Even though the tea party movement is growing in small portions it is improving the Republican Party and preparing them for a lead in the fall election. Voters are going to have a large selection of candidates to choose from this fall.

Tea part activists as well as other conservatives pushed a few GOP candidates forward during the primary elections last Tuesday. Now the National Republican leaders are trying to tally up the overall winners to determine who could possibly be in the lead. Although it is possible to win it this fall, each nominee will need to look forward and make sure they stay in line because every eye will be waiting for them to fail and be eliminated.

The Democratic Party is not as strong this time around. Sarah Palin endorsed Nikki Haley. Why would Palin promote her? Haley has had her foot in the door for a long time. She is determined to win this race too. The top Republican for Haley to run against will be Gresham Barrett. On June 22, we should have the results on that tight race against candidate vs. candidate.

Sharon Angle, from Nevada, won the challenge against Majority Leader Harry Reid for the fall. There are so many different reasons that Sharon Angle has to celebrate. She is working hard toward Social Security and the federal energy and education departments. She has unorthodox views and some voters appreciate that.

Out of the above named, Nikki Haley is not as well known as say Gresham Haley however, this will not stop Nikki from running a good race.

On Tuesday, Waterville Mayor, Paul LePage also won the GOP nomination for governor. This places the mayor on the road to success.

Sen. Bob Bennett of Utah was rejected for three terms is now trying to step back in the GOP convention. However, running against Libertarian conservative Rand Paul may prove to be difficult because Rand Paul has already had a victory in the Republican Party. Senate Primary and Governor Charlie Crist was forced to withdraw from the GOP senate primaries in Florida.

The now Democratic Senator Arlen Specter is not finding too many votes her way. She was once running as a Republican but switched to the Democratic Party for this election. She didn’t make it through the re-nomination bid in Pennsylvania however she did manage to make it in Arkansas.

To sum up the tea party, the conservative activists are now pushing the Republican Party more so then the Democratic party. While the liberal activists are pushing the Democratic party, according to Alan Abramowitz, an Emory University Political Scientist.

Unfortunately, if either one of these sides end up pushing their party too far it will end up to be a mess when November rolls around.

The Republican officials in Kentucky and Nevada as well as any other place where they are campaigning will need to make sure that there are not hard feelings with the non-established nominees otherwise it could affect the final call.

oucher today announced that the United States was lifting its arms embargo against Sudan and removing the troubled African nation from a list of terror-supporting states, CNN reports.

Sudan’s government is directly responsible for the ethnic cleansing that has left more than one million Sudanese displaced and some 10,000 dead over the last several months, according to Human Rights Watch. The International Crisis Group issued a report last week claiming that the “best-case scenario” in Sudan included 100,000 dead. Boucher justified the reclassification, saying Sudan’s government had “‘remarkably’ improved the information it has shared with the Bush administration about Islamic militants.”

“Jemera Rone, a Human Rights Watch official who has worked on the Darfur situation, said it was ‘just appalling’ for the U.S. government ‘to make any gesture toward Sudan like this.’ She also predicted the Sudanese government would hold it out to critics as ’some sort of U.S. stamp of approval’ for its actions,” the Chicago Tribune reports. »07:17 »No Comments »0 TrackBack(s) »Send Entry Posted by: prioritywire

Globalization| WORLD BANK CORRUPTION MAY TOP $100 BILLION “Corrupt use of World Bank funds may exceed $100 billion,” Reuters reports, “and while the institution has moved to combat the problem, more must be done, the chairman of the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee [Sen. Richard Lugar (R)] said on Thursday.”

Jeffrey Winters, an associate professor at Northwestern University told the committee that “when other multilateral development banks are included, the total rises to about $200 billion,” and that the World Bank’s anti-corruption effort was having ‘minimal effects’.” Winters suggested that the banks “should all focus on supervising and auditing their lending. ‘The lion’s share of the theft of development funds occurs in the implementation of projects and the use of loan funds by client governments,’ he said.” A World Bank spokesperson questioned Winters’ research. »21:31 »No Comments »0 TrackBack(s) »Send Entry Posted by: prioritywire Modified on 19 May 2004 at 21:44
