In Latest Poll, Good News for Both Clintons

Whom do you know in this upcoming election? The presidential election of 2008 is narrowing down and if you were to vote, who would you vote for? The name Clinton, is a very popular name in this coming election, but do you know why? I have nothing against Hillary Clinton, but I am not a huge fan of here campaign for presidency. In recent polls, it shows that Clinton has and advantage.

I think each of the candidates’ has had decent proposal in the issues we have in the U.S. and during election time I hope voters won’t just go with a name they heard of. Clinton advantage in the polls, I believe, is something that has nothing to do with the election and that she only winning because her husband was an ex-president, she is a female, and she has been in the public media eye for many non-related political issues.

I am not a huge fan of poll taking considering they are bias on so many different levels. It seems that popularity wins over issues. Hillary has not shown any real plans on fixing the issues in the US, but has left it open. Yet how is she winning? There seems to be more “noise” with her campaign, that we are missing what is important.

News and media sometimes cover what sells and this election shows that in the polls. If they took a poll and ask people whom are the candidates’ running for president, I bet most people can name three Clinton, Giuliani, and Obama.

"The Presidential Candidates on Health Care"

This article is concerning Americans Health Care. One thing is for certain is that we need a new health care system. For being one of the top governments in the world we are not in the best of conditions when it comes to our country's health.

In this 2008 election we have both the Democrats and the Republicans parties plans on how there going to change and fix our health system. This article shows the ideas of all these candidates on how to get everyone medical coverage. Democrats are in a race on seeing who has the best idea, as for the Republicans are making promises of coverage on a budget. Most of the 2008 candidates can talk the talk, but we'll see who can walk the walk when after the election. Each of the candidates has a very well written plan, but it doesn't show in detail how there going to make this happen.

For those who are planning to vote this coming up election just remember that words looks great when written on paper, but like with any document we must read between the lines. We know we need a new health care system, but what price are we willing to pay? Vote for the candidate whom you trust, not who says it best.
