1. Both Clinton and Obama support reinstating of the windfall profit tax. The tax was abolished in 1988 by Ronald Regan. However, as gas prices continue to rise reinacting the tax has come into consideration
This shows that an old decision made by a republican president can be reconsidered by a possible future democratic president.
2. Mother Jones Magazine- Hilary Clinton's Little Noticed Israel Problem. If Hilary Clinton was elected president it could mean a departure in relations with Israel.
If this proposed situation happens, it would lead to huge problems in the middle east including more war.
3. McCain Faces Test in Wooing Elite Donors

This article touches the point that McCain is not, in any way, keeping up with his Democratic adversaries in fundraising and will have to do so if he wants any chance in the general election. One of his main problems is the reluctance/burnout of the Bush war machine fundraisers; many worked for other Republican candidates before they resigned and conceded the win to McCain and say that are too tired to work for another candidate. A trend points to fundraising generally increasing near the summer and the general election; however, this article shows if the former doesn’t hold true for McCain, he will face a glaring problem in this election.
This observes the long run of the presidential campaign by predicting the general election in November.
4. http://news.yahoo.com-The Clinton camp gets a boost of encouragement from their Pennsylvanian victory along with over $3 million in donations just hours afterward. Obama states that the Clinton campaign is just trying to propose that they are not behind.
Winning Pennslyvania kept Clinton in the race with Obama.
5. www.msnbc.msn.com- Clinton is barely staying in the election race with small victories which will not win her the nomination in the end. McCain may benefit from the dissension among democrats because some from the left would rather vote republican than for the other democratic candidate.
This demonstrates how inter-party divisions can be harmful in the long run and is an example of why some democrats wat Clinton to quit.

Thid also shows that presidential nominies are trying to find a balance between what will help the government and what will help the people.

I'm not sure if Clinton is planing to sever all ties with Israel or if she wants to limit the interaction between our governments so things will have a chance to cool down. Clearly, the U.S. compleatly turning its back on Israel now would mean a turn for the worst.

We saw many people dropping out of the presidential race early on because of a lack of funding. If McCain dosen't recieve financial assistance soon he may have come all this way for nothing.

Not only did it keep her in the race, it also showed her supporters that she can weather both the good and the bad. A trait any good president should have.

It seems like every ellection there is a couple of nominees who bicker about minor details right up to the general ellection. What they don't seem to realize is that it's usualy hurting their campaign, and in general making the party look childish; not exactly what you want in a president.
