John Edwards Endorses Barack Obama
At a rally in Grand Rapids, Mich., on Wednesday evening, John Edwards endorsed Barack Obama, who was on the stage with him, to be the Democratic nominee for president.
Sounding a theme of a nation divided into parts by walls, Mr. Edwards said, “The reason I am here tonight is that Democratic voters in America have made their choice and so have I.”
Mr. Edwards then went on to say, “There is one man who knows in his heart that it is time to tear down that wall and make one America, Barack Obama.”
Mr. Obama, who had introduced Mr. Edwards as “one of the great leaders we have in the Democratic Party, ” responded by saying he was grateful to him for coming to Michigan and giving his endorsement.
Mr. Obama also noted how Mr. Edwards and his wife, Elizabeth, had emphasized health care as an issue that is of primary concern, then said it would be a major issue in his administration.

John McCain and the Global Warming Train
If John McCain were truly a maverick, he would publicly break from the politically correct culture that demands obedience to its global warming narrative. But sadly, he continues to do the opposite.
Liberals have denominated McCain a maverick because he has taken so many positions contradictory to his party's platform and to the conservative ideology that undergirds it. Now that he is the putative Republican nominee, you don't hear much about his maverick nature, but it's certainly not because he's changed his ways in opposing his party.
Last week, he affirmed his commitment to comprehensive immigration reform, even though earlier he stepped back from it to curry favor with conservatives. One wonders what other shoes will inevitably drop should he win the presidency, especially because he has indicated he would most likely be a one-termer.

An Eye Opener
New Jersey once led the nation, and most of the world, in economic development
and the promise of prosperity. Today, we find our state sliding into third world
status. If that sounds extreme, just look at our economic growth versus
countries like former Soviet Block nations Estonia and Slovakia, South America's
Chile, or the sizzling economy of Ireland. The graph below illustrates our
economic slow down and slide into second class status in the world competition
for prosperity.
New Jersey has not been victim of a natural disaster like Hurricane Katrina or a
tsunami. We have not faced foreign aggression or internal strife. We have been
blessed to not have been plagued by drought, plague or famine. None of these
obstacles to economic development have hampered our progress. There is only one
cause for our declining strength - The State Government.
