  Imperial Presidency, by Noam Chomsky
It is particularly striking because the Canadian observers surely were aware that at the time there were more US mercenaries in South Vietnam as part of the invading US army than there were North Vietnamese – even if we assume that somehow North Vietnamese are not allowed in Vietnam.
The diplomatic historians who have explored the Canadian archives have not reported any misgivings about the attack against South Vietnam, which by the time of these internal communications, was demolishing the country.
Recall the concern of Canadian “neutral observers” in the ICC over the possible precedent of Vietnamese aggression in Vietnam, traceable to similar roots, we learn in the US documentary record.

This was frustrating because I think a lot of Canadians really wanted to hear what he had to say, but in the same breath you had to sympathize with him when Martin and Layton refused to let him get a word in edgewise on some issues, especially as the allotted time ran down.

 Jones | Living in Interesting Times: The Canadian Election and Its Meaning
Canadians have reassembled a right of center Conservative party; it will be a more effective foil for the Liberals.
Canadian elections run a minimum of thirty-five days; this limit reduces the official electioneering (although as is the case in other twenty-first century democracies, all parties campaign all the time), but also intensifies it.
Basic guidelines for Canadian policy in these areas are now a decade old, and reportedly they are not scheduled for release until autumn.

 The 2004 Congressional Elections
In 2002, a record 99% of House incumbents were reelected-only four challengers succeeded in unseating a House incumbent in the entire country.
As a result, the battle for control of Congress in 2004 will be fought in the open-seat contests and a small group of competitive races involving incumbents.
At least three Senate incumbents appear to be vulnerable, including Democratic minority leader Tom Daschle of South Dakota, Republican Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, and moderate Republican Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania.

 Interest Groups in Campaign 2004
The presidential and congressional elections of 2004 will undoubtedly be influenced by interest groups in terms of voter turnout, candidate endorsements, and campaign contributions.
Underlying the evaluation of interest groups in the 2004 U.S. elections is a general understanding of the relationship between money and interests and an appreciation for federal regulation.
The 2004 election will therefore prominently feature questions as to the relative influence of interest groups based on at least four components: size, wealth, issue relevance, and group representation.

The two remaining incumbents had no such control over their fate, with MISSOURI Gov. Bob Holden (D) getting the heave-ho from voters in the Show Me State primary and UTAH Gov. Olene S. Walker (R) getting the same treatment from her own party at the state's GOP convention.
Democratic incumbent Joe Kernan has at times seemed uninterested in being the governor, even telling his party in 2002, when he was the Hoosier State's lieutenant governor, that he would not run for the top job.
Neither Democrats nor Republicans appear to be very optimistic about a smooth 2004 Election Day, judging by the armies of lawyers their respective presidential campaigns have assembled in the states to fight any legal battles that should happen to arise.

 Editor in Chief's Pulse of the Nation
In a late January/early February 2004 poll, Gallup found that 31% of Americans were "certain" that "Iraq had ties to Osama bin Laden's terrorist organization known as al Qaeda before the war." Another 43% thought that such ties were likely, although not certain.
But incumbents have a harder time producing real change at their conventions, in large part because Americans are already so used to seeing an incumbent making speeches and appearing in ceremonial settings.
It's interesting to note, in passing, that in comparison with Americans, Canadians are significantly more likely to mention healthcare as their nation's top problem, and Britons are significantly more likely to mention the impact of immigration.

 The Washington Monthly
But, historically, an incumbent in that situation in October goes down to defeat in November; at this point in October 1980 Carter was leading in the polls, and it wasn't until after the third debate that Reagan began to pull away rapidly.
A colleague of mine (won't post the link to his paper without permission, those interested e-mail me for the link) looked at spreads in votes between incumbents and challengers in close House races, and there is a noticeable gap in outcomes that narrowly defeat the incumbent and an overhang of narrow victories for the incumbent.
With that one revolting, shameless, self-promoting betrayal of all the men who were AT THAT VERY MOMENT being tortured to repeat these very same lies, Kerry won the undying love of all the hard-core anti-war 60's-era losers (and their modern progeny) and alienated the other 70% of the country.

BERLIN, June 28, 2004 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Professor Rolf Winau, director of the centre for humanities and health sciences at the Charite medical school in Berlin, has urged doctors in reproductive medicine to revisit the medical experiments carried out during the Nazi era and to "exorcize their demons" with regard to eugenics philosophy.
Winau expressed the mainstream of modern bioethics thinking when, at the annual conference of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE), he urged IVF researchers to overcome their moral revulsion against eugenics.

 Jon Arnold's Blog: Canadian VoIP - CRTC End Run
After the CRTC ruling, the incumbents said they would appeal the decision, and they have taken several opportunities in public forums to air their disappointment in the ruling.
It appears this is driven by their belief that the public supports their position, so they're gambling that 30+ million people can't be wrong, and this should carry more weight than the handful of CRTC regulators who ruled against them.
We are a peaceful and reasonable people, and I guess the incumbents think they can use moral suasion to get their way.
