After enduring two terms of Republican folly, America is in need of change. I, and a majority of Americans, are frankly quite fed up with, among many things, the prominence of special interests in politics, the misguided war effort, and infringement of our civil liberties.
Barack Obama offers the greatest contrast to the current administration in his promise for reform across the board. He is a candidate who we can respect and someone we can admire. He has the ability to restore America’s prestige in the international arena, and to reclaim the faith of its people.

John McCain stands as a clear frontrunner in this year’s election. Unlike other candidates, McCain does not sacrifice his views on national issues to fit in with his party; he is infamous among Conservatives for not being a stereotypical Republican. Boasting over 30 years of legislative experience, McCain thoroughly understands the United States political system. He is an honest leader who values America’s best interest above all else.

Preliminary hearings have begun for John Odgren’s murder trial, who in January 2007 allegedly stabbed a fellow student to death in a school bathroom. The main focus of the hearings is how Odgren’s Asberger’s syndrome may have influenced the murder.
Odgren’s attorney, Jonathan Shapiro, requested that the judge throw out the first degree murder indictment because he says a prosecutor did not complete thorough questioning on Odgren’s mental state.
