republicans of all leanings on fiscal stanley thermobecher and social issues. We don t want to limit students into a distinct category of Republicanism, Byer said. The diversity of the group was evident at Wednesday s debate party, when McCain and Democratic nominee Barack Obama were asked about their vice-presidential selections.

President Bush is opening the White House this week to black leaders including pastors and legislators, a second-term overture to a community that overwhelmingly opposed his re-election. I believe in fresh starts, said Rep.

Ciph McCain Touts Palin s National Security Chops
This post originally appeared on National Journal.You ve heard the phrase a million times. It s become an environmental earworm.Now, nearly 100 years after Patrick Geddes published Cities in Evolution, the book many assert gave rise to theconcept of Think Globally, Act Locally, that phrase now may have actual, practical meaning. Among the most interesting parts stanley cups of the National Climate Assessment is its emphasis on what local and state governments can do to adapt to climate change and minimize its potential ravages.Consider this section: Building codes and landscaping ordinances could be updated to improve energy efficiency, conserve water supplies, protect against insects t stanley cups hat spread disease such as dengue fever , reduce susceptibility to heat stress, and improve protection against extreme events. The last time I checked, neither Congress nor the federal government determined building codes or reworked ordinance on local water supplies or energy efficiency.The report also emphasizes the need for flexibility and resilience in the face of ongoing and future impacts. As anyone who has been through a catastrophic weather event can tell you, FEMA can help, but what cities and states must do in the immediate aftermath is be flexible and resilient. Neither are priorities in Washington just now. Not on climate change or anything else.

The Georgia congressman and civil rights icon who once marched beside Martin Luther King Jr. will find himself walking among a different congregation on Saturday. Rep.

AP Photo/Richard Lewis With President Obama s announcement that he is reversing former President George W. Bush s restrictions on federally-fund stanley isolierkanne ed embryonic stem cell research, we decided to take a look at CBS News polling on the topic and found the Americans have generally shown their support for the research.In 2007, the last time CBS News asked the question, 65 percent said they approved of medical research using embryonic stem cells compared to 25 percent who disapproved. At the time, 74 percent of Democrats approved as did 54 percent of Republicans.When CBS News first asked about medical research using embryonic stem cells in 2004, 50 percent approved of the idea. Support for it has been on the rise since then with 56 percent approving in 2005 and 59 percent in 2006.However, it should be noted that a recent Gallup poll comes at the question a different way -- specifically asking about the issue of government-funded research. In a poll last month, 52 percent said they support fewer or no restrictions on federally-funded research and 41 percent they support keeping the same restrictions or not funding the research at all. Those figures were a dip from a 2007 Gallup poll in which 60 percent of Americans said they supported fewer or no restriction stanley mug s on federally-funded research.

CBS From CBS News John Bentley:PHILADELPHIA ndash; Race is an issue that I believe this nation cannot afford to ignore right now, Barack Obama said today, as he delivered one of the most important speeches of his candidacy, confronting the issues of race in presidential politics and his own relationship with a controversial minister, Jeremiah Wright. Reverend Wright s comments were not only wrong but divisive, divisive at a time when we need unity, Obama said, racially charged at a time when we need to come together to solve a set of monumental problems. Wright has received criticism for comments he s made from the pulpit, such as saying that blacks should condemn America for treating our citizens as less than human, and that the U.S. brought 9/11 on itself because of its foreign policy. Obama admitted he heard Wright preach things he did not agree with while he was a member of Wright s church for nearly 20 years. As imperfect as h stanley cup e may be, he has been like family to me, Obama said of Wright. I can no more disown him than I can disown the black community.
