National (primaries) - With the Pennsylvania primary coming up, McCain’s focus is the declining economy. The candidate has labeled the situation a recession, and has been proposing his own cures for the trouble. On the recent remarks made by Obama concerning small-town voters, McCain said Obama was being “elitist” and the children of the people Obama was criticizing are the ones defending our country overseas. McCain also supports new legislation protecting the identity of news sources.

Opinion – I suppose there’s not much argument from either side of the isle concerning our suffering economy, but the question is what McCain would do about it. I think the problem with the comments Obama made is that they were not only elitist, but they were generalizations, and I think McCain was simply making more of them. This article was really disjointed besides the fact it was all about McCain.

National (primaries) - Ever since Obama’s comments, Hilary has been doing her best to cash in on the blunder. For four days straight she’s been coming back to those remarks. However, in a rally today, the crowd seemed fed up with this “contrasting the candidates” approach, and shouted out “no” after a couple of Hillary’s questions, though this may have simply been organized by the Obama campaign. However, the crowd applauded when Hilary admitted her husband’s mistakes.

Opinion – Well, doesn’t surprise me. It’s hard to feel bad for either of these two; they just keep ripping on each other. I’m just ready to find out which one is going to be the final candidate. I’m looking forward to that.
