Christie Slams Protesters At Romney New Hampshire Campaign Rally

Topic: Chris Christie takes Romney's side and took over rally
click here to view this article.

          In this article, it talks about how protesters crashed Mitt Romney's campaign rally and how Governor Chris Christie defended Romney and stopped it. Protesters came in screaming "Mitt Kills Jobs", Romney handled the manner in a polite way, which can impact on helping people decide if they should vote for him, because he didn't crack under that pressure. But, Christie handled it a totally different way, when somebody said "Chritie kills jobs" he replied with "Something may go down tonight but it' not going to be jobs, sweetheart." He made the protesters start to criticize Barack Obama instead of Romney, saying that Romney will "bring the people together."
          New information that i learned from this article is that Chris Christie would be Romney's vice presidential running mate if he wins that Republican nomination. I think this little event can have an impact on the political arena because it can either win Romney more votes, or make him lose votes. Win votes because people can see how he handled that situation and how he was calm, but lose votes because of the way his eventual vice presidential running mate chris christie handled i

Newt Gingrich: "Obama is hopeless"

Author: CNN
Topic: Gingrich says he is best candidate to run against Obama
Click here to watch this video

          In this interview, Gingrich takes shots at Mitt Romney and Barack Obama. Gingrich says he thinks that once they get into South Carolina and Florida, that he will start winning this GOP race. He says that he is not willing to give anymore states up to Romney from that day forward. He doesn't believe that a Massachusetts moderate can compete against Obama, saying that Obama will have a billion dollar campaign being all negative. He also takes shots at Obama, saying that his campaign slogan went from "Yes we can" to "Why we couldn't". He says that he is the one candidate that can go head-to-head with Obama, and convince the American people that Obama is hopeless.
          This can affect the way people think of Gingrich a lot, maybe some will actually believe what he is saying or they can think its a whole bunch of nonsense and he's just trying to revive his campaign. New information that i learned is that Gingrich really thinks that he can beat all the other candidates including Romney, and even defeat Obama for the presidency. This interview can change the political arena today because it can give people insight on what Gingrich's plan is to do further along the race. So, lets see if Newt Gingrich really does know the "truth"..

GOP Debate.

Date: 12-15-2011
Author: Kathie Obradovich
Topic: GOP debate: Gingrich skates past attacks
Click here to view this article

          The question that is addressed in this article was how did Gingrich do in his latest debate. Some problems that were addressed were that Michele Bachmann gets her facts wrong and she shouldn't be a candidate for the president spot, another problem was Ron Paul's non-aggressive position towards Iran.The result that can affect public policy from Ron Paul's non-aggressive approach is that most Republicans are for being aggressive towards Iran, so the only people he can count to vote for him based on that view are the anti-war supporters. Another conclusion that might affect public policy is the way people see Michele Bachmann, after her performance in the last debate, people might not see her as a good candidate to run against Obama in 2012.
          New information that I learned from this article was that Bachmann wanted to shut down the Fannie Mac and Freddie Mac. I learned that Gingrich wants to abolish the courts of activists judges, while Romney and Paul object this idea. I learned that Ron Paul is basically the only republican that has a non-aggressive position toward Iran.
          The position taken by the author I think is more towards Newt Gingrich's side than any other candidate. She is definitely not on Michele Bachmann's side, stating that "if you have to say you're a serious candidate, there's room for doubt." when Bachmann said that she was a serious candidate for president. The impact this article can have on the political arena today isn't a very big one. I think this article just briefing explains what happened in the debate. The debate can change people's views on certain candidates like Michele Bachmann, Rick Perry, and Rick Santorum who didn't have the best showing at their last debate and people might have some doubts about them. But it could give Gingrich a positive impact because he was under attack almost the whole debate, but he didn't back down and made a strong push and shined all through the second half of the debate.

Romney Looks To Pick Up Steam As First Votes Near In Iowa And S. Carolina

Topic: Romney looks to pick up steam as first votes near in Iowa and South Carolina
Click here to view this article.

          The problem addressed by this article is whether or not Mitt Romney can regain momentum in the GOP presidential contest. It addressed how Romney tried to get Tea Party voters more on his side by picking up an endorsement of governor Nikki Haley, who was one of the tea party's successes in 2010. Results that might affect public policy are which way the tea party voters and evangelical voters vote in Iowa and South Carolina. Romney is strong in New Hampshire because they are more aligned with his approach, the problem is how many votes he would get in Iowa and South Carolina.
          New information that i learned was that Mitt Romney is almost for sure going to win New Hampshire, that he thinks that bank regulations and the healthcare overhaul by Obama is harmful to small businesses.Also, that Newt Gingrich has passed Romney in some polls, but Gingrich's strength is losing momentum due to a good amount of attack ads from other candidates. I could use this information given by getting a closer look at how Romney is going about trying to win these three states by getting on tea party and evangelical voter's "good side". I can also use it by seeing how Newt Gingrich's campaign is slowly declining due to attack ads from his opposition. I don't think the author of this article really takes any position in this article, he's pretty neutral.

Video: John Huntsman's ABC Interview

Topic: John Huntsman's Interview With Christiane Amanpour
Click here to watch the video

The problem that Huntsman addressed in this interview was the deficit of trust here in the United States. He says that the people don't trust Congress, the Executive branch, or wall street because of banks that are too big to fail. He says that members of congress need term limits so they can "close the revolving door that allows members of congress to move right on into the lobbying profession. Another problem that was addressed was how Huntsman is going to get himself to the top of the Primary from where he is now, which is basically at the bottom.
          The result that can affect public policy is whether or not the people agree with Huntsman's beliefs that members of Congress need term limits and that someone has to take on banks who are too big to fail. Another result is how will Huntsman's strategy in basically forgetting about winning Iowa and putting a lot of his time in trying to come out around the top in New Hampshire is going to affect him as the race goes on.
          New information that i learned from this interview is that people want Congress members to have term limits and that the citizens of the United States really don't trust their government like they should. I could use this information by helping me decide on who would I want from the Republican side to run against Obama for the Presidency of the United States because it shows me how one person, Huntsman, acts towards getting things done if chosen president.
          The author doesn't really take a position, she just asked some general questions and listened to what John Huntsman had to say. The impact this article can have on the political arena today I don't think would be a very big one. Maybe, people would understand where Huntsman is coming from, and even other Republican candidates can add on to some things that Huntsman pointed out, in particular, their views on the deficit of trust in the United States.
