Huckabee chases Romney backers
Summary: Calling himself an "authentic" conservative, Mike Huckabee appealed for supporters of Mitt Romney to follow him instead of GOP front-runner Sen. John McCain now that Romney is out of the race. Huckabee is the sole top-tier candidate challenging McCain for the Republican presidential nomination. Many conservatives have also questioned Huckabee's conservative record. He drew the ire of fiscal conservatives when he agreed to raise taxes while governor.

Opinion: He doesn't sound really conservative to me. Even if he does, his past makes the argument. However it is, he came out as conservative. Now Romney dropped out, still, we do not know the real reason why. If I were to be in that situation, I think I would act like Huckabee too. It must be good to get some easy votes from the yesterday's opponent's supporters.

McCain claims front-runner status, Dem race not settled
Summary: Democratic voters remain evenly split over which of their candidates they would rather see get the nomination. Sen. Barack Obama won more states Tuesday, but Sen. Hillary Clinton won states with higher delegate counts. McCain capped the night by taking California and its 170 delegates. Clinton took the larger share of California's 370 Democratic delegates.

Opinion: At first, I thought that it was a little unfair for Obama that he won more states but Clinton got more delegates. However, it is interesting to watch the competition between these two. Since I would go for Obama instead of Hillary, I think Obama should win the next one and get that 2025 or whatever the number is to clinch the nomination. I wish Obama to laugh at Hillary's face. That would be amazing

Iran fires rocket from space center
Summary: Iran fired a rocket from its newly inaugurated space center, laying the groundwork for what it says will be the future launch of its first domestically produced satellite. The "Researcher One" rocket is designed to carry a satellite into a low earth orbit. Amid fears in the West that Iran is trying to develop nuclear weapons, some experts believe Iran's space program is possibly a cover to improve its military ballistic missiles.

Opinion: It sounds pretty scary. If Iran really launched a rocket out to the space, that means they have the ability to make any kind of missile. If that is true, we have to worry about them all the time because of the nuclear weapons. It must be good for them, no suicide bombing because they can just push a button and destroy anything. I wish this is just a fake story that Iran government is making.

Google troubled by Microsoft's Yahoo! bid
Summary: Google raised the specter of Microsoft using its proposed acquisition of Yahoo! to gain illegal control over the Internet. Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer said the move marked the "next major milestone for the Washington-based company.The announcement comes with Microsoft and Yahoo! seeking to compete with Google in the lucrative online advertising market, currently worth $40 billion and expected to grow to $80 billion within three years.

Opinion: First of all, I do like Microsoft company. So, I'm all right with them taking over Yahoo. Google is just mad because their opponent just got a huge supporting company. I think they are just jealous. They are not going to control over the Internet because that is almost impossible and even if they are trying to do, somebody will sue Microsoft so they are not going to take over the Internet. It is still an interesting news that Microsoft buying Yahoo.
