She's not satisfied with wearing a pro-McCain t-shirt; she wants a sarcastic political t-shirt. Because manufacturers can print t-shirts as they are ordered and do not have to mass produce them, a shirt can be designed, printed and ready to ship within 30 minutes of a candidate's gaffe.

He out-raised her, he outspent her, and in the end, he ousted her. As it turns out, the best barometer of an election is fund-raising, even more accurate than Tarot cards, astrological charts, or reading the political tea leaves.

Great leaders are those men and woman who can take controversy and turn them into great opportunities, and the problems of the liberal party have created an outstanding opportunity for Stephane Dion. As a result, this is Stephane Dion's defining moment as a leader, and how he reacts to the controversy within his party, will define him as leader. If he can emerge from the ashes of controversy then he has a chance to capture the hearts of Canadians, inspire a nation, and quite possibly become Canada's next Prime Minister.

Differences in gender, language, culture and above all nationality and race are anathema to the profits of great merchants.

Not only were the wins remarkable, but the margin of victory was nothing short of staggering. In every state, the ratio was at least two to one; in some states, it was even more lopsided, by as much as four to one.

And while they may present a more homogenous portrait than their Democratic counterparts, they also exuded a level of professionalism and clarity in their policy positions that reflected badly on the Democrats. The Republicans, quite frankly, behaved like grownups, and in doing so helped suggest to voters that Democrats Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama had acted like peevish teenagers at their debate three nights earlier.

Will presidential frontrunner Hillary Rodham Clinton continue to win primaries throughout 2008, perhaps earning the nomination of her party, and even being elected to the Oval Office? Is the country really ready for a woman at the top of the charts and the free world? Is this the right woman for the "ultimate political CEO position?"

The first calendar month is named after the two-faced Roman god Janus. It is a month when we look back at the past year and forward to the year to come. It is a time when more than 70 percent of us make New Year's resolutions. We remember what worked or didn't work for us in the past. We take stock of ourselves and assess our need for change in the new year. We remember past relationships and we assess potential new ones. We contemplate our future course. We either like the path we are on or decide a fresh new path is our best answer.

The massive amounts of wealth required to mount even an unsuccessful run for office have effectively eliminated most of the qualified candidates who might like to seek office. Now, many may say those who are running are the best contenders because they have years of experience. But, those were years spent as professional politicians. The need is for new people with significant amounts of experience outside politics even if they have little money. Here is a plan to control campaign spending so these people can run for office.
