Although many people believe that the former US Senator from Alaska, Mike Gravel, is running a Quixotic campaign for President, he is making his presence felt at every chance. While his colleagues have taken some jabs at the front runner, Gravel has leveled serious blows and he makes his views known whenever he [...]

In the early 1950s, Detroit owned the automotive world. Cars were big, heavy, and fast! They had huge, monstrously powerful gas-guzzling engines. A visionary auto executive at the nearly bankrupt American Motors Corporation came up with an idea. He created the unthinkable — a compact American car. That visionary executive was George Romney and he coined the phrase "gas guzzling dinosaur." Romney became extremely successful and helped Rambler sell millions of cars.

The above reference is just jealousy on my part for not being able to afford a $400 haircut like a certain former Senator can afford.
Former Senator John Edwards is from North Carolina and has, essentially, been running for President since the presidential election of 2004 ended. Edwards has visited New Hampshire more than any other Democrat, having made 24 separate trips, totaling 40 days. Obviously, that is one benefit of not currently holding public

Ok, so I stole the title of this article from a song from that wildly popular Canadian pop group "The Poppy Family." It was a huge hit way, way, way back in 1969. But it truly does apply to New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson’s 2008 presidential campaign. The messages from his energy plan seem to be going in many different directions.
Let’s look at his extremely impressive resume! Richardson is the current Governor of New

Kansas Senator Sam Brownback was born, raised, and lives in that great corn-growing state. Brownback’s official presidential campaign website describes him as: "Principled. Conservative. Republican." Given Brownback’s conservative beliefs and political agenda, I wanted to get his views on clean energy and energy independence for America.
Let me give you a little background on Brownback. He is a Republican United States Senator from the Sunflower State. He is currently completing his second term, which

Dennis Kucinich is the candidate who is, ostensibly, to the left, of all the other 18 candidates officially in the race to be the next President of the United States.
Given that context, I wondered:
-
How will his environmental beliefs resonate with mainstream America?
- What are his views about renewable energy?
- Does he have a realistic plan for energy independence for America?
Let’s explore the answers to those questions.
First, a
